Your bank balance is not your spending money.

• Account balance: ₦450k
• Committed bills: ₦325k
• True safe-to-spend: ₦12,500/day

If you spend looking only at that ₦450k, you'll hit month-end panic every time.

Here's the math your banking app hides from you 🧵👇

how can you be bored when there's a career to build, a body to transform, a mind to sharpen, and a future to chase.

Uncommon advice: If you don't know what to pursue in life right now. Pursue yourself. Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself. Then the right path will reveal itself.

Allow me give a not so brief history lesson so we can all understand what is going on here.

For much of European history, pale skin was a marker of status. An elite woman was supposed to have skin that had barely been under the sun because pale skin signalled she did not work outdoors.

In a world where most people spent their lives labouring under the sun to survive, avoiding the sun was evidence of wealth.

The rich could stay indoors and send the poor outside to work for them. This is why they wore gloves and wide hats when outside. It is also where the term blue blood comes from; rich families who never did physical labour and thus were rarely in the sun had skin so pale the veins underneath would show.

So to be tanned meant to do outdoor labour, and to do outdoor labout meant to be poor.

But as the industrial revolution came around and factories multiplied, the poor who had previously laboured outdoors were pulled indoors to work in factories, workshops and later offices rather than under the sun

And their skin became paler.

Now if the poor could become pale skinned simply by working indoors, then pale skin could no longer communicate wealth, so the elite abandoned the old signal and switched to a new one: tanned skin.

Because now it meant only they had the time and money to lie in the sun while everyone else worked indoors.

Pale meant rich, tanned meant poor. Then pale meant poor so the rich did a 180 and went back to tanned.

That is exactly the same thing that is happening here. Wiresless ear buds generally, and airpods specifically meant rich. Wired earphones meant poor.

Then when everyone could afford wiresless ear buds and their replica knock-offs, wireless meant poor and the 'rich' who differentiated themselves with wiresless in the past, switched back to wired.

It is not because they "got tired of charging their wireless earbuds"

Away from the history lesson, the broader explanation is that humans crave to be seen. We do not want to go through life unnoticed. This is why we do only spend money to enjoy ourselves, we spend money so that others can see us spending money.

And one of the most common, socially acceptable ways of doing so is through the things we wear. For example. We do not spend money on watches that could buy a car so we can check the time. We spend that money so others can see that we spent money.

The point of the spending is the spending witnessed.

And with that, we signal that we are high status and that signal brings us attention .

But this flex has a fundamental flaw in the sense that the moment the status signal works, those below begin to copy it until it loses its utility.

So what happens to a status marker when those below can afford it too?

Simple; those above abandon it.

In conclusion, The things we buy, wear, drive, or use are driven by 1) the desire to belong and 2) the desire to stand out.

You want to look like the people above you to feel among, but you also want to look different from the people below you to stand out.

So the rich adopt a signal
The wannabe middle class copies it
And the majority poor copy the wannabes

And once the signal becomes widespread enough, it stops doing the job it was intended to do. Then the elite abandon it and look for a new one.

Sometimes they move to something more expensive or difficult to acquire. Sometimes they move to something obscure enough that the wannabes and the poor can't even grasp it. And sometimes, as with tanning and wired earphones, they do a 180 and move in the opposite direction.

It happens with clothes, bags, earphones, restaurants, language and so on.

The rich keep moving. The middle class keeps chasing, and the poor keep copying. And the markers of status keep changing. And on and on and on it goes.

Infinite AI problem ☀️ ☀️☀️

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

It is humbling to consider that if we harness just 1 millionth of the Sun’s power for AI, that will be much more than a million times the intelligence of all of humanity

[StrathamDave🎸 @rev_topboy]

@TosinOlugbenga Use AI to engineer the prompting for AI. This approach has proven to be effective on numerous counts

[StrathamDave🎸 @rev_topboy]

@TehnomasterS Yeah, great work indeed.

As a practicing technician myself, I have seen the need to implement AI in the field of repairs. Cars can’t be getting smarter, leaving the one who fixes them behind — that’s not an ideal relationship. That is why we built Strata Co-pilot.

Thanks man✅

@AcadeVira I'm glad you found this initiative very useful.
I agree, it really is a revolutionary leap for the Automotive aftersales and repair industry.

Built this because I'm a working mechanic in Lagos, now in Abuja. Watched too many skilled technicians waste hours — and customers' money — on parts guesswork. This is what should have existed.
