Comments by "Robert Lee Aka Cancel-Proof" (@Rob337_aka_CancelProof) on "The Psychology of Power - How to Dethrone Tyrants" video.
We all do desire power and one of the best kinds of power is knowledge (I know, really cliche, but I had to) it edifies the individual and is not a destructive power like so many others. When wielded properly it has the power to overcome one of our most powerful emotions fear because we fear that which we do not understand and when we do finally understand it we no longer fear it because we understand it. What comes to mind immediately is a video of young shark researcher living in Hawaii kind of petite gentle with a soft-spoken personality swimming with a 40 foot long great white shark. I would be scared out of my mind and the shark would immediately leave because of the smell of poo LOL but she just calmly swim beside it reaching out and touching it along its side never once appearing fearful or feeling threatened. She has such a strong understanding and wealth of knowledge on sharks knowing their behavior and temperament she would having a healthy respect for giant sharks and understanding them as she does she would immediately spot the signs that the shark is becoming aggressive and removed herself from this situation but that is not anything at all like fear which consumes us and shut our brains off and causes us to act irrationally. Ignorance is not Bliss it's just ignorance and knowledge truly is power
