Freedom, once fully understood is one of the most intoxicating things I’ve ever experienced. Before I knew its meaning I didn’t really care about it, but now, every bone, sinew, blood vessel and neurone in my being demands it. It occupies my mind constantly, I need it more than air, water and food. Because I know all those things are only attainable with freedom. Read any book on the effects of Communism on a nation’s food, water and air, or any biography of a hostage for the details. There are many misconceptions about freedom, but the true meaning of freedom is having the ability to act on your own rational judgement in accordance with what you perceive in the world around you. Force and fraud destroy and undercut your ability to act on this judgement, cutting your mind off from reality. If you cannot act on your own judgement, your thoughts become arbitrary, your mind useless, and your life meaningless because you cannot pursue what you value. From a class of water to an entire career, the more values denied to you the less meaning your life has. The meaning of your life is your life. If you cannot pursue your own values, you cannot live. Your heart may pump blood, your stomach may digest food and your lungs may process oxygen, but if you cannot act on your own judgement, you are not alive, you are an animated corpse, a zombie. I can never go back to that world and I know there are many here that feel the same. ❤️ #ayn_rand #objectivism #reason #ethics #morality #freedom #capitalism #bitcoin

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.” ~ Ayn Rand For those of you unfamiliar with Rand’s philosophy, don’t listen to the hate, the world can be a beautiful place, but only if you choose to make it so. #objectivism #inspiration #nostr #freedom #egoism #rational_selfishness #ayn_rand

Bitcoin being the only asset i’ve ever invested in, I don’t think I appreciated how volatile it is… You have to zoom out two years before the Microsoft stock looks anything like the daily volatility of Bitcoin. I think I might die of boredom 🫩 #stonks #bitcoin #microsoft

End of day 02 on a Carnivore Standard 💪🏽 Steak and Rust Cole for dinner. I can’t believe the results already, i have energy, i don’t feel sluggish, i’ve always had bad joints, so long I didn’t even noticed it anymore, but now i feel like the tin man after he’s been oiled, my knees feel great. I feel like my muscles have strength again. I had no idea i would feel this good even months in, never mind after 2 days. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like after a few weeks and months. 💪🏽 If you have chronic conditions and are wondering whether to take the plunge, do it. It’s worth the money and I’m almost certain you wont regret at least trying it for a week. I’m not gonna lie, eating beef for each meal is starting to get old, but only when I think about eating, when I’m eating it feels great, apparently this feeling fades over time though. Full list of symptoms from my reflections today and consulting Grok to compare what I feel to what i can expect: - Woke up feeling sharp mentally despite short sleep cycle. - No morning muscle/joint aches or bloating. - ⁠Tauter, less jiggly, ungassy belly, feels loads tighter. - ⁠One small, smooth/chunky, low-odor, easy-to-pass poop this afternoon since i started. - ⁠Clearer, 50% less yellow urine, five trips in two days (vs. seven–eight daily). - Less greasy, more “buttery” skin like after applying body butter. - ⁠Less achy, stronger-feeling knees and less creaky joints. Todays meals: 2 silvercut steaks for breakfast 150g each, Beef patties 500g 2 silvercut steaks for dinner Loaded up on 2 teaspoons of salt today with my meat as according to Grok i wasn’t getting enough and that was giving me the stomach ache, and it does feel about 50% better already. Gonna try 3 teaspoons tomorrow. Stay tuned 💪🏽 #carnivore #carnivore_diet #living_objectively #true_detective

Day 02 on a Carnivore Standard. I would say 50% of my previous symptoms had disappeared already, madness. I didn’t feel achy or bloated when I woke up. My stomach felt a bit strange but I’m not surprised. Breakfast: 2 silver cut steaks, 300g total Freshly ground black coffee #carnivore

After years of soulsearching and grinding at a dozen jobs and exploring the intilectual landscape of our age trying to find THE thing I wanted to do. I had the realisation today that it doesn’t exist. I must build it. Today, everything suddenly came together, so many disperate things seemingly unrelated. The crystalisation of my convictions, principles, interests, knowledge, skills, experience, taste and relationships. I know what to do now, or at least where to start, i finally found the corner piece of the puzzle. 🧩 I’ve never felt this way before, but it’s one of those times when you know, you know. So far it only exists in my mind and for just one day, but I’m already excited to share it with all of you when i bring it to life. #inspired

I had a great day for the first time in a long time, how did they know? Onward and upwards 🚀

Day 01 on a Carnivore Standard - Weight: 97kg (est. 15kg fat) - Feeling alert and energised. - Slight stomach ache after dinner. - 1kg of beef total. - 500g portions are a bit big, going to cut down to 350g tomorrow. - Collected around 50g of fat to make beef tallow. #carnivore #carnivore_standard #living_objectively

I’ve finally bit the bullet and lived my first day on a Carnivore Standard. 500g of beef skirt for breakfast, 500g of 25% fat mince beef for dinner, salt, water, that’s it. I feel good, already i feel more energised and focused, maybe it’s psychosomatic, but it seems real enough and that’s enough for me. At some point last year I had the realisation that I always felt better after eating lots of beef. I’ve struggled for years waking up sluggish, feeling bloated and hungry at the same time and the feeling lethargic all day. It all started after getting two Covid jabs in 2020, i was naive. Recently I went through all the notes on my phone from the last 7 years and sorted through them. I found a note saying “i feel nautious and bloated constantly since getting the jabs, and my piss is yellow, I can’t seem to drink enough water and i feel exhausted no matter how much I sleep” Things have been this way so long now that I totally forgot when I first felt this way and i assumed it was just a result of leaving my 20’s. But reading that note woke me up to the realisation that this isn’t right and I needed to make a change. I plan to make regular posts to document my journey. I thought I’d start strict and as I expand my knowledge and reflect on my experience I can adjust accordingly if necessary. Stay tuned 💪🏽 #carnivore #carnivore_standard #living_objectively

Had the idea to make my own beef tallow from the left over mince beef fat 💪🏽 #carnivore
