The “Work Once, Get Paid for Life" Earning Strategy of the Rich
David O.
When a decision to act must be made instantly, it is made through a system of emotional bookmarks. The emotional system reacts to circumstances, finds bookmarks that flag similar experiences in your past and your response to them, and allows you to recall the feelings, good or bad, of the outcomes of your actions. Those gut feelings give you an instant reading on how to behave.

For example, everyone knew they inherited 50 percent of their genes from their mother, and the other half from their father, right? Well, no. HLI’s initial findings indicated that most humans introduced at least 50,000 entirely fresh and unknown rungs into their personal DNA, about 8,500 of which had never been seen in any other individual thus far sequenced. Bloom called this the Wheel of Fortune, because the new genes were utterly new and random mutations. True, they constituted only a small percentage of your total DNA—nevertheless, the shift could introduce entirely new proteins. Maybe they would throw a wrench in your genes, or maybe they would make you smarter or stronger. There was no way of knowing. That was how the evolutionary lottery worked; that was why species evolved slowly, and why each of us is as different as a newly fallen snowflake.
