What does it mean to be a man?

Simple formulas for a good life (simple, but not easy).

Getting rich

• Spend less than you earn. Wealth is built by saving more than you spend and investing the difference.

• Invest early & consistently. Small, regular investments compound into massive wealth over time.

• Avoid bad debt. High-interest debt works against you—pay it off fast and focus on assets.

Being Healthy

• Burn more than you eat. Weight loss comes down to a simple calorie deficit.

• Exercise + good food = longevity. You need both for long-term health—one alone isn’t enough.

• Prioritize sleep. 7–8 hours a night improves mood, focus, and physical health.

Relationships

• Trust + honesty = strong bonds. Without them, relationships crumble.

• Listen more than you speak. Understanding comes from truly hearing others.

• Quality > quantity. A few deep relationships bring more happiness than many shallow ones.

Personal Growth

• Effort > talent. Hard work beats raw talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

• 1% better daily = massive growth. Small, consistent improvements lead to big results.

• Discomfort = growth. Growth happens outside your comfort zone—lean into challenges.

• Self-discipline = freedom. Control your habits, and you’ll control your life.

Productivity

• Focus on the vital few. The 80/20 rule: most results come from a few key efforts.

• Do one thing at a time. Multitasking reduces quality—focus wins.

• Plan your work, work your plan. A clear plan saves time and effort.

• Tackle the hardest task first. “Go ugly early” to gain momentum.

These are all simple, but not easy. Deploying these formulas in your own life will require effort and perseverance.

We are watching this play out in real time, all around us...

I also think it's the future. I forwarded another video on bitcoin mortgages and bonds to a mortgage broker friend on the city council. He's ambitious, maybe he will pursue it. Someone will, and they will dominate long term debt.

Why "I don't trust Michael Saylor" from R/Bitcoin

Let’s make a deal.

You say something true below and I zap you 615 sats.

If you’re a Canadian that boo’d the American national anthem tonight I am so grateful for you.

Thank you.

"The poll reached more than 1,500 adults between Feb. 7 and Feb. 10, but can't be assigned a margin of error because it was conducted online."

We know it's bullshit, but we're publishing this propaganda anyways.

There is literally nothing that the mainstream media reports that my mother will not believe and nothing that they haven’t reported on that she will

The endless graft, prostitution, and sycophantry found in contemporary social media is so endlessly dark and nihilistic that you would really think it’s just a dark forest out there. A pointless dark world where lies, theft, and guile are the only form of real power. That there is no purpose, reason, or greater meaning to life itself—just a black nothingness.

Truth is there is something much greater to this existence, and that is much more scary than nothing at all. It means we actually have a purpose and reason for existence, and that these projections of darkness are really just a means of manipulating all of us. The media apparatus projects the shadows on the walls and gives microphones to the most callow and anxious to make these shadows real. While they are little more than shadows on the walls, most people will believe it because they too are in bondage, chained before the wall, incapable of turning back to see how the sunlight is manipulated for such dark purposes.

Most people are good and are deeply craving a world of honor, dignity, and reason; they are just incarcerated into a fiat bondage, and conditioned through fear and terror. We have all just been captured by a fiat world view for so long that to reason outside and beyond it without a means to fight it (i.e. bitcoin) is utterly impossible. That is why the understanding of what bitcoin offers in contrast to fiat is so important, as it becomes a way to see through the dark forest and understanding that it is not dark at all, but merely a projection of power, a means of control through presenting only one view. To turn and see how the light is projected to make this dark forest, the shadows on the wall creates a new and different means of power. A power of reason and meaning, where the possible of breaking the chains of bondage is a real possibility, but only with this knowledge.

The current tariff situation with the U.S. is exposing a clear divide: those who have grit and those who are complete pussies and crumble under pressure.

I’ve lost a fair amount of respect for some friends who are paralyzed by panic, unable to seek solutions, and content with endless complaining and crying.

If you refuse to focus on what you can control and instead obsess over what you can’t, we simply won't see eye to eye. I can't stand the stench of weakness.

The federal government has been shut down for over a month. The same politicians—who will lose the next election—are using state-funded corporate media (to the tune of $100 million a year) to push the narrative that failing to fall in line with their "Team Canada" approach makes us traitors.

Think about that. The very people who froze Canadians' bank accounts, shut down the country for the flu, coerced citizens into taking an experimental vaccine, sold off our gold reserves, stalled nation-building projects, and inflated the money supply—among other things—are now calling us traitors.

Thankfully, provincial premiers are stepping up in the federal government’s absence. These leaders will be rewarded in the long run for doing what’s necessary. Those who continue to side with a weak and failing federal government will face the consequences.
