Mercenaries work for money. Missionaries build for others. Artists create for themselves. - Naval Ravikant

Engaging in politics habituates and rewires the brain to value agreement and signaling. It weakens the ability to reason independently and clearly.

Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate.
Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own.
Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society.
Make these habits.
Say no to everything else.
Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media.
Relax.Victory is assured.

He starts from the number line — counting — and then he goes all the way up to precalculus. He just builds it up through an unbroken chain of logic. He doesn’t rely on any definitions.
