One of the easiest ways to stand out in 2026 is to read.
The gap between readers and non-readers will be the most important divide of the next decade.
While everyone worries about AI, 54% of adults can't read beyond a 6th-grade level.
That's why we started an online book club to study the greatest texts of Western Civilization. Every month, we study a new great work — so far we've covered Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, The Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote, etc.
Currently, we're reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.
Western Civilization has given us the greatest books ever written, but it takes effort to read them, and even more to read them well. That’s what we’re doing here, slowly, together.
If you want to support our efforts, please consider a paid subscription. It makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project. Paid members get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next...

John Kiriakou Explains Why Epstein Spied on Everyone
“He was probably working on behalf of the CIA as well, the FBI and MI5 and MI6 in the UK.”

Stop making everything a big deal.
If you messed up recently, it’s not a value judgement.
It’s not a manifestation of your inner essence.
It isn’t “you”.
It’s just an incident.
A sequence of micro-actions which became an event.
Don’t treat it like anything more than that.
You’re doing fine.
Alex Hormozi explains how to build wealth without looking rich.
"If you want to impress poor people, outspend them. If you want to impress rich people, outwork them. If you lease a Ferrari for $5,000 a month, I know you're not rich. And every rich person isn't impressed by that, because we know what it costs. You only impress poor people."
"Your lifestyle is your competitor's opportunity. There's you and other version of you. Bizarro you wants to live this great lifestyle, and has the Ferrari, and the nicer place. But when an opportunity comes along, Bizarro doesn't have any savings, because he's trying to show face. There's zero advantage to being accurately judged. If you are strong, you want to appear weak."

This video of Israel’s latest war crime is being systematically suppressed by Twitter.
I screen recorded the moment the platform removed 19 retweets from the post — evidence of Western war crimes being targeted by Elon’s algorithm.
Minutes later, it removed 21 more retweets👇
La triste realidad que vive el país en una imagen y dos videos.
Un gobierno indolente y desconectado de la realidad celebra logros inexistentes, mientras más de 180,000 familias buscan a un ser querido desaparecido. Su presunta alianza con el narcotráfico y la destrucción de la confianza en el país son el legado que millones de mexicanos padecen todos los días.
POR MÁS QUE QUIERAN, NO SE OUEDE TAPAR EL SOL CON UN DEDO.
