Our shared principles, the expanded Truth Seeker, and more Useful $hit
Dear Fellow Human,
Replies are back on for this newsletter, so you can now reply to this email anytime with feedback, questions, or suggestions.
I’m always interested in hearing what you want to see more of, what you’re thinking, where you’re stuck, what your goals are, what matters to you, your principles, habits, routines, everything.
We are currently on an every other day schedule. I’m starting to think that’ll be the best since daily may overwhelm us both.
I’m also looking to define who this newsletter is for. I think it’s for everybody, but not everybody is ready for it, so it has to be for someone first.
I was reading a book about worldviews as a way of thinking about various groups of people. I think that’s powerful, though I’ll have to think about it more.
I bet we share a few principles already if you’ve been reading this newsletter for any length of time… maybe something like this:
you value thinking for yourself
you take responsibility for your life
you distrust people in power (because you understand incentives)
you’ve taken the “red pill” → or are at the least aware of the Matrix
you for sure care about your health
you want to be successful while making the world a better place
you’ve opted out of the status quo for the most part
I could go on and on here, but I’d bet at least some of this aligns with your worldview.
I’ll keep doing my best to refine the content, news, and format of this newsletter to serve you. ❤️ Thanks for being here.
What to expect today:

📰 NEWS
🕵🏻♀️ The Truth-seeker section with my expanded notes on each
Let’s gooo…
📰 News 🚨
🇺🇸 🏛 Biden signs a bill to stop a government shutdown. They have a spending cap, then they hit it, then they raise it, then they pretend the process means anything. The government will never willingly give up its power. It will only lose it through mismanagement and/or revolution, and usually, it requires both. 🙈
🕵️ Win for privacy: Apple holds their proposed photo-scanning plan… for the time being. I personally commented on every Apple ad I saw on Twitter with my distaste for their new announcement. #doingmypart
🔎 Federal agencies seek customer data from Big Tech thousands of times a year. #notsurprised
💸 Switzerland approves the first cryptocurrency fund. My issue here is “crypto” is a misnomer—there’s only BItcoin. Everything else is unregistered securities pretending to be decentralized currencies. #keepitsimplebuybitcoin
🐭 Disney’s Magic Kingdom opened in Florida 50 years ago today. The price for admission was $3.50. Today it’s $109.
🏠 Housing has rebounded since 2020 and is reaching new all-time highs. Some rents in NY have increased by 70% since 2020. In Phoenix, the average rent for a one-bedroom has increased by 24.8%. National rent growth for one-bedrooms has risen 10.7% and 13.1% for two-bedrooms. 🤯 #inflation

🔦 How To: Drop a dollop of glow-in-the-dark paint on the tip of light switches so you know where those damn things are.
🧠 Mind-boggling: Australia has 10,000+ beaches... though you wouldn't want to visit any of them today.
🥑 Food: 🧂I can’t emphasize enough the importance of salt for making delicious food. Use as much salt as possible. Season until you over-season a few meals. That’s how you’ll learn. Here’s what we use at home: Wild Pink Salt.
🥩 Cooking: Cook steak like a boss → Preheat cast-iron pan for a few minutes → Pat your steak dry and rest on a rack → Season with a lot of salt → Add high-heat cooking oil to your pan (ghee, avocado) → Gently place your steak in the pan and let sit for 2 minutes → Flip and don’t touch for 2 more minutes → Move steak to a sheet pan with rack and place in oven to cook through if more than 1” thick-thin steaks should rest for 5 mins under some foil and then eaten. Finally, rest your steak for 5 minutes then eat. Have some finishing salt next to your plate and don’t be afraid to use a bit on every single bite!
🏕 Prepping: Simple urban prep: get a few gas cans and fill em up. Have enough water. More food the better—stock your freezer with meat. Get a multitool and a small manual camp stove with some small propane tanks.
🥶 Surviving: Winter survival: Don’t eat snow since that will lower core body temp. Stay hydrated.
🤪 LOL: Michigan offers a unicorn hunting license. #competentgovernment
🌞 Rad: The sun comprises 99.86% of the mass of the entire Solar System. Our puny human minds cannot fathom such a size. 🤯
💪 Health: The single most important thing you can do for your long-term health is to cook your own food.
⌨️ Productivity: Set recurring calendar events with notifications for rent, bills, checking up on old friends, and a weekly reminder to call your Mom and Dad. 😢
🧸 Interesting: Goosebumps were used by our mammalian ancestors to look bigger when threatened by predators. For certain predators, like a bear, do not run since that will just trigger its innate chase response. Instead, stand your ground, yell and scream, and make as much noise and look as dangerous as possible.
🤢 Derp: Once you die, the millions of bacteria in your gut will eat you from the inside. #becomeanorgandonar

