At the risk of stating the obvious:

Human beings are not designed to have 3+ meals per day.

Three meals per day is a habit not a necessity, and I would argue it’s a bad habit at that. The nice, lovely feeling of “not being fucking hungry” that most of us have grown extremely accustomed to, is not an optimal state for work, study or play (or, y’know, ideally all three together). Food sort of acts like a sedative: the feeling of being full tends to make us slow, lazy and complacent. Simply put, when we are full, we feel like we don’t have to work for it. Hunger drives ambition and periods of actual, physical hunger is an important and effective driver at that.

My advice for the food & snack addicts: try fasting for a short period of time, whatever you’re comfortable with, anywhere from 12 to 72 hours. Do not eat anything for that period, only have water, perhaps tea or coffee (without milk or sugar) - although I will admit, I have had bits of dark chocolate during my 72 hour fasts. Pay attention to how you’re feeling, your energy, ambition and focusing abilities. If you’re used to constantly eating or having snacks, you will get strong urges to eat - don’t give in. Not having any snacks lying around makes it a lot easier. After you resist the initial habitual desire to eat as soon as you feel any signs of peckishness, your body will adjust to the situation and realize - oh, actually, I don’t really need to eat right now - after that it becomes much easier to notice and control that emotion.

Try increasing the lengths of your fasts as your body adjusts - and again, notice the changes in the way you feel and the way you think.

My experience has been: higher and more stable levels of energy and drive; I’ve become even more selective of what, when and how I eat; much clearer thinking (especially when diet is low-carb & low sugar); more time & money since I’m not wasting either on eating stuff I don’t need; easier to achieve and keep better form - both mentally and physically.

As an added bonus, when you finally do eat, you will fully enjoy and cherish that food. A real sense of gratitude is all but guaranteed.

Chaos is born out of scarcity; suffering is born out of chaos; strength is born out of suffering; abundance is born out of strength; beauty is born out of abundance; love is born out of beauty.


PSA: "Killers of the Flower Moon" (like Oppenheimer, like Top Gun: Maverick, like most new movies) is terribly overrated. Boring, no tension, no mystery, even barely any emotions.

Don't waste your time.


When you harm others you harm yourself.
When you harm yourself you harm others.
When you lie to yourself you lie to others.
When you lie to others you lie to yourself.

It's so easy to criticize.

Creating something new is hard. Building equals sweating, so if you see someone sweating, err on the side of building them up rather than kicking them down. Encouragement is a superpower. Encourage honestly and emphatically, and you might end up with the world you want to see.


"All it takes is a decision to act. A decision to let the old, lame, insane people driven by darkness who currently run the world know that you're not taking their shit anymore. You're taking what's yours."

"Yoga every day."

Your body likes to move, your mind likes to be still and your soul likes to create things. Yoga can provide all of that. Needless to say, all three will thank you for it.

It’s not a challenge, a competition, a task, a habit, a responsibility, a chore, black magic, voodoo or New Age mumbo jumbo. Perhaps counterintuitively, it is also not discipline, willpower or persistence.

At first, it’s work disguised as play.

Then, it just is.

Some number magic from yesterdays drive.
It ended up being a 1000 km+ day tho, as  my car couldn't do Gibb road (the river crossing) and I had to turn back, take the longer route.
Also had a brief meeting with a kangaroo but luckily he only scraped the car and is presumably well

Money is an abstraction of time and energy is how I see it. Michael also says something to the extent that we have money since we cannot just directly hand each other energy in a jar or something (or send with an email for that matter). Of course (a good) money also allows for energy to be stored and transmitted over time, which is why I think the battery analogy is great as well.

Just the cover of a little home video I spent my Sunday evening working on... :)


I think it’s important to understand that at the root of it, most of the evil prevalent in the world today stems from 2 systems: the military-industrial complex and the state-financial complex. And that at the crux of it is the ever-expanding synergy between those 2 systems, which lead to only 2 certain outcomes: bigger states and more wars. Luckily, we have more and more options to opt out of those systems.
#Bitcoin fixes (some of) this.


The choice has become quite binary, unfortunately: either you serve your family or you serve the State.


What is the best way you can express your love to the world today?


Be a nobody on the way to becoming somebody.


The most dangerous religion is statism. ✌


Sry college is a shitcoin


Allow yourself to burn the flame of love.

https://m.primal.net/HLzy.jpg

Equanimity is one of the main goals of most spiritual practices as well as philosophical approaches to life. Another word for equanimity, which, at least for me, is easier to intuitively know and understand, is composure.

