🦾 The Truth Will Set You Free

Better Human: Helping you build a personal moat for the AI age.

Fellow human,

20 years in the game and what I realized is this: EVERYTHING COMES DOWN TO HOW YOU THINK.

Most people think small. Scared. Afraid. Closed/fixed mindset. Negative. Excuses. reasons why.

I can ask a person 5 questions and tell you their future based on their answers. That’s how powerful this is.

AI is now going to accelerate the gap between people who think closed and those who go out and conquer their minds.

And everyone in between will be on UBI. Legit.

Sometimes I feel the need to be painfully and brutally straightforward. This is one of those times.

I am this way in life, and yes, often people don’t like it. I think they don’t understand it because they are so used to bullshitters that someone who is 100% commited to signal comes off as jarring, so they can’t help but resist it.

But I refuse to feed people sugar-coated lies.

And that’s life: we attract the people we are supposed to.

One’s inability to face the truth or to hear someone’s opinion that may or may not be partially or fully rooted in truth is their own issue.

To withhold truth is jerk behavior. It’s a time-waster. It's beat-around-the-bush disrespect.

Life is too god damn short for it.

In the short time we have on this floating rock, I want as much data/truth as I can get my hands on because that’s going to give me the best chance at building the best life for myself and those around me.

That is no small matter.

In fact, it’s life or death.

Those who want sugar-coated half-truths can go elsewhere. There are plenty that cater to it.
