Too Prescient…: “Strong smart men create good times and nuclear weapons, good times create weak men, weak men and nuclear weapons create end times” – Eric Weinstein

Just Start a Garden, You Don’t Need to Go Full Prepper: It’s not all about self-sufficiency, it’s about self-reliance - Tamar Haspel

If You Miss the Road, You’ll Miss All The Stops Along The Way: By removing ourselves from the food process, we miss out on the opportunity to acquire adjacent and tangible skills. How to use power tools (building a chicken coop), how to use a knife (filleting a fish), how to back up a trailer (miscellaneous tasks), and how to identify edible food (foraging)–these are some skills Tamar mentioned she gained along the way in her first-hand food journey.  - Tamar Haspel

Man in the Car Paradox: When you see someone driving a nice car, you probably don’t think, “Wow, that person is cool.” Instead, you think, “Wow, if I had that car people would think I’m cool.” Do you see the irony? No one cares about the guy in the car. Have fun; buy some nice stuff. But realize that what people are really after is respect, and humility will ultimately gain you more of it than vanity. – Morgan Housel

The Paradox if Leverage: “If you’re smart, you don’t need leverage. If you’re dumb, you shouldn’t be using it” – Morgan Housel quoting Warren Buffett

Zuck Isn’t All In On Free Speech, Obvi: “When there is an acute threat, it does make sense from a societal perspective to tolerate less speech” – Mark Zuckerberg
