@thedankoe This is what I miss about the internet 5-10 years ago. Not the black box algorithm that keeps you endlessly scrolling through nonsense, but soulful writing based on pure experience backed up by science. Thank you Dan. Now to put it into practice.
Yo @elonmusk When are we going to get answers on weather manipulation, this is ridiculous and no one consented to blocking the sun for multiple days at a time. Thanks
@girdley Fantastic list of lessons, thanks for sharing your experience. And best of luck turning things around this year and putting these lessons into practice!
I just turned 50.
2024 was my most brutal year ever.
Sleepless nights, emotional hurt, ending of decades-long relationships, feeling betrayed, physical symptoms of stress — the whole entrepreneurship rollercoaster.
What I learned in 15 lessons (it was a lot):🧵
Property taxes should be outlawed.
And before someone says “aLL tAxEs sHouLd be ouTlaWed” yes, but property taxes in particular are the most unjust.
Every other tax is based on a share of a transaction. You always know upfront what this share will be.
Property taxes, on the other hand, are based on a “value” assessed by the same entity levying the tax. Your town or county literally “decides” what your property is worth (assessed value) and then demands a share of it, regardless of your ability to pay. Fail to pay and they take the property for themselves.
The model is actually worse than an unrealized gains tax; you aren’t just paying the tax on the gain, you are basically paying a percentage of whatever they decide the value is, every year in perpetuity.
That’s why it’s is the most unjust tax. That’s why it should be abolished.
President Trump released his plan to DISMANTLE the Deep State. Now that he's President-elect, this is the most important three minutes of video on the internet right now.

AI is rocks and metals turned to chips, with electrical currents running through them. And these rocks are now capable of feats of sentience and sapience.
