This seems to be anchored around optimizing your intelligence to be a competitive advantage. Life as a competition of minds. For example:

> Improbable lives have fewer competitors

> The more you-ish you become, the less competition you have, because you are occupying your own niche.

> The less predictable you are, the less likely you are to be replaced by AIs

As opposed to Ilya Sutskever's famous quip:

> if you value intelligence above all other human qualities, you’re gonna have a bad time
