a foolish Doer will indeed outperform a clever Thinker

hi goodiegang,

You know when you come across something SO precise it almost demands silence? Like you need the rest of the day to let it settle, to turn it over, to marinate? Precisely what occurred when this came across my Substack feed the other night …

“A foolish doer outperforms a clever thinker.”

I saw it during a late-night, post-shower scroll (habit-maxxing, ofc, combining reading time with my red light mask). I had just finished a particularly spicayyyyyyy book and was looking for one last stimulant before bed, something to linger on so as not to have one natural thought peek through. Instead, I found something that explained me a leettleeee too well. It’s managed to sum up one of the more persistent (haunting) contradictions and creative blocks I’ve felt in my mere 24 years.
