  1. Working on the food brand, it's something I've done on and off in the past couple years as it's good for social circle long term I believe. Thinking of getting back into it more as AI is helping me think through my content system with more clarity and the automated content pipeline is starting to become easier than ever to manage.

    Just edited together a pizza happy hour reel and boom that's 3 pieces of content. One youtube short, one Tiktok and one IG reel.

    Its also called caring about the society you live in

    Understanding the trends and being at the mercy of them emotionally are two different things. As a man looking to establish himself in life, gossip is the worst thing you can take in. It's basically like the lion caring about the venting of the sheep.

    Learn to generate value until you have a surplus and then share it with great people you want to and you'll realize the gossip of the crowd doesn't really affect you much. To let it rob you of your power is a tragedy.

    @Natasha Tori Maru The mainstream has already declared men as trash, stupid, undeveloped and predatory there is no concealing the many faults of men it comes up in every discussion on all platforms.

    However, the same is not true for women we pretend as if women are bot at fault for anything, we pretend as if women have no agency despite never having as much choice in their relationships as they do now, supposedly possess this incredible intuition but all of that goes of the window when they inevitably end up with the wrong men, emotionally intelligent and great communicators but expect men to be mind readers and don't see the emotional labor it takes to deal with women.

    Worrying about what the mainstream thinks about men and getting down over it is what's called failing the shit test. 


  4. We are truly at a fascinating point in our species evolution. It's a mix of late stage capitalism and hyper progress imo. 

    @Spiral  You're definitely unto something that our societies are moving so fast that our parent's advice is becoming ineffective. 

    Fundamentally it comes down to adaptation. Our species has always been about which individuals adopt the best and those who fail to usually go extinct. Our society if anything is more soft and less punishing in that those that can't adapt and compete just don't get to participate in the marketplace(of dating and soon the job market entirely) and have to use the derivatives(porn, AI girlfriends and soon UBI for the job market.)

    I think the dating market is in a dream like situation to me. For someone who's willing to understand the system and work hard to rise on top of it your options become unlimited.

    I'm almost 24, but I don't think I need help with pulling girls. I am more interested in the leadership, frame control, etc. 

    What does this even mean? Can you elaborate on what you're looking to experience there and get out of it?

    I've never done a bootcamp personally but I've assisted a couple dating coaches with them. It is life changing if you don't have access to anyone like that in your regular life. $1000 for self-development is not really expensive. Just be clear what you want out of it though.

    When we diagnose people from a distance, we are only evaluating them on what we see of them, not the skeletons in their closet. We are evaluating their public work.

    Could Daniel Schmachtenberger be a secret serial killer?

    Could Peter Ralston be a secret cannibal?

    Could the Buddha have been a secret pedophile?

    YES!

    Spiral Dynamics will never capture that.

    That's the role of psychological profiling. It's not perfect but it's the closest to mind reading we got so far. You don't particularly care for the law, have been shown to enjoy activities related to extreme dopamine cases, speak in sadistic ways online around wanting to dominate your enemies, admire foreign countries where the rule of law is weaker and have multiple rape accusations? It's not a verdict but not looking good for our buddy the Trumpster. 

     


  7. I have ADHD and only took meds for like a week then never again just found it wired me without boosts in productivity.

    I get distracted easily so I do stuff like Pomodoro method(work in 20 min increments then take a break) and I find that works. 

    It's not an excuse against success, just gotta manage your workflow and productivity like anyone else. Anything I really don't want to do becomes a real pain though whereas I find my friends have an easier time just pushing through it just cuz its gotta get done. Helped me figure out more creative ideas in business though.

    Do you think Zuck studied all these CEOs before starting facebook, or, he essentially just did it? Most successful people just do it, they don't stay in a constant state of learning from the best to start, first they actually just get successful, then they learn from others to continue and grow their success, usually at a much slower rate though.

    Essentially, just go out and keep trying and learning from your experience, and wait for luck(while still trying).

    Gates, Bezos, Musk, Buffet, Jobs, Rockefeller, Carnegie,.... you think they hired coaches before they got successful, went to coaching seminars? Read self-help books, Or they just went for it HARD?

    Redundant post, of course action taking is important. All of these people had mentors and consultants on their journey though. Zuckerberg had Sean Parker within months of starting the initial project. Bill gates's mother was on the board of United Way with the CEO of IBM.

