    Your Best and Worse Defenses for Inflation...

    So the next step is to escape B2C completely or get into B2C for rich people? And why is your business not good enough? Product quality? Or the targeted audience who can't keep up with inflation?

    Substack or X's article feature for long-form content?

    MARKETING 
    So is potential increased organic reach the main benefit of writing long form on X? Or do you get paid by views? I'm a little confused about this platform now.

    If you were to sell the house and move to, say, Tennessee, where prices (I guess) are at least 2x lower, how does that make you feel? How does an average person in California these days looks at what they get there vs what they can get somewhere else, even though they would no longer live in a...

    I'll investigate Sahil Bloom (I saw this tweet of his and now I know we're on the same page regarding time freedom) and Nathan Barry. Anyone else you'd recommend checking out? I just signed up for Sahil's newsletter and will explore his content more. I saw there's a transcript of one of the...

    Thanks. That's a super creative and very smart business model. I browsed through his Twitter to learn a bit more about the basics quickly. This post explains this quite well: View: https://twitter.com/_hunterhammonds/status/1719698541621153839 This reminds me of Jay Abraham's JV approach who...

    How to improve immunity?

    HEALTH 
    UVB doesn't penetrate the atmosphere unless the sun angle is above 50 degrees. Many places in the world have several months when the sun doesn't go above 50 degrees. This includes places where people think you can tan year round like California or Miami. Consequently, solar exposure in the...

    Why does nothing work? Is it because of living in 3rd world country?

    QUESTION 
    These are some of the hardest countries to immigrate to unless you get a student visa. What if you tried to move to Morocco, Turkey, or a similar country like that? You'd be in a similar culture and it should be much easier for you to move there. From there, you could more easily build up your...

    Thanks for food for thought. I'm definitely NOT wired the way you are in that I don't need billions and refuse to sacrifice my life for more money. As for whether in general I want or not want more money, I'd agree that I value freedom above money. I do have one such business idea that I've...

    That's a very unfair summary and I don't agree with it at all. I carefully consider each post and respond without trying to dismiss it (if anyone feels that I dismissed their post, let me know and I'll do better). I agree with most of what has been said in this thread so far. The only thing I...

    To answer this question I need to think of myself more positively than I'm thinking now. Otherwise my answer will be "I have no unfair advantage." I'll think about it when I'm in a more productive state of mind. My only question is: what if your unfair advantage is no longer that useful...

    How long have you been tracking your calories? I did it for over 10 years, including weighing everything I ate. To this day I'm still struggling with an eating disorder caused by this habit. My brain simply can't understand how much to eat anymore because I taught it to rely on calorie...

    I'm extremely protective of my sports passions and will never taint them with any business endeavors. There's too much of a risk of turning a passion into a job and ending up hating both.

    I meant that content, in most cases, takes way longer to work. Unless you can crack the algorithm, you won't get 1,000 visitors within 24 hours of posting an article (and you can do that easily with an ad). Noted. I mostly referred to writing. If I start every business thinking how I can use...

    I'm not struggling with meaning. I've internalized the belief that life has no meaning and don't seek it anymore. I'm fine just having an enjoyable life. Having some kind of a business, at least still at this stage of my life (probably not when I'm older), makes it a little bit more enjoyable.

    Excellent post. It just takes way too long to get anywhere with content. And these days, content is just too competitive of a game. Ads are, too. But at least you aren't competing with millions of people who value their time at $1 per hour. These people would rather write content and expect 100...

    I did not dismiss Andy's business and my comment about not having a real business was aimed at my own projects the last few years, not his business.

    @Antifragile and @amp0193 I need to clarify one thing because I did a poor job in my previous response and it might have sounded too aggressive or like I dismissed the idea of having employees. I do have great experiences working with contractors. There's no way I would've been able to do...

    Being plant-based doesn't mean being on a low-fat diet. It's just as easy to consume lots of fat and eat heavy meals as a vegan. Plants are digested faster but it's not about the fat content alone. Try a meal with quinoa, beans, and tempeh. It won't be a light meal, even though it is a healthy...
