I welcome back to the Personality Hacker podcast.

My name is Joel Mark Witt and I'm Antonio Dodge.

So I have a little bit of a paradox here.

In order to explain what I mean by that, I want you to do a thought exercise with me that

you've probably done before.

If you haven't, it's a really powerful thought exercise.

Just imagine you are the last person on earth.

There's no more people.

All the people have been vacated somehow, either they died or got taken off by aliens

or for whatever reason, you're the only human being on the entire planet.

Now, if you've done this thought exercise before, you start to realize that a lot of the

things that you value right now would be meaningless without other people around.

Money would immediately have no purpose or use for you.

It would be little green pieces of paper or digits on a computer screen.

Even like gold bars that are like hard metal, valuable metals would have no value and

what are you going to do with them?

I guess they're beautiful.

They might have a limited value of decoration for you, but you couldn't buy or sell using

them.

There's no inherent value to trade anything with it and everything else.

You could just walk into any sports car dealership and drive off with any sports car you

wanted.
