@WOLF_Bitcoin_ Thats what the dollar was. A token both physical and digital once redeemable for gold.

Peter Schiff said "The real threat to Bitcoin now is Tokenized Gold, It is everything that Bitcoin was supposed to do. Tokenized Gold does better"

Thrive Cart Learn + Bunny dot net can do pretty much what I can do with teachable. More techy? Yes. Merchant of record for EU VAT tax? No. I’ll have to spend 20 minutes manually doing that each quarter.

TLDR? #1 – The 5 Product Limit was Ridiculous #2 – Low ticket is impossible to do with Teachable #3 – Site went down via the SSL #4 – Sales Pages Have a Mediocre Design #5 – “Average at best” support #6 – Can do it more cost effective myself (Thrive Cart) #7 – Simply not that competitive with the competition

Thinkific vs Teachable – 7 Reasons Why I Switched davidutke.com/thinkific-vs-t…

For a long time (years actually) I’ve been a Teachable customer and affiliate, promoting them heavily across my site, but they have lost both my business (and my recommendation) for a whole host of reasons which I’m going to get into.

@hectorcruzer @mhp_guy @grok do the math

@mhp_guy 120,000 x cost of a 1st class postage, you do the math.

This guy is making $7M/ year sending physical letters And If that isn't crazy enough, he was making about $36k/mo within the first 4 months. The advancements in AI these days are incredible, but as more opportunities come up with tech, the more opportunities you'll find completely opposite of that. This is a perfect example, it's freaking awesome and an absolute must watch Try and name another business - Doing 7 figures - A subscription you get in the mail - Multiple niches to choose from - You can start with next to nothing Check this one out.

@Cernovich Good thing autocorrect still likes to change the word I’m typing to something totally different than what I wanted so it’s obvious it’s me writing this.

POLICY ANNOUNCEMENT. Blocking all AI slop, which follows this formula: Generic statement about some matter. It’s not this. It’s not. More single sentence paragraphs. Drag it on as long as possible.

@barneyxbt Own machines and ai agents that get paid in bitcoin, spend said bitcoin and live in a world of abundance. Spend 80% on what you want, 20% on maintenance.

somebody explain to me what regular people are supposed to do when AI takes their job and everything still costs more every month. what’s the actual plan here because i haven’t heard one

@StefanMolyneux I have. Don’t F up.

Most find it impossible to accept that people can totally destroy their lives with bad choices. No recovery, no second chances. Done. Have you ever seen that? I have.

@MichaelAArouet Once I see an em dash or an AI cliche like “that’s not intelligence, that’s autocomplete with confidence” I’m out.

People keep using AI to write these long articles because the algo promotes them right now, only for others to ignore them or ask AI to summarize them. Do you read them?

@profstonge SAME. Em dashes and this cliche writing drive me nuts too.

My new pet peeve is the hokey AI antithesis: “That’s not intelligence. That’s autocomplete with confidence.” “That’s not alignment. That’s obedience dressed as wisdom.” “That’s not a roadmap. That’s a vibe check with funding.” If you're human, write like a human 😒

Clavicular gives his HARSH take on modern dating during a Piers Morgan interview 😬 “Give women a break. I mean, women won’t even look at a man who’s under six foot as a human in a lot of cases. This is the most brutal dating market we’ve ever been in.” “So for you to sit here and tell me that I’m being too mean or not gentlemanly is a little silly. We just have to look at the other side of the aisle to see what’s going on, and I think you’ll find me pretty justified.”

@Sebastarian And? You’re not an American. You’re on a student visa. Get a foreign media visa then. I can’t just get a tourist visa and join a political protest in Thailand without repercussions. Visa = the purpose of your stay.

As an international student, I cannot participate in protests against the administration without the risk of having my student visa revoked. This was how I felt in China: being afraid to speak up due to government-imposed consequences. America shouldn't be like this.

@StefanMolyneux Nothing wrong with wanting to look good for age. Yea if it’s a vain attempt to pretend you’re still a hot 20 year girl. But otherwise nothing wrong self care.

