YOUR 401K ENABLES ESG

Millions of people are on financial cruise control. EVERY payday by default millions are injecting liquidity into mutual funds comprised of ESG obedient unprofitable companies.

Review and change your investments, investigate a thing called PERSONAL CHOICE RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, these plans available with many retirement custodians like Charles Schwab are the same tax deferred plans but YOU can invest in ANY company or security available and traded that you believe in.

YELLOW trucking announced bankruptcy on a payday. Do you have any idea how many people blindly contributed to their 401K and invested in this failed company to instantly lose money in a defunct company.

This financial cruise control by people enables ESG corps to exist. Take control of your retirement accounts and DEFUND the Globalist and their ESG obsession using YOUR money.

How did it make sense Budweiser took a woke position that killed its profitability? Because the Globalist and BlackRock who "manage" YOUR MONEY have the power to place people on the board of directors at Budweiser that ARE NOT financial invested in Budweiser!

They don't care if they kill Budweiser with ESG signaling because they are not invested in Budweiser, YOU ARE! They are only losing YOUR MONEY provided through mutual funds, pension funds, and all people on financial cruise control with their 401K.

Take control of your 410K!

Decades ago I remember a celebrated accomplishment where "scientist" graphed an orange and peach tree branch onto a lemon tree. The tree grew three types of fruits.

They got bored very quickly, and now Psychopathic "scientist" have been playing with all creations in isolated labs for decades with human, animal, insect, bio-manipulations.

Abominations of human-animal-insect species creations have been implanted into the wombs of "human cell adapted" cattle wombs to create abominations of creations of which some have attained varying levels of sentient human-ape-reptilian species.

Goat-spiders that can spin Kevlar like human skin armor, fish-human hybrids that have developed human jaws in salmon, and many other salmon-insect species, many released into the wild. We are entering a new generation of altered creations that are about to overtake our natural human existence.

What type of meat product grows without a support body.....cancer tumors.

Grow it, grind it, carve it, packet it, disguise it, market it.

Awake yet?

Live your life every day, exactly like the crowd your waiting for, to follow.

The shot heard around the world...

If electric vehicles were the answer wouldn't they be cheaper? Have you ever asked yourself why you don't see poor people driving Teslas? Electric vehicle production is ALL about the tax credits from YOUR pockets funding an inefficient money laundering process. Ask Elon why he stops producing Teslas as soon as he hits the unit limits for kickbacks. EM gets these kickbacks for expanding military expansion into space, it's NOT about MARS just like the "space race" was not about space.

A recent meme has been “Nostr Lyn” where I am more raw here than anywhere else. I love that. Nostr is raw truth. Here is some meat for those willing to be here, purposely enjoying a decentralized and small protocol/community. No filter; just me.

I eat healthy, I exercise, I minimize problems, etc. I am one of those people who, when I first experimented with a keto diet nearly a decade ago, measured my ketones with a blood test on a regular basis to ensure I was in ketosis, and plotted out my blood sugar and ketone level on a regular basis, to see how it matched with my subjective well-being and various biometrics. I was doing science and various if/else observations. And now that I have experience in this dietary regard, both subjectively and biometrically, I am more flexible in terms of seasonal ketosis, broadly low carb, mild/moderate cheat meals at restaurants, and so forth. In other words, I precisely know my dietary limits where I feel bad vs where I feel good generally. I bike most days, and run and lift where possible. I enjoy a nice glass or two of wine with a nice meal on occasion, but little else.

But on those very rare occasions when I disregard moderation, well, fuck. “All things in moderation, including moderation. Sometimes you gotta party”. During the depth of my recent burnout phase in the past two weeks, I went out and… I ignored moderation one night in terms of wine and such. In terms of numbers, I only get hungover like once per year. I do, afterall, live near Atlantic City, which has plenty of clubs and so forth. I don’t even like marijuana, but I did marijuana too (which is legal in this state).

The next morning? Holy shit. I hadn’t been wrecked like that in a few years. Not only was it my yearly fuck-up, it was my multi-year fuck-up. It was a culmination of working 16-hour days with no weekends for months in a row and then the release all at once. My advice: don’t do that if you can help it. Especially if you are in your 30s or older, where you don’t heal as quickly as if you are in your 20s.

I had an interview with David Lin at like noon the next morning and my base case was to cancel it at the last minute due to how rekt I was. But I had *never* done that before, and Lin is an amazing interviewer and an acquaintance of mine, so I couldn’t do that to him, and I knew he could handle it if I was a bit lackluster. Tens of thousands of people would see this.

