Kapil Gupta: Conquering the Mind

Transcript: nav.al/kapil. Kapil: / kapilguptamd .
Highlights:
- Sincerity -
Naval: “I can always tell that people who ask for stock tips, aren’t really serious about investing. People who ask for book recommendations aren’t really serious about reading. People who ask ‘What, what business should I build?’ aren’t really serious about entrepreneurship.”
- How-To’s -
Kapil: “Take the person who “made it’ and became world-class in whatever he did. If he went back and retraced his steps and did everything again the same way, but this time he did it by mimicking himself, he would fail.”
Naval: “I can’t watch Roger Federer play tennis and swing the racket the same way, nor will any description from him on how to swing the racket, get me to swing it the right way. Then we go to intellectual efforts. We start asking Warren Buffet why he invested in a company and there he can try and create a mental construct as to how he thinks and how he invests in a company… But there are just as many details to Warren Buffett’s activities, when he decides what to invest in and how he lives his life and how he thinks, as there are to Roger Federer’s body running around a tennis court, hitting a ball. At some level, the details are not transmissible. They’re not copyable.”
Kapil: “The things that you do greatest are the things that you know not how you do.”
- Truth -
Naval: “Society is a set of collective lies that we all believe so we can get along. It allows us to establish a lower common denominator consensus so we don’t all kill each other and we can cooperate. These shared fictions that we have to maintain for society to function are fine. But there’s a cost to that, and the cost is borne by the individual.”
Naval: “One of the ways in which I know that I am finding truths is then that problem is solved for good.”
- Freedom -
Kapil: “Any freedom that leads to the desire for more freedom is not freedom.”
Kapil: “Freedom comes from the understanding of where things come from, not the conscious attempt to end them.”
- Progress -
Kapil: “A human being becomes his environment. It is absolutely critical to savagely and surgically arrange one’s environment in a way that is in accordance with where he wants to go.”
Kapil: “Looking for progress is essentially looking for pleasure. It is the pleasure of self image, which says, I’m in a better place now than I was before.”

    @The Deathless Sorry I don’t know how to be brief with this. I became financially secure pretty much the slow hard way, with 20+ years of the corporate auto industry slog through marketing, sales, and GM roles. I was always a decent saver, perhaps because my parents were not. I worked hard at work and tried to make my bosses look good and perform well. I balanced being aggressive with maintaining good relationships across all levels. I hated assholes and tried hard not to be one. I became increasingly more confident as I gained knowledge and experience. When nothing was moving career-wise, I always planted seeds about what I wanted to do in the future. I became known as someone creative who could also lead and execute. I never liked subordinating myself to others, but I sucked it up and did it anyways because that’s how corporate works. It was always relationships that helped me progress. Mostly bosses and former bosses. My breakout was being selected to be founder and CEO of foreign subsidiary - and life became much more challenging but infinitely more satisfying. I was really alive then. My ego grew and I left corporate to my own company back in US. Survived as entrepreneur through the financial crisis. Sold company for a nominal gain, and jumped to technology company serving my industry. Took a step backwards with a marketing role to gain entry then in two years became head of marketing for B2B SaaS company. In 5 years company grew 4x to $1B in revenue. My grants and options were all accelerated as a result of $4B acquisition, and I suddenly became more comfortable. I worked a few more years years, and now I retired in my late 50s and am general contracting the build of my retirement house. My wife still works so we have insurance and enough income to live on without out dipping into savings or investments. I believe in diversified investing including some hard assets and even a little crypto. Markets have been great, but high valuations and inflation both worry me. So my advice to anyone finding their path to success is to fully prepare first to gain entry to a career, always nurture the fire within (ambition) and then be patient to wait for doors to open that you must walk through. If you make mistakes, so what, everyone does. Just keep trudging forward and do your best to live up to your potential.

    "Prescriptions". Listening to Kapil and Naval allowed me to shed a new light on a quote from Krishnamurti. The gist of it is to find answers for yourself. Stop looking for external sources to explain you how you should behave. Here's the quote from Krishnamurti (November 5, 1966) : "You must understand it, go into it, examine it, give your heart and your mind, with everything that you have, to find out a way of living differently. That depends on you, and not on someone else. Because in this : _ There is no teacher, no pupil, there is no leader, there is no Guru, no Master, no Saviour; _ You yourself are the teacher and the pupil, you are the guru, you are the master, you are the leader. You are everything. And to understand is to transform what is."

    I don’t feel as though Kapil is free though, he’s obsessed and a direct slave to the pursuit of truth. He says this in one of his podcasts, he says it’s not a choice for him, in fact it’s the only way. He’s not at ease, he fears that there may be something he’s not seeing and therefore is wasting his life. One of the more eccentric gurus, I do like and agree with a lot of his insights but ultimately I kind of disagree with the overall philosophy of the “sincere” or “serious” is the only one not wasting his/her life. I don’t think that’s a prerequisite for an non wasted life, it’s just too objective of a stance but that’s his opinion that should be for himself only I think, not the truth for everyone.

