🦾 Humanity's greatest mistake

Better Humans,
The great delusion of our species is our inability to understand choice.
Choice is the ultimate power. Choice is everything.
We all possess it. We all use it daily.
Few understand it.
And fewer use it to master their life.
You think someone did something to you, so you respond a certain way.
You feel reighetous and justified, but all you do is place your agency on someone else.
Since they did X, I must do Y.
But the actual equation is this: “X” represents external events, and “Y” is my choice of how I respond to them.
This is a mathemtical Truth withn no exceptions.
Choice is the answer to the ultimate equation. And only you control that choice.
Every choice you make in response to your environment produces a quantum ripple that then creates other manifestations you will respond to.
When you track everything back to it’s origin, it always and forever comes back to you and only you.
Some call accepting this turth extreme ownership.
The Stoics identified this Truth early on. (There's a reason Stoic thought has had a resurgence in recent years—this universal Truth.)
I call it Max Truth—it’s the Maxium 100% truth of your human existence.
Find your path to this epiphany in whatever way you can. Until you do, you will be a prisoner of your mind at the hands of the chaotic and uncaring external environment. Yikes.
Here's how you implement it in your life:
Never ever, ever put your CHOICES in someone else's hands. To give someone power over you is a choice, and one wrought with risk that usually leads to bad outcomes.
Take COMPLETE ACCEPTANCE and ABSOLUTE OWNERSHIP of every choice from now until the end of your life. No one is responsible for what you do. You can't change the past, so remember that every thogut about it—or the future—is a choice. If your choices make your life worse, isn’t that really f$*King stupid when you could choose something else?
Direct your every fiber of being into the Now. Buddha figured out that suffering was as result of living in the past or future. His anecdote was supreme Nowness. The Now solves most things, but it's hard to maintain, and few will ever master it. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't aspire to mastering it. We should do everything we can to be in the Now. Choice and The Now are intertwined because the more Now you achieve, the better choices you make as you remove yourself from the past and future.
There is no such thing as cosmic justice. Stop letting your human emotions convince you that some things are fair or unfair. There is only chaos and other organisms fighting entropy in whatever way they can to get what they want. When you lie to yourself that you should act or feel or think a certain way because it’s “moral,” “right,” “fair,” “equitable,” or some other nonsense buzzword, then you give up your agency of choice. And that is dangerous for your future and the future of the society you live in.
The choice is a skill. Like any skill, you improve by doing, failing, learning, and adapting. Like any skill, mastery doesn’t exist, but still, you should strive for it every day of your life.
It boils down to this: Every choice you make brings you closer or further away from your goals.
If your goals are a calm life, consider that as you give your agency to other people and let their psychology own you.
If your goal is to become a millionaire, think about how your choices will get you closer or further away as you confront the countless obstacles that will get in your way.
🌎 World 🚨
Censorship is evil. Unfortunately for the losers that use it, it backfires.
I've been saying this for a while now.
Look how fast Andrew Tate got on Tucker Carlson…. a week after being wiped from social media.
Look how many YouTube clips of Tate videos are popping up and how many big influencers are talking about it.
Humans judge. It's how we survive. It's hardwired into our biology.
But in a modern environment, controlling your biology is how you succeed.
Whether politics, money, investing, health, or relationships, you will make better decisions and live better lives when you can delay gratification and step outside your perceptual bias.
Our ancestors didn't have to offer so many judgments. They only had to worry about their tribe. Today, the average person wastes so much time caring about people that don't care about them or their opinions. It's purely wasted energy.
Finally, people will never totally agree with you and vice versa. If you ever find a person that is exactly how you want them to be, watch out because you're probably dealing with a psychopath.
I wonder if it’s racist to point this out? Maybe thier cultruval upbringing ad years of genetic adaptaion has made this group of humans good at these kinds of jobs. 🤔
When verything is racist, nothing is. The word means nothing now thanks to those that pretend to care about it.
Diversity: another word that means only what is popular at the moment.
Pure clowns running around in positions of power today. But I rejoice because it’s just a sign they are losing relevance.
Yea. Nothing but unchecked power and delusion hubris.
Smart.
Because somehow, in this time in human history, it has become acceptable to rely on the state to protect you even though, since the dawn of time, they have not done that well on top of becoming the biggest perpetrator, one must protect oneself from.

Read more about the benefits of CBD below:
CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is one of the active ingredients found in cannabis and hemp. CBD oil is made from the hemp plant. Hemp is not the same as marijuana, although both plants are members of the cannabis family. Hemp contains minimal THC (the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana).
What are the benefits of CBD oil?
CBD has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and pain-relieving properties. CBD oil is becoming more popular as a natural remedy for various conditions, including anxiety, chronic pain, depression, and more. Here are a few benefits of CBD oil:
1) Anti-inflammatory: CBD oil is an effective anti-inflammatory agent. It has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, improving overall health.
2) Pain relief: CBD oil is effective at relieving pain symptoms. It works by interacting with receptors in the brain and body to decrease pain intensity and improve the overall quality of life.
3) Anti-anxiety: CBD oil has also reduced anxiety symptoms. It works by interfering with neurotransmitters in the brain that can lead to feelings of anxiety.
4) Improved mood: CBD oil has been shown to improve mood and relieve symptoms of depression. It does this by interacting with serotonin receptors in the brain.
