This is a living archive of my thoughts, experiences, and hard-earned insights, drawn from an unusual life. Here you’ll find reflections on the food I’ve eaten, the things I’ve bought, the people I’ve encountered, the places I’ve seen, the books I’ve read, the quotes I’ve kept, and the trends I’ve spotted and capitalized on.
I write this for you, my children, those already here and those yet to come. Daddy loves you more than words can hold. I want each of you to live lives you’re proud of. This is my thinking, in my own voice, left here for you to explore. I hope one day it proves useful.
If, by some unlikely chance, I’m gone before I can guide you in person, let this stand as a poor substitute. But in the more likely case that I’m still here, let this serve as an intellectual archive, a record that I held these convictions long before you were born. May that give weight to my words, and credibility to the wisdom I hope to pass on to you.

We avoid smoking, abstain from drunk driving, wear helmets while riding bikes, and secure seatbelts when we’re in vehicles. These guidelines, when religiously followed, can help us eschew preventable causes of death, thereby extending our lifespans. However, humans seldom calculate…
No amount of money that I am going to give to charity will atone for the ass fucking I’m going to give you in this business. If we had come together in some other way I feel certain that we might have been something akin to friends. But that can never happen now. Despite the…
1.) Cash comes in two forms, paper money or coins, and it is created by a royal/central mint. Money that is created by the government, outsourced to their central bank. Done to meet the obligations of the private banks, which create digital money. Seignorage is the amount of money that the government makes as a result of printing…
any good could serve as the medium of exchange, as the scope and size of the economy grows it becomes impractical for people to constantly search for different goods that their counterparty is looking for, carrying out several exchanges for each exchange they want to conduct. A far more efficient solution will naturally emerge, if…
If you were to spend less time theorizing on what SHOULD happen and take some time to look at the real world to get a better accurate understanding of what IS happening. Then you will come up with much cooler ideas, that will benefit the community more. You’re assuming that the market can tell the…
How many of you have money in banks? None of you have money in banks. Please, you’re lawyers. You understand…. Bailment. It’s not your money, you have an “account” which is a legal construct that they give you in exchange for giving them an unsecured loan of your money. So that they can finance credit…
