At some point in your life, you start valuing time more than money. It's honestly a relief.

If you have to check what other people think before taking an opinion, you're exactly the kind of person that probably sold.

You're down 30%. Be thankful because Treasury Stocks are down much more.

When people tell you that incentives don't matter. Show them this story.

All organizational inefficiency will be exploited by rent seekers.

One of life's great joys is when you taste the fruit of a tree you planted long ago and forgot about.

Nothing like feeling pleasantly full. Not anxious, not high, not stuffed. Just satisfied.

If you think from first principles, you'll rapidly come to the conclusion that children are worth having.

Deflate away annoyances.

Treasury companies are the new GBTC.

Nobody really knows what they're doing until they're 40.

Regret is a waste of energy.

Second time doing a 36-hour dry fast and wow, the difference versus a wet fast is startling. Way more energy and way less being cold.

Think about how artificial a 50-year mortgage is. It's 5-7% for some amount that's at least 6-figures where the term is unknown due to possible repayment at any time. Would you take the other side of the trade? Would anyone? The term is too unpredictable, the amount too much and the interest rate not nearly enough for all the risk. Yet these happen all day long because they're not loans created from savings, but loans created from nothing. 50-year mortgages are an abomination. But so are all other mortgages that come from nothing.

The more I look into parasites, the more I'm convinced they modify human behavior significantly, including what food we crave, sexual kinks and much more.
