🦾 Is Technology using you?
Better Human,
I love technology and the many conveniences it affords me each day.
That doesn’t mean I’m oblivious to the trade-offs, and technology always comes with trade-offs. To combat these trade-offs, I have to use technology so that the technology doesn’t start to use me.
The entire modern human environment is made possible by technology. Most people are unaware of technology's many trade-offs.
We see this with industrialized food, wireless signals, shoes, air conditioning, fasting and eating routines, child-rearing, disease management (mismanagement really), social media, and on and on.
It isn’t hard to see the correlation between technology and the vast sea of sick humans alive today.
What you want to do is opt-out so you can opt back in on your own terms. If you default to what everyone else is doing, what’s considered “normal,” then you’ll end up with the same shitty results as everyone else.
Some examples:
Buy a small % of foods from grocery stores and source your rest from local farms + online farm delivery.
Enjoy WIFI but turn your modem off at night so you are blanketed with EMF signals while you sleep.
Use your phone for short bursts of entertainment but use airplane mode and keep your devices off most of the time.
Use shoes where you have to and go barefoot where you can.
Use social media to connect with loved ones rather than lurk around strangers
Read up on vaccines for children and the history and make an educated decision for yourself rather than default to what “experts” and other Big pharma drug dealers shove down your throat.
Understand money, inflation, Bitcoin, the FED, the Petrodollar system, and the history surrounding each so you can come to an understanding for yourself on the best way to spend, invest, save, and plan for your future.
Before you accept any technology in your life, do your own independent research so you can come to your own conclusions. From there, you can pick the technologies that enhance your life and ignore those that don’t.

Proof of work - hard work - hard things
“The most outstanding gifts can be destroyed by idleness.”
—MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE
Without one side there is no other.
Your definition of freedom is defined by your lack of it. If you’ve never felt the lack of freedom, you would have no desire for freedom. It is necessary to experience every side because without both sides you have no sides, and from there you get the deep pit of nihilism.
Mastery comes when you find joy in hard work. When you find those challenges that fill you up with energy, you have a wellspring of forever fulfillment.

🚨 ONLY A FEW LEFT → Red Light 40% off Special Offer for READERS ONLY (more on the way if sold out)
I love red lights so much that I decided to source them myself. I found a model similar in power and style to a model I bought from one of the big red light brands for a fraction of the cost. The one in my office below was $599 + shipping.
When I found a similar, almost exact model, for a fraction of that, I knew I overpaid.
So I sourced them myself. Our first model is below.
To get going, I’m offering a 40% off coupon to newsletter subscribers. I have limited inventory on these, so I apologize if they sell out.
How to use red lights? Turn em on while you work. Put them in your sauna. They are great for waking up each morning. The benefits are many, so do some research if you’re new to red light therapy. I use mine every day.
Claim the offer here and use code 40Q9TQE2 at checkout for 40% off. 👇