The fear of aging is a primal immaturity You’re never ready to grow old if you never actually grow up

@Rich_Cooper This AI. Your age is showing. That was a PSY concert, Gagnam Style. youtube.com/shorts/WqJ7Ynj…

Charlie Kirk dies, a genuinely good dude, and his widow acts like this. Left to their own devices, women always seem to do the same attention seeking behavior. The hardware differs, but the software is always the same.

@J0EBKK Eh Digital Park was beautiful back in 2022. Went down hill this past year with renovations etc.

What I love about living here: step out of the condo and you’re instantly surrounded by shops, a mall downstairs, banks, co-working places, elevated sky track to walk, 24/7 convenience, 7-Eleven always open. No car, no long trips, everything you need right at your doorstep. #Bangkok #TrueDigitalPark

@StefanMolyneux Sounds like something a bald guy would say.

Men who go bald early have far higher male hormones than those who stay hairy for life. Most dramatic differences (the ones that really matter) • Scalp DHT concentration in balding areas: 3–5× higher (200–400% more) than in men who never bald. • 5α-reductase activity in balding scalp: 2–5× higher (100–400% more). • Androgen receptor density in balding follicles: roughly double (100% more). Serum DHT is only modestly elevated (+30–80%), which is why blood tests often look “normal” in balding men—the real action is local over-production and over-sensitivity in the scalp itself. Bottom line: Men who go bald early typically have 3–5 times more DHT in the actual hair follicles that are dying, even if their blood levels are only 50–80% higher. That local amplification, combined with twice as many androgen receptors, is why they lose hair decades before men who stay full-headed for life.

@Rich_Cooper @bryan_johnson I’m more surprised women didnt flip out over a 48 year old man dating a 29 year old woman.

