Thriving is childishly simple: - Eat real food - Move your body - Get sunlight - Sleep deeply - Love fiercely - Work until you have enough - Give away your surplus - Speak truth - Accept what comes What is not simple is the courage to live it in a world whose entire identity depends on you not living it. The knowledge has always been free and open source and accessible to everyone. If you value freedom then this is your list. If something is preventing any of these then you know where the work needs to be done. The courage required is not to do anything heroic. It is simply to stop believing the programming and start living the obvious. The rest is entertainment

#Bitcoin Standard Even at conservative 5–7% annual deflation, your stacks real purchasing power doubles every ~10–14 years without adding a single sat. Spend around 3–5% of total sats annually early on. Drop to 1–2% as deflation kicks in. This does not mean SELL. Spend into local economy first. Global economy second to benefit adoption. If there are goods and services you wish were available in bitcoin either build the business and provide them yourself or reach out locally and find others who can provide them

Don’t only count what can be counted. You will miss the aliveness that cannot be priced.

The industrial-era employment contract turned work into a binary: • Show up 40–60 hours/week, exactly as told, or get zero income and lose health insurance. • No middle ground: 20 hours? Not allowed. Seasonal? Not allowed. Sabbatical? Rare. Surplus effort for surplus pay? Almost never. This creates the illusion that “retirement” is the only escape hatch. What people actually crave is flexible sovereignty over their time and energy.

Ego tightens - “I must control this” - suffering appears Ego loosens - “this is already being done” - humility floods in This is the original state returning

The aggregate freedom of human beings is directly proportional to the aggregate morality of their behavior. High morality - high trust - low need for coercion - maximum individual freedom

Humans possess intuition, conscience, imagination, and the capacity for love and sacrifice. These cannot be replicated or fully controlled by technology. Never forget.

The infinite game has only one rule: Let the play play itself

My goal is to create. Over the next year I’ll be making and shipping as many useful, wonderfully crafted, value driven things as possible. Bullish. - Homemade lactofermented vegetables - Homeschooling STEM activity boxes - Architectural/3D modeling software teaching services - Architectural design services - Handcrafted wooden bowls/utensils using old growth wood - Grassfed slow cooked beef broth - Custom woodworking projects as requested Hopefully even more as my kids grow and find their own interests. Thanks to @The Bullish ₿itcoiner for providing the rails. Stay tuned!

Patience is not passive waiting. It is active surrender to PERFECT TIMING.

Contentment was replaced with permanent performance anxiety

Once your expenses and modest lifestyle needs are met stop selling your time for money. Every additional hour sold for money is an hour no longer offered to the play itself. Go help others and enjoy life.

@Bitcoin Beans beautiful packaging. High quality product.

Pay close attention to what happens in different contexts and iterate your life to what feels alive in each one.

Teach your kids that there is no losing only learning. That they should prepare for whatever game it is they are playing with unquestionable discipline and dedication and then if they get beat, to respect the opponent and learn from them.

Never judge a man by the creed he possesses but by the life he leads

Relative: Stack sats, get debt free, raise antifragile kids, stay healthy, build parallel systems, ignore politics and main stream news Absolute: hold all of the above lightly, it’s all a game.
