Withdraw USAID in favor of ?Land acquisition for technological monitoring of resource rich state whilst running restricted RSA government access projects and experiments?

Orania vibes?

@joburglawyer It will bring the internet to 8 million rural South Africans, which will result in the DNA gaining a majority in the next election in 2029 (within the GNU) which should move GNU to around 80% of the total vote. Elon is fighting corruption in the US, & this is his effort in SA.

@paawillie54 @Wizarab10 You're lack of knowledge cannot account of the presence of a principle.

[Ray @Ray_G20]

@StephAchigbu You're very much within the corners of reason to have this point of view and philosophy.

And the man that wishes to be like a duck paddling under water with seemingly effortless motion, such is his truth- and confinement to reason.

Each to his own.

Perfectionism rarely begets perfection or satisfaction - only disappointment.

Because I believe Bitcoin will 10x + from here I see every dollar I convert into bitcoin as a multiple of 10 or better

So if you buy $500 worth of bitcoin it’s $5,000 in the future

Exchanging $500 today for $5,000 in the future is an easy decision to make for me

It’s unsettling seeing people give up on “dreaming” around 35 when life can be so long if you decide to coast but then get to live a long life by accident.

already statistically, black people get poorer as they grow older, even if they are very educated and have good credit

Procrastination is a lack of alignment.

No urgency, meaning, or priority in the goal you are trying to achieve makes distraction the only other option.

You don't need to stop procrastinating, you need to choose something better to focus on.

16 real Reasons why Gaddafi was killed:

1. Libya has no electricity bill, electricity came free of charge to all citizens.

2. There were no interest rates on loans, the banks were state-owned, the loan of citizens by law 0%.

3. Gaddafi promised not to buy a house for his parents until everyone in Libya owns a home.

4. All newlywed couples in Libya received 60,000 dinars from the government & because of that they bought their own apartments & started their families.

5. Education & medical treatment in Libya are free. Before Gaddafi there were only 25% readers, 83% during his reign

6. If Libyans wanted to live on a farm, they received free household appliances, seeds and livestock.

7. If they cannot receive treatment in Libya, the state would fund them $2300+ accommodation & travel for treatment abroad.

8. If you buy a car, the government finances 50% of the price.

9. The price of gasoline became $ 0.14 per liter.

10. Libya had no external debt, and reserves were $150 Billion (now frozen worldwide)

11. Since some Libyans can't find jobs after school, the government will pay the average salary when they can't find a job.

12. Part of oil sales in Libya are directly linked to the bank accounts of all citizens.

13. The mother who gave birth to the child will receive $5000

14. 40 loaves of bread cost $0.15.

15. 25% of Libyans had all Ilisna diplomas.

16. Gaddafi has implemented the world's biggest irrigation project known as the "BIG MAN PROJECT" to ensure water availability in the desert.
If this is called “DICTATORSHIP” I wonder what democracy is?

Tony Robbins believes that, in a lowered emotional state, we only see the problems, not solutions.

Let’s say you wake up feeling tired and overwhelmed. You sit down to brainstorm strategies to solve your issues, but it comes to naught, and you feel even worse afterward. This is because you started in a negative state, then attempted strategy but didn’t succeed (due to tunnel vision on the problems), and then likely told yourself self-defeating stories (e.g., “I always do this. Why am I so wound up I can’t even think straight?”).

To fix this, he encourages you to “prime” your state first. The biochemistry will help you proactively tell yourself an enabling story. Only then do you think on strategy, as you’ll see the options instead of dead ends.

“Priming” my state is often as simple as doing 5 to 10 push-ups or getting 20 minutes of sun exposure.

I often ask myself, “Is this really a problem I need to think my way out of? Or is it possible I just need to fix my biochemistry?” I’ve wasted a lot of time journaling on “problems” when I just needed to eat breakfast sooner, do 10 push-ups, or get an extra hour of sleep.

Sometimes, you think you have to figure out your life’s purpose, but you really just need some macadamia nuts and a cold fucking shower.

No one has ever gotten better at anything by feeling sorry for themselves.
