do math. learn to code. lift weights. read a lot. build things. fail fast and iterate faster. show up daily even when it feels pointless. write online, think clearly, question everything. automate boring stuff, master fundamentals, and keep improving your taste. delete distractions, protect your focus, stay curious. keep your circle sharp and your goals louder. fight procrastination every morning. survive the lonely days without losing direction. turn pain into progress, boredom into discipline, and fear into action. sleep well, eat clean, touch grass, and train your mind harder than your body. choose long-term games over dopamine hits. dream bigger, move quieter, and keep stacking tiny wins. stay broke, stay hungry, stay obsessed and bet on yourself with unreasonable consistency.
Let's be clear.
Under Joe Biden, the federal government was weaponized against his political opponents.
Under President Trump, those who weaponized the federal government are being held accountable.
That is a HUGE difference.
As a centrist, I think the reason Charlie Kirk’s killing has caused a wave of people abandoning the left is not because those people realized that the left is worse than the right, but because they realized there’s no difference between tribes at all.
That might seem strange, until you understand that the reason so many were part of the left in the first place is because of the illusion of moral superiority. It was attachment to the belief that they were part of the tribe of superior empathy, humanity, and morality.
Seeing how many people in their own tribe dehumanized a father and husband (and I keep saying this, which is in fact an apology in itself because he was a damn human and that’s enough) shattered that illusion of moral superiority and proved quite the opposite.
Waking up to that can feel very scary. I know that feeling as a former lifelong leftie, but once you realize that your tribal brain has been lying to you this entire time about what you’ve been a part of and what you’ve built your entire identity around, you realize that these lies have been dividing us and dehumanizing us rather than pushing us toward humanity.
If we allow ourselves to surrender to this truth that we can no longer ignore, what awaits us on the other end is freedom. That’s the silver lining. Surrendering our tribal identities—all of us, on every and all sides—leads to total freedom of the mind.
In his words, I really hope his legacy is a turning point.
The fear that the left keeps having about "a dictator" is a self-fulfilling prophecy. They manifest the thing they fear. They keep clamping down on rights, villainizing everything and everyone, restricting and restricting, which radicalizes people and creates a feedback loop. Then, when people can't take it anymore, and react back, they say "See! We warned of this!" It's a child's logic.
Today the BBC have come out and said that Charlie Kirk has extreme views
Kirk was a moderate conservative that debated college kids
Labelling him as an extremist is what got him killed.
The bbc should be ashamed of themselves and stop using those kind of smears
I’ve been thinking about this nonstop.
Why are young liberals so angry? Why can’t conservative speakers come to a campos without riots and protests and death threats? How did it come to this?
I think the answer may be that young liberals have been conditioned to believe anyone who dares to differ from their narrow worldview is a threat, and not just a threat but a target that needs to be neutralized. Their “teachers” have also reinforced this point by repeatedly confirming conservatives are Nazis, are evil, are ending “democracy.”
What’s the solution? Now more than ever we must speak. Loudly, passionately, undeterred. More debate. More discussion. More.
