In summary, our increasingly advanced scientific understanding in modern times may be helping us rediscover an ancient wisdom. These findings suggest that health, which encompasses not only the physical and mental but also the divine, is connected to both our ability to tend the garden of the mind and our devotion to sunlight, nature, and the world that formed us. From this perspective, health is a simple thing to achieve. We must bask in the glory of the Sun, continue the devotional practices that help us hone the mind, and realize that most remedies come not from industrially made things, but from the holy.

Life can be viewed as a consequence of the Laws of Thermodynamics. As energy flows from the Sun to the Earth, complex and orderly life emerges as dissipative structures to more efficiently facilitate the flow of energy. The Sun and its rays of life are not only vital to the healthy and proper functioning of our mitochondria and therefore bodily health but are also a central symbol in religions. What it means to be properly aligned with the flow of the cosmos, what is good, holy, and true, is intricately tied to what it means to be healthy, happy, free, and prosperous. This flow, from our reference point on Earth, in many ways stems from the Sun and therefore has holy significance.

Most people think in weekends.

Governments think in election cycles.

Corporations think in quarters.

Bitcoiners learn to think in decades.

The future belongs to those who can delay gratification longer than everyone else.

But it's going to be okay. And you can also exit. Join the Amish, or generate a keypair and join another weird cult. Touching grass helps too. Talking to real humans, in real life, about real things. With your own weird idiosyncrasies and weights and hallucinations.

Our modern technological environment has dramatic consequences on this system and is toxic to our health. Polarized light from artificial blue-light and nnEMF effects our mitochondria’s ability to produce water and increase the risk of the production of too many free radicals. Furthermore, blue light disrupts our circadian rhythm which may influence many systems and possibly lead to obesity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and more. Given its influence on our stress systems, mood, and mental behavior, it then begs the question of how much these artificial polarized light sources influence our ability to interpret reality and grapple with the larger questions regarding the nature of our existence. On that same note, it then calls into question the degree at which the Sun can do the opposite: help align us with the truth.

The standard prioritizes verifiers over holders. It was built for the people checking your ID. Not for you.

We can build a society based on uninhibited and uncontrolled communication - a free society.

For the first time in my lifetime, technologies are empowering regular people instead of large institutions

The decision to break free starts with the realization that we are contained in a circle and the decision that we are ready to stop running in circles.

I met Laura during the first month of getting a stable income in Costa Rica. It was the first time that I had a mission while talking to a girl.

I believe strongly that it's impossible to truly understand life until you create it on your own. Might not be true for everybody, but I believe I'm hardwired this way.

Your votes in the booth matter far LESS than your daily votes with your time, energy, and money.

Whether tapping into our habits and getting us hooked to their platforms, or repeated marketing using the “8 touches” method to get us to buy, the social media ecosystem is programming our subconscious and therefore our lives.

In an era of infinite choices and rampant ambiguity, the ability to adjudicate – to swiftly and correctly decide what is true or what action to take – becomes valuable. Value will accrue to those who can tune out frenzy and ascertain the reality, or to those who build the tools that enable others to do the same at scale. “Discernment” here implies both the judgment of truth and the quality of decisiveness. The rise of AI has supercharged content creation and data analysis, but humans and institutions still face verification bottlenecks (AI said it, but is it true?) and decision paralysis (AI can produce infinite sets of opportunities/ideas). I bet that in an age of infinite information and optionality, the economic return on the 'final decision' will skyrocket because the cost of being wrong is higher than ever.
