So I certainly don’t want to dissuade you from going after whatever you want. At the same time, I urge you to reflect on whether what you are going after is consistent with your nature. Whatever your nature is, there are many paths that will suit you, so don’t fixate on just one. Should a particular path close, all you have to do is find another good one consistent with what you’re like.
But most people lack the courage to confront their own weaknesses and make the hard choices that this process requires. Ultimately, it comes down to the following five decisions:
Don’t confuse what you wish were true with what is really true.
Don’t worry about looking good—worry instead about achieving your goals.
Don’t overweight first-order consequences relative to second- and third-order ones.
Don’t let pain stand in the way of progress.
Don’t blame bad outcomes on anyone but yourself.

as a man,
it’s your job to…
dress well.
be polite.
open doors.
pull her chair.
be a good listener.
don’t overshare.
get the bill.
leave a good tip.
bare minimum.
A man should have and be playing 3 infinite games at all times that he is constantly leveling in
-a trade or profession
-a physical game (an active sport, weight lifting/general fitness doesn’t count)
-an artistic game (drawing, music, building)
Each ads a ton to overall life/character growth and the trifecta will keep you fulfilled.
If you leave one out or only do one, you will notice an odd void and also burnout/lack of joy in the others.
For example if you just work but skip sport/art you will simply not be as grounded or creative in your work n will get bored/stifled.
You can swap/trade but actively improving should always be the goal (while also enjoying).
(Be careful with swapping the trade, it’s better to main and master a profession to the highest level as that’s where 98% of the money is)
Ad HEALTHY family n friends to the mix and you should essentially have no spare time for low level behavior (gaming, TV, drinking, social media addiction)
This is simple and it is the way.
Adin is such a worm! Genuinely take the L on the chin and go learn about basic monetary policy. This information will help so much people especially his audience. Can’t do one stream out of the millions he does about something remotely educational. But to argue your way out of that conversation.
🚨🥊 Mark Coleman, a UFC Hall of Famer, has regained consciousness after heroically rescuing his parents from a house fire earlier this week.
"I'm the happiest man alive!"
Legend 👏
Bread and circuses is how the Roman’s controlled they’re population. The average man dose not care that his nation is being destroyed because all his competitive instincts are focused on ritualized combat. They will freeze their asses off siting in the cold to feel like they are part of something while the real World passes them by. Western man you are being conquered. Wake up! On another note, look how bad the global warming is.
Using ChatGPT for sheets and excel is a massive hack. Literally improved my automation and formulas 10x. Instead of copying and pasting the custom information it spits out, spend the time to understand the principles. ELITE! #ExcelTips#LifeHack
🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Times Square New York had a blackout that came back online with images of Jesus Christ and the true meaning of Christmas.
Tennessee recently went viral for the same imagery, now it’s in New York. It appears Christ is making an American comeback.
Latest data from @crossbordercap is one of the most bullish signs I’ve seen for crypto.
Can’t share publicly, respecting his work.
But let me put it in a few words.
- US FED is lagging with easing policy ( means they may need to suddenly pump )
- If you see where policy is heading, lots of liquidity to be injected real soon
- Leading indicators shows a bullish path
To add my points:
2024 is election year. Biden will PRINT and LIE on everything.
Jobs report, FAKE
CPI, FAKE
Employment, FAKE
GDP, FAKE
I’m fucking bullish crypto. I’m buying every dip and holding off buying a Bugatti.

Fuck....
It is hard to explain or even understand how insane this all is.
This is a ONCE IN A MARKET liquidity event.
Bitcoin ETFs, then ETH ETFs, then my guess is other big altcoins like Solana get ETFs.
10's of billions will flood into crypto.
This shit will pump harded and crazier than people realize.
This could be the last great bull run.
The once in a lifetime mega bull where you can make generational wealth.
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT FUCK THIS UP
The most useful razors and rules I've found:
1. Bragging Razor - If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim
If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim
2. High Agency Razor - If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.
3. The Early-Late Razor - If it's a talking point on Reddit, you might be early. If it's a talking point on LinkedIn, you're definitely late.
4. Luck Razor - If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.
I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix. In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.
5. Buffett's Law - "The value of every business is 100% subject to government interest rates" - Warren Buffett
6. The 6-Figure Razor - If someone brags about "6 figures" -- assume it's closer to $100K than $900K.
7. Parent Rule - Break down the investments your parents made in you: Time, Love, Energy, and Money.
If they are still alive, aim to hit a positive ROI (or at least break even.)
8. Instagram Razor - When you see a photo of an influencer looking attractive on Instagram -- assume there are 99 worse variations of that photo you haven't seen.
They just picked the best one.
9. Narcissism Razor - If worried about people's opinions, remember they are too busy worrying about other people's opinions of them. 99% of the time you're an extra in someone else's movie
10. Everyday Razor - If you go from doing a task weekly to daily, you achieve 7 years of output in 1 year. If you apply a 1% compound interest each time, you achieve 54 years of output in 1 year.
11. Bezos Razor - If unsure what action to pick, let your 90-year-old self on death bed choose it.
12. Creativity Razor - If struggling to think creatively about a subject, transform it:
• Turn a thought into a written idea.
• A written idea into a drawing.
• A drawing into an equation.
• An equation into a conversation.
In the process of transforming it, you begin to spot new creative connections.
13. The Roman Empire Rule - Historians now recognize the Roman Empire fell in 476 - but it wasn't acknowledged by Roman society until many generations later.
If you wait for the media to inform you, you'll either be wrong or too late.
14. Physics Razor - If it doesn't deny the law of physics, then assume it's possible. Do not confuse society's current lack of knowledge -- with this knowledge being impossible to attain.
E.g. The smartphone seems impossible to someone from the 1800s -- but it was possible, they just had a lack of knowledge.
15. Skinner's Law - If procrastinating, you have 2 ways to solve it:
• Make the pain of inaction > Pain of action
• Make the pleasure of action > Pleasure of inaction
16. Network Razor - If you have 2 quality people that would benefit from an intro to one another, always do it.
Networks don't divide as you share them, they multiply.
17. Gell-Mann Razor - Assume every media article contains a % of false information.
Sandbox the article from your worldview until you've:
• Seen primary sources
• Spoken to 3 domain experts
18. Taleb's Surgeon - If presented with two equal candidates for a role, pick the one with the least amount of charisma.
The uncharismatic one has got there despite their lack of charisma. The charismatic one has got there with the aid of their charisma.
