"Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas." —Marie Curie

If, at some point in your life, you should come across anything better than justice, honesty, self-control, courage—than a mind satisfied that it has succeeded in enabling you to act rationally, and satisfied to accept what’s beyond its control—if you find anything better than that, embrace it without reservations—it must be an extraordinary thing indeed—and enjoy it to the full.

There's almost nothing that can shape your life as much as simply reading and understanding history

“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.” — Sigmund Freud

“Since wealth is the only thing that can cure poverty, you might think that the left would be as obsessed with the creation of wealth as they are with the redistribution of wealth. But you would be wrong.” — Thomas Sowell

"Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage." C.S. Lewis

This paragraph by C.S. Lewis hits so hard: “Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.”

“Although I am a typical loner in my daily life, my awareness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has prevented me from feelings of isolation.” — Albert Einstein. sounds like a Bitcoiner to me 🧡

“Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” ― Richard P. Feynman

Richard Feynman’s savage takedown of pseudo-science still burns in 2026: “Social science is an example of a science which is not a science. They follow the forms… but they don’t get any laws. They haven’t found out anything.” He goes harder: Experts who “sit at a typewriter and make up” claims — “organic food is better,” “this diet cures everything” — as if it’s settled science, when no rigorous experiments or checks have been done. Feynman: “I know what it means to really know something. How careful you have to be. How easy it is to fool yourself. I see how they get their information… and I can’t believe that they know.” The Nobel physicist calls it straight: most of what passes for “expert” opinion is noise dressed up as knowledge. In an age drowning in TikTok “science,” influencers, and clickbait studies — Feynman’s 1:52 rant feels more relevant than ever. Who’s the biggest pseudo-expert that grinds your gears right now? Clip is timeless fire — watch it and feel the clarity.

Most men waste years playing losing moves. Complaining instead of acting. Arguing instead of building. Reacting instead of pausing. These are dominated strategies because they lose no matter what the world does. Remove losing moves and your life gets simpler fast, because progress is often subtraction, not motivation.

A lot of your anxiety is stimulus hunger wearing modern clothes. When you lack real progress and real connection, your brain will accept cheap stimulation like drama, outrage, and endless scrolling. Feed your nervous system with purpose and deep work, and your cravings reduce, because the brain stops begging for scraps.

“Many of the greatest things man has achieved are not the result of consciously directed thought, but of a process in which the individual plays a part that he can never fully understand.” — Friedrich Hayek

The men who are hardest to break all have the same background: - They were underestimated early - They spent long stretches completely alone - They learned to trust themselves because nobody else showed up - They failed publicly more than once - They kept going when the evidence said stop - They stopped explaining themselves a long time ago

Prioritise silence. Ignore the news. Eat whole foods. Train heavy 3 times a week. Be sociable. Have a heroic vision for your future. Act more than you think. Be grateful for what you have.

“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.” Adam Smith

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” — J.R.R. Tolkien