    You learn the basics from Youtube, take action and refine as it goes. The Barry comes at it from the bitter socialist paradigm IMO. He makes some good points but ultimately he has an infectious victim mindset IMO. 


  9. This guy makes some good points but is mainly delusional and coping imo. Success is luck is a crazy trope. I run a business community and I've talked to dozens of people that are in business or looking to get into it. A lot of people looking to get into it tell me wow that's sick I wanna start my business! And then 12 months later have done about 2 hours of work towards it.

    He does point out some good points like the overall lowering of upward mobility and in general macroeconomics fucks all of us over but saying that successful people have nothing to share and teach is insane. You can look at Mark Zuckerberg and him putting all his time into starting a competitor to myspace and say he got lucky. Sure but there are still plenty of things to learn about product market fit, innovation on competition, finding investors, company structure, etc. As a matter of fact I'm learning from zuckerberg to create my own app so I mean I'm not there yet but I've been inspired and have learned tons already.

    He's right that a lot of these long form content is specifically made to be long and consume your attention instead of being as concise as possible but I think he's doing a bit of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. 

     


  10. Iran has 100x more tunnels than Gaza due to a big chunk of their country especially near the coastline near the strait of hormuz. Even if you launched 100 nuclear warheads the next week still some dudes that could pop out and drone your oil tankers. 

    My best guess is they just completely fuck the middle east and kill tens of millions of people in the process, totally plan to put earth in WW3 and hope to create a Pan America oil empire with Canadian, American and venezuelan oil and somehow the Trumps will end up trillionaires from this. But it's confusing to me what Saudi Arabia gets out of this perhaps they overestimated the ability of the US military to neutralize Iran military capabilities but that seems short sighted. 

     


  11. I mean anywhere with high tourist traffic should work. It's only one clever way to monetize and market your craft, I'll be sharing others in the future. 

    I like this one in particular because if you can make it in 2026 being a fucking poet of all things then what are you guys's excuses about? Let's get that bag 

    If you guys would like to follow my own journey to financial independence, I'll be documenting it in the journal section here:

     


  12. Some people are thinking it's all a big bluff for market manipulation. I think it's a bit foolish to underestimate the depths of human evil and depravity. Hopefully they're right but probably tomorrow we will be further into WW3 than we were today.

    It was good knowing yall.
    Hope in another dream I will join a consciousness fenatic group like actualized.org and read trip reports.
    🫡

    Somehow I believe this will lead to human transcendence and world peace but it's gonna be tough bullet to bite until then.

  13. I think it will be used because they are batshit crazy but I don't see a strategic use case for it. Unless the plan is to use nuke for a strategically not key move in Iran -> alienate the EU and most of the world -> leave NATO and ally with Russia and China in a uno reverse card  move to become an axis authoritarian block -> crash the global economy -> use AI to dominate the population.

    The U.S. likely only has two weeks of interceptors left and China is preparing to take Taiwan. Israel is about down to needing to use nukes.

    I do worry as well that nuclear weapons will be used soon. They will probably use nuclear warheads as bunker busters first and minimize it then who knows. 

    This timeline is getting crazy. If Taiwan gets invaded, $6 a gallon gas prices will look like a good scenario. 

    Such a stupid religious war, both sides are nuts. Netanyahu seems himself as a messiah and the IRGC as martyrs. Can we just make this reality pleasant to live in or is that too nuts of an idea?

     


  15. Saw this really cool reel today of this poet charging $55 for custom poems on the NYC sidewalk. It's bittersweet because she ends writing one for a struggling musician but it seems like it gave her hope and inspiration so thought it was worth sharing.

    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU4o5-9DVJf/

    For the right person something like this is a decent business model to start off. If she sells even one every 3 hours you get paid more than minimum wage($55 divided by 3 is $18.30 and minimum wage in NYC is $17/h) and if you get to the point of selling one per hour you sit down 6 hours Saturday/Sunday that's $2,640$ USD a month. Not too bad for a side hustle on top of a job or I mean there would be ways to do it full time if you really wanted to.

    I was a freelance photographer for a while and thought about doing the same for tourists near the CN tower in Toronto and just having a poster that says $30 for professional pictures type of thing. 

    There are a lot of options to monetize your passions, just gotta throw stuff at the wall until you find a profitable avenue that makes sense for your desired lifestyle.
