Why I go High-Risk… but only on My Terms

My terms: I have complete control over my choices and the option to affect the outcome.

This means that I am willing to invest in potential outcomes in which the more I risk losing, the more I can control my actions.

I only interact with other persons on an equal-risk-equal-power level.

From a financial perspective, this means that I am willing to pay another person for goods or services to the extent that I believe that the value I receive is equal to 10x the number of dollars invested. This also means that when another person pays me for goods or services, they must believe that they receive 10x the dollar value they have invested with me. If I pay $100 for something, I must receive what I perceive to be at least $1,000 of benefit from it. The same goes if someone is paying me: $1,000 invested means that I provide at least (what I consider to be) $10,000 of value.

Value means that I (or the other person) believes that another investment would have meant spending 10x as much dollar value of time or other expenditures to achieve the same results.

Value is another word for efficiencies. Money is another word for efficiencies. Time is another word for speed, which is another word for efficiencies. The rate of exchange between value/time/speed and money (for my purposes) is 10:1. Specific words and relationships between these are personal.

This is becoming a rabbit hole. Since I’m not-Alice, it’s time for me to move upwards on the spiral…
