Balance between questioning everything and learning to let be. Bitcoin only, always. 🟠🟣⚡️

That is absolutely insane

Ohhh yess one of my fav books of all time! Such a page turner

Set up a 100 gallon tank outside now that it’s cold out and have been doing cold dips for a week.

This morning the water was 37 degrees…..did 45 seconds and then straight into an arm workout before breakfast.

Never felt better.

Pure water? Zero dissolved solids? Prove it.

lol

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

Not a huge Elon fan but the one thing I did enjoy was his take on global wars right now and how to take a step in right direction, on Lex Fridman podcast recently.

Civilization only makes large improvements to quality of life when moving to a high energy density energy source.

Uranium/Plutonium is so many orders of magnitude more energy dense than anything else we know of it is mind boggling.

Nice, I’m actually still playing Nike right now too, the old victory red full cavity backs!

Mass media has gotten everyone so backwards and turned around I think everyone is more at war with themselves internally than anything else right now.
