Dear Melius Humano (Better Human),
What is the center of the Universe?
I’ll give you some time to think about it. You’ll find the answer at the bottom of this email.
Read on.
Your life in Seconds
The average human life 2,240,543,592 seconds (71 years). That's a little over 2 billion seconds.
By age five, you’ve lived 157,680,000 seconds outside your mother’s womb (yes, you are alive inside the womb back to the moment of your inception).
I’ve lived about 1,166,832,000 seconds.
If I’m really really lucky, I’ll get close to 2.2 billion seconds.
To waste seconds is to waste the most precious thing of all: life.
And it’s all choice. Choice of how you think, feel, react, act, and respond to the results you get. Choice. Choice. Choice.
You can change anything and everything in an instant. That’s the power of choice.
You already choose, the question to ask yourself is: “Why am I choosing this?”
Philosophy
Nietzsche is my favorite philosopher. His Overman and the Will to Power concepts echo what I've discovered myself over the last 20 years of my life.
The thing about Nietzsche is how hard he is to understand. His works were written in German, and even the best translations are hard to get through.
I prefer reading and listening to others interpret his ideas. Plus, reading his epic quotes. Here are a few:
“The secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to live dangerously!”
“Become who you are.”
“Nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion of resentment.”
“My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity.”
“We often contradict an opinion for no other reason than that we do not like the tone in which it is expressed.”
They muddy the water, to make it seem deep.” (Modern politics for ya)
“Most people are far too much occupied with themselves to be malicious.”
“Truth tends to reveal its highest wisdom in the guise of simplicity.”
“A strong and well-constituted man digests his experiences (deeds and misdeeds all included) just as he digests his meats, even when he has some tough morsels to swallow.”
“He who cannot obey himself will be commanded.”
“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.”
“Happiness is the feeling that power increases — that resistance is being overcome.”
“Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.”
“There are no facts, only interpretations.”
“In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.”
“A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all.”
“The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.”
Some stuff going on right now
Remember, these are highlights from the myriad of things happening right now. They likely don’t have any effect on your personal life. Anytime you read current affairs, remember how little it matters. It doesn’t matter at all.
Hmm. When are real estate prices going to reflect?
I don’t know how one can be a thinking adult and vote democrat. It used to be like, meh, let people vote in whatever way makes them feel good. Now, I’m just like… holy shit, I sure hope the pendulum swings back because if not, America will suffer tremendously.
See… Biden talked about doing this in June. Now they are using it as a bribe to get votes. Personally, I hope he doesn’t bec Roe v Wade was an abomination that never should have happened, but that’s not even the point. This is merely a highlight of the games politicians play to benefit themselves.
Lol.
Bunch of losers. Guy buys it bec he believes free speech in a public forum is important to America’s future. Woke corporations pull advertising as a protect to convery what exactly?

Areas of Study
Austrian economics - modern economics follow Keynesian principles of bullshit, and that’s why we have inflation and an ever-growing government that will eventually gobble up everything, then tip over and die.
Study Bitcoin. Start with the What is Money podcast episodes 1-9 with Michael Saylor. Then watch a bunch of his interviews.
You are. Where you go, there you are again, the center. Have you embraced your centralness to everything? Or do you look outside yourself for answers?
