The Masculine Urge to Walk Away

It’s always there. At school. At work. In relationships. The urge never leaves. Even success doesn’t kill it, it can even make it stronger.

It can make you powerful or destroy you. Found in the oldest literature we have.

New @redactedisland

I first met @ChloeNorgaard in 2009 while we were models in Tokyo (lol). That was pretty much where my modeling career started and ended. But Chloe went on to become a shooting star. She’s not only been the face of some of the biggest brands in the world, but has also been on a mission to add more life and color to it ever since.

In this episode we remember what it was like playing mannequins in Japan (in the era before the iPhone), as well as talk about Chloe’s quest to plant flowers in urban landscapes from New York City to Addis Ababa.

The Redacted Island is actually a place

[Mitch Swenson @Mitch_Swenson]

I don't think new nation-states necessarily need to be techno-optimist utopias, libertarian tax havens, or return to rulers Roman Empires. Sovereign states that will succeed will likely be politically moderate sanctuaries where people don't feel forced to choose between two really old dudes as leader.

[Mitch Swenson @Mitch_Swenson]

Increasingly the zeitgeist of the west is one of the exitmaxxer. Leave and design a better nation. Now we're in the trial phase to see if new sovereign nation-states will actually work @bryan_johnson
