Why do we put up with the way this world is wired? Animals just are. They don't dread Mondays or wish for the weekend. We built civilization, which I like, and then forgot how to just be.

I talked with a successful business owner today. Many locations, owns the land under them. The thing he was most excited about had almost nothing to do with that business. It was the one project that holds everything he knows, loves and is good at. That's the dream trying to come up. You have to do that.

If this is a consciousness simulation, then I'm here by my own choices, and I decide what the purpose is. Making money is not a purpose. It's a tool. The game defends itself exactly where you're weakest, so the closer you get to your real purpose, the more it costs. Hormozi says the price of success is being willing to be humiliated. I'd go further: it shouldn't even register as a price. The people mocking someone who is genuinely walking their path are either NPCs or people who have tragically lost themselves. It's noise. Let it fade.

I use AI all day, every day. Don't outsource your thinking, your decisions or your soul to it. It doesn't know the real you. Only you do.

I'm a bit of a hypocrite here too. Am I living 100% toward my purpose? Kind of. Not fully. So this one is a note to self: control the actions, the attitude and the energy every day, stop obsessing over outcomes, and be patient.

The algorithm has been feeding me videos of the GQ interview with Tom Cruise, and I was impressed and slightly saddened by his candor talking about his dreams still for life in his mid-60's, and how he learned early to shut up about his dreams and just work harder than everyone else to achieve them.

What an indictment on our society that those with dreams are forced to hide them from the light simply to avoid the toxicity that comes with sharing them, even with people in our "inner circle".

Also, I built an app for that.

Long-term goal is connecting it with the SovereignHub platform so any ventures a user is involved in, their personal life dashboard can automatically import the revenue from those businesses and populate the financial side of life that way. Tasks and more can also flow bi-directional.

Just a little something I had a dream to build in 2016 and have been using this year for myself.

A couple guys got kicked out of a sovereignty group I’m in recently for devolving a heated digital argument into ad hominem attacks.

These are people with hundreds of thousands of followers and plenty of success and wealth, yelling at each other like schoolboys.

I don’t agree the admin should have booted them - I just think they should have to entertain us and physically fight!

Because if they’re not willing to do that, then STFU, but also, then I don’t trust you with the fight against The System™ and our battle to defend the soul of humanity.

The rule should be simple, debate and scream and yell if you want BUT focus on the issue (ergo, “debate”),

and if you devolve to ad hominem attacks then both parties have to get in the octagon (or out behind the building, whatever) and fight it out. Like men did back in the day.

Being behind a screen makes intolerable posturing and juvenile fighting exponentially more prevalent than it would be in person.

And if two grown-ass men would go at it like that in person over “it’s da (people group we cannot mention here)!” or “it’s descendents of Barbary pirates from 800 years ago!” then by all means, let them take out some of that aggression physically.

UFC is a multibillion-dollar biz for a reason, and now so is youtubers with beef if we as a collective group of individuals are going to survive, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to implement a similar policy.

We’d probably have even MORE healthy debates that led to ******* Fight Night at meetups, there’s always underlying tension in groups of alphas.

Frankly that’s evolutionary and healthy - packs of wolves without squabbles don’t stay fresh or mean enough to survive.

I’d posit we’re all too fucking soft if we grew up in the west.

The digitization of that aggression (mostly male) has not made any of us better, and the feminization of our tangible world has played into the simmering rage under the surface as well. A double-whammy.

Bring back bareknuckle brawls! Or at least weighted-glove UFC-style fights.

Man up or shut up.

There's a silent epidemic of men who crave the chase for greatness and desire to create a better world - but the way we grew up is holding us back from the synergy of collaboration.

I don’t have a lot to say outside of what I said in the video, other than, let’s get this game going guys, let’s run!

I’m sick of standing around and yapping, and I’m sure there are many more who are as well, let’s play ball. If that resonates with you, take a 3 minute survey about the platform I’m building to solve exactly this problem, called SovereignHub:

Thanks for listening and being willing to actively participate!

If you’re still reading, please fill it out. Seriously it’s only a couple minutes of your time and every bit of feedback, even hyper-negative, is usable information in building this.

A look at why it’s worth it to tear down the institutionalized trading of favors, pull, and graft, in order to build a new structure which facilitates building through proof of work and quantifiable obsession.
