What if your son could trade four stagnant years in lecture halls for four years of adventure, and come out the other side a debt-free EMT, licensed pilot, builder, sailor, fighter, and entrepreneur?

A lot of tough guys urge young people to "skip college," but rarely explain what they should do instead. That just changed.

The great and brilliant Doug Casey, who's visited 150+ countries and made a fortune as an investor, just wrote something every parent of a son needs to read.

I read it and immediately had a copy shipped to Dave Smith, with a note: You have a son, and for his sake you need to read this.

It's called The Preparation, though Doug tells me it was nearly called Renaissance Man.

Have your son pursue this, and he will emerge as the most interesting person everyone he meets will know, by a country mile.

It's a four-year, 16-cycle alternative to college that forges a debt-free EMT, pilot, builder, sailor, and entrepreneur -- oh, and someone who can prepare authentic Italian cooking because he learned it in Florence. 

Your son will emerge not as a graduate with a degree and a loan balance, but as a young man who can fly a plane, save a life, build a house, and hold his own in any room.

He'll take courses, too, but not ones taught by crazy people who hate him.

So many young people these days are without direction, and in this AI world don't know what to do.

Doug Casey is training young men to be masters of the universe. (1/2)

Major support in Silver comes in at $54

Here is how the dynamics of price behavior works:

Late comer bulls who bought >$90 missed the top and have sworn to themselves that they will never sell out

In fact, they have stated their intent to buy more at $65 and more at $60

They will mark the bottom by puking out their positions below $60 swearing to never trade Silver again

This is how bottoms are made every time in every market be it Silver or Bitcoin or Soybeans or Sugar or the S&Ps

In 1973, Robert Heinlein put a line in a novel I've never been able to shake.

In Time Enough for Love, a character who's lived 2,000 years rattles off a list of what a human should be able to do (change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, build a wall, program a computer and so on)

It ends with: "Specialization is for insects."

The thing about Heinlein is he lived an incredibly varied life that embodied the “competence across domains” principle.

He graduated from the Naval Academy, served in radio comms aboard aircraft carriers, ran for California State Assembly, worked as a Navy engineer during WWII … and then became one of the most influential science fiction writers of the 20th Century.

I've found it useful to learn enough across different areas that I'm not completely stuck when something goes wrong.

I can write software, weld, read wiring diagrams, paint a wall, retile a bathroom, change a propane tank, run financial models, fix a toilet, plant a tree, maintain beehives, invest across asset classes, do 10 pull ups, run a marathon.

None of this makes me a mechanic, or an electrician, or a farmer, or an athlete of course. But it does make me a guy who's slightly less useless in more situations than he used to be. And that adds up over the years.

When a deal comes across my desk, I can run the numbers myself instead of taking someone else's word for it. When a piece of equipment breaks, I can take a stab at fixing it. When I need to play pickup basketball with my sons, I can hold my own.

You can essentially collapse the whole quote to “become a well-rounded person who can figure stuff out”.

It’s not like you’ll be great at everything.

But you can become someone who’s not completely dependent on others for every single thing that breaks.

Love this post by Jordan 🔽. One of my favorite musicians is David Gilmour from Pink Floyd. He’s 79 with a new album that’s epic. I’ll never retire. This “you’re too old” crap is an excuse. I like to end the day exhausted & will keep it that way until God calls me home. 💯

If you are just starting out, this can be an unlock to changing yours too.

A friend of mine finally read Scott Adams' How To Fail At Everything... last week after a decade of me telling him to and he's all like, "who this is life changing, I have oragnized my whole life into systems and I am already doing way better than I was last week."

I’ve been telling people this for two decades that almost everything can be explained by soil fertility and mineralization levels. That’s why I only buy farms on limestone fertile soils.

Michael Chandler discusses how training his mind helped change the trajectory of his career.

"I can do all the physical stuff, but if I'm not building up the mind then I'm really just making a bigger, faster, stronger, more dangerous subpar version of the man I'm supposed to be."

The word "subpar" is what makes this quote so great for me. You can do all the physical training in the world and still fall short of your potential if you're neglecting the mind that's responsible for directing it.

We often assume the next breakthrough requires more work on our craft. Sometimes it requires more work on ourselves.
