Renting in rural Mexico is interesting. It’s a cash heavy and remittance society so most people value the value of the work/construction of their home, upwards $100,000+ but pay very little in property tax and rent for very little ($100-$250/mo). The rent is seen as a way to offset the cost of construction while folks live elsewhere like the US or cultivate farms while workers typically get paid roughly $500 a month. The economy in rural Mexico is obviously different than urban cities centers but drastically different than US suburbia.

ChatGPT, now that I’m moving to Mexico and you can remember all of our conversations, tell me 10 blindspots I need to work on.

It’s kinda funny taking off the American lens from things now that I’m preparing my migration back to Mexico. There is an insane amount of noise in every direction. It’s pretty annoying that it’s like that

The way the Europe Union regulates American technology reminds me a lot of why Americans went to war with Britain image

Nostr needs more focus on UX. If we’re not obsessed on a user’s experience, what the fuck are we doing besides patting ourselves on the back? image

Also people here who were silently disapproving of me: go to hell, I broke out of this bullshit game without a single penny of outside investment. I paid in blood, sweat and tears.

Gonna be moving to Mexico to drastically reduce cost of living. Tried to do the right thing but tbh the algorithms pretty much one-shot people so I raised the fuuuuuuck out of my prices and I’m just gonna treat algorithm apps the way I treat corporate American offices. It’s a motion toward freedom, and I understand nostr a lot more. I want to build cool shit, help other people build cool shit, and use the internet to interact instead of to engage.

There’s a good reason that influencers like Ian Carrol and Naval don’t stay on nostr for long. These are experiences that depend on interactions rather than engagement. Subtle difference but one that changes everything.

“How was your weekend?” A lot of US culture centers itself around the illusion of success. Lying is somewhat normalized here, however large or small, which inevitably leads to some level of cognitive dissonance with one’s own outcome or experiences. On top of that, there is a layer of elitism that that pretty much overshadows most things, quietly festering in ivory towers that build larger and larger walls to make the visions of others less permissible. A key goal of a dishonest system is to reject honesty and to burn it out. The US doesn’t value merit, ingenuity or diversity. It doesn’t value decency, nor does it value honesty. It values status, however large or small, and it is constantly reinforced and constantly maintained. There’s something there that many people wouldn’t understand unless they had a particular ambition or desire to work on certain historical wrongs; a kind of disillusionment and disinterest that is hard to describe. The desire to seek normalcy is somewhat of an act of cowardice, equivalent to those who act only to be praised. To be raw, transparent and willing to fail time and time again to realize necessary change is not, despite these systems of status often telling you the opposite. That is to be happy, with a meaningful and purposeful life. The modern American way of life doesn’t describe reality - just a projection of its culture. Truth is truth and truth prevails, things that are wrong eventually become corrected, regardless of whatever structures are designed to gatekeep or maintain systems of status and elitism. There was a lot that I’ve learned while I lived in America, and a key insight I’ve gathered is that you need to maintain a certain level of health and mental fortitude to be able to bear the disillusionments that come your way when you work on what is right, what is good and what is honest.

A lot of you guys on TikTok honestly believe in some stupid shit. It’s stuff that feels right in the moment when you’re in a lower state of frequency being mind controlled by some consumer advertisement but honestly it’s fucking goofy. Your mind is being drugged with something worse than pornography.

Many Mexicans don’t want to talk about it but we live in a very unique consequence of history that allows many of us to leverage the US dollar in the Mexican economy.
