Kim has the ability to process complex data and identify patterns at a speed that exceeds standard human cognition. This is what allowed him to achieve a perfect score on the high-range intelligence tests used by the World Genius Directory.

But here’s the key truth his immense genius has revealed. Despite his mind boggling intellect he has never achieved anything to improve the world. He’s never saved any lives, he’s never discovered a cure for a disease, he’s never created any groundbreaking innovations…

The lesson he has taught is is it’s not what’s inside that counts, it’s what you do that counts…

It doesn’t matter how smart you are. It doesn’t matter how good your intentions are, or what great ideas you have. It doesn’t matter if you think you’re a good, kind person. None of that matters. Because you are not your thoughts or your beliefs. You are only the sum total of your deeds.

The problem is we easily lie to ourselves. We believe we value life. We believe we’re against cruelty. Then we go and eat factory farmed chicken that had to go through hell so that we could experience ten minutes of pleasure.

We are so confident and so cruel in our criticism of others and so lenient in our criticism of our own behavior. The problem is this creates a barrier of deceit in our minds. Our beliefs become disjointed from our realities. We go about the world believing we’re good people, all the while doing the things we so firmly critisize in others.

You aren’t a writer until you write. You aren’t a leader until you lead. You’re not a genius until you solve real problems. You aren’t “kind” because you feel sympathy; you are kind because you helped someone. The lesson is to stop telling people what you “plan”, or what you believe is right and wrong.

“What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence. The only thing of consequence is what we do”

John Ruskin

The lesson is to go and do the things we think are right. Not to talk about them. Not to critisize others who don’t do them. To actually be who you pretend to be. Unfortunately that requires courage and willpower. Which is why most people prefer to pretend.
