@RAWMAGAMILK @bryan_johnson Imagine the guy who spent his whole life preparing for a career in PE, only to be mogged by two guys who took a bunch of time off to be PSG ultras. Then just re entered the industry casually

@Cernovich You would think that 10+ years of grifting plus leeching off your ex wife would make you immune to that

We booked flights for a friend's wedding. Won't be doing that again soon. Talk about sticker shock. I'm not even price-sensitive normally. Plane tickets are way up.

FIRE = feel miserable 24/7 live a life below your potential because you are too afraid to put in a bit more effort than others around you, so you satisfy yourself by living below your means and looking for ways to cheap out on every possible occasion (even on your own family)

I meant increasing income to the point where you still have the freedom to live life and retire early/be financially independent if that’s what you choose to do. you can do that and enjoy life at the same time. I see a lot of regular people on average salaries literally starving themselves to retire a decade or so early, while giving up prime years doing mostly nothing to achieve it.

@financedystop I don’t wish ill will on anyone. The United States has always been a rat race and you need to look out for yourself. If you aren’t prepared to embody that mentality then get ready for hard times

A lot of Americans in the 55–65 age range are getting forced into early retirement after being laid off and replaced. He spent 35 years working in IT and suddenly got let go. It’s that brutal gap where you’re not old enough to comfortably retire with benefits, but not young enough for a lot of companies that want younger and cheaper workers.

✝️ Japón acaba de abrir una grieta histórica dentro de una de las instituciones más cerradas y simbólicas del planeta: la Casa Imperial. La princesa Nobuko, católica practicante, ahora lidera una nueva rama oficial dentro de la familia imperial japonesa. No, esto no significa que “Japón será católico mañana”. Pero sí revela algo mucho más profundo: incluso en civilizaciones moldeadas por siglos de sintoísmo y secularismo moderno, el catolicismo vuelve a aparecer donde nadie lo esperaba. Mientras Occidente reniega de su herencia cristiana y se hunde en nihilismo, Japón enfrenta una crisis demográfica, espiritual y civilizacional brutal. Y en medio de ese vacío, la fe católica comienza a ganar presencia silenciosa dentro de la institución más antigua del país. La historia demuestra que las conversiones de élites cambian civilizaciones enteras. Pasó en Roma. Pasó en Europa. Y Japón ya tiene mártires, samuráis cristianos y una sangre católica que jamás desapareció. Dios escribe la historia incluso cuando el mundo cree haberlo expulsado. ✝️ Viva Cristo Rey
Abrace a Tradição@abracetradicao

Um imperador católico poderá surgir no Japão. 🇯🇵✝️ Em setembro de 2025, a princesa Nobuko de Mikasa, viúva do príncipe Tomohito e primeira integrante católica da história da Família Imperial do Japão, instituiu um novo ramo da Casa Imperial. A decisão, aprovada pelo Conselho de Economia da Casa Imperial em 30 de setembro de 2025, resulta de uma reorganização interna e marca um fato inédito desde o final do século XIX. Até então, Nobuko integrava o ramo Mikasa. Com a mudança, ela passa a chefiar sua própria subfamília independente, recebendo orçamento próprio da Casa Imperial. O fato eleva o número de ramos da Família Imperial de quatro para cinco: Akishino, Hitachi, Mikasa, Takamado e o novo ramo liderado por Nobuko. O novo ramo independente dá à princesa Nobuko orçamento próprio, residência e visibilidade maior. Como católica praticante (nascida na família Asō, batizada na infância e formada em escola católica), ela pode intensificar ações de diálogo e presença pública que valorizem valores cristãos. Isso já planta uma presença católica “dentro” da instituição mais antiga e reverenciada do Japão. Com o tempo, eventos, discursos ou patronatos da princesa Nobuko poderiam normalizar a fé católica como parte da diversidade da Família Imperial, algo inédito. Hoje, a sucessão é restrita a homens da linha masculina (Artigo 1º da Lei da Casa Imperial). Com apenas o príncipe Hisahito (19 anos em 2026) como herdeiro jovem, o Japão vive uma crise demográfica imperial. A pressão pública e parlamentar (61% dos japoneses apoiam uma imperatriz, segundo pesquisas recentes) pode levar a mudanças: permitir que princesas permaneçam na família após o casamento ou adotar descendentes masculinos de antigos ramos imperiais (pré-1947). Se as reformas incluírem maior flexibilidade, o ramo Nobuko ganha peso. Embora as filhas de Nobuko (Akiko e Yoko) não estejam na linha direta hoje, uma abertura maior poderia, no futuro distante, permitir que linhas colaterais com influência católica fossem restauradas ou destacadas. Se a linha masculina direta falhar (cenário extremo, mas discutido), o Parlamento poderia restaurar ramos extintos. Um desses ramos restaurados poderia, hipoteticamente, ter laços familiares ou culturais com o ramo Nobuko. Agora some tudo isso à profunda história do catolicismo no Japão. A Igreja Católica reconhece 42 santos japoneses oficialmente canonizados, incluindo samurais. O Brasil, país com o maior número de católicos no mundo, tem 37 santos canonizados. O potencial do Japão é enorme. Porém, no curto prazo, esse caminho ainda enfrenta enormes barreiras: embora o número de católicos no Japão esteja crescendo, o percentual ainda é baixo em comparação com a população total. O evento de 2025 é, acima de tudo, um belo símbolo de que a fé católica já respira dentro da instituição mais antiga do Japão. Isso planta uma semente que, com graça divina e providência histórica, poderia florescer de formas imprevisíveis. Um passo pequeno, mas histórico. O resto depende do tempo, da oração, da vontade e da conversão do povo japonês.

