Elliot Page is He-Man!

300, but instead of Gerard Butler, it’s Elliot Page.

Okay. I'm ready to talk about this. It was the worst month of my life. Also ironically the greatest blessing god has ever given me. Last month I was held in the Cayman Islands facing 15 years in prison. The charge: illegal firearm importation. Here's what happened. More importantly what I learned. Short answer: no. I haven't been smuggling guns. In the States I legally carry a gun on me at almost all times for self defense. Part of this is ensuring I am trained. Hence why I routinely go to the range to shoot. When I do I pack the firearm I intend to use in in a backpack. Last month I was in a giant rush to make a private flight and didn't fully check my backpack before leaving. In it was a small firearm I missed. It was discovered when I went through immigration. At first I assumed I'd just be sent home. Then my wife did some quick research. She pointed out the minimum sentence for importing a gun is 15 years. The police who showed up confirmed it. To say I nearly pissed my pants is an understatement. This was completely my fault. I'm an idiot. The point of this post isn't to blame or complain about anything. The laws there are fair. I'm a grown man capable of checking his bag before flying. The point is: for three weeks on the island (on bail), I got to take a long hard look at my life. I've built a high net worth and a company I love, with people I love working with. I have a beautiful wife who is my best friend. I do whatever I want all day every day. My parents are alive and I get to see them almost every week. Still, despite all this, I often wake up annoyed I haven't done enough with my life. Asking myself "is this it?" In fact I'm pissed half the time, feeling I can do better. Which is ironic. I made $20,000 a year in the military. If you'd told me then I'd achieve a 9 figure net worth and all the above, I would've assumed I'd consider my life a dream. The twist truly hit me on the island as I watched everything I worked hard for in my life held at "gunpoint". Pun intended. Everything I worked so hard to get — poof. Didn't matter for shit. The way the law works there are simple : if you can't prove it was an accident, the minimum is 15 years. It became glaringly obvious. Not only was I an absolute idiot who couldn't pack his own bag. I'd also become a fool who couldn't enjoy the blessings I already had. I'd taken all the people in my life and the success totally for granted. Blind. Blind. Blind. Nothing like a 20-year potential sentence to make you realize: waking up with fun stuff to work on, then chilling on the couch reading with your wife at the end of the day — that's about as good as it gets. I should be euphoric 24/7. To go from having it all, to potentially not even having the option to piss and shit when you want — that's a wake up call if there ever was one. Luckily, the Caymans is a fair place. I was found under exceptional circumstances during my trial. AKA the judge and the courts reviewed the case and agreed it was an accident. I still love the island. It's probably my favorite place to vacation. Just check your luggage before you go. Ha. My point is this: be present. Enjoy your life. One day something could happen — even by complete accident — and yoink it all away. I have so many friends who'll read this and by all definition live a "dream life" — and yet are dissatisfied just like I was. If anything this is the default for most successful men. Not the exception. I'm writing this to help you stop. It took god slapping me across the face with my own ignorance to see it. It was painful and scary. Dark. But honestly, it was the greatest blessing I've ever received. I'm writing this from my office at home, giddy as absolute fuck about my life and everything I have the option to do today. If anything, I'm sad about how much time I wasted feeling otherwise. Don't be ignorant and stupid like me. You might not get the blessing of a 15-year prison threat in a foreign country to wake you up. Wake up. Appreciate what you have now.

JUST BUY IT. $TAO

@Mericamemed Troy is an epic movie

At this point, instead of watching Odyssey, I'm gonna rewatch Troy

bittensor subnet registration cost went from 230 TAO to 1,500 TAO ($470k). 128 active subnets scaling to 256. each new launch removes $470k of liquid supply from a float where 73% is already staked. chutes doing $22k/day in real inference revenue at $123m market cap, targon at $10.5m ARR at $93m. the subnet alpha tokens are trading at 9-15x revenue multiples while TAO acts as the index. the supply math on TAO tightens with every subnet that launches regardless of price action

Then and Now

She’s not, and that’s the point. This isn’t about authenticity or storytelling anymore. It’s about tearing down everything people once admired, strength, heroism, masculinity, beauty, tradition. It’s about diminishing men, eroding cultural identity, and weakening the foundations of the nation state itself. This is fifth generation cultural warfare masquerading as entertainment. Resist western man. Resist.

I will not go and see Christopher Nolan’s "The Odyssey", not even from a critical perspective. I am a cinephile, and I know Nolan is an excellent director, but he deserves to be sanctioned. 🛑 Anyone who obeys the new woke norms no longer deserves our money. This must become a habit, a trend: these deeply harmful films that degrade our image internationally must fail at the box office. Let’s launch this operation: who will NOT go to the cinema to see this spit in the face of our civilization? Let millions of us boycott it. Share if you agree. I am not asking this to create buzz for myself, but because I WANT this film to fail.

@unherd @SpencerKlavan One of the dumbest and twisted things I’ve ever heard 🤡🤡

Most people still don’t realize it yet but… $TAO is becoming the Bitcoin of AI. AI is the biggest narrative in the world right now and Bittensor is building the decentralized economy behind it. The real opportunity? Subnets. Remember the early Ethereum and Solana days? Every strong project in those ecosystems was doing 100x–1000x left and right. That’s the kind of asymmetric opportunity subnets could become.

2 Millions views! Congrats @wallstreetbets Everybody has been warned 🔥 bittensor:native

Teutonic 80 B is the largest decentralized training ever.

Jaja 🤣 🤣

What happened to our movies?

When you finally open your $TAO bags in 2030.

I was looking forward to going to the cinema to watch The Odyssey. It would have been the first time going in a decade. I love epic films. But I’m not going now for this film is going to be woke crap. Helen Of Troy is now black. And Achilles is a trans man. I hate Hollywood.
