Graham Weaver gave one of the most psychologically brutal lectures ever delivered at Stanford.

Not about success or money.

He explained why:
- Fear sounds logical
- Smart people stay stuck
- Most people never live at full potential

12 lessons from his final lecture: 1. Most people aren’t lost, they’re trapped by fear

Weaver didn’t quit his first job because it was terrible.
He quit because it required him to deny who he was.

The fear voice said:
Stay safe
Don’t rock the boat
Be grateful

The truth voice said:
This isn’t your life

Most people confuse fear with responsibility.
That’s how they shrink their future without realizing it.

In 1973, Richard Feynman revealed a way of thinking that makes “common sense” look like superstition.

He broke down:
• Names vs knowledge
• Experiment >> history
• How real discovery happens
• Why rituals survive without evidence

12 lessons from Feynman’s masterclass: 1. Ask: “What witches do we believe in now?”

Feynman starts with a brutal mental move.
People laugh at old beliefs like witches.
Then he flips it:

What are our witches?
What rituals do we do daily with weak evidence, just because “everyone does it”?

Even something as normal as brushing teeth becomes a test case.
Not because he’s anti-toothbrush.
But because he’s anti-unquestioned-belief.

He was a psychologist.

He proved that our brains are wired to make irrational choices even if we’re highly intelligent.

Especially if we’re intelligent. Image

Inversion Thinking.
