Tried not to get wrapped up in the US election too much. Over-promising plus under-delivering is a trend in politics I don't expect to change any time soon... But I did get sent an IG clip by my wife of Kamala Harris taking a phone call, chatting away, talking about someone voting, to then wave to the crowd with her phone clearly on photo mode, so the whole thing was literally "fake news"!

You cannot make this stuff up

WTF

Hi Jake, thanks for the zap. I think you’d really enjoy lifebook. It’s intense but really helps you get aligned.

Can you share a link? There's a few similar looking things on amazon

Parallel Structures

We purchased a home that had some land. We did it to have our own space, a home for our new family, more privacy, somewhere to grow food, raise animals, run a business from. We both like to build, myself Structures and homes, my wife gardens. This gives us so much more freedom.

Hopefully we can hold onto the land. The government definitely wants to take it away from people. Time will tell.

We saved for a lot of years. We got a private loan from family for the rest. I don't like debt.

Hope that helps.

To be completely honest, the one thing that made our dream come true was deep sincere prayer about it and sharing our intentions for the land with God. God made a way for it to become reality when what we wanted seemed impossible

Thank you so much for sharing

Trying to make an investment which requires me to send USD to a bank account in Canada

Swift, Wire, ACH, none of them seem to work via Transferwise due to "US election means can't secure exchange rate"

Whilst the bank I have in UK has a limit on daily transactions and much worse FX rate

Permissioned money... Painful at times

you need to get a VPN that goes outside of australia

i cannot recommend enough wireguard as a basic first step to getting out from a restrictive network... if you know SSH and bash shell stuff you can set up something with a cheap VPS anywhere in the world, even set up multiple, for liek $5/month, and be able to appear wherever you want on the internet to the rest of the world

i get a lot of cloudflare captchas on some sites but i also rarely see a "this site is blocked yada yada" message

i take solace in the fact that the more governments try to stop messages passing across the wires the more incentive there is for other governments to turn a blind eye to letting traffic transit them since that profits their treasury

and that global government is never going to sell. end of.

Amen. Here i am on our new land as a new father. Almost didn't happen. Thank God for his blessings and tools like bitcoin that work for good.

Can you teach me about the process of getting land? Why? How? Etc

Keen to do something similar!

I like this, however I’d like to encourage those men to first BE men. George Gilder in the book Men and Marriage writes, “Civilization is built by men with families to feed.”

1) Get married (no you won’t find the perfect one or be “ready”)

2) Start having children, lots of them

3) Train them up in the Lord, daily

4) When you’re exhausted and wondering how in the world can you do this… you’re right where you need to be. Keep going, it gets better

Jake Woodhouse 1y ago

Amen to all this. Will have a look at that book

Thanks for sharing Jake… this will prompt me to do some work, it’s time for us to update our goals and relevant beliefs to support those goals.

We came across something called, ‘Lifebook’ a few years ago. I call it goal setting on steroids… have you heard of it?

I've not no. But always keen to learn more

Bitcoin's ability to increase purchasing power over time

Is going to enable a whole generation of men to be father's

Rather than 1000's of hours working

They'll be more in control of their time

And therefore be able to focus more on the needs of their kids

A blessing to be a part of

Sustainability focused investment adviser: "AI bad due to energy use, so can't own magnificent 7 equities"

The same sustainability focused investment adviser: "rate cuts good for asset prices, so we like investing in small cap equities"

Was a situation I witnessed today...

On the one hand they look only at energy use, as more C02, and therefore bad, rather than recognise the potential efficiency gains

Whilst on the other, they celebrate inflationary monetary policy of central banks to pump asset prices, ignoring the negative externalities

In short: "impact investing" as they like to call it, or ESG focused investing, is a confused, flawed, and failing form of asset allocation

Some recent work on self-image took me to an interesting place:

- One has to have a clear picture of self image, who you are, ethics, what you want. With that, plus a gamification process, in that it has to be fun, it’s possible to make confident decisions. It is the bedrock of everything, a transformation vehicle, which combines a set of principles. You cannot create more than what your self-image allows for. In that sense it can be a limitation. Point being: what self-image encapsulates your wildest dreams, all come true, at the very same time?

australia has a great firewall now doesn't it?

most countries have government blocks on stuff now

like rutracker.org can't be seen from portugal, but via my wireguard tunnel to bulgaria i can see it just fine

and then, the other day, i had a site blocked in bulgaria, but turn off the tunnel and works from portugal

hooray for VPNs lol

VPN or not I get the same result annoyingly

The more you ask the question "why does a human set the price of money?"

The more you realise how ridiculous it is that we have the balls to suggest we have the capacity to actually do that
