Unpopular: Influencers are great actually.

If I want to get into a new hobby, niche, subculture etc… there are already like 5-10 top influencers ready to tell me everything I need to know like a decentralized mentor network.

I’ve owned firearms for over a decade, but finally decided to get serious about training. Went on guntube found the top guys, learned the techniques, went to the range, applied them. Six months later I am really fucking good at shooting.

Same thing with weightlifting, running, cooking, macro economics, finance, snowboarding, home improvement stuff. The list is literally endless.

Influencers with good reputations and respect in their communities provide a valuable service in almost every arena.

They lessen the learning curve and that is a huge deal when getting into something.

The only time influencers are bad is when they are imposters. When they’re pretending to be something they are not.

I'm a fart reader, audiobooks feel so slow to me. You can jack up the speed but I find that uncomfortable. I guess I process information more quickly visually than through audio.

My favorite part of this whole Strategic Bitcoin Reserve timeline besides the long term geopolitical implications is the newfound knowledge that the government has a strategic cheese stockpile too.

I mean, do we know what kind of cheese it is? Parmigiano Reggiano, undisputed king of cheeses? It can’t be bleu, that would just be a pile of mold on any long term timeframe. Bleu is the memecoin of cheeses.

when i feel the world around me moving in such a way that its trying to push me into making decisions based on the thoughts, intentions, and opinions of others, i sit back and let the tumult pass, and make calm decisions after the pressure passes. regardless of opinions, or who gets mad about it.

Keep your peace.

Whenever someone emails the Lyn Alden support email, this is who they are dealing with.

He’s judging you for your bad technical decisions.*

*And then afterward will tell me my choice of backend software is retarded.

💯. We need to find and promote the person who pushed through the strategic cheese reserve.

I'm not sure trying to give someone sats and upping the ante until they give in is a good way to convince a person of any idea or to prove a point.

Isn't that bribery?

Influence peddling?

Perfect systems are myths.

does it get harder to find close friends as you get older? or is that just a mindset?

Dating apps are like the concentration camps of love. Everyone is forced into a process of selection based upon opaque criteria of ‘worthiness’ that debases and devalues the humanness of the other. Just a few moments of appraisal based upon a superficial projection that is disconnected from any of the dynamism of what love is; it is a synthetic process where love goes to ‘work for freedom’ into its death. It’s where romance goes to die, and becomes a mythology of longing for all…

So it’s going pretty well.
