🦾 We all want community
But our way to get it isolates us and makes us miserable...
Fellow human,
Community is what we want.
Money, power, fame, is what we think is the way to get it.
We are living in a mismatched environment than the one we evolved in, and it creates all kinds of problems for our species.
The only answer is a consciously designed way of life that embraces technology in a strategic way.
Most people default to letting technology run their lives. And so they give their power to Big Tech and bureaucrats.
Technology is neutral—it has the power to destroy, protect, heal, or poison.
It’s all about how you use it (and whether you let it use you or not).

📰 News 🚨
🇺🇸 🏛 There are multiple clips of senators and the president talking about the new $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill costing Zero. It’s incredible how detached from reality these people are. The government is already in a deficit. The government couldn’t balance its books if it wanted to. We are too far gone at this point. And still, somehow in their delusional worldview, they go on camera telling the American people that they can snap their fingers and print up another $3.50 trillion dollars out of nowhere like that with no repercussions.
All the while, inflation is soaring. Here are some examples. Oil is up 64% this year and natural gas prices have doubled in six months. Heating oil is up 68%. The list goes on.
These people are driving America and the world, off a cliff.
In a way, they don’t have a choice. The system won’t fix itself; it can only collapse, so I guess I understand why it’s happening.
The thing that boggles my mind is how they ignore real problems while perpetuating more lies, deceit, and willful ignorance. And most people gobble it up. #sad

👂Listening → In a world where most people suck at listening, this can be your superpower. Look them in the eyes, slightly tilt your head, and nod while listening slowly. Ask penetrating questions about what they just said. Avoid long monologues. Conversation is a skill.
💫 Four light years to reach the nearest star to Earth. That means how long light travels in a year, x4. An absurd distance we can't comprehend.
🥑 Food: I really really want you to start cooking your meals at home and buying from small farmers in your area. This is the foundation of youth for health and it’s better for the world and your family and your focus and mind and sleep and fitness and everything. Please please do it.
🍳 Cooking: Pat your proteins dry with paper towels before searing. And always always always preheat your pan!
🏕 Prepping: This is 350 pounds of shelf-stable calories. I will sleep much better at night when I triple this.
🌊 Surviving: How To Tread Water → In average conditions most people would be able to tread water for up to a maximum of two to three hours – however, if you're properly trained in the technique this can increase to over eight hours.

🦦 Animal Kingdom: Otters “hold hands” while sleeping so they don’t float away from each other.
😘 Love: Humans are social creatures. We need people. We are also extremely sensitive, evolved apes with fragile egos because we fear for our status in the group because that is a threat to our reproduction. Understanding your biology is paramount to taking ownership of it.
🍵 Easy-to-drink Superfoods by Organifi
Today we got a new sponsor for ya.
A company I’ve been following for a long time ever since I entered the nutrition space 8 years ago. They have a dedication to quality similar to mine, which is the only reason I’d ever consider taking them on as an ad partner. The founder, Drew, is also outspoken about all the nonsense going on today, which I love.
Right now I’m using the powdered coconut water powder as well as the gut restore powder in my morning water bottle each morning. Love it.

🏔 Sovereign I → A Better Human Land & Community Project
Our first project is tentatively called, “Sovereign I.”
It will be a fully sufficient community located outside Austin, Texas. (Site pending.)
We will create food security, power, water, and our own economy, with the explicit goal of creating a community of individuals living there full-time—and some part-time—in a better way than what city life promised but has failed to deliver.
The goal is to get back to nature, back to food, and most important of all, back to small communities.
The last 10,000 years of centralizing civilization have led to packing humans into cities like sardines while making them completely reliant on the system, Wall-E style. This has benefited those in power and the mega-corporations that feed the masses goods and services (and propaganda).
That reign is over, and what’s next is a return to a decentralized way of life, the Sovereign Individual Thesis playing out.
This is history playing out from centralization and back to decentralization.
The key technologies that will make things different this time are the Internet and Bitcoin.
It will be different than previous “turnings” or “resets” because we now have the Internet, which is a fully uncensorable, decentralized information and communication network, and Bitcoin, the world’s first uncensorable, fully decentralized money.
Both of these technologies are integral to reducing a return to centralization in the future, and I believe, will be the linchpin for the next epoch of humanity.
I will be sharing our project along the way, so stay tuned here for all the awesome updates, and please use your creative intellect to share ideas anytime they come to you via this link.
We need to decentralize human thought, and you are a node in that growing, and much-needed network. You have a brain, it is the most powerful creation in the known universe, so USE IT!

🤑 Something Money: We went to a small farm recently and I left with some high-quality pork. I added a $50 Bitcoin-only tip. I told her she isn’t allowed to sell it. That felt good.
💬 A Quote To Ponder: “What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.” – Kurt Vonnegut

Helping Humanity + Supporting The Show
This newsletter and 50% of all profits from The Better Human Co fund the Bitcoin Impact Fund. The initial vision was to partner with non-profits like Charity Water, though that may need to come later. (I still plan to fund at least one project with them.)
The focus now is on the local projects we are doing here in Texas. That’s where I can have the greatest impact. After that, the sky is the limit.
As of right now, the BIF will focus on:
Micro-loans to small farmers and decentralized practitioners
Homesteading grants for families to join the community (and future communities)
Decentralized Food Nodes (more on this coming soon)
The Fund will keep growing and I will share exactly where the funds go and what difference we make.
→ 50% of all subscriptions to this newsletter go directly to the fund. 🙏.
🙏 Would you mind sharing this with someone that will enjoy it? ❤️

My thought of the day:
This is a feedback submission that came through recently.
Suggest you have someone proofread these letters before posting. Typos and misspelled words undermine your credibility.
I agree and disagree here.
Also, I run this through two different correction apps, and somehow stuff still slips through. I think sometimes the Chrome integration isn’t working correctly.
Either way, I don’t believe credibility has anything to do with spelling. Spelling is about time—there simply isn’t enough time and manpower to produce so much content and to go back over it multiple times. That doesn’t mean I like seeing spelling errors. It’s just one of those weird things that seem to get through sometimes.
