A non-sensational translation of Napoleon Hill’s Outwitting the Devil into operational language: drift, noise, imposed rhythm, borrowed thinking, and the guardrails that restore agency—especially post-AGI.

Drift & noise diagnostics
Hill wrote Outwitting the Devil as an “interview” for shock value. Underneath, the content is technical: a model of how people lose agency through cognitive capture, noise, and imposed rhythms.
This set translates that model into operational language you can use without mysticism or sensationalism. Think cognitive hygiene: detect drift, reduce noise, restore chosen rhythm.
