8 Secrets To A Fairly Fulfilled Life
There will always be too much to do ā and this realisation is liberating. Today more than ever, thereās just no reason to assume any fit between the demands on your time ā all the things you would like to do, or feel you ought to do ā and the amount of time available. Thanks to capitalism, technology and human ambition, these demands keep increasing, while your capacities remain largely fixed. It follows that the attempt to āget on top of everythingā is doomed. (Indeed, itās worse than that ā the more tasks you get done, the more youāll generate.)
The upside is that you neednāt berate yourself for failing to do it all, since doing it all is structurally impossible. The only viable solution is to make a shift: from a life spent trying not to neglect anything, to one spent proactively and consciously choosing what to neglect, in favour of what matters most.
Will it make you bigger or take away?
Minor discomfort = super power
The future will never provide the reassurance you seek from it
The spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti said his secret was simple: āI donāt mind what happens.ā That neednāt mean not trying to make life better, for yourself or others. It just means not living each day anxiously braced to see if things work out as you hoped.
The Culture Wars and Bitcoin
I stopped caring, writing, and thinking about the culture war nonsense.
I will change nothing and donāt care to change any of it. Society/humanity needs to figure out its shit.
This is just another cycle.
Students of history understand that.
Students of human psychology get it.
If you think about the root of every social problem today, it boils down to one core problem/solution:
Leave people alone.
If people STFU and left others alone (including kids), then 99% of our made-up problems would disappear. Maybe weād have the energy and resources to solve other problems like health, food, soil, etc.
The State is nothing more than legalized theft, the ultimate crime syndicate, guided as āmoral,ā ārighteous,ā or ājust.ā
History students know governments have caused more death and destruction than anything else. Nothing even comes close.
The anarchist, capitalist, free market, and libertarian perspectives are based on LEAVING PEOPLE ALONE. Let people live how they want, as long as it doesnāt violate your right to do the same.
Thatās it.
Instead, modern human society is 10,000 years of one group enslaving the other group and the back and forth of that dynamic.
This is why Bitcoin will change everythingā it is the first time billions of humans can secure inviolable property rights. Thereās never been a way to do this in history because the physical realm is always beholden to those who can project power through violence.
You canāt move land. You canāt cheaply or easily move bars of gold or silver (though I love silver). You canāt quickly move your fiat dollars.
Yet you can start with Bitcoin. You can walk across any border, go anywhere in the world with only 12 words in your head, and bring billions with you.
This is unprecedented in history.
Most people think of Bitcoin as a way to āmake money.ā Thatās not the thing.
The thing is freedom. Sovereignty.
Most Americans donāt consider optimizing for either because theyāve only lived in the freest nation in human history. The problem is that America becomes less free with each passing day.
All governments do. Itās the nature of giving some power to one group at the expense of others. They will always slide into tyranny.
"Democracy is the road to socialism and socialism ultimately leads to communism" - Karl Max.
"Democracy is indispensable to socialism." - Vladimir Lenin
Every currency in history has collapsed under the dominance of the issuing class or state.
The dollar has lost 99% of its value, and so has the pound.
The dollar will go the same way, and when it does, yikes. Hopefully, it will be a peaceful, slow, and gradual transition.
It may not be.
You should prepare your family either way.
The simplest and most robust way to prepare for whatever is coming is to buy Bitcoin. I use Casa to self-custody my bitcoin and have it protected by a multi-sig setup (which means I need three keys to sign, making it nearly impossible for hackers to get it).

š§ Simplicity and Focus: Pareto's principle - The 80/20 Law
80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.
80% of your happiness comes from 20% of your relationships.
80% of your fulfillment comes from 20% of your time spent.
So on and so forth.
How do you identify the 20% so you can do more of that?
Simplify.
Focus.
Adopt less is more.
Iāve been trying this at work latelyādoing less.
Itās a hard habit to change. You must quiet those āyou should be workingā voices inside your head and gut.
It often comes with feelings of worthlessness, falling behind, guilt, shame, and anxiety.
Thatās the thing about self-made peopleāonce they generate success from acting, thinking, and being a certain way, itās tough to turn it off.
Whatās the point of having resources if you canāt be in the moment and enjoy the freedom they grant you?
We all think it wonāt happen to us. I sure do. I brush it off with, āIāll figure it outā and āIām different.ā
Iām sure Iām at least half wrong.
One way Iām planning for this is to make it my goal to work 4 hours a day.
I think Iāll want to do that until the end of my life.
Maybe that will change to writing a book, advising, helping others, or whatever.
Get in, get out. Short, intensely focused, and sweet.
Then the rest of the day is FREEDOM.
š§¬ Peptides Update #1: Blood
I got my blood drawn the other day.
Was fasted.
She couldnāt find the vein on the first poke. š¤¢
I nearly passed out. Immediately woozy, sweaty.
Itās always something. Thatās life.
Pain is on the other side of not-in-pain on the pain/not pain coin. Thatās duality. They define each other.
Whatās hard for us is that we need something before we forget. We have short attention spans and short memories. We forget all those hard times. We forget how painful it felt to wake up feeling like crap for a week on end, and so we make those poor lifestyle choices that lead us again and again.
The key is to be happy AF with the lack of things right in front of us, especially those times when things seem āboringā or ānormal.ā How amazing were those times? The experienced figure it out, usually later.
When you donāt have pain, discomfort, or stress, even if youāre bored, BE AS GRATEFUL AF because it could always be worse.
It could always be worseāa mantra for the human condition.
š„© Yes2Meat Newsletter Launching Next Friday
Iām working on a new Yes2Meat newsletter with a few others in the alternative health space. (Brian from Food Lies, The Meat Mafia, and more.) The idea is to revive the Yes2Meat hashtag that was a thing a couple of years ago.
The animal-based community has a bunch of individuals building personal brands but no non-human brand or collective movement-based brand. So weāre going to build it.
Topics will include:
Meat
Carnivore diet
Regenerative agriculture
Biohacking
And just about everything related to alternative health ā whatever is the anthesis of Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Ag.
It will start as a bimonthly newsletter and most likely evolve into a weekly one.
You can join the list here. Get the first edition in your inbox this Friday.
