955295 -- The Wise Don't Have Problems Hesiod, the poet, said that "the best treasure is a sparing tongue." Robert Greene considers it a law of power: Always Say Less Than Necessary. We talk because we think it's helping, whereas in reality it's making things hard for us. If our spouse is venting, we want to tell them what they should do. In fact, all they actually want us to do is hear them. In other situations, the world is trying to give us feedback or input, but we try to talk ourselves out of the problem--only to make it worse. So today, will you be part of the problem or part of the solution? Will you hear the wisdom of the world or drown it out with noise? "This is why we say that nothing happens to the wise person contrary to their expectations" -- Seneca, On Tranquillity of Mind, 13.3b

Light blue propaganda would have you believe the UK regrets leaving the EU 10 years on. Although, an interactive poll below the graph shows 73% of 1,269 of us that voted still believe it was the right call.

954666 - page 187 - Take A Walk 'In a notoriously loud city like Rome, it was impossible to get much peace and quiet. The noises of wagons, the shouting of vendors, the hammering of a blacksmith--all filled the streets with piercing violence (to say nothing of the putrid smells of a city with poor sewage and sanitation). So philosophers went on a lot of walks--to get where they needed to go, to clear their heads, to get fresh air. Throughout the ages, philosophers, writers, poets, and thinkers have found that walking offers an additional benefit--time and space for better work. As Nietzsche would later say: "It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth." Today, make sure you take a walk. And in future, when you get stressed or overwhelmed, take a walk. When you have a tough problem to solve or a decision to make, take a walk. When you want to be creative, take a walk. When you need to get some air, take a walk. When you have a phone call to make, take a walk. When you need some exercise, take a walk. When you have a meeting or a friend over, take a walk together. Nourish yourself and your mind and solve your problems along the way. "We should take wandering outdoor walks, so that the mind might be nourished and refreshed by the open air and deep breathing." -- Seneca, On Tranquillity of Mind, 17.8'

Most of the UK locals fit into one of or a few of the following: 1. Unarmed. 2. Alienated about Bitcoin (capital B) being a scam. 3. Coerced into thinking the Covid-19 vaccine would save them, thier job and livlihood. 4. Made to think being castrated or tubes tied is a good idea. 5. Study centralised social media every waking minute. 6. Watch local news on a tv. 7. Accept the latest DEI narrative. There's an army of zombies. Demoralised with no passion for how to make the necessary changes. View quoted note →

GM ☕️ I was reading 21 Lessons by @Gigi through my wife's slow labour yesterday evening to occupy myself before the big event. Following that, my first son was born at 00.21am (fiat time) block height 953561. How epic! Mum and son are in great shape 💙 🧡

Inflationary monetary policy push investors toward speculative opportunities. Easy money helps create giant firms with defensive moats, making it harder for smaller competitors to emerge. AI then becomes another mechanism for concentrating power. https://mises.org/mises-wire/sound-money-artificial-intelligence-and-pope
