my step dad would always say to me "observe the masses and do the opposite"

ironically, he is one of the most conventional and compliant people I know. 😅

still, he's got some bloody good sayings though.

I'm not a social media guy.

But this pain point drove me to twitter, and ultimately NOSTR. The knowledge density here is high.

People that tell themselves they're not into #bitcoin for Number Go Up are almost as deluded as people who tell themselves their brain works best at night.

Na. it's more like...

I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

That's a wholesome family shot.

Keep making bitcoiners.

I'd honestly plump lower.

it's staggering the amount of people I meet that don't seem to have any introspection, or any curiosity about anything.

They're just happy to watch their favourite sitcom, drink a bottle of wine each night, and play the lottery..

Congratulations!

it's a wild ride.

Just need them to allow my UK salary to get paid into my account, and I'm totally fine with fiat banks.

Your kindle library is like a window into your mind.

Should you ever peer through my window, you see a slightly contrarian, money-hungry individual who's plagued by the shortness of life.

And I'm not sure it's a good thing.

If you don't turn off notifications on your phone, you're a psychopath in my book.

I've been thinking so much about this lately.

Great interview with Derek Sivers where he talks about it...

Before my son turns 1yo: "this parenting thing is horrible. I don't get what all the fuss is about"

After my son turns 1yo: "Ah yeah, this is the best thing ever"

I used to fly with a crazy Dutch guy.

He was a full blown conspiracy theorist.

9/11. Chemtrails. Aspartine. Moon landing. You name it.

I still think the guy's crazy, but less crazy than before.

I never understand women who say men are complicated.

Just stroke our ego / penis.

We're almost pathetically simple.

It's better to have risked and lost, than never to have risked at all.

Massively underrated.

The author is a true gent as well.

I think it's all about finding just ONE piece of quality content that tries to explain it as simply as possible...

Your kindle library is a window into your mind.

If you look through my window, you see a (fairly) contrarian, money-hungry individual who's plagued by the shortness of life.

Not sure it's a good thing!

100% The subconscious impact of this on one's life cannot be overstated

I'm going to wrap a belt around my arm and mainline that note into my bloodstream 💪🏻
