This whole thing is going to be so hilarious. All these grifters grifting the grifter who also happens to be the POTUS. Lmao It’s going to be such a shit show.
I think having wealth makes life easier and lower stress. But it doesn’t automatically make anyone happier.
I’ve been completely broke and very happy. Boils down to yourself and how you live life and think about life.
For me, exploring and adventure bring happiness. Being authentic brings happiness. Building things and challenges brings happiness. So I do that stuff as much as I can.
Being fat adapted and backpacking with just jerky is the minimalist hack. No stupid jetboil or propane canisters. No overpriced over-processed dehydrated food bags. Lighter pack with more space I throw in a fishing pole setup instead.
Lol yeah sounds like those guys feel a need to prove how tough they are. Def an ego based flaw. Like if your life is on the for sure bang out to the fullest but destroying your body to try to win an amateur bjj comp seems reckless and silly.
Markets are pricing in lower fed funds rates and an increase in global liquidity. Which yes will result in more inflation.
Bitcoin also seems to be pricing in a favorable administration in the White House as well as adoption by large pools of capital.
I think many things will be developed on nostr and the best stuff that provides the most value will be used and monetized to success at scale. I pay for Damus and love it. Well worth the sats.
Over-thinking and over-feeling is detrimental noise. I see both of these pitfalls screw people up often.
Instincts are the clean signal. Honing the ability to trust instincts will take one so much farther than over-thinking or over-feeling, which typically lead to worse outcomes.
The book Blink makes a great case for human instincts as a compass and is well worth a read.
Yes, exactly. I thought you were referring to all of the erroneous information that doesn’t make it through filters. But yeah our survival brain is privy to all kinds of info that our conscious mind isn’t. It just computes all of it and gives us the conclusion most apt for survival. Pure signal.
People override that signal at their own peril.
Again this just boils down to definitions. Different people have different definitions for terminology as this thread shows.
For proper and reasonable debate on a topic we must agree to the definition of terminology first. Then we can discuss the topic and its downstream effects with integrity.
I use gut feel and instinct interchangeably and per definitions this is correct. Your idea about gut feel is not correct per definitions. What you’re referring to is wisdom or experience.
Dictionary definitions:
Gut feel: noun. an instinctive feeling, as opposed to an opinion based on facts.
Gut feel: noun: a strong belief about someone or something that cannot completely be explained and does not have to be decided by reasoning
Instinct: noun: the way people or animals naturally react or behave, without having to think or learn about it.
Instinct: noun: an inborn impulse or motivation to action typically performed in response to specific external stimuli.
Per these definitions they’re closely related if not interchangeable.
