The industrial-era employment contract turned work into a binary: • Show up 40–60 hours/week, exactly as told, or get zero income and lose health insurance. • No middle ground: 20 hours? Not allowed. Seasonal? Not allowed. Sabbatical? Rare. Surplus effort for surplus pay? Almost never. This creates the illusion that “retirement” is the only escape hatch. What people actually crave is flexible sovereignty over their time and energy.

Ego tightens - “I must control this” - suffering appears Ego loosens - “this is already being done” - humility floods in This is the original state returning

The aggregate freedom of human beings is directly proportional to the aggregate morality of their behavior. High morality - high trust - low need for coercion - maximum individual freedom

Humans possess intuition, conscience, imagination, and the capacity for love and sacrifice. These cannot be replicated or fully controlled by technology. Never forget.

The infinite game has only one rule: Let the play play itself

My goal is to create. Over the next year I’ll be making and shipping as many useful, wonderfully crafted, value driven things as possible. Bullish. - Homemade lactofermented vegetables - Homeschooling STEM activity boxes - Architectural/3D modeling software teaching services - Architectural design services - Handcrafted wooden bowls/utensils using old growth wood - Grassfed slow cooked beef broth - Custom woodworking projects as requested Hopefully even more as my kids grow and find their own interests. Thanks to @The Bullish ₿itcoiner for providing the rails. Stay tuned!

Patience is not passive waiting. It is active surrender to PERFECT TIMING.

Contentment was replaced with permanent performance anxiety

Once your expenses and modest lifestyle needs are met stop selling your time for money. Every additional hour sold for money is an hour no longer offered to the play itself. Go help others and enjoy life.

@Bitcoin Beans beautiful packaging. High quality product.

Pay close attention to what happens in different contexts and iterate your life to what feels alive in each one.

Teach your kids that there is no losing only learning. That they should prepare for whatever game it is they are playing with unquestionable discipline and dedication and then if they get beat, to respect the opponent and learn from them.

Never judge a man by the creed he possesses but by the life he leads

Relative: Stack sats, get debt free, raise antifragile kids, stay healthy, build parallel systems, ignore politics and main stream news Absolute: hold all of the above lightly, it’s all a game.

The people who “win” respect the rules of the games better than others. But never forget it is still just a game

The goal is to live the relative with 100% responsibility and 0% identification.

“From the absolute standpoint there is no doer and no karma. From the standpoint of the waking state, you must act with full responsibility. Hold both views at once - then you are free in action” Nisargadatta

Me and a friend of mine built a little app to scan prices in the wild and convert to sats in real time. If anyone is interested in testing it out let me know. Should hit the App Store soon. SATsnap or SATscanner? Still workshopping names. @TFTC
