I hope everybody's getting smarter.
All evidence shows that we are actually getting smarter. Roughly we are getting 10 IQ points smarter every decade. The speed of innovation is also faster.
I think just by the nature of getting older, I hope that I'm a smarter basketball player than I was at 23.
But there's no substitute for getting smarter faster. And the way you get smarter is to screw around vigorously. Try stuff. See what works. See what fails miserably. Learn. Rinse. Repeat.
I mean people -- people don't get -- they don't get smarter about things that get as basic as greed and you can't stand to see your neighbor getting rich. You know you're smarter than he is, and he's doing these things, you know, and he's getting rich, and your spouse is getting unhappy with you because you aren't doing -- pretty soon you start doing it. And so you get what I call the natural progression, the three Is. The innovators, the imitators, and the idiots.
While the average person is home watching TV, the Leader Without a Title is in the gym getting stronger or at the library getting smarter or at the office getting better (or with their family growing kinder). Make this day count.
We can't stop the development of smarter and smarter artificial intelligences. So our alternative is to make ourselves smarter so that we always stay one step ahead.
I'm working with Al Haymon, who is the best in boxing and he manages my career, and every time I fight he tells me, 'Look, you're only getting better and better, smarter and smarter, keep trying and one day we're going to get that big shot.' And sure enough, it happened.
When I started out, nutrition wasn't a huge thing in my arsenal. Getting older, I'm getting a little smarter, thinking about longevity.
I hope everybody enjoys our input on 'Black Water' - it sure was a lot of fun getting to record it.
You can't stand to see your neighbor getting rich. You know you're smarter than he is and he's doing these things and he's getting rich.
Everybody is smarter from outside of the court.
There are two ways to do great mathematics. The first is to be smarter than everybody else. The second way is to be stupider than everybody else - but persistent.
I thought I was so much smarter than everybody. And I'm not.
I used to have the very standard worldview. I can easily identify with people who see computers getting faster and smarter, and technology getting more and more beneficial, without seeing the other side.
A lot of times, sets are not such fun places to be, and especially television sets, because everybody works so hard, and everybody's kind of grumbling about getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning and not getting home until midnight.
In the media age, everybody was famous for 15 minutes. In the Wikipedia age, everybody can be an expert in five minutes. Special bonus: You can edit your own entry to make yourself seem even smarter.