This is fascinating news and could be an early sign that Mexico is about to change radically. I mean, what's the median age of Cartel foot-soldiers? If Mexicans stop having kids, the Cartels may be deprived of the labor force that gives them violent power. Does this mean that places like northern Chihuahua will be tame, safe, relaxed areas by 2050? Will Juarez gentrify? Will northern Sonora be mostly Amish by 2075? And what of states like Oaxaca and Chiapas? Could be a fantastically interesting process to observe, and for the right high-agency, high-birthrate groups with a little coin to invest, Mexico might be an excellent long play.

If the vibes are off for you in SF, you could move to Phoenix, work from your pool, Waymo to airport terminals, ski 2.5 hrs away on weekends, use some of your tax savings to escape the summer heat in Flagstaff, and forget about whether your neighbor won the lottery or not
Deedy@deedydas

The vibes in SF feel pretty frenetic right now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I've ever seen. Over the last 5yrs, a group of ~10k people - employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders - have hit retirement wealth of well above $20M (back of the envelope AI estimation). Everyone outside that group feels like they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there. Worse yet, layoffs are in full swing. Many software engineers feel like their life's skill is no longer useful. The day to day role of most jobs has changed overnight with AI. As a result, 1. The corporate ladder looks like the wrong building to climb. Everyone's trying to align with a new set of career "paths": should I be a founder? Is it too late to join Anthropic / OpenAI? should I get into AI? what company stock will 10x next? People are demanding higher salaries and switching jobs more and more. 2. There’s a deep malaise about work (and its future). Why even work at all for “peanuts”? Will my job even exist in a few years? Many feel helpless. You hear the “permanent underclass” conversation a lot, esp from young people. It's hard to focus on doing good work when you think "man, if I joined Anthropic 2yrs ago, I could retire" 3. The mid to late middle managers feel paralyzed. Many have families and don't feel like they have the energy or network to just "start a company". They don't particularly have any AI skills. They see the writing on the wall: middle management is being hollowed out in many companies. 4. The rich aren’t particularly happy either. No one is shedding tears for them (and rightfully so). But those who have "made it" experience a profound lack of purpose too. Some have gone from <$150k to >$50M in a few years with no ramp. It flips your life plans upside down. For some, comparison is the thief of joy. For some, they escape to NYC to "live life". For others still, they start companies "just cuz", often to win status points. They never imagined that by age 30, they'd be set. I once asked a post-economic founder friend why they didn't just sell the co and they said "and do what? right now, everyone wants to talk to me. if i sell, I will only have money." I understand that many reading this scoff at the champagne problems of the valley. Society is warped in this tech bubble. What is often well-off anywhere else in the world is bang average here. Unlike many other places, tenure, intelligence and hard work can be loosely correlated with outcomes in the Bay. Living through a societally transformative gold rush in that environment can be paralyzing. "Am I in the right place? Should I move? Is there time still left? Am I gonna make it?" It psychologically torments many who have moved here in search of "success". Ironically, a frequent side effect of this torment is to spin up the very products making everyone rich in hopes that you too can vibecode your path to economic enlightenment.

Yea free housing. Good luck buying/living in it as a non citizen. Japan has made it clear they don’t want non refugee immigrants. I have made an attempt already with an immigration lawyer to become a resident. No such luck even for someone like me who has marketable skills and a track record of entrepreneurship.

If you're young in a truly rural area of the Northeast, you know this feeling. "90% of everyone in this bar is gonna be dead in the next 15 years, and when they're gone, this bar is going to close, and if I stay here, I am going to be alone." It's like a real-life horror film.
