I would classify this as "Self help" advice based on personal experience. Over all its very good advice to learn to collaborate with others.<p>There are so many persuasion filters here "Partner at Ycombinator", "Co-Founder", "Director", "Apple", "High Achiever writer in general". With this many strong credentials, it would be very very difficult to critically read such advice and then think of alternative ideas.<p>"If you don’t retrain your model based on input from the crowd, you’ll never converge on truth." This is true for machines.<p>Other high achievers believe in the alternate version.<p>"Reasonable men adapt to the world around them; unreasonable men make the world adapt to them. The world is changed by unreasonable men." Edwin Louis Cole<p>"truth is my goal. Controversy is my gym. I'll do a hundred reps of controversy for a 6 pack of truth" - Kanye west.<p>"Your life goal should be not to win any particular game, rather to win the sum of all games." This metaphor of everything is a game really really works well for certain people. I personally witnessed it.<p>It would be a sad life if you turn everything you do in life as a game where you need to compete with others to win and never question the nature of the game itself.<p>"Do what you love" is an over all long term approach that sustains your energy and focus for long term.<p>Most ideas of high achievers are very contradictory, in general its a good idea to listen to so many of them and pick something that meets your style.
