Life Lessons Less Common

round 1

• Serve people, not causes or organizations. Cut out the middlemen.
• "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" is only viable if an employer's or governing body's permission is not required.
• Silence and freedom are far more valuable than money and stuff.
• Any response other than an enthusiastic yes is a no.
• Plan your days around your sleep schedule.
• Become an autodidactic Renaissance man, and people will call you a genius; a lot.
• Display your wealth and you'll paint a target on your back.
• Reevaluate the rules and systems put in place by those who are now dead.

round 2

• The lives of famous people do not belong to them.
• Read the Wikipedia page on Hyperreality to see bullshit for what it is.
• If your life requires a degree, interview the people who hold it and ask the toughest questions.
• Do not buy or rent software from publicly traded companies. Enshittification is inevitable.
• Listen to music with lyrics as the third person. Never as the first unless you want to become more like the character portrayed.
• Start your retirement project now. When you reach the age, you'll have the XP to teach others and generate income when you run out of money.
• FU money starts at 6 months' worth of living expenses.
• Minimalism is the most potent poison to the system.

That's all for now. Gotta go live.
