This post is a follow-up to a post 2 days ago that was banned about only checking your phone in your cave, not in front of your wife. I totally agree that the deadly SCROLL is fucking weak shit and a big waste of fucking time.

I just read “How Life Imitates Chess – making the right moves form the board to the boardroom”, by Garry Kasparov, for 2nd time. For those who don’t know, he is considered the greatest chess player who ever lived – modern times- and held the highest rating and was # 1 for over 20 years.

In chapter 13, Man versus Machine, he discusses the concept he came up with of “Advanced Chess”. It’s basically a way to illustrate the benefits of human + computer collaboration. He developed this game concept to as a way to answer the fascinating question of what would a combination of human intuition and computer calculation produce on the chess board? The idea is that grandmasters play the game by combining experience and intuition, backed up with calculation and study. Computers play chess by brute calculation. This is why a strong chess players on his best day can beat the strongest computer. (Garry beat Deep Blue in my book, IBM changed their algorithm during the game and made a human move when they were about to lose… When Garry requested to view the data after the game, IMB refused…deleted the files… and ultimately ended their technology to promote the game of chess. He knew and proved that IMB interfered… fuck them)

Garry concluded that by each player using a computer during the game, as a partner, meant never having to worry about making a tactical blunder in the middle game. Players could concentrate more in deep planning instead of the precise calculations that take up so much time in regular games. As a result, beautiful chess and art could be created on the board.

So, what’s the fucking point of all this?

We all carry cell phones with us every day at work. We have more knowledge and wisdom that’s available to us then any Egyptian Pharaoh, US President , etc (you get the point) or entire countries had access to. I learned to use the phone to my advantage at work. After finding MMSLP and MRP, and then unfucking myself, I got a huge promotion at work too -as a result. I basically used the “Advanced Chess” concept at my work to out perform coworkers. It’s so easy to when you realize that only 3% of people even try. 97% of people are not even trying and are fine going home every day jerking off to porn and going to bed. It’s easy to get what you want when you really realize this.

My mindset is that I consider my phone (Google) my partner during the day. He is in control of the brute calculations and looking things up. I get to focus on the long-term plans and strategy. I’m in the engineering field, so I’m always confronted with technical things that I have never heard of – sometimes in meetings, board rooms, presentations, design reviews, etc. In the old days, one had to do research on something by reading old plans and specs, contacting vendors, asking someone else. Today, all you need to do is use your phone.

It’s amazing how many older people and sometimes younger people too do not know how to search for shit on their phones. Some people are fucking retarded. They would rather SCROLL. I’m so fucking good at it, I can look something up and have a good working idea on how it works in about 10 minutes. I seem to go deep and find forums and scan posts, go on vendor websites and read about the product, watch you tube videos. Can’t tell you how many times it saved me at work and made me appear to know so much more than my competition.
Perception = Reality.

Sometimes I need to do presentations on topics I’m not familiar with. I prepare by watching you tube videos, etc. It’s almost like method acting, I get a feel for the subject matter even though I never actually touched it before– sometimes like the Twilight episode with the history teacher.. He knew so much, it was AS IF he was really there at one time and lived in the era…. Because he was! That’s who I feel like sometimes.

NEVER deer and tell people that you googled the answer. They’ll laugh,, but fuck them. It’s called research. Most people do not prepare for meetings ahead of time. Use your phone and prepare and do your homework. It's only takes 5 fucking minutes. Develop an opinion. People don’t have to know how you did your research. Keep specifications and contracts on pdf and use the search function. It’s fucking simple but yet so powerful when you can pull up the key word in a second. You will be perceived as being on top of your shit. - Because you ARE.

Lessons Learned:

  • Use your cell phone as your advantage at work
  • Get good at looking shit up
  • Prepare for meetings
  • Let Google be your brute force partner during the day in order to kick work’s ass.
  • Take pride in your work.
