Ooh what's that book, the red one, first from the right

Without saying too much, if you have serious generational wealth goals, it might be smart to read up on some history regarding decaying/dissolving empires, who did best during those times and how. Might give you some valuable ideas that could potentially save you.

Turns out meditation actually increases your "frame per second" of observing reality, allowing you to feel less time and more presence, which means you also take in & process more data. This is also why life feels "more" and "more real" for meditators (and the opposite, the more you're dissociated, I think). I remember this weird Russian entrepreneur+biohacker guy who wore hearing aids (to enhance his hearing - he actually had no hearing problems) so he'd be able to negotiate better - bc he'd catch people's smallest tonality changes and whatnot and knew where to push/pull, etc. Imagine that kind of a leveling up, but for your full 5 senses - and more, we shall not talk about here. Makes you way more here, way more real, way more able, and so on. Truly the limitless pill, but better. I wonder where it starts to asymptote if at all.

The sharpest razor I've found for people: The ones who gained "consciousness" at around 12-14 vs 18 and later. Never fails.

Zuck's current self-reinvention is so inspiring, mf is almost 40 y.o now. Been the CEO of a world-changing co for 20+ yrs. Not only rejected Yahoo's $1B offer, but Ballmer's $20B+ offer to sell the co just in his 20s. Most ppl don't realize how many times he's had to reinvent

If your IQ is above 120 + you can focus on the real needle movers - you're actually around ~30 pomodoros away from the life you want (at least v1).

I remember reading a classified booklet for Navy SEALs (I think?) on how to handle/survive in serious crisis situations. Like in a t3rror attack or finding yourself kidn4pped in a bunker or whatever. The primary directive golden rule in a crisis/dire situation, it said, was to only focus on the next step - sometimes it's just surviving the next 10 seconds. Anything else can & will come after. I believe this is almost always the case, it's just that when we're not under serious threat, we mistakenly think and feel as if we have all the time and resources to not be serious (illusion).

If you have ADHD brain simply just leverage AI tools to build fast feedback loops around your biggest goals that turn your life into a video game.

Most ppl don't understand why this tech is VERY important. Lucid Dreaming is basically a AI-like promptable role-play with your (personal + sometimes collective) unconscious, think of it like in-your-mind VR where the content is the deepest parts of you. Edison, Descartes, Tesla.. even fucking Aphex Twin used it to produce their work. If this really works, it's a HUGE unlock for humanity. At least for those who'd know how to use it. Descend, ask the biggest question + get an answer and come back. Sleep, rearrange reality, wake up. Etc Watching this startup closely. If anyone is building a startup or a project or an experiment in a similar vein ("psyche-tech") - contact me, I'll give grants and invest and truly help.

One of the trippiest facts about reality is how your mind-body is making you experience the "cached" version of reality, like 99%+ of the time.. Unless something extraordinary/unexpected happens (prediction error), or you're practising real presence - you're basically living in a weirdly compressed copy (simulation) of reality. This means you are NOT ACTUALLY seeing the screen you're reading this from, right now. You are NOT feeling your body directly. Even the colors and textures you see are in some ways degraded/compressed/cached versions of reality. Your brain probably checked if this is true in real time and you might have felt some subtly perceptual shift visually or sensually - because you took conscious control, a bit. It's not so hard to see: Between "you" and "real reality", there are layers. Some subtler, some more clear but one thing is for sure - you're not having DIRECT EXPERIENCE of reality. Another way to test this is to make a conscious prediction about a regular daily action you take, whatever that might be. Looking out from the window, opening and typing on your laptop, whatever.. Make a conscious prediction (not mentally, but "sense/feel into it") by, for example, how it will feel doing the thing. Then, do the thing fully consciously and being aware of it, and listen to the direct experience - see how it ACTUALLY feels, just observing it with no agenda, just to experience its direct experience. How big is the gap between your prediction (usually from your cache) and the direct experience? Even for the most ordinary things like putting on your socks, you'll be surprised at the delta. And even more weirdly, some of the things you think you actually enjoy or like, etc are completely uncomfortable, unattractive, repelling, etc when you do it this way. Turns out, just like you didn't like the taste of wine or beer but gotten used to it, happen to distinguish between brands, and even love it now etc - you also have slowly grown accustomed to MANY things in your life.. Your cache formed. This is why they talk about how "no one changes after 30" - all of the cache is formed and unless there's a BIG prediction error (=trauma), it doesn't really change. However, very fortunately, we're living in a magical universe and there's this magical thing called the human will, consciousness. With it, and with knowledge, anything can be changed. And that's God's grace.

