Leaning towards making the table of contents into db items and throwing the whole notes in a vector db.

So the table of contents db will track when you studied what and to make questions for each topic it'll do a vector dB query to grab the relevant stuff.

Idk it'd be cleaner if it was all postgres but I think i'd need more preprocessinf

Naive course notes to json working with Gemini-2-flash (free tier)

Its just straight page chunking so it doesn't handle widow/orphan paragraphs or sections but I can upload a barbri torts outline and turn it into json for free

10x-ing your personal agency would mean radically increasing your ability to shape your own life, take control of your decisions, and act with unstoppable momentum. Here’s what that could look like:

1. Extreme Ownership – You stop blaming external factors entirely. Every problem in your life, even those caused by others, becomes something you take responsibility for solving.

• Example: Instead of complaining about a bad job or relationship, you immediately take action—quitting, negotiating, setting boundaries, or creating something better.

2. Relentless Decision-Making – You make decisions faster and with more confidence. No more waiting for perfect clarity; you trust yourself and course-correct along the way.

• Example: If you’re unsure about a business idea, you don’t spend months overthinking. You launch, test, iterate, and refine based on real feedback.

3. Maximized Self-Efficacy – You fully believe in your power to accomplish anything. Obstacles don’t make you hesitate; they fuel you.

• Example: Instead of doubting whether you can learn a new skill, you immerse yourself in it until mastery is inevitable.

4. Unshakable Conviction – You stop seeking external validation. Your internal compass dictates your actions, not social pressure or fear of judgment.

• Example: If you believe Bitcoin is the future, you build your life around that belief, regardless of critics.

5. Preemptive Action – You don’t wait for life to happen to you. You anticipate problems, solve them before they arise, and create opportunities before they’re needed.

• Example: Instead of waiting for a financial crisis to remind you to be prepared, you structure your wealth and assets proactively.

6. Radical Self-Discipline – You become immune to distractions and emotional impulses. Your daily actions align with your long-term goals with near-perfect consistency.

• Example: No more “I’ll start tomorrow.” You execute daily, whether it’s fitness, learning, or building.

7. Mastery Over Emotions – You control your emotions instead of them controlling you. Anxiety, doubt, and fear don’t dictate your actions; you override them with logic and action.

• Example: If you feel hesitant to make a big move, you acknowledge the fear but don’t let it stop you.

8. Network Leverage – You stop trying to do everything alone. You build high-value relationships and use collective power to multiply your impact.

• Example: Instead of struggling solo, you surround yourself with top performers and create value together.

9. Obsessive Execution – You move at 10x speed. What takes others a year, you accomplish in a month by eliminating waste and focusing on the highest-value actions.

• Example: Instead of daydreaming about a screenplay, you finish a first draft in a few weeks and refine it through rapid iterations.

10. Freedom From the Default Path – You stop living according to pre-set societal scripts. You design your own reality with no limits.

• Example: Instead of following a conventional career path, you engineer a life that aligns perfectly with your deepest convictions.

If you had 10x your current agency, you would feel like a force of nature—relentless, unshakable, and utterly in control of your destiny.

What’s holding you back from that level now?

I’ve been delegated the task of making dinner tonight.

My wife said we have to use the asparagus in the fridge and I’ll be headed to the store for the rest.

Shoot me ideas.

IF "the purpose of a system is what it does" THEN

The purpose of our government is to...

> Waste taxpayer money

> Never balance a budget

> Inflate the currency

> Surveil law-abiding citizens

> Enrich criminal insiders

> Fund forever wars

> Expand bureaucracy endlessly

> Bail out failing banks and corporations

> Suppress dissent and alternative viewpoints

> Manipulate markets through crony capitalism

> Pass laws that benefit donors, not citizens

> Use propaganda to manufacture consent

> Undermine civil liberties under the guise of security

> Use fear to justify more government control

> Create problems that justify their own expansion

> Punish whistleblowers while protecting criminals

> Ensure politicians never face real consequences

> Overregulate small businesses while favoring monopolies

> Weaponize tax agencies against political opponents

> Centralize power and erode local governance

To summarize, it was mostly a bunch of people who have no clue what crypto or bitcoin is talking about leading innovation in digital assets. lol. The last reporter’s question brought in the only mention of bitcoin. She asked specifically about Trump’s campaign promise of a bitcoin reserve. The answer was that the feasibility of a bitcoin reserve is the first thing they will be looking into, and mentioned that it was something separate from the sovereign wealth fund.

Another notable quote to demonstrate their level of competency: “You’ve got your actual crypto, like Bitcoin, but then what it runs on is blockchains, and there’s a lot you can do with that new computing technology.” LMFAO these people have no clue wtf they’re talking about and they’re going to “lead” in the space 🤣
