That American flag on your office wall?
You're supposed to earn it.
Somewhere after the 1950s, we started treating it like an entitlement instead of a privilege.
We used to be a nation of execution. Now we're a nation of delay.
Other countries are building in a fraction of the time it takes us to get a permit approved.
This week I called government offices, contractors and potential partners. Over and over, I hit the same wall.
Distracted. Scrolling. No urgency.
A 5 minute task turns into 5 days.
The men and women who built this country didn't move like that.
Part of me wants to walk in, point at that flag and say: you haven't earned that.
Here's what nobody wants to hear.
Put every wasted minute on a ledger. Two wasted hours a day is 500 hours a year. Now multiply that across every desk in America.
That's the high prices. That's the slow economy. That's the decline everyone complains about.
It's not just Washington. It's us.
Being an American is a privilege.
Get off your ass and earn it.

There is unlimited demand for people who can explain difficult things in simple language.
Build something
Leave your mark
Go big
F*ck small
F*ck your excuses
Don’t ask permission
Don’t look in the past
Only forward
Americans are not victims
We are the last bastion of freedom in the world
And they hate us because of it 🇺🇸

> Haiti gangs snatch 4 Salvadorans
> they think they just bought themselves a negotiation
> Bukele goes public saying bring them back or you're done
> they try to hand him 4 random bodies and say it was them
> he calls out their bs
> sends 2,000 troops into Haiti
> tells the leader to gather their gangs so he can fight them
> gangs run to the UN for a deal
> refuses all deals
> ignores the UN mandate
> pushes into gang territory and starts cleaning them
> does more in two weeks than the UN did in 13 years
Bukele might be the greatest leader of the 21st century
Every system they built was designed to keep my generation renting, single, and broke.
So we did the opposite.
Married. Kids. Land. Companies. Last year was my highest income yet. This year even bigger
Homes up 402%. Paychecks up 254%. And my family still grew every single year.
Build a fuck you family 💵 . It's the only revolution that works.

The older I get the more I realize that most career advice is just people defending a path they already took.
Americans used to be bad asses
Now they are mostly victims

Truth is not consensus
AI is a mirror, not an oracle.
AI is not truth, it was programmed by the crowd. By the majority. And the majority is most of the time wrong.
AI is centrifugally spiraling towards the majority of humans “wants” and not the truth
We are sort of manifesting our future and creating a beast that can’t be argued with no matter how wrong it is

I’m in love with this sentence:
The biggest risk is spending your life avoiding risk.

Dumb people try to be productive every waking hour.
Smart people alternate between intense work and deep rest.

A 130 IQ man can learn to talk at a 90 IQ level, for the sake of appealing to the roughly 100 IQ masses.
A 90 IQ man can NEVER learn to talk at a 130 IQ level.
Smart people can learn to talk dumb.
Dumb people cannot learn to talk smart.

Being the best is a business plan.
Being the cheapest is a business plan.
Just don't be in the middle.
