my favourite quote of the moment:: "if it's endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining" Marcus Aurelius

People that tell themselves they're not into #bitcoin for Number Go Up are almost as deluded as people who tell themselves their brain works best at night.

Your kindle library is like a window into your mind. Should you ever peer through my window, you see a slightly contrarian, money-hungry individual who's plagued by the shortness of life. And I'm not sure it's a good thing.

If you don't turn off notifications on your phone, you're a psychopath in my book.

I used to fly with a crazy Dutch guy. He was a full blown conspiracy theorist. 9/11. Chemtrails. Aspartine. Moon landing. You name it. I still think the guy's crazy, but less crazy than before.

I rarely try to orange pill people. But I just met another pilot. On our flight to Spain, we got chatting about value investing. He was a huge Buffet fan, and has put in1000s of hours investing his own pension. I asked him what got him interested in investing, and he told me he listened to a @preston podcast over a decade ago! That was it. This would be easy. A rational thinker who has low time preference AND clearly respects a prominent Bitcoiner. I thought I'd give him the #bitcoin bug in under 10 minutes. Hell, I suspected he might even be a Bitcoiner already. 2 hours later, he's still talking about no dividends, quantum computing and rat poison squared. 😫 I'm doubling down on my stance... Don't try orange pilling unless the other person seems genuinely open minded and curious.

Having an 'anti' role model in your life can be invaluable. Outside of fixing people's teeth, my Dad spent most of his adult life washing his car, clearing leaves and fixing gutters. Structuring my life to avoid this fate has led to some good decisions in hindsight.

You know the Average Joe is feeling inflation when confectionary companies are using it as an emotional hook in their adverts 👀
