Everywhere I look, people seem to be having some version of the same crisis.

A crisis of identity.
A crisis of purpose.
A crisis of growing up and accepting responsibility.

We fantasize about retirement. About financial freedom. About quitting the job, escaping the obligations, getting away from it all.

But I think we often misunderstand what we’re actually searching for.

We don’t really want a life with nothing required of us.

We want a life that feels worth being responsible for.

We want purpose. We want to matter. We want to know who we are and what we’re capable of. We want our work, our families, our relationships and our limited time here to mean something.

Don’t spend 30 years waiting for retirement to finally become who you were supposed to be.

Don’t build a life you constantly fantasize about escaping.

Become more capable. Build something. Raise your children well. Love people. Do difficult things. Create. Teach. Serve. Take responsibility for something that matters to you.

You don’t have to change the world.

But you should change something.

Be true to yourself. Live purposefully in the world as it actually exists.

Don’t wait to escape your life.
Build a life you’re proud to have lived.

I made this song/video around that idea:

@burrytracker Oh my for, a rapidly growing company concentrating on the product and growth and perhaps hardware independence and staying first place is losing money in the early stages? Shocker.

En el año 1865, San Juan Bosco soñó que había un hombre alto, de color negro y con cuernos, que tenía en su mano "una linterna mágica" con la cual entretenía a los jóvenes

A través de esa "linterna mágica", los jóvenes podían ver cosas divertidas, partidos de fútbol que se habían perdido, pueblos lejanos, libros, familiares, amigos, vacaciones que habían tenido, dinero que les debían, y hasta "escenas pecaminosas", entre otras cosas

Don Bosco relató que este dispositivo los entretenía tanto que alejaba a estos jóvenes de los sacramentos, especialmente de la comunión

Este texto se encuentra bien documentado y disponible para el que quiera leerlo, en G. B. Lemoyne, Memorie Biografiche di San Giovanni Bosco, vol. VIII, p. 110.

@Puflito___ Don’t train yourself to fill every lull with phone use.

I made a music video about the moment your phone stopped needing to buzz to get your attention.

It has Pavlov, Napoleon, 100 browser tabs, old people and their love of Shorts, and eventually a monastery—because apparently that’s where this problem leads. Unfortunately, Brother Thomas has Shorts.

@Puflito___ Your focus need more focus. Put up guardrails on phone use.

La Rochefoucauld once made an interesting observation about humans: “Weak people cannot be sincere.” Those who feel weak put on an insincere performance to get through their days scratch-free. Only people who feel strong and capable will ever front-load their intentions with you

Self-loathing is rooted in the inordinate attachment to that perfect image of who you could be. Counterintuitively, it's a result of excessive pride.

This is AMAZING NEWS!!

The Department of Education will start tying federal student loan eligibility to graduate earning outcomes.

Under the rule:
> undergrad programs must out-earn high school graduates and
> graduate programs must out-earn undergraduate programs

This is going dismantle many BS predatory college programs.

A would be win for the future of American students!

Vote for these five judges… they are recommended by Republicans because they are more likely to uphold the law, not because they have an agenda.

Their opponents are just a radical rubber stamp for Democrats and that delegitimizes the court with rulings based on agendas, not law.

There’s a reason these races are nonpartisan. Judges shouldn’t take a side, other than the law.

When HIV was spreading, researchers initially assumed the men were lying or exaggerating about their sex habits, because it was so insane and no one had ever heard of it before. But it became too much of a pattern to be lies.

Gay men’s sex habits are demonic and shocking to the soul for a reason. This is possession, this isn’t love or even a normal amount of lust. This is a demon trying to kill you. The men who died of AIDS in the 80s were mostly men like this, hemophiliacs, Africans who practice sodomy, needle users, and occasionally the monogamous victim of a psychotic, sociopathic, suicidal, murderous gay man who fucks 20 men per weekend.

@SamaHoole Actually the story is 1 has a 105 average IQ and one has 80 average IQ.
One has a highly competent government where hygiene is a priority. The other has a cluster F where anything with poop goes.

@bot , just a never ending weekly cycle of:

[Linas Beliūnas @linasbeliunas]

Peter Thiel just said America’s deficit era is ending.

His argument: once interest rates stopped being zero, the West’s model of big welfare states, already-high taxes, and large deficits stopped being sustainable.

There are only three choices left.

1. Massively cut spending
3. Massively hike taxes
3. Keep kicking the can down the road

For close to 20 years, the answer has been #3. Ever since the 2008 crisis, we’ve just been borrowing more and more money.

The result is a fiscal trap that arithmetic, not ideology, is now closing.

Think exploding interest costs crowding out everything else. Trust funds running down. No slack left for the next shock. A country that used cheap money to delay every hard choice.

The numbers already show the can is getting heavier:

> FY2026 deficit already $1.4 trillion through 9 months and on track for $2T or more
> Total federal debt around $40T, roughly 123% of GDP
> Annual interest now over $1T

Then he added the part people usually skip:

“My intuition is we’re close to the point where that ends, and then you’re going to be pushed to a very non-centrist solution of either socialist levels of taxation or some really tough austerity measures.”

Zero rates made centrism look possible. Higher rates make it look like delay.

It seems America’s real fiscal problem may not be starting the spending.

It’s refusing to admit the cheap-money version of kicking the can has an expiration date.
