📝 Nietzsche Was an INCEL 😲

Wisdom

1/ The Solution: Isolate the thinkers with reasonable ideas from market forces and give them complete freedom and the ability to say No. “Nobody wants to put FU money into people who actually say FU. You aren’t comfortable with actual heroes” – Eric Weinstein

2/Just Do IT: Advice to younger generations; don’t waste your fertility window, start a family and learn to deal with the consequences, even if you aren’t equipped. – Eric Weinstein

3/ The Greatest Generation? (1901 – 1927): Supposedly won WWII by fighting Germans. In reality, the Soviets did the heavy lifting and physicists finished off the fight in Japan – Eric Weinstein

4/ Nietzsche Was an Incel: Every woman Nietzsche ever fell in love with was part of a romantic love triangle [He never got the girl] – Darryl Cooper

5/ Narcissists: “The narcissist deficiency is really persons inability to relate to others as separate people, with their own center and their own trajectory and to interact with them as ontological equals” – Darryl Cooper

6/ Loyalty, Voice, Exit: – Mike Maples

Loyalty: Believes in everything their country/institutions do, love it or leave it, ignorant to faults
Voice: Loves the country/institutions but recognizes spaces for improvemeAnt
Exit: Country/institutions have enough unattended faults and departs to a competing option

7/ The Ability to Exit Gives You Power: Covid has digitally separated work from location, creating exit power over local governments. Governments are being forced to treat us more like customers again rather than assets because more options emerge from the decentralization of products/services. – Mike Maples

Wealth

8/ You Can Cheat, But Don’t be an A$$hole: Erythropoietin and blood transfusions were rampant in the sport during Lance’s rise – Lance used them no more, no less – in many ways, the backlash he received is probably because of how poorly he treated people – Lance Armstrong

9/ Don’t End Up Like Dostoevsky: He had no money and a gambling addiction. Compulsion in almost any form nurtures a divided self. A person becomes a passenger at the back of their head that says “don’t do it” – Darryl Cooper

10/ Software Ate the Corporation: “The domain of technology used to be the IT department and now it’s the whole organization, the whole company,”– Michael Dell

11/ The Chip Shortage Will Get Worse: The demand for processing power is going to increase leading to the explosion of GPU and CPU demand – Michael Dell

Health

12/ There is Always a Price for That Dopamine: Pleasure and pain are co-located in the brain and work as a balance, working in equal and opposite ways. After you achieve a high, your brain resets to a dopamine deficit where your dopamine level is actually below baseline. You can leverage pain to keep the dopamine system in check: participate in effortful activity daily – this can be a creatively stimulating task, physically challenging exercise, etc. - Anna Lembke

13/ Get that IG Behind: Hip thrusters, barbell squats, deadlifts, single-leg deadlifts, heavy kettlebell swing, good mornings – Mind Pump
