They mean, to attempt things that seem very difficult to normies like you and me, and be successful at it, one needs to be insane.

I think Elon Musk is quite literally the living example of what high agency lifesytle would look like.

One could argue he likely knew way less than your day job rocket scientist or battery experts when he started out. But these people believe so as long something is not impossible by known physics it is doable, and hence there is a way to get it done. And then they do it.

That is you wake up everyday, and do whatever it take to get things done. You keep moving forward, you keep taking the next steps.

Of course you need lots of other aspects of human enterprise like tenacity, productivity etc for all this. But once you get the root value right, all things descend from there on.
