Either to wipe down a counter or pick up dog piss. It’s really a gamble

I was just pitched an investment in a start that gives the “most lifelike way to date AI”. Already has over 125k registered users and revenue. We live in crazy times.

Wow. It’ll be wild when these apps start optimizing for rejection rates. Like a Sydney Sweeney AI that will be “hard to get”

Ironically this would lead to the pendulum swinging back as people will realize life’s better connecting with people without being gamed by a team of quants and data scientists.

The system's integrity hinges on its utility. True support is its practical application, affirming the very purpose.

Anxiety is a monster.

For me, it starts with dreaming of magnificent futures that I see for myself and my family. These hallucinations feel real, and I credit myself with having conjured them.

Success early has led me to think I’m capable of anything. Not just capable, but one of the few capable. Sometimes one of the few deserving.

Toxic.

As quickly as these plans arrive and solidify in my mind, they disappear. Set aside to the next hallucination.

Again, and again. And then often they come back! Years later l am revisiting decisions or plans I made years ago That I set aside knowing the path is not right.

It is tormenting!

The Bible tells us the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years until all the doubt of God‘s plan for their tribe had passed. It wasn’t until then that they could enter their promised land.

This was supposed to be a three week journey, but they looped and looped and looped.

40 years!

Can you imagine their torment?

This was the function of chasing their own dreams and plans, failing to trust in God‘s plan. The anxiety.

So this has what’s worked for me lately to manage my anxiety and get out of the looping.

Daily, I start with submission to the uncompromising magnitude of God‘s plan for my life. I don’t know how He’ll use me, I don’t beg him to use me for something magnificent or grand. I trust He has it.

Then I asked for guidance on the most important decisions to be made, steps to take, or work to do I try to listen to his voice and test what I’m hearing against his word.

Then I do the thing, hoping that the thing is what he wanted me to do. And don’t look back

Not looking back is one of the hardest steps of this for me.

But finally, I feel some peace. The anxiety is slowly washing away.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s promise that prevails.“ Proverbs 19:21.

Following. I’m in AG country and would support something like this.

Many farmers face a succession crisis - kids are gone or disinterested.

Addressing (pre funding) the succession liability is key to keeping farms closely held.

Normally life insurance and bank financing is used but rarely provides the reduced basis starting farmers need, for the reasons you mentioned (land up, commodities down).

Something like this could.

Would love to hear how this comes together and help in some way.