The deal is pretty simple: You're going to be a high integrity, stand-up guy, do great work, have high standards and be an extraordinary positive to people around you. Bad things will happen, bad people will come around and as long as you keep focusing on these, they won't be able to stay or actually hurt you on the long-term, ever. You'll find yourself living in a reality tunnel where the lowly, the bad, the mediocre, etc can NOT even come into contact with you. Over time, all of this will compound naturally into a point where your life is unbelievably beautiful on all levels. Bad things will happen, bad people will keep coming around here and there. That's life ofc. But as long as you hold yourself fully accountable for everything that happens, people around you & where you're going - and never shirk away from the core outlines of the deal, you'll live an exceptional life. That's pretty much the deal.

You see how much traction this gains.. There's a reason. This is one of the biggest problem points the "could-be" people of the world are facing. High potential but burnt out. Completely fucked up context, almost helpless. There's no way they can win, it seems. And it's true. I've been in a similar place years and years ago, very early on my journey, it was one of the most destructive and painful times of my life, so I completely sympathize with people who are going through this. The problem is, everyone is telling you "do this, do that" but no one is attuned to you, listening to you, can see you. Everyone throws supplements on you, techniques, methods - without even listening or understanding what you're actually going thorough. And the deeper problem is, even you don't know what you're actually going through. If you did, you would've gotten out of it by now. But nothing makes sense. Everything seems to fail on you, everyone, too. You're almost damned. How can this even be? So each year you're getting more used it it and the pain becomes kinda more numb, but the desperation and suffering grows even bigger and more profound. Good thing is, there are ways out. Reliable, proven ones. The issue is, your whole psychic structure is built to resist that, too. So if I told you those, you'd dismiss them right away, or "try" half-assedly and "fail" at them. This leaves you with one thing: You have to get angry. Really, really angry. Punch pillows and break things level of angry. Don't hurt yourself (mentally or physically) or anyone else - bc that escapes the point. But - get as angry as you can. And express it. Your body already knows how. Stop holding back. Stop escaping to the mental story and explanations - your head is your least helpful and powerful ally, it's almost an enemy, even. Get crazy angry, rage. Feel it. Express it. Discharge it. That's the start.

"New Year" is such a good example of a completely made up thing that has good utility. Kinda like money, or coming of age rituals. 31st vs 1st has literally no difference except people celebrate together and believe it's a "new year". And it gives people a new spirit, on different levels. It's a simple and good example to think a little bit on, to understand what rituals are, what symbols are, what consensus reality is. All so fake & all perfectly real.

Easiest way to escape from the matrix completely (no job, no more than 20min/day+ work) is to find/build something that you can just set bidcap Meta ads with & forget. Can passively make $50-100k/mo with 50%+ margins if you're half decent at it. If you build a second one the same way, can even get a summerhouse! Could even autistmaxx and build 50 of these for a mini index fund of digital products that print. The problem is, if you were on a place to take advantage of this alpha, you'd be way more capable to do more with it. And obviously it's not as easy as it sounds (but pretty close to be fair). Thus, kinda useless. Kinda like a beginner-teaser. Enjoy

People talk about "you can either lifemaxx or workmaxx in your 20s". I think that's true for a huge majority of people. For intense people, going truly hard at just one is probably enough. But the actual trick is, if you don't waste time AND truly couragemaxx, no matter what happens, you'll be fine & look back without regrets to this decade.

