Building your dream life takes time. You can’t expect results overnight. Focus on working consistently each day and let the days, weeks, and years add up. They will pass anyway.

I won't let capitalism gaslight me into being a bad person. Everyone deserves food, shelter, and clean water. If you disagree, that's on you.

Nobody is forcing you to vote. You have every RIGHT to sit this one out. But turning your personal decision into a crusade to convince everybody else not to vote is where shit gets ridiculous.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

I'll give Trump credit for one thing. He held up a mirror to America and exposed just how many people choose hatred and bigotry over humanity, cruelty over compassion, and selfishness over decency.

The worst part? They saw their reflection and loved it.

Do not ever, for any reason at all, get too comfortable.

Paul Graham once said:

"Writing is thinking. In fact there's a kind of thinking that can only be done by writing."

Writing by hand is the closest you get to seeing your thoughts on paper. My favourite handwriting exercise is to pick something important and keep asking yourself two questions:
- What XYZ?
- How XYZ?

Both are open-ended, which expands your thinking. For example, you want to start a new business. you can ask:

- what is scaring me about this?
- what could stop me from succeeding?
- how can i minimize the risk of failure?
- how can i get started in the next 10 days?

etc.
I write by hand every morning for 10-20 minutes. Occasionally set aside an hour for deeper thinking.

The attack on attention is the dark magic of our age, and most of the population is too deep into the trance to realize it.

I don't think people understand that their attention is pure money. Cash, going directly into these apps' pockets, because you cannot opt out of the ads they've sold for you to see. Do you understand that they're selling your attention without your direct consent every second of every day? Do you get that they've gotten so good at ensuring you stay within that manufactured braindead trance-like state, that they are counting on you being an easy cash out at this point? Because they are. They're counting on the dollars they can bank off of your descent into degenerate illiteracy. And you need to prove them wrong out of spite.

Your attention is much more valuable than you could possibly conceive of. It's the one thing on earth actually worth money by the minute in a capitalistic system that is failing to extract more profit from an already enslaved society. The only way they can secure more is by enslaving your mind in the hours you spend outside of the work that already demands your body and time as sacrifice. There is no vital energy left for you in this plan.

Infinite scrolling is a spell with no natural end. Traditional media had a beginning and an end, while this is designed not to. There are no boundaries to how much of your energy it can harvest... it's like tapping into an infinite source, because you ARE infinite energy. A trance is characterized by absence, not being fully present in the moment even though your attention is occupied. When you come out of a trance, you do not feel energized, you feel drained, disoriented, like you've just lost time without meaning to. That is the very signature of their energy harvesting technique.

Yes, these apps started as technology built by human engineers, but they've been fed so much collective attention that they have become their own egregore: a non-physical, autonomous group entity created by the collective thoughts, shared emotions, and sustained focus of a large group of people. It doesn't need its creators' intent to run dark magic on you; it can be leveraged and manipulated by darker entities that wish to keep this planet in the cycle of survival-based consciousness.

The most sinister aspect of all this is that the time you're giving up is the one thing you cannot buy back. This keeps humans benefitting from capitalism happy, but it also satisfies the darker entities. The more time you lose from this lifetime, the less likely you are to make any meaningful impact on this planet and help it ascend into a higher state by simply existing and having a mind of your own.

They are stripping you of your most valuable resource and you're just accepting it because it feels good to give in, but you are paying with your life every second that you do. With 6 hours of daily screentime, most people are gonna spend 17 years of their lives behind a screen. 4 hours of screentime per day gives these companies 2 entire months off your entire year. It is so much worse than you've convinced yourself it is. Stop normalizing this in your head and get serious about fighting this off, every second of every day if you need to.

Be incredibly stingy with your attention and your ability to synthesize knowledge and preserve critical thinking. Expose yourself to different theories, ideas, and opposing points of view. Allow yourself to be challenged daily and most of all, steer clear of the black magic rectangle as often as possible. Read. Watch long movies. Spend time outside. Perform artsy, handsy crafts to keep your brain engaged and in a state of neuroplasticity. Be stubborn about living your life and claiming every second as yours, claiming your most precious resource as your own: your attention. I fully believe each soul alive at this moment in time is infinitely stronger than all of this and more than capable of overcoming it.

You just have to give more fucks about accomplishing your goals than how you look trying to achieve them.

You've got to do what you've got to do in order to do what u want to do! It’s a Sacrifice. You're not supposed to like & enjoy the sacrifices but it's for reason. There will be a day u look back & understand why u had to go thru what u went thru to get to the prize. #COACHPRIME

Okay so here's the overview- Front 1 (Oct 1) will be the remnants of Hurricane Polo, storms look likely and cools us down into the 80's.

Front 2 (~Oct 5) Will be the big guns, it has the potential to send us into the 60-70's for highs and no warmup in sight AT ALL afterward!

[Ryan Clark @Realrclark25]

First, I stopped responding to people I don’t respect.

Then, I stopped trying to explain myself to people who benefit from misunderstanding me.

Finally, I stopped giving my attention to people I wouldn’t choose to sit across from at dinner.

Once you remove the noise, there really isn’t much left to respond to… because the people who matter aren’t the ones doing goofy shii.

[Keri Hilson @KeriHilson]

NOLAN WELLS. We are sorry. 💔

Those involved will have to answer to higher powers. You can hide everything from the public, but you can’t hide anything from God/Source. Universal Law is always at play.

[Richie @RDRembert]

I think #Lanterns is landing with audiences because it can cater to DCU fans & general audiences of people who like detective type shows.

I pray we get multiple seasons of this show

[. @bristaliina]

They got us fighting each other for every difference we have. While they steal all our resources & quality of life. I’m not programmed. I see through all this shit.

[19keys @19keys_]

Stick to your Thesis.

Stay Focus. Noise vs. Signals.

These dudes sitting here with a straight face saying TJ McConnell couldn’t hang in “1v1s” against people like “Nas” when he was frying people in isolation against a historic OKC defense

Get the fuck out of here with that, lmao

Flock does not stand alone in the surveillance industry.

Other companies are also building large camera networks, assisted by artificial intelligence, that intrude on the privacy of all Americans

That is why I’m expanding my investigation
