The whole "We'd all be speaking German" boomer line is only relevant when your country remains very close to a homogenous society. Soon as you introduce everyone else to it, the victory of your war means nothing. They'll spend every Remembrance Day talking about how previous generations fought for their country, their way of life and the future of their children and then the second anyone talks about preserving national culture, social cohesion or the English language today, suddenly none of those things matter. They continue to lecture younger generations about how incredibly important it was that our ancestors preserved their national identity while mocking those same younger generations for caring about national identity today. Wild stuff, honestly.

This is the future we shall bring into being

Everyone thinks the world is collapsing. It isn't. You're just chronically online. You wake up and immediately consume war, political outrage, economic doom, crime, corruption, culture wars and whatever fresh catastrophe the algorithm has selected for you that morning. It took your ancestors about 3 months to hear about this back in the day. Whereas most people will consume this news the second they wake up. When we open our phones and consume a perfectly curated stream of every war, murder, recession, scandal, disaster and political crisis occurring anywhere among eight billion people. And conclude "everything is collapsing." Brother, put the phone down. The internet has completely destroyed people's perception of scale. Something terrible happens to 30 people on the opposite side of the planet and 30 million people watch it before lunch. Your brain was never designed for this. You were supposed to know what was happening in your village. Now you're carrying the accumulated problems of eight billion people around in your pocket and wondering why everything feels fucked. Yes, there are real problems, there have always been real problems. But reading about them for six hours a day isn't awareness, it's consumption. And eventually you start confusing the feed with reality. Log off, go outside. Talk to actual human beings. Lift something heavy, make some money, take someone you love somewhere nice, build something. Your life is probably considerably less apocalyptic than your algorithm keeps telling you it is. Compared to the person born in early 1800s? Your life is infinitely better. Get sick? Medicine. Got an incurable (now curable) disease? Medicine. Need water? It's instant. Need food? Supermarket. Bored? Do something entertaining.

The internet is not real life. Online it looks like everything is collapsing. Nobody can make money. Nobody can find a good woman. Nothing is affordable. It’s all rigged. Then you walk outside and people are building businesses, getting married, buying homes, raising kids, living well. Don’t let people who’ve built nothing decide what you believe is possible. In fact, you’re in the best of times. Just takes time (a few years) and full responsibility for your life.

Gamechanger. Streamline and make everything far more efficient. I predict Chateau's will make a massive comeback due to the advancements in Robots. Trying to maintain a Chateau with a team of servants/tradesmen and other professions is way too expensive in the modern age. They used to get away with it due to cheap rural labor. In the modern age, you'd have to pay each individual of the team about $80,000-$130,000 now. You'd most likely have a payroll costing you about $5 million a year. This will now be handled by Tesla bots, and for free. #tesla #spacex #optimus

Elon Musk has mentioned time and time again that the greatest threat is the birth rate/population collapse in 1st world countries. This is the sense of urgency. The critical window may be closer to the next 20 years. This is why robots/AI agents are desperately needed in the West. It’s either we choose that, or choose to demographically replace ourselves by people that do not share the same optimism as Elon Musk.

Actually insane when you think about it. I genuinely think people haven't processed what happened around 2022. For most of the 2010s, technology felt like a smooth line upwards. Better phones, cameras, internet, GPUs, more apps, useful improvements and so on, but you could basically predict what next year was going to look like. Then suddenly the line went vertical. Like, fucking stratospheric vertical. If you're old enough to remember Photoshop edits, that stuff would take HOURS. Add a few layers, delete a few layers, cut this, cut that, outline that, paste it here, add an extra layer, remove the layer and place it 2nd etc. It was fun back in the day. But now? Bruv. From hours down to seconds. 2022 to 2026 has felt longer technologically than the entire decade before it. And we're sitting here arguing about what AI can do today when the far more interesting question is - What the hell is it going to do in 2030? LOL

Tell you what the beauty of trading is? (Never day trade btw, if someone is selling you a course on it, run.) You can wake up, make your coffee, see an opportunity, put a trade on and a couple hours later you're sitting on $3 to $5k profit. Close the position. Withdraw it. Money lands back in your bank account. And these don't have to be massive overleveraged trades. x3 or x4 at best. Minimal risk. You don't need to make a trade everyday, maybe once a week, maybe once every few weeks. The traders I know irl will trade maybe once every few weeks. Minimum of $40k returns. Then they'll just log off and go live life for a bit before coming back in 2-3 weeks time, even a month. Sadly, what a lot of people do is, deposit $1k into the markets and adjust leverage to x50 and get their accounts blown up and claim the market is a scam. #crypto #trading #btc

