122,722 hours. Thatโs how much of your life youโre on track to waste over a life time if you habitually scroll 6 hours per day (gain nothing from scrolling btw). With just 8% of that time (around 10,000 hours). You can build, create, master anything you can imagine (you have 112,722 hours left to fuck around after you master 1 thing btw). Boredom is important because without it you'll chase what the algorithms have poisoned your mind with BBLS and Lambos. Birkins and Yachts. You have 122,722 hours left, allow yourself to be bored for 0.02% of them (1 full day) so that you can see what it is you TRULY want (Original Desire). Then life becomes a mission/movie. Dance, until the music stops.
Alex Karp is right. There is a deep nihilism among European elites to an extent European citizens would find shocking.
The shopkeeper, the farmer, and the car mechanic think there will be an England or a Poland in 2100; the university professor, journalist, and prime minister does not.
What if the school system isnโt actually a failure? What if it is doing exactly what it is truly designed to do? Produce a population of people obedient to the State.
employment never interested me when you consider:
Edward Teach (Blackbeard)
in his final battle, was outnumbered 3:1.
on board a ship where everyone wanted him dead,
he took FIVE shots,
and TWENTY slashes - many to the neck,
before he went down.
he lived a life of fighting and adventure
then embraced a glorious, heroic death.
imagine it -
sailing around beautiful waters w ur boys
singing sea shanties along the way
plundering merchant vessels for gold and treasure
docking at some random caribbean port
getting pissed up and fist fighting with the locals
sailing somewhere else in the morning
blasting other ships with MFKIN CANNON BALLS.
repeat process until you become a multibillionaire,
with 400 concubines,
and a fleet of ships the size of a country's navy.
all from looting rich noblemen of their wealth.
the OG entrepreneurs.
take what you can and give nothing back.
never cared about laws or "taxes" (fake and ghey)
retired/died after a lifetime of breath-taking stories and unimaginable riches.
no fluorescent lights.
no fat LGBTQ+ HR lady.
no $80k/year office job.
be a pirate.
amazon has a second affiliate program almost nobody knows exists, n it's the most valuable real estate on the internet
it doesn't pay u to send traffic to amazon
it lets u put ur face 6 inches from the buy button
on the product page itself
in front of someone whose card is already out...
it's not amazon associates. it's the amazon influencer program n 99% of "AI content gurus" have never opened it
associates makes u fight an algorithm to drag cold strangers TO amazon. the influencer program puts ur video ON the listing, shown to a shopper who is already in checkout mode. u're not chasing attention. u're the last thing she sees before she buys
a tiktok video fights 280,000 creators for one scroll. an amazon onsite video sits next to maybe 2 others on a page shown to a buyer w 90% purchase intent. the conversion gap isn't double. it's an order of magnitude, bc she's not browsing, she's BUYING
n the slots are EMPTY. every guru is screaming into the tiktok void while the listing videos for women's health, kitchen, n mobility products sit there w zero competition
move 1, get approved. the influencer program application checks for a real-looking social account w a modest following, which ur page already is after 30 days of posting. approval in a week or two
(yes the page can be fully AI. a generated character, face + voice + daily videos, abt $200/mo, n the 58 year old watching the review has no idea she's not a real woman in a real kitchen)
move 2, claim ur free storefront. amazon gives u an on-platform page. ur character ("things i actually use in my kitchen") gets her own amazon shop. every review lives there forever
move 3, film the onsite review. 60-90 seconds of the character using the product. no editing tricks. "i've used this peeler for 3 years, here's why." upload it straight onto the listing
move 4, carpet-bomb. pick 50 products in ur demographic's categories that have FEW or zero videos. put a character video on each. every one is a permanent salesperson on a page amazon sends millions of buyers to
move 5, own the new launches. fresh products have zero videos. be the first character on one that blows up n u own the video slot on a top-seller for its entire life
the entire onsite operation, the approval workaround, the storefront setup, the carpet-bomb list, is what we build w operators 1:1. link in bio
read this part slow bc it's the whole point: we are not selling u a course. we don't sell info at all. we coach u directly into an operation that's done $55M+. filling out the form costs u 2 minutes n nothing else, u're just finding out if we'll take u
we hand pick. spots are limited n they fill
pinterest gives u an 18 month asset. this puts a salesperson inside the cash register. everyone else is begging the algorithm for a cold click

On average, combining market work, education, childcare, housework, eldercare, all combined, married dads do about 30 minutes *more* of work per week than married moms.
But total work burden has steadily risen for both!
Going to leave you with this tonight:
The best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. Go outside, travel more, go to new cates, museums, events, take a new route home, go for hikes, see cities, countrysides, take your notebook, speak to people, ask questions, start businesses - go on more side quests. You can literally just do things, and the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you.
๐จ: Neuroscientists discovered something shocking: your brain doesn't care if your thoughts are true... it just believes whatever you think on repeat
You might have already realized that talk therapy almost never works & self-help stuff are mostly useless.
If you arrived at this place, you're ready to dive into the world of the body & nervous system. Real emotions & really feeling stuff. There's no other way out.
