NFTs are the definition of a pyramid scheme MLM.

Everybody suddenly becomes super libertarian when it comes to cryptocurrency and NFTs, and then turn around and say what’s wrong with government mandates for the greater good and tax the rich.

Whenever you tend to point out the fact that the dollar is backed up by the government but cryptocurrency or NFTs aren’t, they flip and just say who needs the government.

It’s like the guys who scream defund the police when they have private security.

Don’t get me started on the hypocrisy behind cryptocurrency enthusiasm.

They only don’t want government interference in their lives unless it’s convenient and drives forward their regressive agendas.

Your skills, knowledge, intelligence, abilities, expertise, capabilities, and competence. Who you are, what you do, and how good and rare or vital you are at what you do. In other words, how capable you are of significantly contributing back to society, and providing others with value and help.

Forget about the stock market. Forget about real estate, passive income, or cash flow. Forget also about money sitting in the bank without ever being invested.

Nothing is going to save you at times of economic depression or recession, or from inflation, unless you’re a multi billionaire, especially cryptocurrency, which would pretty much be worthless whenever shit hits the fan, except how capable you are of making money during any tough time. The only thing that would guarantee you not becoming poor during any of these situations is not how much money you have, or even money generating assets, but who you are and what you can do to make or earn money. Just make sure during times of economic crisis that you are not entirely useless.

Many people commit to doing the grunt laborious work first because they don’t want to do the thing that requires the most thinking and the thing that will improve them the most.

Imagine not wanting to create something in solitude for a few minutes because you don’t want to feel lonely.

As if you will not be lonely if you get sucked into an endless scroll hole.

As if you can’t feel super lonely in a stadium packed with countless people. Real humans that you can interact with face to face and can touch (consensual physical contact of course).

As if you can’t feel lonely stuck at a cubicle in a corporate job.

As if you can’t feel lonely while talking to your spouse for hours, even though you’re trying to communicate and be quite understanding.

It has nothing to do with creating content or working in isolation.

Don’t say you’re posting less because it makes you feel lonely again.

Never forget!

I love how mainstream media is rushing to defend Muslims on such a day as if they are the ones who were hurt or attacked in 9/11.

And that you have some phobia if you dare criticize Islam for being the inspiring ideology behind 9/11 and countless other instances of terrorism.

This should be our entire focus and concern, because fuck America, right?

How dare you discriminate and make them feel bad. How dare you.

Shameless.

Unbelievable…

Whoever told you that hypocrisy exists on the left only is hugely mistaken. There’s an abundance of it on the right as well. No shortage of that.

Imagine that the same people outraged about any kind of mandates even if they work, even if they are for your own good and the good of all others, because it’s a matter of principle. It’s a matter of autonomy, of human rights, of freedom, of doing what you want. Imagine that these same people have no problem with telling you that telling women what to do with their own bodies is no big deal.

Whenever they are told: ‘but you’re harming others with your freedom?’ They say there is nothing that justifies taking our freedoms from us or giving up on our freedoms for. There will always be a reason that the government will try to claim is strong enough to infringe upon our freedoms and rights. This is a pathway to full blown authoritarianism, dictatorship, or tyranny, whether it’s communism or otherwise. And on that we agree.

My body my choice, even if this could lead to the spread of something that could kill other people. Even if they work, they still won’t do it, because it’s inconvenient, and since they are free to do what they want, because this is their own body, then they simply have the right not to do it, with disregard to the consequences of that action or behavior upon other people. If other people don’t like that, then they should stay away from them. Simple as that. Even if what’s at stake here is other people’s lives. And on that we agree. No excuse for taking away your freedom. No justification for compelling or forcing you to do something with your body against your will or consent. That door if opened can never be closed again. The end game is total absence of all rights and freedoms because the state or government says so.

Whatever happened to libertarianism and the love affair they have with a small government.

Cognitive dissonance at its finest. Love it.

It’s a matter of freedom, even if the shot works and is harmless, they say. And on that we agree.

Still they had no problem with telling a woman what to do or not do with her body, because the Bible says so. Because her behavior impacts other people’s lives.

I just wanted to point out that absence of insane levels of hypocrisy cannot coexist with being religious. They are mutually exclusive.

Most of what you take for granted in the west is considered not only a dream elsewhere, but preposterous madness.

Most men in the middle east still think of women as private property that they should just try to appease by pandering to the circulating new narrative that they are equal to men that came from the west just to have their way and then they can do what they want behind closed doors. None of them actually believe in gender equality or even that they shouldn’t treat women worse than animals.

