Extreme people take extreme action through extreme knowledge. When you see news that a 14-year-old raised $15M in VC funding, most people just believe it. But someone with extreme thirst for knowledge clicks every link, searches every name, and turns that one piece of news into an entire course worth of knowledge.

Most people just know things - they don't have convictions. The sweet spot: niche interests + deep rabbit holes. All billionaires studied their way to the top. Elon Musk digs up biographies constantly. Dumb people have lower research skills. Smart people have higher research skills.

Warning: you cannot study everything. Pick your niche wisely.
