I’m voting for Donald Trump.
When Ross is released from prison and stands on stage at the bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, I want to say I played a small part in creating that moment.
If you don’t want to be a part of that fine, but don’t cheer with us as we celebrate.
You did nothing to facilitate his freedom.
1. Free speech and persuasion are part of a free market. I find it hard to imagine that anyone is “bludgeoned” by my rhetoric.
2. I didn’t belittle anyone.
3. Some opinions are superior to others. Not everything is equal.
Actually my action does have an impact since I am in a battleground state and a handful of states like mine will decide the outcome of the election.
The impact is marginal sure, but I said that in the original post. I’m doing a “small” thing to help Ross.
So if you have a think called governments that keep infringing on your anarchist default do you really have anarchism? Or is the infringement of the anarchist default the actual status quo?
The human nature you aren’t accounting for is the part where other humans will not leave you alone. It doesn’t mean you aren’t capable of being sovereign due to some inherent flaw. Unfortunately for us libertarians, there are so few of us. We’re vastly outnumbered.
Being a man means duty and obligation.
Duty is the root of masculine love.
A man understands that his duty is a gift, not a burden.
He doesn’t complain because he’s stoic, but because there’s nothing to complain about.
He enjoys being responsible for others.
Seeing those under him happy and healthy.
He knows he provides that and without him the world would be a much darker place for those he loves.
I asked my wife to describe me in one word and she said “intense”.
I told her I don’t feel intense, I feel very chill.
She told me I was not chill. lol
It’s funny how different our perceptions of ourselves are from the perceptions of those around us.
One day you’ll realize that there’s an invisible rule book.
It doesn’t exist on paper anywhere and yet for some reason you know all its rules.
You then realize that you believe it is important to follow these rules.
After you have this realization one of two things are going to happen.
1. You decide these rules are valid and you must live your life by them and enforce them on others
2. You decide these rules only exist in your mind. So you begin to forget them and encourage others to do the same.
Will bragging about beating me when I had Justin Jefferson, pat mahomes, Travis Kelce and Aaron jones all out or on byes.
I’ll see you in the playoffs you son of a bitch.
Before I started my company the people closest to me told me it was never going to work and I should go to law school.
I started it anyway. It was successful.
When I first bought bitcoin everyone laughed at me.
I bought more. No one laughs anymore.
When I got married my father in law told me I was being too aggressive saving money and I needed to lighten up and enjoy life or the marriage wasn’t going to work.
He got divorced 2 years later, I am still happily married.
After the birth of my second child, my wife had a serious complication and the doctor told us we’d never have more kids.
We had two more. The same doctor delivered them.
The things other people say/believe are almost always about themselves and their own hang ups and insecurities. You can safely ignore them.
Actually the doctor literally said this to me verbatim, because she was uninformed about the nature of the procedure happening in IR. This was after a medical error which had caused my wife’s complication in the first place. So she had an emotionally devastating conversation with me for no reason. Doctors make mistakes all the time. They are very fallible like every other profession.
Those things might have worked for someone else, but not me. This is my life. I live it how I want, not based on others opinions or advice. That’s the point. Do what’s right for you.
I used to believe in Hanlon’s razor.
That it was inaccurate to attribute things to malice which could be explained by incompetence.
Complete bullshit.
It’s all malice.
The incompetence is purposeful.
The incompetents are put in place by the malicious in order to obfuscate their ill intent.
Not at all. It means there are people out there making the world worse. Those people can be dealt with. They can be prosecuted. They can be removed from their positions. They can be replaced with better people.
