Don't put off having children until later because 'career'. Children are the purpose of life.

Workout, your 40 year old self will thank you.

when you decide you are going to argue with your lady, instead, shut the fuck up

it's usually the correct answer

Most bad news or circumstances turn out good or even better in the long term. Just stand your ground and focus. It will be good!

Take a 3 seconds pause before you start reacting. 🐶🐾🫡

The waiting for marriage bit usually gets push back, but all the people I know who married and had kids young are divorced and broke.

What used to work isn't necessarily going to anymore. Culture and economics have massively changed. Take your time to mature, build wealth, and find a good quality partner who has done the same.

Thank me later when you're not divorced and broke in your 30s.

Cultivate a relationship with the Lord, our creator. Follow your divine spark dream, the one that is planted in your spirit. If you don’t know what it is yet, keep patiently exploring until you do!

treat everyone as you would like to be treated yourself. build friendships, give more than you take. and don't be afraid to travel the path less trod, they are where the magic lies.

these were shared by my grandmother. turns out, she was absolutely right.

my twist: live it like there is no tomorrow. it's a hell of ride 🙃

read old books

Read any two books per week your curiosity leads you to read, for five years at least.

Think, talk/teach, and/or write about what you're learning during that time.

You will become exceptionally well educated and more intelligent. You will also become more articulate, and articulate men are dangerous men.

Then use your powers for good.

If I could only give one, it'd be to do Jordan Petersons self authoring program as truthfully as possible.

If I could give a second, realize you're still basically retarded until you're 25 so just emulate your master's until you've nailed down their system for 3 years or so and then you can make modifications.

If I had to be philosophical, it'd be to imagine Sisyphus happy.

Wow, thank you for sharing this insightful article! Can't wait to read it and gain some helpful perspective on achieving mass adoption. #mustread

nostr is still mainly used alongside twitter. in the best rare case, as a replacement. and only because people are running away from something about twitter they don't like.

there is nothing that people want to run to nostr for yet. zaps were promising, but bitcoin is still a hurdle (one that primal is doing the best at overcoming), and it's doubtful lightning could scale to a massive adoption moment.

nostr needs a feature or experience that's unique and sets it apart. i *think* that is the ecosystem of microapps over the long term...but it's definitely not in the short term. and that might be ok.

for twitter the initial draw was the simplicity and weirdness of 140 characters (we started with zero network effect, facebook had it all...that's built over time). later it became the conversation which lead to the "public square" (owned by a private corporation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). and then as it grew, it had a single point of control/failure people could attack.

nostr doesn't have to worry about that last bit. it's an incredible feature. but not one the average person cares about (no matter how much they yell "FREE SPEECH!"...if people actually cared about free speech, bitcoin and nostr would be all they used...they don't).

all this to say, we're not doomed. but what we think is the killer feature isn't right now. who's going to discover the one that is?

My point:

nostr is a protocol as is http, smtp, ssh.....

Google is a website that uses http as its underlying protocol

Damus is an app that uses nostr as its underlying protocol

Ask if Damus, Primal zap.stream, OxChat are easy to use.

Don't ask if nostr is easy to use.
