John McAfee's 500IQ Loyalty Test 🤯
A speaker recounts experiencing John McAfee's unconventional loyalty tests, including a nighttime confrontation and a test involving non-existent flashing lights. McAfee rewards the speaker for telling the truth rather than conforming to false perceptions, even when facing potential consequences.
Summary
The speaker describes a series of intense encounters with John McAfee designed as loyalty tests. The first test occurs at night when the speaker wakes to find McAfee standing over their bed in a threatening manner. The speaker, armed with a gun, considers using it but McAfee asks, 'Are you with me, son?' They then go upstairs where McAfee points out supposed flashing lights in the distance and asks if the speaker can see them. Despite feeling internal pressure to agree and knowing that disagreeing might result in being fired, the speaker chooses honesty and admits they cannot see any lights while still expressing belief in McAfee. This truthfulness is revealed to have been the correct response—the lights were fabricated as a test of the speaker's integrity. McAfee subsequently rewards the speaker with an envelope of cash and instructs them to give it to the person who falsely claimed to see the lights, then releases that person. McAfee praises the speaker for their honesty, suggesting the test was designed to identify those who would maintain integrity under pressure rather than simply comply with a leader's false assertions.
