I think the way to do it is simple. You need to develop the mental fortitude to simply spend some time logically planning out what you want to learn/do and why, and then just start doing it. Meditation helps with this focus/execut

Agree on the first part, but what was so smart about the apartment/gold/BTC combo? Just good timing on all? Or was it more thought out than just good timing?

Interesting stuff. Around how old are you and around how much do you make? (get as general as you want)

I also think of doing the same thing. I'm 26, with $60k saved. One thing that would be cool would be to move down to like 3 cities in South America, each for a month, and become reasonably fluent in Spanish. Or for any language. Spend

Not to be an azz, but why does every pseudo-intellectual type pose this question? What is so special about the term "simulation" just because someone like Elon Musk says it? Completely useless topic to waste time and brainpower on

It helps you be more mindful and detach from the moment to moment undulations of modern life. This can be good and bad. I can meditate anywhere. But usually I sit in half-lotus, slowly easing myself into a blank state. I think about radiati

Do these people that hold bitcoin or say that they've "made amazing returns" actual cash out at any point? Or are they holding a few bitcoins like everyone else? Isn't that how a bubble forms? If I got into it, I would g