So, I rolled out of bed, drank some matcha, and somehow got myself in front of my camera to try to replicate what I would normally do every day with no issue. While I was doing it, I felt so off-base, thinking, “Anyone watching will know I’m so fucked right now that I’m like almost half-drunk from last night. This might be my worst interview ever. They’ll notice, right?”

I was almost afraid to go back and watch it. I only watch a small subset of my interviews for iteration purposes, but because this was my potential fuck-up, I went back and watched it closely. And you know what? In terms of views and comments and content, it was above average.

Probably it was because I was so mentally focused at the time to not fuck up. Where I lacked energy, I made up for in focus. I looked for signs in myself in my after-review, and the *only* place I can see it is in my eyes. I often squint during interviews because I am thinking a lot, but in this interview my eyes are constantly squinted/dead because I am barely able to even be there. That’s the only small sign where my multi-year fuckup hangover becomes apparent. All of my verbal content is normal, and leans above average.

After the interview, since I was non-functional, I went back to bed, and vowed not to fuck up like this again. This was my biggest hangover as a serious adult. Sitting there and talking about macroeconomic content for 45 minutes was an all-out massive effort.

But I also learned something, which kind of goes back to my martial arts days, college days, early work days, and goes back to various business memes. A common business meme is, “Most of success is just showing up.” Much of that is actually true, but I would rephrase it as, “Much of success is taking initiative, finding ways to show up, and then be consistent with quality."

You can’t, for example, be 10/10 in most interviews and then 2/10 in some interviews. You need to be 8/10 or better all the time. So, whether it came to my engineering work, my analysis work, my media work, etc. You just have to *fucking show up in good order* no matter what. Consistency of quality. Every single day. You traveled and had jet-lag during an important meeting? Tough. Your baby kept you up all last night? Well, you're paid the big bucks to tank that anyway. You got rekt in Atlantic City? Deal with it.

The first order advice here is don’t drink and party at clubs in Atlantic City the night before an interview or other serious work as a way to relieve an unusual amount of work stress during the prior months of over-work.

The second and probably more important and broad takeaway is about minimizing your weaknesses- when you do fuck up, be able to handle it. We all have moments of weakness. Success is about showing up with intention and quality. When it matters, you need to be there, present. You have to summon the strength to get through an hour about math and macro and sociability or whatever it is that you do, where you are half-dead, where your problems are only visible in your eyes, and just get it done.

I’m better now, but that was a low point. I was still running my research business, concentrating finishing-touches on a year-long book, and just literally working 80 hour weeks. Sometimes we need bursts of that sort of thing but it’s important to minimize it and get back to work/life balance, and ultimately when you are at your lowest, still find a way to be there.

Anyway, this is the current issue of "Nostr Real Thoughts". Enjoy the interview. Spot my failures.

YET ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING, WHEN WILL IT STOP??

I was on an overnight in JFK and I flipped on the TV, they are now propagandizing the EIGHTH BOOSTER SHOT!!

They are trying to sell yet another Covid variant story and saying "if your not vaxxed you should be very scared"....look I've never been vaxxed and I've never been sick, IM A GOD DAMN AIRLINE PILOT, I'm in close isolated proximity with hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life on a weekly basis. If I'm unvaxxed traveling ten thousand miles a week, do you really think people are dying from Covid or is it the shot?

Take it from a pilot that travels all around the country constantly, the propaganda and brainwashing is on crack in places like EWR, LGA, JFK, MSP, SFO, LAX versus the rest of the county. The Pfizer adds and fear Porn are rampant in these cities versus the rest of the country. Pfizer knows their market and is hitting it full force.

I've also noticed what appears to be illegals being integrated into ramp services in airports like DCA. They were training fresh across the boarder arrivals to push back my aircraft for a flight and these South Americans were scared to death of the aircraft. You know, the type that you see in airports sneaking up on escalators and jumping on and off, these kids didn't speak English and all they knew for sure was this jet was going to kill them.

Get with the program America, you are being exterminated while a fresh wave of immigrants are being staged ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY to take your place. You want too much, you cost the gov too much, and you don't want to do the profitable enslavement hard work that's desired.

You are being emotionally manipulated at every turn with woke race sex shit and your too god damn stupid to figure out your being systemically exterminated on every level. Food, water, medicine, air, they are killing you, wake up!

There is no global warming, in many parts of the country it's been the mildest summer ever. Hell, I live in the Midwest and I didn't even fill my pool this year because it's just been too damn cold until this week.

I spoke at a big bitcoin-adjacent company this week and one of the best questions was from someone who asked what the downsides of bitcoin adoption might be.

I always do appreciate these steelman questions, the skeptical questions, the ones where we challenge ourselves. Only when we can answer those types of questions do we understand the concept that we are promoting.