Still the problem is exacerbated by the fact that women over there enable such behavior because it is totally normal and moral according to the standards set by the one and only creator of the universe.

Some think women are just afraid to speak out and are just pretending to be okay with such abuse and regressive ways of life and oppression because they have no choice or they can’t say otherwise or else they would be in physical danger.

This is only in extreme cases like the Taliban, ISIS, …etc. I was referring to places and countries that are not taken over by terrorist organizations. I don’t blame women in territories under the control of absolute religious fundamentalists. This is totally not their fault. On the other hand countries that are considered secular or moderate, they fit the description I made earlier, where women are part of the problem due to being too deep in the religious indoctrination and brainwashing. Think women who call the hijab a symbol of empowerment for example. Who preach why women belong in the kitchen and should obey her husband no matter what even if they still have the opportunity for education in those so called moderate or secular majority Muslim countries.

Your head fights with you because it doesn’t have what it will have after the achievement yet before the achievement.

It’s like when you’re dehydrated and can’t think how you are going to get some water to drink.

That fight is just a failure of the brain to regulate negative thinking due to the lack of enough achievement in your life or at least in your day.

Do not try to shut it down. It will shut itself down when things get better on its own.

Don’t waste your time fighting with your mind when this fight is not going to fix or change anything. There are better things to do.

Various thoughts.

One important thing that will help you become more productive is to not be concerned with how cool you look while doing it. Whether you’re afraid or not is irrelevant. Hitting the goal and making progress is the only thing that makes the difference.

One thing that everybody seems to low-key sweep under the rug is the fact that most people who had their reels blow up fast were already starting with accounts with about 7k followers for example. And they turn around and act as if everybody could get the same rate of growth with 2000 followers.

Sometimes you’re the only obstacle standing in your way. Don’t hold yourself back for any reason.

The crisis of meaninglessness is everywhere, not just the west. The media in authoritarian countries just sweeps all evidence of similar stuff under the rug and pretends it never happens.

I always cringe when I hear someone say don’t take yourself or your life too seriously. What else you got could be any more serious? You are important. Start acting accordingly.

What if I told you that the reason you’re reluctant to initiate a mediation session is that if you set a timer for too long you’ll be trapped until the session is over, if you’re not ready for more at the moment, but you can’t terminate the session right now because you promised, or you can’t keep thinking unchecked because you are threatened to be interrupted by the very same timer that you’ve set to ring after a period of time that is shorter than you need right now?

To bypass this moral dilemma you can simply use the stop watch instead, and keep meditating until you feel it’s time to get out, leave, or terminate the current mediation session. This way you won’t be stuck or trapped longer than you need to or can handle at the moment.

Brilliant, isn’t it?

I amaze myself.

Your body resents you because you are not doing enough to save it. To make the pain stop. You know you can do better, and putting up with such abuse or suffering is unbearable and unacceptable.

Changing your circumstances to the better in this case is not a luxury. And how quickly you save yourself makes all the difference in terms of how much despair you will feel after things start to improve or after you’ve already escaped that horrible situation or these unlivable conditions.

Fixing your environment is of utmost importance. Really almost all of the frustration comes from not doing anything to change your circumstances, but instead choosing to hang in there indefinitely and see what happens.

You will only get new ideas when you create long enough and get fed up with the quality of what you’ve already produced a ton of.

The pathway is something like this: You are a normal person. You keep creating normally and improving gradually like any kid who is learning how to walk.

If you have suffered in your life enough or beyond a certain threshold, your focus goes toward survival only, and hence finding no reason to make something that does not necessarily increase your chances of survival.

In this case, you have no option but to teach yourself that you have no problem with doing stuff with no expected outcome whatsoever, because the anhedonia makes you aspire for nothing but wanting whatever that is going on at the moment or whatever that you’re doing to be over,  because nothing that you ever do makes any difference anymore.

That is, being okay with getting no reward from the normal achievement pathways, by creating anyway with no concern for reaching any positive outcome, in order to bypass the reluctance of the idiotic primitive centers to give you pleasure from normally rewarding behaviors, while attacking them from another frontier simultaneously, by doing all the negative thinking for them voluntarily, so that they find no reason to bother explaining to you why it’s pointless, because it seems that you are already on the same page with them, to the extent that you are now doing all the talking, instead of waiting for them to fulfill that role, or worse, oppose them when they try to convince you why it is pointless to try to do anything good or not be miserable.
