Happy Father’s Day to the men who didn’t just contribute genetic material, but who have taken on the everyday work of being present and caring for their families 🫶 We need you.

When do you cut people out of your life? Where do you draw the lines when you have disagreements with others? You can't be too rigid... there isn’t a person on the planet who I agree with on everything! It’s difficult to come up with a set of guidelines or rules, but you can just ask, "do I respect them?", "Are they worth listening to?” If conversations with them add to your life, keep them around!

I always decorate the left side of my body. I put my hair on the left side, I have tattoos on the left side. Sometimes I think my right side must feel left out.... but my right side did get the nicer boob. So maybe that evens things out.

Stuff like this irks me. This is elitist and the opposite of why I got into Bitcoin. We all specialize in a task or subject. I have specialized in the technology of money. It's my job to make better tech for people who have chosen a different task. I'm not going to deride others as less than for not having my specialization.

Hilarious! ...but also pretty accurate. There is a line I read in a book once that went something like... 'people who are genuinely racist usually are so because they don't have a better reason to like themselves.'

Red pill podcast bro: Women are submissive! Me with teenage daughters: I don’t think they got the memo.

Risk taking does not make for good leadership. Thoughtful risk taking makes for good leadership. Risk for the sake of risk is wildly destructive —if boldness were the most important factor, toddlers would make the best leaders.

You can't go around telling people to see you as a good person, just like you can't go around telling people to trust you, or respect you. These things are earned & if you have to ask for it, you've lost it.

Ya know if you spend your day Tweeting about what a great person you are, it's probably not true. The best humans I know tend to describe themselves as assholes.

What are the books that permanently warped your mind? Book’s that made you a different person? For me… 1. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass 2. 1984 3. The Sovereign Individual 4. Honoring the Self 5. How to Win Friends and Influence People 6. Lost Connections 7. When the Body Says No 8. What My Bones Know 9. How to Know a Person 10. Come as You Are

I just need to note what a fabulous life I’ve been having with this awesome human. This is from 2009, the year we spent exploring Sydney Australia 🫶

What I really hope is the result of this political drama is disillusionment. I sincerely hope that all this leads to quite a lot of people no longer idolizing the worst most power hungry among us 🤞🤞

Politics...

Everyone thinks Elon is so smart, but dude is in his 50's and just now realized that politicians lie and cheat and abuse?

So it turns out a politician is failing to deliver on promises and might actually be a horrible person. ...least surprising plot twist ever.

What’s worse, when a group openly try to oppress something, or when they instead pretend to adopt it but gut it of all that makes it cool and keep it in name only? I’d say the second is worse.