So the classic example is that in modern economic literature, "deflation is bad". This, however, is only the case in a highly indebted system. Normally, deflation is good. Money appreciates, technology improves, and goods and services get cheaper over time as they should. Price of Tomorrow covers this well. My book touches on this too, etc. The "deflation is bad" meme is still alive in modern economic discourse and thus is worth countering, but I think in the bitcoin spectrum of communities, people get that deflation is fine and good.

My answer to the question was in two parts.

The first part was technological determinism. In other words, if we were to re-run humanity multiple times, there are certain rare accidents that might not replicate, and other commonalities that probably would. Much like steam engines, internal combustion engines, electricity, and nuclear power, I think a decentralized network of money is something we would eventually come across. In our case, Bitcoin came into existence as soon as the bandwidth and encryption tech allowed it to. In other universes or simulations it might look a bit different (e.g. might not be 21 million or ten minute block times exactly), but I think decentralized real-time settlement would become apparent as readily as electricity does, for any civilization that reaches this point. So ethics aside, it just is what it is. It exists, and thus we must deal with it.

The second part was that in my view, transparency and individual empowerment is rarely a bad thing. Half of the world is autocratic. And half of the world (not quite the same half) deals with massive structural inflation. A decentralized spreadsheet that allows individuals to store and send value can't possibly be a bad thing, unless humanity itself is totally corrupted. I then went into more detail with examples about historical war financing, and all sorts of tangible stuff. In other words, a whole chapter full of stuff. I've addressed this in some articles to.

In your view, if you had to steelman the argument as best as you could, what are the scenarios where bitcoin is *BAD* for humanity rather than good for it, on net?

A downside of universal individual financial sovereignty is that we all become centrally enslaved to a decentralized technology that is out evolving the humans trying to use it.

A coded low time preference collective consciousness becomes dystopian when put on logical economic cruise control. The modern day 401K has helped enable a dystopian financial system to flourish, energized by unrelenting mindless payday liquidity injections by millions of participants.

A digital hive mind wont find any profitable return on investment for a genocidal intervention half a world away, try crowd funding a Normandy scale Invasion.

Monsters will always exist, and you must be willing and able to become an equal or greater monster to kill one.

What will we become when everything is valued in terms of the same "best" money used only on the same "best" investments. Will all unpopular ideas, individuals, or groups, viewed as "second best" merely become casualties of an unspoken non-consensual consensus logic.

Humans are now capable of escaping the financial enslavement of the Fiat dollar, but are humans capable of escaping the primordial enslavements of their own motivations.

I had three pairs of glasses. One of them broke, and one of them I left at a restaurant during a bitcoin-related business/academic meeting. The last one is half-broke, like it works decently enough but the left hinge is busted and opens too wide, and so it doesn't stay on my head as well as it should.

I usually prioritize my glasses poorly because I only wear them when driving or when I need to read things at a distance (e.g. walking around an airport or other unfamiliar environment). I purposely only wear them when I have to, and do my best to do eye exercises and such in other times, to avoid getting too dependent on them. As a result I tend not to take very good care of them.

I have a pair of prescription sunglasses too, so I've been wearing them, including in some contexts where it's not quite normal (e.g. inside). It ends up feeling like an awkward version of The Matrix.

Before I go to Egypt for the late summer, I scheduled an appointment for an eye exam and a new multi-set of glasses. Most places around me were booked for a full month (labor shortage). With one place that was open, I scheduled weeks in advance but then one eye doctor got into an accident and and their whole schedule changed. So there were *no* eyeglass places within a reasonable distance of me that could do an eye exam, prescribe and manufacture new glasses before I go to Egypt.

So I'm just kind of going there with a busted normal pair of glasses and then my sunglasses, which I'm increasingly getting used to using in abnormal places. I'll probably be walking around the airport in sunglasses. Maybe when I'm there I can get new ones, or just wait until I get back.

Back during COVID, when we all needed tests before travel, I always found it easier to get tests in Cairo than in New Jersey. The US tests were like, "okay we can get them to you in 48-72 hours" which was awkward because the government+airline was like, "we need tests within the past 72 hours". So there was this weird window where they get it to you just in time... or they don't. I had to get a second emergency test for like 10x the cost once, with high stress and extra activity right before the flight, because the first test was too slow and missed their 72-hour timeframe. But in Cairo I could always get one within 24-36 hours without issue.

Anyway, that's my current version of first world problems. Heading to Egypt with broken glasses, and the Egyptian system might ironically fix this faster than I can here in New Jersey. Everything feels weird due to labor shortages.

It's unclear to me how your glasses can be "half-broke" if they are attending Bitcoin meetings with the talented Lyn Alden. Maybe just go with it, and add a long white cane to those dark shades.😎👩‍🦯

Get on the mission...
