the connection between health and wealth ultimately comes down to resilience

you want to be physically resilient, mentally resilient, emotionally resilient, professionally resilient, and financially resilient

lift, read, detach, build, & save

strength is the ability to withstand harm, and you get it by preparing for misfortune while it's nowhere to be seen

wow

very cool, nice work 👏

and it becomes more beautiful the more you learn about it

Truth makes for a very uncompanionly companion. Not warm, not comforting, not connected. Just true.

—Jed McKenna

looking forward to it!

it's a pleasure to be enduring bondpocalypse bankgeddon with you all here in the nostrverse where the money is hard, counterparty-free, and zappable 💜

my gym is closed today and excuses are for losers so

it's amazing how much better nostr is at being twitter than twitter is at this point

untrustworthy until proven trustworthy.

the default should never be confidence it should be skepticism, especially when money is involved.

and money is always involved

"I would like to share with you just three cardinal rules of my ability and longevity:

1. Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you coming

2. Slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be and

3. The top of one mountain is the bottom of the next, so keep climbing."

—Andre De Shields

the "con" in "con men" is short for confidence. con men are skilled at instilling confidence in their mark, earning their trust before duping or stealing from them

remember this when you hear someone assure you that confidence has been restored and that you can trust them 🚨

"The propaganda of death and destruction, emanating ceaselessly from the mass media, adds to the prevailing atmosphere of insecurity. Far-flung famines, earthquakes in remote regions, distant wars and uprisings attract the same attention as events closer to home. The impression of arbitrariness in the reporting of disaster reinforces the arbitrary quality of experience itself, and the absence of continuity in the coverage of events, as today's crisis yields to a new and unrelated crisis tomorrow, adds to the sense of historical discontinuity—the sense of living in a world in which the past holds out no guidance to the present and the future has become completely unpredictable."

—from 'The Culture of Narcissism' by Christopher Lasch (1979)

lots of chancellors on brinks these days

all the best truths are harsh

loving the radio silence from all the fancy tech vc's about nostr, zaps, podcasting 2.0, and value-for-value despite all their cRyPtO thought leadership over the years

no grift to be had here. just sincere appreciation using the hardest money in history.

move along amigos 🤙

those yolks! 😍

yes

"Like every other tax, inflation acts to determine the individual and business policies we are all forced to follow.

It discourages all prudence and thrift.

It encourages squandering, gambling, reckless waste of all kinds.

It often makes it more profitable to speculate than to produce.

It tears apart the whole fabric of stable economic relationships.

Its inexcusable injustices drive men toward desperate remedies.

It plants the seeds of fascism and communism.

It leads men to demand totalitarian controls.

It ends invariably in bitter disillusion and collapse."

—Henry Hazlitt, from 'Economics in One Lesson' (1946)

ah, thank you! 🙏

big yes, well said 💯
