A few things are kicking around in me:
- The first person to market something is the first person to make the something. At least as far as most people are concerned. I've been thinking about the unfortunateness of that.
- The 50th Law mentions that Napoleon's strength was rapid and open information intake. I've been wondering what's required to achieve that.

Reminds me of the fact that a lot of people would say the iPod was the first MP3 player. I don't love that, because I'm way better at having ideas than being a people person, let alone a salesperson or marketer. That's one of the biggest reasons I've never tried to be an entrepreneur.

If you discover anything, let me know. I feel like I'm at my best when I have time to absorb information and let it sink all the way in. All of my test scores in school would have been a lot higher if it weren't for time limits. I feel like that's a weakness for me.

I also totally get this, but I wouldn't let that hold you back. You can have ideas about people too even if you aren't used to it. Culture is just another system - a bigger, messier, and therefore interesting, system.
