Your life is nothing more than the sum of your decisions. “Future You” always must pay for the sins of “Present You.”
My new book launches next week and I must say, I’ve made some boneheaded moves. I’ll elaborate probably in a later newsletter, but the fact remains. Outcomes arrive from decisions. And sometimes good decisions deliver bad outcomes. But over time, good decisions win.
If your life sucks, your decisions suck. Compounding and uncertain certainty wins. Sounds simple eh? But really… how deep does the rot go?
Is it just a minor leak in the roof, or is your entire foundation about to collapse under the weight of your Easy choices?
I’ve put together a diagnostic test to help you audit your current state: The DEFCON Test.
It measures your Decisional Fallout Condition, the state of your current decision affairs, the difference between building a legacy with no regrets, or just digging a deeper hole that you must endure.
They say that “Everything happens for a reason.”
That reason is likely a shitty, Easy decision.
Your Choice of AI Matters!
Incidentally, this is WHY your choice of AI is important.
I fed this test to 4 AI systems and asked for the average score based on available data, statistics and surveys.
- ChatGPT: 60
- Grok: 52
- Claude: 24
- Gemini: 16
Is your AI soft-peddling you BS? Patting you on the back for mediocrity? Of course, most people lie on this test and will score in the 70s and 80s, and is not evidenced by any statistical reality.
Lying is EASY. Being honest is HARD.
This is your first test in the Shadow War.
What is your current DEFCON level? Find out and post it on the forum me know what you scored! Warning: It’s not an easy test as I scored an 88 — and I wrote the damn book!