🌏 Fix Your Minerals
I did the mineral test from Upgraded Formulas and it’s awesome.
I highly recommend doing the simple hair test yourself and in the meantime starting with magnesium and iodine, two of the most commonly deficient minerals for the average person.

💲 Bitcoin Corner 💲
“Bitcoin doesn’t care about nationality, gender, ethnicity, age, sexual preferences, or any other imagined victimization or privilege. To Bitcoin, we’re all equal. It is a voluntary system, and it knows no biases. Bitcoin is equality of opportunity in its purest form, and it doesn’t have any opinion on outcome whatsoever.”

䷼ Truth Seeker 🧘
🤐 More Big Tech censorship: Liberal journalists celebrate YouTube censorship of anti-vaccine content → Science is the process of rigorous analysis, experimentation, and debate with the explicit goal of ‘falsification, which is the only way to prove scientific truth. When you censor or otherwise intervene in this process, you stop science. This is why medical science has had hardly any advancements in over 50 years. My take is this: Future historians will look back at the 20th century as the most stagnant (and possibly destructive) period in human history due to groupthink, political mingling, and Scientism.
🇺🇸 The Freedom of Information Act was adopted 50 years ago to improve agencies’ transparency and is used by journalists, civil groups, researchers, and the public to obtain official documents related to government operations. Since 2020, there has been a sharp drop in responsiveness to information requests at the federal, state, and local levels.
🌞 Climate: Alex Epstein’s website Energy Talking Points is a good place to start if you want to dive into the truth of the climate narrative. His books are good too. Proceed at your own risk (of waking up)!
🦠 Virus mania: CDC written proof that they have no isolated and purified sample of the sars-cov-2 virus. More links. More links on letters from CDC about HPV virus, measles, MERs, Hepatitis viruis, POLIO, Ebola, and more. My note: I’m reading books now on all this as it’s new to me. Multiple books I’ve gotten through seem to point to the possibility that most of these highly publicized viruses have never been isolated. As I got caught diving into links via DuckDuckGo for over an hour, I’ve not been able to find anything one way or the other. I did find a lot of recent websites claiming to have “fact-checked” various isolation claims with a few links to studies that I skimmed. Unfortunately, I’m not versed enough to understand the verbiage in these articles. I will be spending more time reading up on this topic and hopefully be able to provide more facts on the matter for you to then decide on your own.
🍟 Big Food: The idea that fake meat is better in any way for you or the planet is a complete joke. What it is: a completely processed food with 15+ ingredients, made from monocropped plant foods, many of which are shipped halfway around the world, and then made by heavy machinery in factories. It’s unbelievable how Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Gov have so brainwashed the masses that this is actually a thing we have to talk about.
💊 Big Pharma breaking the law: Johnson & Johnson pays $2.2 billion penalties for their anti-psychotic drug, Risperdal. What they did: downplayed health risks associated with the drug and paid doctors to prescribe it.
🤑 Something Money: Monetary inflation is the result of increasing the money supply. The result is all of the currency already in existence becomes less valuable because there is now more of it. This is theft. Read the sentence again to think about why that’s the case. (The U.S. government and the elite running it are stealing from us all.)

💬 A Quote To Ponder: “The right to life is the source of all rights -- and the right to property is their only implementation. Without property rights, no other rights are possible. Since man has to sustain his life by his own effort, the man who has no right to the product of his effort has no means to sustain his life. The man who produces while others dispose of his product, is a slave.” -Ayn Rand

Helping Humanity
From the Charity Water Website: 785 million people in the world live without clean water.
That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. Or, twice the population of the United States. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep children out of school or take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that can make everyone sick.
The Bitcoin Impact Fund is currently raising funds for an entire Charity Water project. Estimates for completed water projects range between $10,000 and $25,000, so I’ve set a goal of $15,000. Once we reach that, I’ll work directly with CW to fund a project from start to finish. Can’t wait!
