Bro the ai hacking shit is out of control. The sheer amount of attempts and spam calls and emails I’ve been receiving lately is 100x more than usual.

Sometimes you recognize you’ve let a bad person into your life. The minute the realization hits you remove that person with extreme prejudice and keep the door shut.

You should be suspicious of people who want to be in a position of leadership. Leadership should happen naturally as a result of group nomination and reluctant acceptance. There are many people who believe being in charge is about exerting your will on others. When in reality leadership is a burden of carrying and balancing everyone else’s desires in an effort to make everyone under your stewardship content. If you ever meet a person pining for power thinking he or she should be in charge, that person will be actively harmful in any leadership role you or the group may be dumb enough to put them in. Good leaders are competent and capable and they are selected on that basis. Not because they want to be chief bossy person in charge. That’s just some petty tyrant. Know the difference.

Contrary to popular belief marriage is awesome and very satisfying and fulfilling. If your algo or surroundings are convincing you otherwise just know that there are very happy couples out there and they are living amazing lives together. They don’t often talk about it as loudly as those who are miserable though because they know it’s rare and needs to be protected from the envious eyes of the world. But if you look you will start to see it everywhere. Most women are not dumb sluts and most men are not cheating assholes. There’s a lot of really good people out there. You can find yours if you’re willing to look and put in the effort it takes to sustain a life with someone who wants the same things as you.

When you have kids, they have kids and as you age you are surrounded by life. When you don’t, you are surrounded by death as everyone you know dies off one by one.

Listen it’s very fun as an American to do the “England sucks, Europe sucks.” Thing. It’s a fun banter and I like when the euro’s give it back to me. It’s brotherly. But I am sincerely worried about my European friends and European Bitcoiner’s. I spend a lot of time thinking about them and praying for them. I hope you all remain safe and healthy with what’s going on right now and in the years to come.