"GainsMax. Do you ever give out large sums of cash to people?" (Another very long read about my life. Enjoy. Hope this inspires at least one person.) Yeah, occasionally, got plenty of these stories, but I'm very selective. I don't reward people waiting to be rescued. I restore saved files, if you catch my drift. The funny thing is, the people I help usually have absolutely no idea what I do, what I invest in etc. I tend to keep it that way. Life is more fun. Yeah I trade, maybe once a month. Usually the big moves. Snipe a big move in the market and you're set for half the year, depending on your lifestyle expenses of course lol But the money itself has created this weird quest game for me. Example - Someone has been saving for 6 months and then some stupid $6 to 10k emergency wipes the entire thing out overnight. Sometimes I'll just fix the problem. That's the kind of shit that gets my attention, not "give me money." I remember talking to this one bloke who casually mentioned his car had shit itself. He wasn't dramatic about it. He was still getting himself to work, borrowing someone's car when he could, trying to organise repairs around payday. You could tell he wasn't fishing because he changed the subject almost immediately, that's usually the giveaway. People trying to extract money from you make sure you understand exactly how terrible their situation is. Another time it was a couple with kids that had an absolutely brutal month. One expense after another. Something in the house broke, then the car needed work, then some kid related expense landed on top of it. Totally understandable, been there multiple times myself. This couple weren't destitute, that's the point. They were doing everything right and life had simply decided to spawn 3 money goblins and ran with the cash. You can actually see the mental arithmetic happening when people like that talk. "Okay, we'll pay this Friday, move that until next fortnight, put this one on the card, cancel that thing we were going to do with the kids" etc And I'm sitting there thinking "this entire fucking problem is smaller than a position I closed last month" That's when the sandbox feeling kicks in. Sometimes I'll intervene, not enough that they suddenly think they've found a billionaire NPC with an infinite money glitch. Just enough to delete the immediate problem. Save file restored. And then I disappear back into being the guy they assume has a normal job (which I also do lmao) and occasionally fucks around with stocks. And these moments are far more entertaining to me than buying another expensive object. You just have to remember not to become the fucking respawn point for everyone you meet. In fact, one of the quickest ways to guarantee I never help you again would probably be treating the first time as evidence there'll be a second. I don't have some monthly "random acts of kindness" budget like a some corporate company doing some event, it's spontaneous. Right person. Wrong moment. Problem appears. I realise I can delete it without materially affecting my own life.

Lmao Real.

Bad take, there's nothing wrong with it tbh Considering dudes 40 years ago would go to the pub and drink til their heart was content and do nothing but talk about the weekend game. Now they're talking about fitness/caffeine drinks. Not many dudes who are 40+ are in the gym, most are overweight.

Australia will never win a manpower competition. So why are we trying to think like a manpower superpower? Look at the stats. Australia - 27.8 million - 4.5 million people aged 65 and over - Overseas born population: 8.8million - Age 18 to 55: approximately 14.1 million people - Out of that group - Obese adults: 33% is roughly 6.5 million adults - NDIS - roughly 740,000+ participants So stop planning to fight the wars of 1942. We won't win. Throwing millions of young men into the meat grinder isn't the answer. The answer is turning our resources, energy, universities, engineers and industrial base into machines. And what do I mean? Drones. Autonomous aircraft. Uncrewed submarines. Robotics. Sensors. AI. Long range systems. Automated factories. A country of 28 million cannot become a country of 300 million. But 28 million people can build a hell of a lot of machines. Every part of our continent should be turned into something that can produce drones/robots. We have 500 years of coal to do so.

Truth. Distinction is needed though. Lean muscles, not big bodybuilder muscles. Think Abercrombie model but slightly larger. Think Captain America. Women aren't into dad bods, and men use it as a cope when they see a fit guy. Watch their actions, not their words. The difference between me being strong and bulky vs me being lean has been night and day. People WILL react to you differently when you have a lean body, and men will try and make a joke about you saying "you take it way too serious, women prefer the flab to lay on" etc. People take you way more serious as well with a lean body. Lean is law.

Freedom. Options. Time. These should be the 3 pillars of why you want to increase your income. Once you start going from $5k to $10k a month (online income) it feels amazing. You think you've finally 'made it,' and technically you have, and all of the expenses outside of your main income are paid for and you still have stuff left over. 99% of people working a job would benefit from the extra $5k/month as that covers all the liabilities + you get to splurge a bit. $10k/month is the same, but more options become available. $20k/month? Brother. The normie world is yours believe it or not. All of the normie activities are basically free at this point, the world becomes a 'sandbox' to say the least. By the time you finish your holiday overseas, the money that you spent is back in your pocket. Yeah look, you still can't buy a lambo, but that's not the point, the point is that normal life has basically become free. $30k/month? Everything you do is basically free. Clothing, dinners, petrol, groceries etc. All free. You suddenly realise how many tiny decisions throughout normal life are actually financial decisions disguised as something else. $40k/month? I've tapped this a few times. This level becomes more about how to use money, how to invest in assets and so on. You begin to have some serious money to deploy to make you more money. You have a ton of leverage. As I said in a previous post, there's not much difference in lifestyle between the $30k and $100k/month person. We can still buy the same normie stuff. The difference is, they have far more assets and they get things a lot quicker. So if I wanted something they want, it would take me 5 months, for them? Probably 5-6 weeks. For the person doing $300k/months? 1 week. The point to these levels is to compress time, and that's where assets come into play. Always levels to the game.
