Here’s why I’m proudly voolish 🧵🟣

[🗽 @verritass]

Doomscrolling is a black magic ritual. You lay in the same position. Turn off the lights, deeply focused on the feed. You’re shown memes, tragedies and “useful” information (it’s all slop) and before you know it you’re stuck in a trance. Your thumb moves without thought. You’re in flow but it’s artificially engineered by the dopamine loops the algo was built to trigger. You remember you have things to do but the black mirror pulls you in deeper by showing you something that stimulates you more. Before you know it, all your free time is gone. Every original idea you may have had is gone. You’re polluted with open loops and feel restless all the time. Every day you go to your altar (your bed), pull out your rosary (your ig feed) and you endlessly worship slop. Time blurs together and years have gone by yet you repeat the same pattern. Why? because you’ve never been taught how to engage with your own boredom, with your own pain, with your own discomfort. You resist it like it’s killing you, but what’s killing you is what you’ve turned into a part of your life (scrolling). It’s inverted. If you simply learned how to be courageous and face your immediate discomfort with pain and boredom. You’ll allow your natural wisdom and creativity to rise and begin living a life you truly want to live.

The dura is the brain's armor: a membrane so tough that a surgeon normally cuts through it with a scalpel. For the first time in our clinical trials, we inserted the electrode threads of our implant straight through the dura and into the cortex, keeping the dura intact.

Here's how we did it 🧵

if you constantly talk to yourself, create imaginary scenarios or have full conversations in your head, it might not be as random as you think. for many people, it's a form of self-regulation.

when you don't feel truly understood by the people around you, your mind often becomes both the speaker and the listener. it creates a safe space where you can finally say the things you never say out loud. you replay old conversations, imagine better responses, prepare for questions no one has even asked yet. you rehearse arguments in your head, sometimes you win them, sometimes you lose them.

you say things you would never have the courage to say in real life. over time, you become so used to processing everything internally that you stop expecting other people to understand you. instead, you learn to understand yourself.

while that can make you more self-aware, it can also become isolating. the more fluent you become in your inner world, the harder it can feel to express yourself in the real one. real conversations are unpredictable. they're messy. they don't follow a script, and that's exactly what makes them uncomfortable but here's the important part: your inner voice was never meant to replace human connection. it was meant to support it.

so if this sounds like you, maybe the goal isn't to think less. maybe it's to give yourself the chance to be heard by someone else, too. buena suerte 👍

When my mother left my father, he was pained.

But he didn't go to beg her to return.

After some months, he asked his kinsmen to accompany him to retrieve the bride price.

And he never remarried until his death.

I grew up without a mother from age 9.

Today, I have solved many marital issues.

And I am highly sort after.

And I married a lovely wife.

My marriage has lasted more than my late father's marriage.

And my loving father had 6 children.

Even in death, he's still more successful than I am.

End.

The most talented people I meet have no poker face; they are physically incapable of faking interest and will disengage in real-time the second a conversation stops being worth their attention.

I met a scientist who would open Tetris when calls stopped being intellectually stimulating, and a founder who would stand up and just leave press interviews and board meetings the instant they became boring. You will almost never see these people at random networking events or dinners.

Most people expend too much energy pretending to be engaged; nervously nodding in meetings and laughing at the right moments to keep things polite. Exceptional people rarely have this ability; it makes them painful at dinner parties but unstoppable at the things that actually matter to them.

Big believer in the idea that only a handful of decisions determine your entire life. The rest is all just noise

The big decisions are generally:
1. who you marry
2. what career path you go down
3. saving and spending habits
4. how you take of your body and exercise
5. who you spend time with (friends)

If you get these 5 right, it’s really hard to go wrong in life

[Chris Williamson @ChrisWillx]

In life, you must choose your regrets.

“You'll regret it if you get married. You'll regret it if you don't get married. You'll regret it if you have kids, and you'll regret it if you don't.

Kierkegaard said this 200 years ago as follows:

‘Whatever you choose, you'll regret it. Because the problem isn't in your choices; it's in romanticizing a life you haven't lived.

A person always finds an untraveled path alluring and mysterious.

That's why the issue isn't making the right choice.

It's choosing and deciding which regret you'll live with.’

What have you decided?” — Salih Guney

You need 4 bank accounts if you want to build wealth without constantly wondering where your money went:

1. Income Account
This is where all your money comes in. salary, business income, side hustles, investment returns, and every other source of income. Don't spend directly from this account. Let it be the control centre where every naira is assigned a purpose.

