Friend of mine asked me yesterday what I do for exercise these days. Run at the track, play Padel, do pushups (one set of 54, my age, every other day). He said, you don’t do yoga? Told him a good yoga place opened three blocks from my house, was going there a few years ago, but in the men’s changing room saw a dude put down his book, it was some climate change bullshit by Bill Gates. And it dawned on me these people were HIGHLY vaccinated, and in a sweaty crowded yoga room in early 2022 were probably shedding like dogs. Imagined I was in a soup of spike protein. Never went back, just stuck to the track where I stretch afterwards against a tree.

Sports is one of the last bastions of human excellence, where greatness is rewarded, politics is minimized. The devotion of a high-level professional athlete dwarfs virtually anything normies can even fathom. If you want to witness greatness, watch the Sinner-Alcaraz final today. Two of the greatest athletes ever to step on a court, playing at their absolute peaks. "Bread and circuses” is just some shit you heard somewhere and thought it was cool to repeat. View quoted note →

I feel sorry for all the nerds that don't have so much financially and emotionally invested in the NFL games that kick off today at 1 pm. By around 2 pm, I will realize how miserable being attached to NFL outcomes is, but that first hour will be glorious.

The people who are still defending the CDC, the trans mania and the covid response will never be reached by logic or evidence. They went all-in on belonging to their tribe, and they are pot committed. Bullshit like reasoned argument and facts is not going to move them one iota. If it did, they wouldn’t still be where they are. The only thing that will move the needle for them is when their tribe starts to abandon them for having those views. That’s it. There’s nothing you can do, but cut bait.

Pro tip: if you want to make a post that gets zero engagement on nostr, talk about sports. The nerds on this protocol have zero interest in sports. Not saying that’s good or bad (actually I am saying it’s bad), but people like what they like. The remedy for this is I will post more about sports. As Steve Jobs said, don’t give people what they want, but what they don’t yet know they want. My entire timeline is what you don’t yet know you want. Step into the future you autistic little bitches. You will be betting life-changing amounts of sats on NFL by the time I’m through with you.

I really like nicotine, but nicotine on demand is spiritual poison. As much as I'd like to buy a pack of Velos, I know it's a mistake. Better off sticking to 2-3x weekly cigars.

I'm in an $18M NFL survivor pool (had to go to Vegas to sign up in person.) Here are the picks for the first week. Literally 24 gigachads paid the $1K entry fee and failed even to submit their picks! Talk about late-stage fiat! FWIW, I took the Eagles on Thursday night, rooting for chaos and carnage today. image

Watched the women’s US Open final last night, bad match. Anisimova plays like I do in Padel — hit everything as hard as you can, occasionally make winners. Malpractice in a Grand Slam final.

Amazing to see people still trying to defend the CDC. The "experts" ran things for 50 years, and they SUCKED at their jobs. They presided over mass disease, disability and premature death, while squandering trillions and being grotesquely conflicted. Firing them is positively benign — they should be thanking God if that’s all that’s in store for them after the catastrophic harms they caused. That’s like a 99th percentile scenario in human history for people in their position who got the results they did.

Perfectly understandable to post anonymously if you live in a police state like Canada, the UK, Australia or Germany, but if you live in the US, you should really dox yourself via vlog when you have a moment.

I don’t know what subset I’m in. I doubt I fit into a subset. I see no problem investing in real estate and stocks, not so much to “diversify” but because there are advantages to those investments too. Real estate you can use, store your things in. Stocks you can sell without conscience if they go up. Fiat is good for selling and taking fiat profits to spend on things you want. I would buy shitcoins if I thought there were a use-case for them that made sense to me. I just don’t get it, so I don’t do it. I’m not on anyone’s team. I’m not in it for “improving humanity” or any other kind of busy bodying or moral preening. I want a good life for myself, my family and my friends. I hope other people have good lives too, but that’s not my main responsibility. As far as defending the freedom to transact over a protocol, you never know how a person will behave until push comes to shove, but I post under my own name, so I can’t just blend in and pretend to know nothing about any of this should the authorities crack down as MANY anon handles will surely do. What? Not me. Never heard of it, don’t know what you’re talking about. View quoted note →

People who were wrong about everything by definition don't know they were wrong. Keep that in mind when you see people you'd expect to hide from public view forever expounding on things without conscience.

Watching US Open. Only possible obstacle for Alcaraz is mental. He hits the ball better and harder than anyone I’ve ever seen play. Just a different animal.

Probabilistic thinking is for when you don't know. For things you know, it will lead you astray.
