I see. I wouldn't say that strictly requires generations. One can do it in their lifetime.

Interesting perspective. There are outliers, but generally I agree. What would you consider true wealth here?

The author is pointing to the fact that if you want to get rich you have to make getting rich your #1 priority, at the expense of everything else. It relates to the concept of 100% commitment. That is how you maximize your chance of building outstanding wealth. What is being rich for you? How much do you want to make? There are many creative jobs out there that pay 6 or even 7 figures if you acquire rare and valuable skills. Perhaps you should invest some time and contemplate what it is that you want — how much money, and how much creative freedom. The Life Purpose Course is literally the best online product I ever came across.

8 years later and still asking?

Where's the glucose in the meal, however?

Hahahah. Sometimes I do this. Fuck washing the clothes.

Knowing you didn't drink (alongside other people whose work I admired) was part of what motivativated me to quit drinking a couple years ago. Thanks for setting the example, @Leo Gura. Not that I consumed much alcohol, but the social pressure was always there. Quitting drinking can be a good exercise of assertiveness and authenticity.

I haven't finished the interview yet but I can see you've really been following the protocol @Natasha Tori Maru. Looking like 20 while 40.

My survival strategy so far has been to avoid spending time with political stuff, especially short-term trends, and direct time & energy towards self-development, spirituality, and psychedelics. Not necessarily proud of it but I think it's an effective way to blind yourself from the drain of time & energy that politics can be in someone's life. Of course the long-term trends and patterns are part of developmental psychology, such as Spiral Dynamics and The 9 Stages of Ego Development, so one has to study them even if narrowly focusing on personal development.

Great interview (speaking of the original post, with Davino) — just finished watching it whole. Really inspiring. We are the average of the 5 people we most spend our time with. So by watching inspiring people we set outselves to get closer to our goals.

Good correction, thanks. As a matter of fact, I speculate this blog post even referred to a session with the substance in question. So “inconsistent/unreliable“ would be a better, single-word adjective. 🙂

@Lucasxp64 good analysis.

I agree with this. Traditional and conformist right-wingers are all secretely jerking off to Bolsonaro's pictures in their closet. Electing Lula now will only postpone the election of Flavio or another Bolsonaro clan member in the future. Corruption will continue for decades on. Brazil is the country of "jeitinho" and corruption. 🤣 If Flavio wins Trump controls Brazil indirectly, as the kid is eager to sit on elder's lap.

I cannot assess recent years, but over his career, IMO, Lula and his party wasted decades of development with overspending (esp. Dilma) and corruption, which culminated in the terrible image the left-wing now has in Brazil. When he took power in 2003, Brazil had a stabilized economy and rode a commodity boom. Had Lula done the right thing, Brazil could have developed in pace like South Korea did in the 1970s–90s.

Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro went to the runoff, taking place Sunday, 25 October 2026.

The left-wing in Brazil is shadowed by communism and socialism, and a lack of financial responsibility. The right-wing is a mix of deep stage blue (especially evangelicals/protestants, which tend to be more traditional than catholics nowadays) with orange (neoliberals, "faria limers") that demonize social policies and deny environmentalism in the name of "prosperity" and "meritocracy". Neoliberals unfortunately don't have the nuance to understand how much worse (red/blue) candidates like Flavio Bolsonaro are from options like Romeu Zema (blue/orange). Even educated people that attended top universities vote happily for the Bolsonaro family. The Bolsonaro family is arguably a stage red clan that took advantage of the messy political situation the country was left at since the irresponsible overspending and deep corruption from Lula's party, that stayed in power from 2002 until 2016, especially from 2010 on when Dilma Rousseff was elected. As @Recursoinominado said. The Bolsonaro family is obviously also deeply corrupt. At the end of the day, it will take decades for the country itself to change significantly. Systems are complex and have huge inertia. I left Brazil for Europe 8 years ago. One of the best decisions of my life.

Disclaimer: skeptic here. The key advice to invest in crypto is to not invest too much in crypto 😁 A share of VTSAX is a claim on thousands of businesses that generate earnings, pay dividends, and reinvest profits. Its long-run return comes from that underlying productivity. Bitcoin generates no cash flows; holding it produces nothing on its own. So, your return depends entirely on someone else paying more for the coin later. Scarcity and network adoption are valid arguments, but it remains a speculation on future demand rather than an investment in productive capacity — a fundamental difference. Btw, VTSAX is US-only. Why invest in crypto before investing in stocks in other continents or countries with diverse profiles?
