There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. โ€”Hemingway

No, I hate when people say stuff like "You are rich, you need to give it away." Jack worked hard for his money, besides he does zap people every day.
Been superior to your fellow man is sad, a life of painfjll tolerance to inferior ones, this is sacrifice. The point is try to be best u can and find the best group in wich you are the most inferior. You will ever apreciate the life.

Bruv, he is using it to improve our lives g. Calm down sir/miss
If Hemingway was around today and a Bitcoiner he would addendum that with: "But it is nice to flex once in a while"
Is there a religion where you worship your future self as a god. Any thing not in service of bringing worth this god version of yourself is punishable in some fashion by future you. Almost like a Roko's basilisk but you are the basilisk and the chances of you existing in the future are high #grownostr #growself View quoted note โ†’

What is this illogic? Bizarre mentality. See others work hard and succeed and use that as your motivator. Go forth, dream, think, work hard and implement. Do good and make change. Improve, innovate and reap rewards of work

I honestly don't get, why people are so "proud" of being rich, and poor people being are ashamed of being poor... Like it's a metric of your human worth???

Be proud of the efforts you have made and where you have climbed on the mountain. Then reach down and help someone else achieve their own greatness.
Why would that make jack superior to his former self ?? And why do you think thay fiat money is the only measure of value ??
What would we call people that are more superior to themselves than other people?

Excellent wallet bitkey jack .
Yes, but it is dishonorable being inferior to your fellow man. Especially being a fascist in disguise ready to follow Fรผhrer's orders anytime covid or ukraine or some nonsense like that kicks in.

Those things are not mutually exclusive. Some of my fellow humans are sadly severely corrupted. There is nobility in avoiding their folly. View quoted note โ†’

I mean It's understandable why you'd think he wasn't real since he chose not to be verified but do you really think a jack impersonater would have 200k followers on a brand new site lol
Did he mean it's ok to do terrible things as long as you then stop doing terrible things?

I had a friend who was a famous authorโ€ฆ nominated for Pulitzer level & wrote wildly famous books. He was drunk most of the time as well.
He used to run some called X apparently. From what I hear it wasn't very good.

That's a great distinction. The ancient iChing does use that phrase quite a bit and I like to interpret it as Superior form of self within, the version of self realization, of higher self mastery, that is noble, honorable and integritous. You've striked me as humble @jack which in the world of ego driven sociopathic leadership is vastly Superior.
Or seeing through self as a mental construct. Great quote!