    Big difference in understanding something intellectually, and understanding it in your heart. I can understand something intellectually and rationalize it all day long but it causes a big resistance because my heart doesn’t feel it. This is my battle and god damn is it hard. If I could get my heart to understand I’d be enlightened, there would be no more conflict.

    @Suffering Succotash but don't you think, rationalising and understanding from the brain is the first step towards enlightenment. Like I feel first you try to understand the root cause of the problem, and then you figure out over time how you can overcome in a way that's accepted (both to your heart and brain). Also can you give an example of what you mean by understanding from heart and brain

    Blown away. My takeaway: 1. Exposure to the truth. 2. There is no journey. 3. Seriousness, genuineness, and sincerity can be an organ of its own. My Experience: I have been following Naval & Kapil for a long time and trying to build an understanding to 'understand problems'. After reading Atmamun, I spent the time to solve one of my problem - Anger. I would be peaceful, then suddenly if something happens which was not in accordance with my belief or understanding - that would tickle me to get Angry. It went away after I understood the cause - after spending numerous years fighting it.

It's okay if people don't agree with you - they may eventually if the context is built. Or acknowledge the possibility that you may be wrong. The idea is that one should not concern himself/herself with agreeing or disagreeing. Now, the current state is - the job is to seek truth with sincerity and discuss it with sincerity - how others take it - is none of my concern.

    @@catdogfishdogcats Completely agree with your comment, but I'd frame it as a "lie" (not just a lie) or better yet, an illusion. No one lies to themselves on purpose, consciously. We interact with each other thinking we understand another person, because we believe it to be true. And once you realize it's impossible to fully understand the other person, we interact with others keeping that in mind. I like to make this distinction, because lie implies both awareness of the truth and often ill intent. As for OP - it's absolutely true as well. Societal rules and customs are (almost) the lowest common denominator (we still have some standards that we expect people to uphold, but it seems that in a name of equality and fairness, which are noble reasons, those standards are being lowered all the time), but they need to be that way in order to keep society functioning and not descent into chaos. At the same time, it's those who break those rules, that change the world and create the path for progress. The problem of course is twofold, and second stems from the first: 1. Not everyone who breaks from norms creates a positive change, a lot of it is neutral, but some are bad and dangerous 2. Because of 1., society will always try to push the outlier back into the "norm". Unfortunately this is the only reasonable approach, otherwise we would risk destroying everything humans created so far (not to mention (im)possibility of changing general population's approach). Maybe in the future, with the advancement of technology, medicine, etc. we will he able to create more temporary chaos, because it will be possible to quickly revert its negative consequences. Not at this though.

    The truth and clarity of this conversation is what I have been looking for. The clarity of both your minds is amazing and how you articulate and peel such a difficult topic is beautiful and amazing. Thank you for this! There is really no prescription for anything. This conversation is a clear inspiration. I cannot articulate what changed for me but there is strong resonance and I hope it doesn't fade away.

    Naval, the KZread Gods (algorithms) have led me to your podcast by accident. I first heard Kapil on Moe Abdou's podcast, 33 voices. I was driving from Atlanta to Florida and listened to that podcast several times. Every single time, I cried. I've never spoken with Kapil but, his words have changed my thinking profoundly. Sometimes I feel like a fraud just saying that but it can't be unlearned. As a former devout Hindu, I now question almost everything and this has led to a better understanding of why I am, the way I am. I have personally thanked Moe for the work he continues to do, and now, you. Thank you Naval.

    Brilliant talk. Thank you for sharing. This talk has many layers; the notable one for me being the constant need for self improvement. I think back on when I first heard Alan Watts say: "...if you are really aware of your own inner workings, you will realize there’s nothing you can do to improve yourself. Because you don’t know what better is, in any case, and you, who will do the improving, are the one who needs to be improved."

    An interesting podcast which didn’t simply offer freedom/enlightenment on a plate but instead offered a path for those who seek it. Naval was commendably frank with his comments and alluded to an issue which many of us feel at some point: namely, the desire for appreciation but with little of the judgement or criticism. (For example, his desire to teach when he gets to a certain knowledge point, or the way that criticism stings relative to praise on social media, etc.) Kapil’s advice was to essentially: (i) lean into, and not away, from the problem; (ii) pose a better question to the problem (e.g. does it stem from childhood?); (iii) most importantly, just let the trait be and don’t fight it, for that will just trap you again! A powerful addition to the mental toolkit. Thanks again for the podcast and hopefully there will be more in the future.

I obviously have not known them, as it is the first time I am hearing them. But to hear them presented in such a way feels like a massive weight off my shoulders. I am curious as to why/where from these feelings arise.
