N3on & Ryan Garcia were left in SHOCK after finding out women have to step on a WEIGHT SCALE before entering Clavicular’s house 😭 “If they don’t pass the body index, they can’t even come.”

I’ve noticed a recurring blindspot in a lot of “liberty” or "libertarian" organizations that I need to touch on. They’ll put REALLY important parts of their operations on the shoulders of volunteers, and this strategy just does NOT work out long term. As we all know, people respond to incentives. This is like day-one, baseline libertarian thinking, but somehow this principle disappears when it comes to how these groups are actually run. Volunteers are great (especially for support roles), but people have lives, priorities change, energy fluctuates and when there’s no real incentive, it’s very easy for things to quietly fall off or be done haphazardly. I'm not shitting on volunteers, this is just the reality.  If it’s IMPORTANT, it needs someone with a real reason to follow through and be responsible for it. (Especially when things get boring, difficult, time consuming or annoying.) The more essential the role, the more dangerous it is to leave it to "whoever has the time." The people with the best skillset are often very busy, they are almost never the ones available to do important work without an incentive, because they've learned that their time has VALUE. You are filtering out top talent by structuring critical roles in a way that only people with copious amounts of time (or no better options) can take them on. If you're organization is broke, get creative, but you NEED to have a strategy for incentives or you're setting your organization up for bad results.

I used to be entirely in the camp that said you should kick your kids out at 18 and force them to live independently and make their own way in the world. I don’t feel that way at all anymore. I want all my kids to live with us until they get married. Even after they’re married, if they want to live on our property, or close by, my wife and I would love that. The important thing is to teach your kids responsibility, which we’re doing. They need to contribute and help around the house, which all of our kids do from a very young age. Provided you aren’t raising ungrateful useless moochers, why kick them out? Why drive them away from your family home? I don’t see the point in it anymore. I actually like my kids and like being around them. Maybe they’ll all end up scattered to the wind. But I’d prefer to keep the family together. Why wouldn’t I?

Do you usually read multiple books at the same time?

I know of a beautiful woman who wrapped up her Chemistry PhD and went to become a cloistered nun, intending to never go outside the convent again. What a rare and strange life experience. I wonder how she’s doing in there?
