Compliance doesn't get you what you think it does

📰 News and Stuff 🚨
Humans are tribal creatures. They prioritize the group over the individual.
In modern society, you want to do the opposite since that is how we flourish as a species and move freedom and prosperity forward.
The Savior Complex. Billionaires get it. They think they are better/smarter/wiser and need to save everyone else.
Just setting it up.
This is really sad and disturbing.
“Historically, the most terrible things—war, genocide, and slavery—have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience.” —Howard Zinn
Bitcoin
To see in real-time the importance of Bitcoin during an invasion is the best advertisement for Bitcoin there ever was. Buy with Swan on auto-buy—it’s the simplest way to dollar cost average into Bitcoin.
The Power of The Free Market and Entrepreneurs
The State does not move humanity forward. In fact, it actively holds it back.
And that’s all the more incredible that entrepreneurs and the innovative spirit of humanity keeps pushing us forward even though the masses and the State do everything they can to keep things the same.
"The greatest remedy for anger is delay." —Seneca
I don’t like Facebook, but it will probably be a net positive for humanity over the long run. And to say I don’t like Zuckerberg would be ignorant since I don’t know him. This is a good interview that shows his humanity. And the part where Lex suggests what he would do if he was running Facebook, and the look on Mark’s face after he says that, is classic.

🍳 Cooking: Taste your food as you’re cooking. Taste ingredients before you cook them and then during and at the end. Adjust with more cooking, more seasoning, more acid.
🌞 Health → Movement is medicine. I think so much of our aches and pains result from our sedentary lifestyle. It’s always so tempting to sit in a chair or on a couch and work or watch shit, but we would have been moving for most of our waking hours. This is something I’m thinking about as I’ve been dealing with some morning hormone and fatigue issues lately.
⌨️ Productivity: Do One Thing at a time. Do the biggest ONE THING you can each day. Focus when you work and turn off all notifications.

🦾 A principle for life
Stop looking for authority to follow - trust yourself
“We really don’t want to understand ourselves, our impulses and reactions, the whole process of our thinking, the conscious as well as the unconscious; we would rather pursue a system that assures us of a result. But the pursuit of a system is invariably the outcome of our desire for security, for certainty, and the result is obviously not the understanding of oneself. When we follow a method, we must have authorities—the teacher, the guru, the savior, the Master—who will guarantee us what we desire; and surely that is not the way to self-knowledge.”
