🦾 Break free (you can be anything)
Dear Melius Humano (Better Human),
”Science makes progress funeral by funeral: the old are never converted by the new doctrines, they simply are replaced by a new generation.”
-Max Planck
Bitcoin is the greatest invention of your lifetime and will go down as important as the invention of the wheel.
It's going to usher in an entirely new way of coordinating human interaction. It's going to change everything.
Few are ready.
It might take 20 years for the world to realize this. Or 50. (Or maybe 5 when the US defaults on its debt.)
No one knows when, but everyone that studies it knows for sure: the time will come.
It might take $1,000,000 Bitcoin to finally wake the world up.
The True believers that get it early, just like the early adopters of the Internet, will benefit the world.
And they should.
The average person struggles with the idea of Bitcoin. Most of that is attributable to financial illiteracy. But that's not all.
Most people don't know what money is or is not). They don't understand what currency or fiat is and how that's different from money. And to make matters worse, they don't know anything about basic economics (or Austrian economics), anarchism, trade history, commerce, free markets, taxation, etc.
Most people think the state is given or has some natural right to control us. They think a tax return is a completely normal thing. They haven't dug into the dangers of collectivism, socialism, or communism. (communism killed more people than fascism, and it's not even close.)
To truly grok Bitcoin, you need a baseline understanding of this entire list and a healthy dose of history.
And even then, the bias is sometimes too hard to overcome.
If you suspect I'm 1% correct, then investing 1% of your inflating-away dollars into Bitcoin is mathematically imperative. And if you think I'm a little bit more correct than that, every extra dollar you can get should be moved into bitcoin.
This is Life Advice, not financial advice.
My personal setup is to buy daily and have it autotransferled to my self-custody wallet. That means no one control it or can get access to it.
It's the only asset in history you can fully own that no one can take from you. And wait until you understand its other features. 🤯

Break Free From Your Social Binds
Nothing is possible when you break free from the social chains that bind you.
First, you must realize the chains are there by understanding that you're afraid of taking social risks because your biology thinks it threatens your survival.
That was true for our ancestors, who lived as hunter-gatherers in small tribes.
Today, it's your most significant obstacle to overcome to build a fantastic life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti said, "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
Most people will never realize their greatest potential. A few will.
Most people will hover around average their entire lives. A few won't.
Most people get slower, weaker, fatter, and sicker each year. A few do the opposite.
Think about how many opportunities we have today to break free from biological conditioning.
I can send you an email, and my only risk is receiving a reply like this: 👇 🤷🏻
We get replies like this now and then.
It's gotten better over the years. Maybe people are so enamored by emails, texts, ads, social media, etc., that they barely care to muster the energy required to troll or send out hate.
Some still manage.
And so what?
It means nothing.
Your biology thinks it means something, which is why it stings even when it's the most nonsensical comment like this with no context or actual meaning.
Nowadays, you can do anything, be anything, and find others to support you.
That requires work. It requires some trial and error. It requires taking risks.
And that's exactly why it's worth it—because you have to earn it. (Duality/proof of work)
Our survival no longer relies on other people's opinions. It did in the past. It doesn't anymore.
But until you train your brain out of your default wiring, it will hold you down.
And that will only change once you take conscious control and take action to reinforce your new wiring.
Again, it takes work.
And again, that's why you should do it: because the rewards are SOOO worth it.
AI
Google Bard just came out.
I like GPT better. But at least we have some competition.
That’ll keep both improving. And the winner is you and I.
Free markets always benefit consumers.
That’s how they work.
Last week, I used GPT to write 4 ebooks. Launch 4 new ad campaigns, each with 1000 words of copy. Build 4 email funnels in Klaviyo to send to each of those campaigns.
My team used it to write 50 video scripts for my new content push.
They did a bunch of other things too. I’d have to ask them.
Now extrapolate that to humanity.
The amount of human progress that is going to explore in the next few years will be more impactful, faster, and more significant than the last 10, 20, or 50 before.
This is the Law of Accelerating Returns that Kurzweil has been talking about for a while now.
Noble Origins Launch

Colin, I enjoy your weekly e-mail. In fact, I believe it was you that recommended the book, "River Gods," by Wilbur Smith. Well, finished that series and getting to the end of the Courtney's era. Lots of output from Mr. Smith. If if wasn't you, then you should get reading "River Gods." History lesson and story in one book. Time permitting, of course.
My actual reason for writing is your support of Bitcoin. No judgements here, in fact I want a reason to invest. When so many are predicting its continued collapse, what are your reason(s) for optimism? Feel free to direct me to any information that supports your decision-making.
Thanks for writing "Better Human."
Regards,
Bob Mildenhall
