The primary benefit of working alone is that you can quickly make decisions and take action. With groups of people you end up discussing everything endlessly with questionable effect on the final product.

Ever since I started a family, I've tried to maximize opportunities to take solitude. I love being alone with myself, working, playing guitar, whatever, I think it's just great. I am so much more productive and there's zero risk that somebody else messes up what I'm working on or slows me down.

The world makes a heck of a lot more sense when you accept these two things:

1) Lots of people are very stupid.

2) Lots of people are evil.

Don't deny the existence of these groups of people, they are very consequential.

There is something going on with common sicknesses since 2020. Everybody is always sick. I feel like I can't take my kids to play with other kids ever because every single time I do a sick kid is there and we end up with a sick house for 2-4 weeks. I am not exaggerating when I say _every time_. It's not normal or natural. something is wrong.

I've been a libertarian since I was 18 and never had much of a problem with the two major parties beyond the normal disagreements. Never before in my life have I seen so many libertarians turn on democrats as enemies, but it makes sense to me. the Democrats treated everybody else like an enemy since their mask slipped and all the Bolsheviks appeared in 2020. The Democrats committed intentional war offensives against us (us being everybody else who they determined was an ideological enemy). Democrats are racist against whites and Asians and I have half white/japanese kids, so the Democrats have to go and I have to be their nemesis.

Good God man read this book already!

Doing squats before 7:00 AM can really change the trajectory of your day for the better.
