Bay Area Bitcoiner, dad, pets galore, enjoying being a part of the Nostrevolution.

Bob would just pass the doobie, no hate. Just music and ganja and some love mixed in.

Pretty sure they were just talking about landed white dudes. No ladies, no poor trash and definitely no darkies. Can’t just read the words… gotta take the whole thing in context. As Al said, it’s all relative. With that said, still freaking revolutionary.

Reality bends when you play with it. If you’ve never dabbled in Reality Transurfing or felt the glitch in the matrix firsthand, buckle up—this one’s wild.

I’m in Tulum for the week, hosting a retreat that kicks off tomorrow. Sun’s out. Fresh raw milk, vibrant orange juice, and crisp water bottles in hand (unfortunately, in plastic. I know I know. No bueno, but had to work with it).

We’re moving into a unit offsite from the retreat center since the main one filled up. The place has that mix of wealth, jungle, and lowkey chaos that keeps things interesting.

We load up the car, make the first trip inside, and, instead of hauling everything at once (because not enough hands) I casually say, “Ha ha, watch these not be here when we get back.” Sarcastic, of course.

Five minutes. That’s all it took. We come back—gone. All three bottles.

Not a huge deal. But weird.

The car? Left unlocked. Inside? My $2,000 handpan, a full grocery haul, my bag—untouched. Just the bottles, sitting on the side of the car, totally exposed, vanished into thin air.

Alright. Time to play.

Dakota said he’ll stay back to settle in as we go get more water (devastatingly, the milk can’t be replaced at this moment).

Me and Sedona lock eyes. No stress. No “why me.” No frustration. We’re gonna find them. No logic, just pure confidence. Reality is malleable.

So we go on a mission. Intuition leads. No GPS, no mapped-out plan. Just, “Turn here, this feels right.” A one-way street? Perfect. A little side road? Even better.

A minute later, we pull up to an apartment complex. There’s a rusty old two-wheeler cart, two little kids chilling on top, and a guy near the dumpster. Sunlight pouring down, 4PM golden glow. And what’s peeking out of that cart?

Our raw milk and water bottles.

I get out of the car. No hesitation. No pleading. No weird energy. Pure, confident retrieval mode. I pick them up, look him dead in the eyes, and just say:

“No más.”

He looks. Shrugs. We walk away, bottles in hand, laughing like we just beat the final boss of the Matrix. Because we kinda did.

We didn’t stress. We didn’t get lost in emotions. We knew reality was bending in our favor, and it did.

Could’ve been an “ugh, I lost something” moment. Instead? We alchemized it. No victimhood, just play.

And that’s the key: You are literally shaping your reality, moment to moment. Every thought, every belief, every decision is either reinforcing the same predictable patterns—or shifting you into something new.

That’s why I love this work. Hosting retreats, diving into these deeper truths, watching people wake up to their own creative power.

So next time something “happens to you”—step back. What if it’s happening FOR you? What if you can just… play the game differently?

When it comes to AI, philosophical people often ask "What will happen to people if they lack work? Will they find it hard to find meaning in such a world of abundance?"

But there is a darker side to the question, which people intuit more than they say aloud.

In all prior technological history, new technologies changed the nature of human work but did not displace the need for human work. The fearful rightly ask: what happens if we make robots, utterly servile, that can outperform the majority of humans at most tasks with lower costs? Suppose they displace 70% or 80% of human labor to such an extent that 70% or 80% of humans cannot find another type of economic work relative to those bots.

Now, the way I see it, it's a lot harder to replace humans than most expect. Datacenter AI is not the same as mobile AI; it takes a couple more decades of Moore's law to put a datacenter supercomputer into a low-energy local robot, or it would otherwise rely on a sketchy and limited-bandwidth connection to a datacenter. And it takes extensive physical design and programming which is harder than VC bros tend to suppose. And humans are self-repairing for the most part, which is a rather fantastic trait for a robot. A human cell outcompetes all current human technology in terms of complexity. People massively over-index what robots are capable of within a given timeframe, in my view. We're nowhere near human-level robots for all tasks, even as we're close to them for some tasks.

But, the concept is close enough to be on our radar. We can envision it in a lifetime rather than in fantasy or far-off science fiction.

So back to my prior point, the darker side of the question is to ask how humans will treat other humans if they don't need them for anything. All of our empathetic instincts were developed in a world where we needed each other; needed our tribe. And the difference between the 20% most capable and 20% least capable in a tribe wasn't that huge.

But imagine our technology makes the bottom 20% economic contributes irrelevant. And then the next 20%. And then the next 20%, slowly moving up the spectrum.

What people fear, often subconsciously rather than being able to articulate the full idea, is that humanity will reach a point where robots can replace many people in any economic sense; they can do nothing that economicall outcomes a bot and earns an income other than through charity.

And specifically, they wonder what happens at the phase when this happens regarding those who own capital vs those that rely on their labor within their lifetimes. Scarce capital remains valuable for a period of time, so long as it can be held legally or otherwise, while labor becomes demonetized within that period. And as time progresses, weak holders of capital who spend more than they consume, also diminish due to lack of labor, and many imperfect forms of capital diminish. It might even be the case that those who own the robots are themselves insufficient, but at least they might own the codes that control them.

Thus, people ultimately fear extinction, or being collected into non-economic open-air prisons and given diminishing scraps, resulting in a slow extinction. And they fear it not from the robots themselves, but from the minority of humans who wield the robots.

Humans gonna human. What happens when someone’s AI turns malicious towards pesky humans? The stuff great books and movies are made of.
