Not the formulas or the terminology that people flaunt without understanding the core, but the reverse. I carry the essence, even if I don’t know the names or formal terms. You know, like a person who intuitively knows that if they sit on a piece of styrofoam, it will break. And that example might make sense to all of you, but many people don’t know even such basic things; they don’t take such things into account. And now I have that. And it’s like some kind of insanely wise knowledge — I don’t know what else to call it — because it’s in everything. It’s as if you see every situation from beginning to end and all the possible “buts.” All the “what ifs.” All the risks and all the non-risks. And so, back in 2010, it poured into me — and it has remained to this day. And it’s as if, you know, as if I grasp the very essence of things. Like, if I watch a film and other people watch the same film, they won’t see the essence that I see. Or with a book — if I had opened a physics book earlier in life, I wouldn’t have understood it. To me it would have seemed difficult, incomprehensible, just words and formulas. But now I can simply read it and understand everything. It’s as if I’ve become someone whose operating memory — like a computer’s — has become something unique. And maybe I still don’t know all the countries and their capitals — and I’m not ashamed of that. It’s just that my understanding of development is completely different from how people usually perceive it. People think it’s okay not to understand the essence, the depth, the wisdom, as long as they’ve memorized all the countries. And if I forget the name of a country, they might laugh at me. But still, as it turns out, I’m the one who’s truly wiser — not them. That is, they don’t take into account how to call a taxi properly, they don’t account for traffic jams, they’re not punctual, they don’t consider all the human factors. As a result, things never quite line up for them — they lose their keys, forget their money, take out a loan they can’t repay, start something and don’t finish it. So, in everything, there’s incompleteness and some kind of mishaps. Yet they might boast that they’ve memorized all the countries of the world, while I don’t know any country, don’t understand anything, don’t speak any languages. You see, someone might brag about knowing a director and all the films that director made. I don’t know that, but the film made by that director — without even knowing who directed it — I felt it as if I were the director. While those people watched it in their own way, through their illusions, but they remember the director’s name. So what’s better — to see a film through the eyes of the director
