Feeling pressure is because you’re doing something meaningful.

Pressure is derived from significance.

If you feel pressure, be grateful that your work is important.

Aaron Owens with @TejasTonicBev is the man, and probably has the deepest knowledge of all things related to cannabis laws/products in the State of Texas that I've ever met. Check it out:

Younger parents tend to ask my parents for advice.

I've condensed some key points over the years.

Run these psyops on your children:

- You are gifted intellectually
- You can unlock your supreme athleticism.
- Work diligently on skills and education that nobody can take away from you. That is the secret to everlasting confidence.

- You are the type of person who can achieve whatever you want when you discipline yourself to work for it – It does not just happen.

- You have an unending capacity to work, you are not lazy.
- You set your standard. Others are to fit in with you.
- Never worry about making friends, once you truly get comfortable being alone, people are drawn to you.

- Everything is a skill. You can learn anything; anything becomes more interesting the more you learn about it.
- Whatever you're interested in, be excellent in your chosen path. You will be supported.

- Genius is a state accessible to you.

- Nobody has the right to disrespect you, even at your young age. In any room you find yourself in, you have valuable contributions. They have inherent valuable because the words come through someone like you.

- Do not shrink yourself. You deserve to take up space.

- You can come to me for anything, even if you think I'll be upset – which I might be. But with me, you can unburden your conscience with the truth. I'm with you always.

I will always be the fortress that supports you until my dying days; and when I'm gone, gaze upon the spread of the heavens.

Know that I support you still.

If America would embrace capitalism and reject cronyism

in health care, agriculture, military contracting, insurance, media, technology, and banking,

we would experience a renaissance unprecedented in human history.

Anyone know Matt Alvarez? If you’ve consumed any podcast media in the past 5 years, especially if the podcasts you follow include comedians, you’ve been exposed to his work without knowing it:

I have several podcast episodes that I’ve recorded and failed to share here. Still learning to walk! Will start posting them more consistently, and recording more consistently as well.

You wouldn't know it based on what you see on this site, but there is actually a lane for people who are skeptical of military intervention and regime change wars but also aren't weeping for the Iranian regime and actively rooting for America to fail. Not only does the lane exist in real life but it's where like 90 percent of real people live.

Had to get this off my chest…

Early specialization is overrated. Generalists excel over time.

Data on >34k stars in sports, music, science, and chess: Focusing on a single field predicts a faster rise, but cross-training foreshadows a higher peak.

The most successful adults start off as well-rounded kids.

Austin TX is now back to pre-pandemic apartment rents.

Down 21% from peak in summer of 2022.

$1,636/month --> $1,288/month

(I'm now even seeing 2BRs in some apartments at sub-$1,000)

This rental correction is due to a sharp drop in migration/demand, combined with a surge of new apartment development.

At this point, Austin has its cheapest rents on record relative to income.

Brains are very susceptible. Steer yours properly. View the sunrise, thank God for another day living and then go get meaningful things done. Trolls and drama are there to test your focus. Happy Friday!

This was exceptionally good. Kudos to everyone involved:
