The Meta-Game: You're Not Learning Facts, You're Building Judgment

Most people consume information. You're about to develop intelligence.

The difference? Information tells you what to think. Intelligence teaches you how to think.

This prompt isn't a course. It's a thinking machine. Use it right, and you'll develop AI judgment that compounds for decades. Use it wrong, and you'll just collect smart-sounding quotes.

Pre-Flight: Set Your Intent

Before you start, answer these three questions honestly:

1. What's your real AI challenge? Not the one you think you should have. The one keeping you up at night.
2. What would AI mastery unlock for you? Be specific. "Better at work" is garbage. "Build an AI-powered business that generates $10k/month in passive income" is precise.
3. How much discomfort can you handle? This process will challenge everything you think you know. Comfort is the enemy of growth.

Write these answers down. Refer back when you get stuck or lose motivation.
