- Nobody who’s actually good at making money needs to sell you a course on it.
- Elon’s stance is principled. Trump’s stance is practical. Tech needs Republicans for the present. Republicans need Tech for the future. Drop the tax cuts, cut some pork, get the bill through.
- The smartest people are all self-taught, even if they went to school.
- Panic led to lockdowns. Lockdowns led to fiscal stimulus. Stimulus led to inflation. Inflation led to monetary tightening. Tightening leads to recession. The panic wasn’t free - and the bill is coming due.
- Bitcoin is an exit from the Fed. DeFi is an exit from Wall Street. Social media is an exit from mass media. Homeschooling is an exit from industrial education. Remote work is an exit from 9-5. Creator economy is an exit from employment. Individuals are leaving institutions.
- You can’t have a body without skin, a house without walls, or a country without a border.
- If your smartest friends start saying crazy things - pay attention. A paradigm shift may be underway.
- Elon’s purchase of Twitter was the single most consequential act of the last decade. It restored free speech, broke the Overton window, and enabled the second American revolution.
- Replying to @navalSeek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.
- Replying to @navalLearn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.
- Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate. Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own. Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society. Make these habits. Say no to everything else. Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media. Relax. Victory is assured.
- Replying to @navalYou’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.
