is your self-importance, your ego – the desire to assert yourself, to feel like you’re not so bad, to think you will achieve something, to feel like you’re doing well. Or simply to feed your “self,” searching between the lines for something that fuels your own sense of self-importance. You have your own visions, your own dreams, your own desires about who you are. And what you are really doing is feeding your own personal path. You don’t believe in God, you don’t want to save the world, you don’t think about gods or the system, about leaving a legacy for humanity, or about me. No, you don’t think about any of that. You only think about yourself. That’s who’s in second place here. And that’s the truth. And what’s wrong with that? What is there to be ashamed of? Nothing. Everyone has different motivations. I’ve always said that almost all successful people became successful because of their insecurities, because of their own flaws. They had that complex – the feeling that someone else had something they didn’t. And they thought, “This is actually a weakness.” And many people achieved things precisely because of these weaknesses. Because when everything is fine, when you are self-sufficient, why would you even need to compete with anyone? Why would you need to prove anything to anyone? But don’t confuse this with laziness. Many lazy people latch onto this idea and say, “I’m the same way.” No, no, no. You still have to work endlessly. But as I said, working endlessly and being a clown for show, being flashy – that’s not the same thing. Don’t forget, these are different things. No one wants to help people if they can’t tell anyone about it. No one wants to dig up potatoes in a field if they can’t post about it online, if no one is there to pat them on the back. Everyone is still caught up in vanity – the need to talk about themselves, to show themselves, to announce themselves to the world.
So, returning to the topic of the multiverse – at certain moments, you find yourself in a different multiverse, where you perceive me differently, read my book differently, and even I am different. Now think about this: when, at some point, I seem to change – is it really me changing, or is it you? This is a mathematical question. A purely mathematical one, without any illusions. After all, if you are in the “sky” multiverse, could Alexandr Korol be rude in that multiverse? No. And you might think that I am being rude, but maybe you have entered a multiverse where there exists an Alexandr Korol who is rude to you. This is something to think about – when something suddenly starts