We can always choose how to react (compose our thoughts, words and actions) and how to proact (compose our bodies by eating, breath, posture, activity; compose our minds by reading, feeling, listening, watching, observing; and to an extent, we can even compose our environments by respecting, protecting, building, cleansing, cherishing, nourishing). Thus, we can always choose who we are; and we can change that choice in an instant. You may have been angry 2 seconds ago, that does not mean you have to stay angry now. You may have been an egotistical, self-indulgent brat a week ago, that does not mean you have to be one now.

Of course, there are times when we feel as if we have no control, as if we were just mere passengers riding the waves of the sea of life. Then, simple mantras reminding us of who's in charge can come in handy.

This one is mine. You can have it as well.


We must use these technologies to free our peoples from the shackles of MSM, the chains of fiat, and the barbarism of statism.

We are the only generation that will be give this opportunity, and we will only get one chance.

Either our children will be radically free, or totally enslaved—there will be no inbetween.


Cute. Too fucking cute.

Winners do give up. Constantly and without regrets. They give up things like: toxic relationships, meaningless jobs, the urge to conform, partying, ideas that don’t serve them, bad habits - even if those bad habits are so ingrained into the culture that they are called "tradition." In fact, they give up their whole lives, every night, in order to live new and better ones tomorrow.

We use our five senses to experience and make sense of the world around us. The information received via our senses must be, however, processed by our minds for us to be able to interpret the data. Thus, a sick, distorted mind would also result in sick, distorted interpretations of the world. A healthy, capable mind, on the other hand, is able to not only correctly interpret the data, but also to make connections between different types of data that the different senses relay. Hence the saying “mind over matter.”

The method of making those connections is often referred to as “intuition” or the “sixth sense.” From actual science, we know that by withdrawing one or more senses, we are able to increase the capabilities of the others. This is one of the tools of yoga - pratyahara. Now, the goal is not to withdraw all senses, forever, and to live in a deep, dark, quiet cave for the rest of our lives. But going into that cave, and staying there, from time to time, can be incredibly useful. Through that sixth sense is how you can really learn about yourself, and the world as we know it. Overwhelming those five senses can work in the exact opposite way, however, which is why I think cities as they exist today cannot really be the places for human flourishing.

Embrace the senses, but be wary of them. Train your sixth sense. Then, “mind over matter” can become “mind with the matter.”

Blesseth be thy ground it should be all clear by now

the fact is I got 5 left, keep fightin on I ain’t tired yet
I am the boss ain’t fired yet so what the fuck can I expect?
Absolutely nothing, got no expectations
train in meditation, training my patience
call me up, call me the Doc, I’ll call you my patients
help you out of your basements, your cages, into your places
This ain’t no time to be voiceless, faceless in the face of erasure
heroes must be facin the danger while embracin they angels

Call me a far right extremist, but I think information should be free and copyright laws should be a thing of the past. "Intellectual property" are, after all, mere ideas and no one can "own" ideas.

Glad to hear you are at least inviting less fortunate people to pirate it.

Also perhaps consider a Pay-What-You-Want model? Or a "Take now, pay later" type of model.

I have been blessed with being able to collaborate with a whole bunch of talented artists, when I was tagged by  nostr:npub1dy7zsvk7jwd547xvmpptzlc9muhd64g7txvf60zwlxjyj4aj78as6hljz5 to participate in the nostr cypher volume V on an early Saturday morning.

It had been a long week and I had spent the full day & night working, but hearing this beat, something clicked and I had to write + record the verse straight away. Luckily I was already in an empty office space in Melbourne and had my mic set up...
Super spontaneous, super raw.

It was also the 4th anniversary of my very first solo mixtape "Sad Bad Summer" a few days ago (and exactly 1 day before recording this verse), which is something that I have been reflecting on for the past week or so: what led me up to recording that mixtape, the subject matter on it, and the journey I've been on since the release till now.

The full mixtape is available for streaming on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaPFuUAhgQxAkxY-gyhiytHl5nAuxn9vq

Also, I have to note that some really beautiful things are being built on the nostr protocol, which till now has mostly been used to build social media apps, but there is so much being worked on, music and long-form text platforms being some of the first ones outside of the standard "social media" type platforms. I would highly encourage anyone interested in preserving their freedom of speech and/or helping build a new type of permissionless layer with novel monetization methods on top of the Internet to check it out.
