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.

On Life being P2W The earlier you accept that most of the world is pay-2-win, the better your outcomes will be. This realization will cause you to begin buying things that will pay lifelong dividends, instead of personality-corrupting goods and services. Dumb people prioritize buying things like “experiences” (duh, everyone knows to do that, but these people…
In the quest to live a good life, each of us, consciously or implicitly, chooses an ultimate value around which to orient our life. For many this value is wealth, for others it may be status, social-acceptance, happiness, pleasure, love, knowledge, or comfort. In this video, drawing from the insights of the 19th century philosopher…
Apologies are a way to gain confidence as to the brightness and excellence of your future by having a life free from unnecessary or unfair harm. The person that has harmed you needs to understand the following things: -They understand exactly what harm was done – Why that harm was unfair – How the harm…
I value my integrity.’ The abbess smiled. ‘Which is why it has a price.’ Money doesn’t matter when you’re bleeding. I know plenty. I’ve seen plenty. More than you can see from up here in your nice warm convent, paid for by all the people working down there in the city and out in the…
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…
Mantra Sadhana – To practice the utterance of a sound with such intensity, fever, and determination that your whole being starts to vibrate with that sound. You become that sound, it becomes your sound, your mantra. Your mantra – the one you not only connect with but that transports you to another dimension of consciousness.…
You are a lucky man, you get to piss away your daddy’s torture, on parties, and hookers, who quite honestly, serve a greater utility to society than you. They identify each other through plumage. We can’t define consciousness because consciousness does not exist. Humans fancy that there’s something special about the way we perceive the…
Knowledge isn’t power. Intelligent action is power. We stand on the backs of giants – We speak languages we didn’t invent, and travel on roads we didn’t pave. So too are most of the thoughts we have handed down to us, without needing to invent them ourselves. If you want to have a good time…
After every winter comes the spring, and every death is accompanied by the promise for more life. With his dying breath, Admiral Mitu Roso tried to save the children of Kiri Valley from wolves.

you have a very, ahhh, uncompromising view of a certain exercise of personal initiative that we prefer to frame in more artfully indeterminate terms. Not that I expect that to mean anything to you. There are only three people in life you can never fool—pawnbrokers, whores, and your mother. We Don’t believe in hard work…
