My fellow retards,
“Consistency is the playground of dull minds”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
If you’re looking to the status quo, hoping to change your stars in that context, you have a very low chance to succeed. If you’re hoping to rise above your station by serving your betters, you have a very low chance to succeed. Selling your time for steady income is a good way to get by, but a terrible way to get ahead. Further, it breeds dullness of the mind. Your skills deteriorate. You ride the rut of complacency into a living prison.
How do you get ahead? How do you break away from the yoke of servitude?
You need to work for yourself, not for others. Entrepreneurship was common throughout America’s history. Far more common now to be a cog in a big machine. You need to build equity in yourself. You need to invest in exponential moonshots. That six percent yielding boomer stock is okay at protecting a large portfolio, but it will never get you ahead. Frankly you’ll probably lose money because of runaway inflation brought about by idiotic policies.
Nassim Taleb writes about a barbell approach. Your safe plays are the counterbalance to your moonshots. The past decade had some good ones, bitcoin, then Ethereum, then the L1s that spawned in Ethereum’s shadow. Now there are projects where you can own the protocol itself. This should be your focus. Find competent teams, invest in the technology, help grow the ecosystem.
Phon/ongod believes Phonon is one of those investments. Which do you believe in?