2. Essentials Account
This covers your monthly necessities: rent, groceries, transportation, utilities, subscriptions, and other unavoidable expenses. Automatically transfer a fixed percentage here every month. If it's not a necessity, it doesn't belong in this account. Be honest with yourself.

3. Investment Account
This is where your future is built. Use it for stocks, crypto, index funds, retirement savings, or saving toward a home. Pay your future self before anyone else. Money leaving this account should create more wealth, not fund lifestyle upgrades.

4. Fun Account
Life isn't just about paying bills. Set aside a fixed amount for dining out, skincare, entertainment, travel, shopping, or hobbies. When your fun money runs out, the fun pauses until next month. Keeping pleasure separate from essentials helps you enjoy your money without guilt or overspending.

The goal isn't to have more bank accounts.

The goal is to give every naira a clear assignment before it disappears.

If you don't want four separate bank accounts, you can also use dedicated sub-accounts, wallets, or budgeting "spaces" offered by many banks and finance apps. The key idea is separating the purpose of your money, not necessarily opening four different banks.

Once in a while, I ask my son & my daughter to tell me the roles of a man & a woman in marriage.

Each time I ask them the question:

"Oh daddy not again"

But I don't care.

I'll always ask them to answer me.

I am building their mentality to fight against the woke world.

End.

if you stop doing what you’re doing, they’ll find someone else to replace you and forget you existed.

people operate like that, they don’t love you for who you are; they love what you have or carry and what they can gain from it. so don’t say, i’m a celebrity or i’m an influencer, my fans and audience just love me, lol no. people are drawn to what shines through you, no one is automatically special by default.

what makes you stand out is the value, grace, gifts or presence you carry. if you lose those things and assume you will remain just as relevant and special, you will be shocked and surprised.

the harsh truth is; this world is driven by self interest. it’s full of selfish people who can shout hosanna for you today and shout crucify him tomorrow just so they’ll feel good and fulfilled within themselves. so protect your grace, your power, your peace, your value and your gifts cos your relevance on earth depends heavily on them.

learn something, buena suerte 👍

one of my associate in the US just told me something that happened after a networking event.

that he met a young lady who seemed intelligent, friendly and highly connected. they talked for hours, exchanged ideas and built instant rapport. by the end of the night, it felt like they had known each other for years. just yesterday, the new acquaintance called him, claiming she was stranded in the area after her car broke down and needed somewhere to wait while help arrived cos of the positive first impression, my friend agreed and invited her over.

everything seemed normal at first. they talked, laughed and discussed business opportunities. after a while, my friend excused himself to take a shower upstairs. few mins later, he remembered he had left his laptop open in the living room. something told him to check the security camera on his phone before coming back down.

what he saw instantly made his stomach drop, the lady was no longer sitting on the couch.

instead, she was moving through the house, opening drawers, checking cabinets and taking photos of valuables, security systems and entry points. the man immediately called the police. when officers arrived, they discovered that the stranded guest had a history of targeting people she met through social and professional events. her goal wasn't friendship , she was gathering information to either rob homes later or pass the details to others.

the lesson here is that a good conversation is not a character reference, charm is not trustworthiness and one pleasant encounter is not enough time to know someone's intentions not everyone who earns your comfort has earned your access. the most expensive mistake you can make as a wealthy person is opening your door too quickly to people without discreetly evaluating them, thier history or performing a proper background check , maybe.

A man who studies his own patterns with brutal honesty eventually becomes harder to manipulate, because once he understands where he typically bends, panics, or seeks comfort, he can anticipate his own weaknesses and close the gaps before someone else exploits them.

A man came to my workplace, and after attending to him, he went down to his car and slept in it till 10pm.

His car was the only car remaining, and when the security men knocked and said, "Sir, we've closed for the day",

The 1st thing he said when he opened his eyes was: HOME IS BORING

Even billionaires with all the resources have this feeling.

Agba, your post, few years ago which says 👇

As a man,

A time will come in your life, when all your academic achievement, career success, wealth or fame, will not be what you'll wish to celebrate in the public.

Not even your close friends or extended family.

You'll just want to show off your wife, kids & grandkids.

Is a motivation for me.

Also, I think of my late dad's words so many years ago as my coping mechanism.

NOBODY IS COMING TO SAVE YOU AS A MAN.

Dear nature, be kind to all fathers 🙏🙏
