And somewhere in there I'd say there's a fourth decision: When you decide to change your status signaling from things like beauty, power, and material achievement, to things like integrity, competence, and helpfulness.

Almost everyone is geared toward signaling. As social creatures we're deeply wired to signal value to others.

But there's a lot of flexibility in how we signal that.

-We can signal it with shallower things like beauty, lambos, hierarchical dominance, etc. The details will vary between men and women but they have a similar short time preference that few old people on their deathbed wished they had focused more on.

-Or we can signal it with deeper things like integrity, honesty, helpfulness, friendliness, generosity, providing unique thoughts, or providing wisdom. The details will vary based on profession and skillset but they also have a similar long time preference that most old people on their deathbed wished they had focused more on.

Low interest rates in a free market indicate that the people in that civilization have a low time preference. Central banks lowering interest rates is trying to bring forth the fruits of low time preference without any of the work.

I know that it's rough out there and a lot of aspects of clown world can get you down, however constantly looking for negativity in everything isn't helping. Look for the positive. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Discrimination is a real issue. It sucks.

Most people complain about it when they are discriminated against. And to some extent, they should. They should tell their networks about people who are bad actors.

But you know what you should do most importantly? Be so fucking good at your job that nobody with a right mind can resist hiring you.

That's what. Pursue excellence.

this #bitcoin price action has me VERY bullfrogish

And dont wait until you get old.

So buy some… if you’re feeling bold.
