@HawaiiCrusader Also DM me if you want to know where we are specifically relocating to in NY. I've found an excellent and fairly affordable area that hits all the notes. We're looking at a house there tomorrow.

During early childhood, not only should the mother not work -- the dad should really try not to work very much either.
Families should go to great lengths to maximize time spent with mother, father, and child.
This is a lot of why I've ever been into extreme frugality, anti-9-to-5, etc. Because I had an absent father, and it sucked. I noticed that many of my childhood friends whose fathers worked "real jobs" suffered similar problems as I did. Nobody was teaching the boys to be men; dads were too busy working to protect their daughters. Even if mom was home and didn't work, they missed out on their father's presence in the home.
The kids that turned out the best seemed to have grown up in households where mom never worked, dad only occasionally worked (part-time, self-employed, various "hustles"), both parents spent tons of time with the kids, and usually, this lifestyle was made possible by the fact that the family owned their home outright, with no mortgage.
"Jobs" as we know them are a novel product of the industrial revolution. Nothing about them is really anthropologically normal. And so far as family formation is concerned, a father who works a full-time job is almost as much of as hazard as a mother who works at all.
The true key is a dirt-cheap, sub-$50k house, zero debt, and an ultra-low-cost lifestyle, so that dad can work very casually, occasionally, etc.

@_Dave__White_ @blockbird What are you doing?
I feel like if you can hold gold assuming no carry cost that’s a good start, same btc
The real concern is singularly either means we live in dystopia or utopia maybe that is my black white view but it’s hard to see any other outcome if asi

@blockbird idk you still gotta do something with your assets, are they going into NVDA or cash or a farm or what

investing while believing in the singularity is a really weird thing
on the one hand, if you believe we’re hitting takeoff soon, a lot of stuff is just obviously going to be worth more than consensus thinks
on the other hand — let’s say we hit ASI and human labor value goes to 0. is wealth *really* going to be determined by your paper ownership in some thing? are we even going to be around to enjoy it?
it’s kind of like the Keynes thing about how it doesn’t make sense to bet on the end of the world because you won’t be around to collect
one thing that *may* plausibly matter is assets in the short term, if these become usefully or necessary for survival. like you want to have food and medicine on hand if there are short term disruptions, the means to get to safety, etc.
and then on the flip side of that there is some IMO vanishingly narrow set of worlds where we hit the singularity and somehow we end up respecting paper wealth and are ok with the massive permanent inequality ensuing from basically keeping everyone frozen where they were in 2027 but blowing out the tails and so THEN goblin brain is like imagining how much cooler it would be to own three galaxies than 10% of one.
But I think by and large the tendency from the people playing this game is not to think in these terms, e.g. that the outcome that’s coming is likely going to fundamentally change the rules of the game. It’s just not a comfortable framework and leads your direction of action to weird places, e.g. stockpiling medicine or figuring out resilient food supply chains for once shit hits the fan, which feels in a different category than owning 20 bips of a chip fab
is anyone on top of this yet?

Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon.
As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation.
I’ve never seen something like this.

growing up in the west you’re led to believe only people in places like north korea are brainwashed
but the only way to liberate yourself from brainwashing is to live in multiple different countries