I find the Reich-Lowen-Pierrakos lineage to be highly, criminally underrated. First pic below is a good intro (getting denser from top to bottom) and the second pic is more experiential/actual stuff you can do. Theoria & praxis.
The main risk is going too fast or alone, which could actually cause real problems. I myself have always been not so cautious about these types of warnings, and went too fast, too deep & can honestly say, there's literally zero need to go too hard, too fast. It's just not smart. Don't do it. Take it easy. These are overpowered anyways, take your time & listen to your body.
Worst thing you could do would be to read/research these and not apply anything (or overindex on types/theory in general) - the whole point is to get out of your head & into the body! Terrifying, I know. Take it easy & focus on max enjoyment.
we've officially hit the point where AI UGC is cheaper AND better than real UGC
this video is 100% AI & i made this entire video for under 12 cents..
and no it is not seedance, veo, kling, sora or any other model you have seen
this system is optimized for mass scale organic across thousands of accounts
my V3 system has mastered every part of AI video:
> the visuals are now more realistic than ever (notice how the natural physics actually look right now)z
> it's extremely cheap. literally much cheaper than launching a real UGC program for mass scale organic
> consistent high quality voice throughout the entire video
> infinite length videos that stay cost effective no matter how long they run
this is going to change everything..
some human things Iโm tracking
> religious schools, retreats, pilgrimages, and faith-based media rising as people search for moral certainty
> โhuman-onlyโ spaces: restaurants, schools, clubs, apps, and retreats that ban synthetic media, recording, phones etc
> pet daycares, dog hotels, pet insurance, and premium pet food begging to skyrocket as loneliness increases and people defer to furry friends
> post-career identity markets: people living longer and needing new titles, tribes, rituals, status games, and reasons to wake up after professional relevance fades
> private membersโ clubs solidify as paid social graphs for adults who lost community to remote work
> dating apps fragmenting into belief-based and lifestyle-based matchmaking since infinite choice has become exhausting
> family formation will become a premium service category: matchmaking, fertility, childcare, coaching, home design etc
> eldercare will start shifting to more at-home treatments due to ai (over time itโll be cheaper than care homes too)
> analog cameras, vinyl, printed books, notebooks, โdumbphones,โand mechanical watches grow as anti-synthetic status objects
> handmade goods becoming trust objects because machine abundance makes human effort valuable again
> live events becoming more valuable as recorded media becomes forgettable
> glp-1s are just the first mass consumer drug for editing desire, more to come.
> fertility tech booming because career timelines and biological timelines are now in open conflict
> oral exams, apprenticeships, portfolios, and live demonstrations returning because written work is becoming cheap to fake
> digital detox products growing
> air quality, water filtration, food sourcing, and sleep environments becoming mainstream status markers
> luxury shifting from owning more things to accessing peace, beauty, privacy, time, and high-trust rooms
> the biggest consumer opportunities coming from psychological scarcity: belonging, certainty, attention, embodiment, trust, and continuity
Random conversation at a gym in LA changed how I think about ecom niches.
Guy next to me between sets mentioned he sells a prostate supplement. Doing $2.1M/month.
I almost laughed. Prostate supplements. Not exactly the sexiest product.
Then he showed me his margins. 41% net. Over $860K/month in actual profit from one product that nobody in his social circle knows about.
He said: "Everyone wants to sell the cool product. Pre-workout. Collagen. Greens powder. Those categories have 500 brands fighting over the same 25-year-old gym bro. Prostate health? My customer is a 55-year-old man with money who doesn't price shop. He sees an ad that speaks to his exact problem, he buys, and he reorders every 3 months like clockwork."
His US subscription retention rate: 71% at 6 months. Average customer lifetime value: $430.
He's now expanding into Germany and Japan โ two countries with rapidly aging populations and almost zero competition in the prostate supplement space on Meta. But with a different model for Europe. No subscriptions. High-AOV bundles (3-month and 6-month supply packs), post-purchase upsells, and email reorder flows timed to when the product runs out. He said the European margin model is different but the profit per customer ends up similar because the upfront AOV is so much higher when you force bundles instead of single units with a subscription checkbox.
He found both markets by scanning competitor activity on GetHookd โ searched prostate supplements in Germany and Japan and saw almost zero brands running. That empty search result was all the validation he needed.
The lesson: the "boring" health niches that nobody wants to talk about on Twitter โ prostate, menopause, blood pressure, joint pain, vision โ are where the real money is. High AOVs, loyal customers, zero competition from the influencer brands.
Stop chasing the trendy supplement categories. The unsexy niches print harder and longer.
How to get ahead of 99% of people in society:
- Work in a flow state with no phone
- Get good at pattern recognition
- Focus on making more money, not saving money
- Use Claude bots to analyse everything you do
- Be obsessed instead of passionate
- Write online every damn day
Your supposed competition wonโt do any of this.
Crazy to think:
The ceo of the most innovative company in the world is using terminology
Started from a 20 year who hits his face with hammer every day
Attention is everything today
