@scottmelker oil,
ah,
They control the world if the main energy used to get from A to B is in their hands.
No crypto, no electronics, no solar.
Oil is easy to control and manipulate. It won't last much longer, literally days before this racket is over, this is becoming their last stand
I want to explain this
I've been wearing Ronaldo and jamming on a balcony in Braga, pissed off some people unintentionally

Peterson drops the most useful framework in this whole clip and almost nobody will catch it:
Naive first. Cynical second. Wise third.
Most people get stuck at stage two. They see how dark people really are and decide being good is for suckers.
But naive goodness isnโt goodness. Itโs just goodness that hasnโt been tested yet.
The people actually worth learning from have seen the darkness up close, and then chose to be good. Thatโs not soft. Thatโs the hardest thing a person can do.
And then Theo lands it: โthings donโt know how to just be good.โ
Leave your house alone for a year and you get black mold. Leave your life alone and you get the same thing.
Which stage are you in right now?
Joe Rogan and his guest discuss why marijuana and daily habits can turn into a trap, explaining how pleasure circuits and dopamine hooks work.
"Marijuana can be your friend and it can enhance your life, but if you take too much, it's such a seductive little creature. A little bit of it is like, 'ah, this is nice,' but if you get too crazy, especially with edibles, it'll take you and lock you up on this wild journey of paranoia".
"It can really sort of knock you off your center. Like all these things, you got to learn how to use it".
"People get to these places and they fail to do a reality check on themselves. I get emails from people all the time saying, 'Life's been pretty weird lately, I took mushrooms five times last week.' And it's like, 'Dude, how about you lay off for a while and give yourself a chance?'".
"These things are reinforcing, they activate those pleasure circuits in the brain mediated mainly through dopamine. The reinforcing drugs and pleasure drugs work directly or indirectly through the dopamine circuits".
"Once it gets in your bones, it just seems like you're so compelled to continue that behavior, and the idea of stopping is almost more painful than the idea of wrecking your life".
"Common sense advice, but people don't do that. All you have to do is look around to realize that".
The reason you're not creative. Not motivated. Not focused.
AKA the stuff that came easy to you as a kid.
Is that every form of "relaxing" in our society is SMASHING our minds with serotonin and dopamine.
TikTok. Video games. Drinking. WATCHING sports.
If you're doing these to relax, your mind is never at rest.
Like a dude spending every waking minute in a strip club. You'll become numb to things that used to drive you wild. Your motivation to chase plummets.
When you relax, you have to actually relax and empty the mental bucket.
Drop it all. Read. Pick up an instrument. Lift. Keep your phone in a drawer far away from you. DEPRIVE yourself of the easy serotonin and dopamine.
All that gusto you used to have as a kid will come right back. Then USE the drive on what matters. AKA the thing, the work. Then ACTUALLY relax again.
99% of people are on a treadmill. They do low-focus, low-creativity, ass work... Then get home and scroll, eat sugar, play video games/scroll/watch Fox News/CNN, wank, binge Netflix and repeat.
Like the guy in the strip club, they can no longer enjoy the "curves" of life because they're in overdrive... staring at ass and tits 24/7.
You're not getting old or dull or necessarily suffering from ADHD.
Your brain just hasn't had a breather in years.
@redban@elonmusk@Tesla Well I dunno my man, the human brain and stars are kinda awe inspiring. Bugs and sh1t. Flowers, mountains.
Iโll take those and so many human interwoven stories of love and laughter over a piece of metal doing a kickflip any day.
But it was cool! ๐ค
