next time you feel like accusing someone of doing something that offends or insults you, ask yourself, would i accuse myself of this?

see only the guiltless in the other person, and you will see yourself as guiltless. Do this and slowly watch your fear and resistance melt away.

Replying to Avatar Lyn Alden

My harshest critic is my husband. Most people can’t honestly say that, but I can.

He’s always my final boss when trying to assert an idea. He’s super smart and usually comes at things from a different angle. And he’s my primary editor. He’s also the head of my website’s customer support center.

Unlike my social media where I shoot from the hip and fuck around, I post detailed articles on my site only after my harshest critic gives me his feedback.

And he doesn’t phrase things like a loving husband normally would. He goes over the top.

He’ll literally put comments on my drafts like “This is fucking right wing trash Lyn. I know you were raised in a trailer park so I don’t expect much, but do better. Rephrase literally all of this.”

That sounds abusive but it’s humorous in practice given our context when working.

We’re not very politically different, but I tend to lean slightly righter than him, so that’s a common source of debate. I pull him right and he pulls me left, not as people who are far apart but who are slightly apart but both opinionated and debate over every inch. It’s on an issue by issue basis.

Mostly he does those comments for humor, but partially because he wants a debate and will bring like a well-researched150 IQ argument to hold the line as I try to argue through his defenses. And I write my research for investment clients of all political views, left and right, globally, as objective as possible, and so he purposely helps keep me straight and steelmans all my arguments for clients.

We debated in the early days about the vaccine in the pandemic, for example, back in 2020 and 2021. We’re still kind of debating about it now in 2025, both granting certain details to the other.

But whenever I write something of substance that is controversial, I know he will read it and call me a retard, which I have to push through and turn into a publishable article.

My social media posts are just me, whereas my long-form posts take time and argue through him.

I often post thoughts and gather comments on Twitter/X, since a lot of tradfi financial pros are happy to discuss. Then I write a piece, and my husband looks through it. I either agree or disagree, and then publish. I get the final say, but I only publish after I’m confident after his arguments.

TLDR; My summary from this whole rambling piece is that I suggest you find a close loved one who will call you a trailer park retard while challenging you on every piece you write while loving you.

Few people will do that but it’s important.

a loved one challenging you to grow? he’s a keeper Lyn. If he speaks Arabic then never let him go. I speak Arabic….what a beautiful language…

The only way to have peace is to teach peace (extend peace to others; see peace in others).

You are the light of the world.

only our own sense of guilt can make us angry. when there is no longer guilt, there is only joy.

Teach only love, for that is what you are.

why is our childhoods defined by video game systems? it’s one way of looking at it, for sure. but i spent my childhood outside until my parents called us in for dinner…

this is psycho planet indeed, but there are plenty of good lessons for us to learn to remove the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence. this world is a classroom and this body, a learning device.

jack, deep down you’re searching for deep inner peace. i was there once. i found it. do yourself a favor and read this book.

the call that is calling you home will always reside in your mind. it waits patiently for you to answer it. do so gladly. you are never alone.

if you want only love you will see nothing else.

right on lyn. this movie was generation-defining & opened up countless minds to realities greater than are present, physical one. it intersected many genres & was on another level philosophically.

as a young man two decades ago, i began the search for significance & meaning in my life outside myself, pursuing everything with ferocity in everything from podium finishes in marathons & ultramarathons, writing novels, relationships, booze, and hobbies.

But all the achievements and pursuits, noble or not, failed to satisfy. I finally realized i would never feel satisfied with anything external to me.

a little over five years ago i began a search for significance and meaning inside myself, calling on my inner teacher, and pursuing truth and true peace. This search within myself is the real search, the real experience, the real journey we must all undertake, whether in this life or a thousand lifetimes from now. This inner peace obtained from the journey within gives me unspeakable happiness and joy. i found the significance and meaning i was looking for, but in the last place i had expected to find it as a young man.
