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.

You’ll only see your parents a few more times. Remember: It’s later than you think. Most people don’t care about you. This is liberating. Most of your friends are not your friends. They’re just along for the ride when it’s profitable, fun, or convenient. Focus on family, and depth within a closed-knit circle rather than a…
Institutions are market-beta-chasing cucks. They get paid to amass a large pool of assets and charge a management fee. Their mediocrity is protected by various financial regulations.
