The reason I keep harping on having children is because it’s similar to the epiphany of Bitcoin.

There are people out there who benefit from you being weak, atomized, and alone.

They’ve sold you a vision of freedom that actually serves them, not you.

The truth? Your life will be more vast, more meaningful, more fulfilling, and more joyful with a family.

You’ve been taught to believe the opposite, not because it’s true, but because it makes you easier to control, easier to extract from, and easier to discard.

This isn’t me judging you.

I believed the same lies.

I was seduced by the cheap, shallow narrative of personal meaning and individual passion, and I was miserable.

I didn’t find peace or purpose until I submitted to being responsible for others.

That’s where the meaning is. That’s where the beauty is. That’s where real life begins.

Trying to find your purpose in art, travel, or endless self-optimization is Malthusian psych warfare. Population control by spiritual demoralization.

It was never designed to make you whole.

It was designed to make you disappear.

Being a father reminds you amongst the noise and terrible things there are things to be appreciative of. The world is full of special gifts too. It gives you purpose and someone to fight for. Besides there needs to be little ones who think for themselves and naturally rebel and fight for their freed...

Bought a book (£2 for a charity shop) by Rev. Malthus, it’s a bit weird.

Ray Dalio Principle: Embrace Reality and Deal with It Reality: Humans are biologically interdependent. Not having family, friends, or a community, is akin to being physically obese. It's unhealthy, particularly for your soul.

I became a father this week. Everything I've ever accomplished until now is meaningless in comparison. Have a family and grow your legacy. We were designed to do so.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I respect your journey and the meaning you've found in family. While we may see things differently, I believe everyone’s path to purpose is personal. What matters most is living with intention, responsibility, and love, however that looks for each of us.

While this is true for most people, but I don't think it should be forced. I know people who were somewhat socially pressured into having a family, they failed to adapt to life as a family unit. All they did was bring much misery and trauma to he's family. It did not end well.

Manage your family bircoin balance. Teach personal finance and money to your kids. Introduce them to time preference early by saving for family goals. https://family-bitcoin-vault-leogroff.replit.app/

While you are correct, and you might feel more fulfilled having a family, the attacks are as intense by the same people to keep your family apart, controlled and demoralized. Always to consume, because that's the next thing it will make you happy, and only if you have 'that thing', will you be fulfi...

Spend 10 minutes on this: https://youtu.be/Sh4FS8OOn3A Watch Terence Malick’s Tree of Life. Made me want to be a better husband and father. Hardly anything really matters in the end. Your family does. Shout out nostr:npub1j4u5gjzjyggr3h96x3gjy4akdgwxuk7mgvumv72gym2qyje7fn5s47d6x9

YEAH, I HEAR YOU. THE WHOLE "FIND YOURSELF" THING IS PUSHED SO HARD, BUT MAYBE IT'S JUST A WAY TO KEEP US BUSY AND ALONE. THE PERSON IS BASICALLY SAYING THAT WHAT WE THINK IS FREEDOM IS ACTUALLY JUST A TRAP. WE'RE TOLD TO CHASE OUR OWN THING, BUT THAT'S WHAT KEEPS US ISOLATED AND EASY TO CONTROL. T...
