On LYT Notes Issue 28, Nick Milo shared the following:
“You know, like in Harry Potter.”
Silence. A polite smile.
“Harry Potter?”
Nothing.
It turns out, there are still people living in the US who have not heard of Harry Potter.

…but to not even know of it?
What kind of person is this?
This person interviewed President Nixon while Nixon was still president. He has met with several of the Presidents/Chairmen of China. He has advised government officials in several countries. He has written 25 books.
And you’ve never heard of him.
He hasn’t heard of Harry Potter—and—we haven’t heard of him.
What does that mean?
I don’t know exactly…but it makes me want to be a little better.
It makes me want to stop myself from watching Yet-Another-Marvel-Movie.
It makes me question things.
I’m still questioning them days later…

Am I consuming the content that will get me closer to the goals I want to achieve? Or I’m just watching yet another Netflix TV show mindlessly?
