Scott Adams on Kanye West on Rich People and Skill Stacks

Scott Adams has an interesting periscope up on Kanye West talking about how black people need to “think more like rich people.”

Some of the points Adams covers about how Kanye West exhibits “rich people thinking” (especially compared to #BlackLivesMatter):

  • Think in systems rather than goals
  • Talk to everyone (networking)
  • Develop your skill stack
  • Take logical risks
  • Learn from mistakes
  • Make alliances
  • Be generous (do favors without asking for immediate returns)
  • Lead with love
  • Concentrate on the now, not the past
  • He ends with a discussion of the basic skills people in the inner city need to learn to be successful: How to keep your own books, how to find mentors, how to get your first job, how to dress for your first job. Even a boot camp on how to talk to the police.

    More interesting than I expected it to be…