A criminally underdiscusssed thing is the type of content that one-shot people into some drastic change. You read a book and there's a clear before and after. You watch a documentary and you're changed forever. When it comes to books, Sarno's back pain book is a great one - hundreds, thousands of instances you can read online (and gazillions more irl) where it one-shots people into having less or no pain. Just by reading a book. Or the Easy Way to Stop Smoking book. Same thing. Tens or hundreds of thousands people must've stopped smoking just by reading it. Myself and my dad (previously a 30+ year serious smoker) included. And if you're 25+ y.o, you MUST have known someone who decided to go vegan or vegetarian simply by watching a 1.5hr doc. Tons of these exist, it's insane. Imagine.. DIET - one of the most hardcoded (not only with biology, but also w identity and social norms, etc) things ever for a human, being changed within a very short period of time. If these are not magical, I don't know what you consider as magical. I'm very familiar w the mechanisms behind these effective changes, but it's better if it's not discussed at length here. The only thing is, I think the mindspace online content consumes everyday makes it a bit hard to stick. People's identities have only a few slots for big chunks and that's usually covered by politics nowadays, or their mental illness, for the avg person. And the content they consume is pretty much about it. It's not like 2005 or 2015 where you can just make the thing stick forever, unless it fits this well. Now - tell me in the comments, if you ever had a personal one-shot experience. Could be anything - content, experience, event, whatever else. Where you've had a clear before and after that you feel it truly changed you. From an article to experiencing Jerusalem syndrome, anything counts. Just make sure it's not something that was like "wow" or "impressive" - a REAL CHANGE is what we're looking for here.

What is the best thing you've read in 2025? Book, article, tweet.. Anything.

Brian Armstrong, the genius billionaire CEO of Coinbase ($6B+) was a MAKE MONEY ONLINE BLOGGER before his current thing. Literally selling an eBook, running banner ads, posting about the latest SEO trick.. Never limit yourself. Keep your identity small & eyes on the big prize.

Dream opportunity for the right person I've got a SaaS project in the portfolio, making ~$60k/mo profit - I stil believe in the project but don't have the focus to grow it. It will certainly not be a unicorn but a smart person could push it to mid 6-fig profit/mo with full focus + lots of experimentation (+ my direct involvement and mentoring ofc). If you're a smart, talented and highly hungry + ambitious person - here's the deal: I'll give you decent (30-49%, based on many factors) stake (+quarterly distributions ofc) in the company + $6.5k/mo net to be the head of this project. Your sole task is to double the profits ($120k+/mo) within the first 90 days by doing.. basically whatever it takes. If you fail, I'll replace you. Stake and distributions unlock after this period, salary is from day 1. This shouldn't be too hard for the right person. OK outcome: You succeed and stay but coast around $120-180k/mo profit without jumps, it's doing well, you're earning an insanely good living with systematizing it & this also pays for my living expenses so I treat it like a passive asset. Good outcome: You do very well ($200k+/mo) within the first 90 days and go even faster, saturating this product's potential at $300-600k/mo. Banger. Rich. Great outcome: You absolutely crush it, do wonders that even I couldn't think and dream of with this. You're a multimillionaire within a year. You earn your seat on the table. We do more projects together. No ceiling to this. The ideal person would be great at one skill and very decent at others (building, sales, marketing, ops, etc) - and FAST. A brilliant generalist with an edge. If not, almost certain you won't make it. Some level of technical ability is also needed, to be able to manage devs, etc. I'll share more details personally as needed if I see you fit. This is an excellent offer so I have no doubt I'll receive lots of inbound. My tip is: If you know you won't make it, don't even try. Standards are high with this one, you can't convince me that you're a hustler, give me a chance, etc. And if you truly want this and are qualified, show me with proof - in DMs. Will delete within 24h.
