    I want to take a second to recognize someone… Shono

    INTRO 
    There’s a lot to learn from people who are failing or struggling. Here’s a good example that may not be relevant here but nonetheless true: A mentally-ill schizophrenic person. Bear with me. LOL That person is speaking and repeating non-sense to themselves whether verbally or not. It exposes...

    I want to take a second to recognize someone… Shono

    INTRO 
    No matter your life situation there is always that POTENTIAL sitting there. Like a vector in physics. Your highest potential is the realization of an IDENTITY. Nobody or any opportunity has to knock on your door. It’s up to you right now. A or ~A. Am I “A” or “Not A”? You are a tautology...

    HOT! CHAT 
    Well, I wasn't going to respond to this but it isn't a bad question. Most people can't lay out the criteria as to what makes someone "stupid" or "smart". But if I had to answer it, at the most basic level we are all striving for an IDENTITY. We are also trying to identify reality and the...

    Sad to see different parts of our country deny the very values we were founded on. It’s denying human nature and it’s weakness in itself. We all have these mechanisms as humans and they need to be controlled. It’s like conspiracy theories. Of course a lot of them are true, it’s human nature...

    Petroyuan Coming? End of the dollar?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    The back door in the US was left wide open. "Gotcha" will be the famous last words. A lot of what seems a$$-backwards being done in the US, I think is actually a clever strategy/agenda by a small group of people. We are a country that has politicians who don't represent the average citizen...

    When someone says, "I've read 30,000 books" they are lying.

    ASK THE AI 
    I've read a sh*t ton of books. But I have maybe 10 books that I religiously "study" and refer back to constantly. That's because they possess ideas that are difficult to grasp and comprehend. Those are the books that change your thinking and change your life. If you haven't read a lot of...

    Business Ethics- Kak vs Dragon

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This. We all have these mechanisms and life puts our faith in truth to the test. You win if you have faith in truth. In a lot of ways business is about alleviating certain scarcities in how resources are in equilibrium. It isn’t always “The art of War” by Sun Tzu or “The Prince” by Niccolo...

    The Costanza Principle: The secret to your best life?

    GOLD! NEWSLETTER 
    Or my favorite, go to an MLB game where some 40 year old wearing another grown man’s sports jersey is yelling ad hominem attacks at a player while holding a beer and a hotdog. In the meantime ads for casinos or private universities plague the stadium. You would win in life if you just...

    So I Quit Caffeine This Week... Should You?

    HOT! 
    I do strict diet and I can “tell” what’s bad for my body. Those energy drinks damage your gut. The best alternative I’ve found has been the zero calorie, zero sugar Yerbaes or just plain black coffee. Or just supplements with water.

    A Job Isn’t Giving Up

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    “This too shall pass” is worth repeating as you work a job. Whatever your job title is be the best at it. Be a professional broom pusher. Turn it into a “peak experience” as Maslow says. If you are flipping burgers flip-em like a pro with fast subconscious dexterous moves.

    The mechanisms of recursion embedded within my perception will prevail. The cognitive loop will complete and i'll learn from this. :humph: Nice! That's funny as I actually tend to go with my gut(or maybe I'm bias). :rofl:

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    Sounds like me. And I'm your age too. This is one the hardest things in my life. The toxic and dysfunctional relationships with those close to me. The passive aggressive attacks on me being vegan and them ignoring my advice on better health and success. Really makes me sad and mad thinking...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    If you think about it isn’t ChatGPT what search is supposed to be compared to a Google algorithm. If you give a set of instructions to a human as an analogy. You expect that the words and their syntax are taken into account.

    Quit Alcohol. Try it.

    MINDSET 
    I was at the gym last night(Saturday) and it was nearly empty. I knew exactly what everyone else was doing that night. Drinking and partying. A whole new world opens up when you cut out the alcohol. You can get an advantage in life JUST by cutting out alcohol from your life.
