If you don’t build your cognition, someone else will. https://highlighter.com/npub1p4ausrwk3ncf6gu64zcg3s5aj50fs2prr7p94jackx3m32hjyxxsy79mkq
Yes, but if you continue to replace them you’ll continue to receive a lump of shit. Eventually you grow out of diapers and deal with your own shit like a sovereign adult. image
In 2025, I set a major goal for myself. I took a risk, left a “comfortable” job, albeit a soul crushing one. I manifested a place for myself within a group of mission driven people. Were there things that didn’t go my way this past year? Absolutely. But this thing I set out to do, I did. It feels good. I have a new main goal for 2026 and I intend to manifest that into my life as well. I also intend to put much more energy into Nostr. You can just do shit. Merry Christmas to you all! image
“Hey, so we destroyed the money and inflated the housing market to unattainable levels, forcing you to find an alternative asset, but also, no way we’re gonna let you buy a house with that shit because drug dealers use it sometimes” Opt out image
The must-watch Christmas movie schedule for me is: Christmas Eve: Christmas Vacation Christmas Day: It’s a Wonderful Life I’ll watch others but everything besides these is gravy. Home Alone usually kicks off the season.
The socialist urge to tax billionaires is almost, but not quite, inline with the libertarian stance. They want to tax them and perpetuate the coercive nature of the state, while the libertarian would prefer to end the corporate welfare state altogether. We both agree the billionaires have centralized capital on the backs of the plebs. Libertarians would just prefer to prevent the mechanism rather than adopt it.
GM Thinking about how easy it is for us to turn something into an existential crutch. I’ve been reducing my coffee intake, and when I hit my daily limit, I find myself wondering what the hell is the point of all this? 😂
Square launching lightning payments is almost enough to make me want to visit the U.S. again.
Perhaps the saddest thing about the AI revolution will be losing the ability to know if cute dog videos are real.
I’m spending a few nights in an expensive city next weekend and I asked an old friend who lives there if I could spend a few nights at his place. I could do Airbnb or hotel but they’re completely overpriced. I’ve known this guy for close to 25 years. Yet I felt this guilt of burdening him by asking. On the flip side, I’ve let bitcoiners stay at my place and vice versa, without question or hesitation. Sometimes after knowing each other for days or even hours. (Note that it’s always a mutual friend connection that I trust, not just any random person). I think that says a lot about having a shared passion and vision for the world.

I don’t think he should be fired, but I can tell you with complete confidence that Jimmy Kimmel is a complete and utter piece of shit. image
We have a great opportunity to opt out of hate algos here, don’t we? Seems like a good choice.
I used to think I was being intellectually balanced by staying engaged with old friend groups I disagreed with. I wanted to avoid being in an echo chamber. But seeing some of them laugh and celebrate today’s shooting has made it clear that they have lost their humanity.