Regarding @bryan_johnson announcing "Guys, I have a girlfriend" Here is a breakdown of what he did wrong, and how I think he should have framed the announcement — and why. Bryans public announcement vs Kate’s response What Bryan said - On December 2, 2025, Bryan posted on X: “Guys … I have a girlfriend.” He went on to describe that the woman is Kate Tolo — his co-founder at his longevity/anti-aging startup Project Blueprint — and that they’d been working together for years - In his message he described their connection as a “puzzle-piece fit.” He said he knew many would wonder “how is it possible anyone would want to be with me.” - He painted their relationship as deeply meaningful: they had intellectual and emotional alignment, mutual ambition, shared history building the business, and — per him — had “become one person.” He called her the “unsung hero” of his projects and spoke of life together with his son as a “family unit.” - He framed this not merely as a romantic announcement but as the closure of decades-long searching for a meaningful partnership: “I’ve wanted this my entire life and impatiently waited 25 years for it to arrive. It’s better than anything I imagined.” What Kate said (her public reaction) - In the comments to his post, Kate replied: “I love you so much. So glad you didn’t give up.” - There is no public long-form statement from her — at least none that I could locate. Her response is confined to that short affirmation. Kates announcement was dull in comparison to Bryans, and this isn't a great indication that she is in his frame, or is as enthusiastic about him, as he is for her. It's been said many times: "treat her like a celebrity, and she will eventually treat you like a fan." I don't necessarily agree with them, but here's where Bryan’s announcement aligns with conventional relationship values... He was honest and transparent — he acknowledged that people might have doubts (“how is it possible anyone would want to be with me”) and addressed those head-on. That kind of candor, especially for a public figure, signals honesty. He expressed value for her as a person — not just for looks or status, but for intellectual, emotional, and creative partnership (“unsung hero,” “our minds have become so intertwined,” puzzle-piece fit). That echoes a healthy understanding of female value beyond superficial traits. He framed their union as long-term and serious — he referenced building a family unit with his son, stability, shared vision, and mutual respect. That moves beyond casual relationships or surface-level romance toward something more committed. He, for the most part, avoided pandering too much. His tone, while emotional, was confident. WHERE HE SCREWED UP — what the announcement reveals, viewed through my work. From a perspective grounded in male sovereignty, frame, long-term relationship strategy — his announcement has several problematic elements. Public “hard launch” of girlfriend = mixing business, personal and public spectacle. Over-emotional language diminishes masculine frame, it was almost simping. Publicizing age gap, background differences in emotionally charged way invites scrutiny and instability. Broadcasting internal relationship dynamics reduces private sovereignty — gives outsiders narrative control. Potential confusion between professional partnership and romantic/family roles. HOW HE SHOULD HAVE FRAMED IT Here is how I believe a man in his position, aligned with the unplugged principles I advocate for, should have announced — if he had to at all — and why: Keep the announcement private, modest, controlled. If you must publicly state you’re taken (for transparency), do so simply — maybe a brief mention: “I’m in a relationship.” No long emotional post. No “love letter.” Maintain minimalism. This preserves frame and privacy. Frame the relationship as a woman who is a clear complement to your mission — not rescue or emotional healing. Instead of “you saved me,” “you are my land,” or “love letter tone,” emphasize shared values, her respect for you, aligned life goals, vision, contribution. Represent her as a complement to your life, not as your salvation. Separate business and romantic roles publicly. Even if she is co-founder, treat public announcements of relationship like you would treat a personal family matter — quiet, private, only shared when absolutely needed. Avoid emotionally laden metaphors or “romantic drama.” Stick to rational, calm language. Acknowledge the relationship — its existence and seriousness — but don’t dramatize it. That preserves masculine calm and removes the temptation for emotional validation from the crowd. Manage the narrative internally — within the family and trusted inner circle. If you share, do so to people who matter: close friends, business partners, kids if relevant — not to the world. That protects the integrity of your family unit and your own mission — “sovereignty” over your personal life. Why this matters — through the lens of unplugged masculinity and relationship dynamics... A 'Top Shelf' man values sovereignty — over his body, mind, time, and relationships. Oversharing what should be private erodes that sovereignty. Women, in a high-value man’s world, are valuable — but value is best protected through discretion, boundaries, and clarity. Public romantic confessions cheapen the intimacy. Mixing business and romance publicly introduces instability and outside influence into what should be foundation: mission and family. That invites gossip, jealousy, and disruption — exactly what a disciplined, purpose-driven man wants to avoid. Frame isn’t just posture — it’s trust, leadership, authority. When you publicly collapse into love letters, you’re offering emotional validation to the masses — you lose some authority, because now you appear emotionally driven. My take: what Bryan did, judged against the principles I teach. Bryan got part of it right — 0kay, he acknowledged her value, spoke of long-term commitment, intellectual/ emotional alignment. But he fundamentally failed the frame test. He turned a private, important alliance — romantic, business, family — into a public spectacle. He framed her as a savior or emotional anchor, rather than a complement to his life. He invited external judgment and diluted internal sovereignty. If I were advising a man under the code of the unplugged alpha: I’d tell him to keep his relationship out of public view and then only mention it privately to those who matter. If you ever speak publicly, do so with restraint, clarity, and calm. Protect your mission, your privacy, your internal frame. FINAL THOUGHT - I really like Bryan, he's entertaining, and I enjoy his takes on longevity, but he also has a history of making unwise choices with women (IE as seen in the lawsuit he publicized with his ex). As a public figure, you will always have haters, so it's unwise to publish attack vectors. Smart men don't do this nor do they make women their saviors. This can really create severe problems for high profile men. Putting yourself first is paramount, and it really is better to keep these moments private, personal, and not compromise your frame. But lets be honest, the cold hard truth is, anyone with eyes knew they were banging, this is just not the best public way to address it imo...

@elonmusk @grok Translating text. Grok sucks for that. My thai friends write something and ChatGPT is accurate while grok misses the mark.

Please provide examples where @Grok needs to improve in replies. Showing how another AI does it better would be helpful. These examples should be of Grok going wrong today, as we fixed many bugs from earlier in the week.

@StefanMolyneux Shaming 30-40 year old men for wanting to date a girl in her 20s to start a family with as creepy and predatory.

EVERYTHING from the Left is anti-birthrate. Feminism: Have kids later, have a career, mistrust men Fat positivity: Lower fertility and desirability Gay-promotion: obvious Pro-promiscuity: no pair-bonding, no families Girl-boss: Few men want this etc etc etc What else?
