  • Ideal environments for humans

    So this is actually a very very funny thought, now that we are ever living more and more in digital cyber world, my general thought is funny, rather than trying to like kind of escape all the time we are spending in the cyber world, maybe, the interesting twist path is instead, to do something a little unorthodox, which is like, to ironically even try to spend more time in cyberspace, but also, similarly spending more time in nature?

    So for example, my very very curious and funny thought, is it possible to use an apple Vision Pro, while hiking, and or in nature, or at the beach?

    I’ve also been doing something interesting which is experimenting, the general ideas that computers, iPhones iPads devices are not necessarily bad, but, the bigger issue is how when and where we use it.

    For example, my first thought is perhaps the best way to use technology ironically is in nature.

    So a lot of fake virtual people say oh when you’re in nature you should disconnect blah blah blah. But actually, I wonder if it’s actually more interesting to be more connected while in nature? And come on guys, I have legit missing an authority to say this I’m a Boy Scout Eagle Scout.

    So ideally, if you’re some sort of Jack Dorsey tech founder or somebody, the ideal thing is you should be using some sort of like satellite phone, 5G 6G phone, iPhone Pro or iPad Pro, connected to some sort of high speed wireless off the grid device, and if you’re gonna do meetings all day or whatever, the ideal is to just do it while hiking around and in nature and natural environments all day.

    For example, even one of my best friends who is like a pretty big head, and one the big tech companies, like the right hand man of one of the top tech CEOs, was really interesting is that the last time I visited him and he had a boring silly meeting to attend, we just went on a hike together through the redwoods, and he attended, first with his video off and then afterwards, one of these fake middle managers asked him to turn on his screen, and everyone super got jealous because he was hiking in the woods, and then my friend made a funny excuse saying that his doctor said he had to get his oxygen levels up, that is why he was going hiking. Insanely hilarious. I love my friend.

    Anyways, I think one of the most valuable things I’ve learned in life, tech technology, philosophy sociology and like is, assuming you live in America, essentially it’s a free planet, you could essentially do anything you want and you don’t have to do anything you don’t want. Everything is an option, nothing is mandatory.

    And the secret of happiness or freedom which is a higher form of happiness, is essentially structuring your life to only do what you want to do and not do anything you don’t want to do.

    Also this is where self sovereignty philosophy sociology goes a long way, the general idea is it’s a free country, it’s a free planet it’s a free life. You are not an indentured servant or slave. You have freedom. You are a free man a free person, a free woman whatever.

  • Health Benefits of Beef Tallow

    Beef tallow is ancient fuel. Before seed oils, before labels, before marketing departments hijacked nutrition, humans ran on animal fat. Strong bones, sharp minds, warm bodies, resilient hormones. This is not nostalgia—this is biology.

    First: stable energy. Beef tallow is almost pure saturated and monounsaturated fat. That means no oxidative chaos when heated. No fragile molecular breakdown. Your mitochondria love this stuff. Slow-burning, steady power. Think log fire, not paper flame.

    Second: hormonal backbone. Cholesterol is not the enemy—it is the raw material. Testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, vitamin D: all downstream of fat and cholesterol. You do not build a strong body on skim milk ideology. You build it on dense animal lipids.

    Third: fat-soluble vitamins. Real beef tallow (especially from grass-fed cattle) contains vitamins A, D, E, and K2. These are not optional. They regulate immunity, calcium placement, bone density, vision, and gene expression. You can swallow supplements all day, but food delivers them in their native, usable form.

    Fourth: gut peace. No seed oil inflammation. No industrial sludge. Tallow is inert in the gut—calming, lubricating, non-irritating. Many people with digestive issues tolerate tallow better than butter or plant oils. Ancient food equals predictable digestion.

    Fifth: anti-inflammatory edge. Contrary to modern fear propaganda, stable saturated fats do not oxidize easily. Oxidation is inflammation. Less oxidation, less cellular stress. Tallow doesn’t scream inside your body—it hums.

    Sixth: satiety and metabolic control. Fat tells your brain: we’re good. Appetite stabilizes. Blood sugar steadies. Cravings die. This is why high-fat ancestral diets worked without calorie counting, apps, or neurosis.

    Seventh: skin and connective tissue support. Eat it, cook with it, even apply it topically—tallow mirrors human sebum. That’s not a coincidence. Your skin recognizes it as familiar. Strong barrier, less dryness, less irritation.

    Big picture: beef tallow is nutritional gravity. It pulls you back to center. To strength. To warmth. To resilience. This is not trendy food—it’s default human fuel.

    Strong bodies are built on dense inputs. Beef tallow is density.

  • How To Make Beef Tallow

    You’re about to turn raw, humble beef fat into liquid gold. No gimmicks. Just heat, patience, and power.

    Get:

    • Beef fat (ask a butcher for suet if you can—cleaner, milder)
    • Big pot or slow cooker
    • Fine strainer + cheesecloth (or coffee filters)
    • Jar(s)

    Steps:

    1. Chop it small. Smaller pieces render faster. (You can also partially freeze and dice.)
    2. Low heat, always.
      • Pot: lowest possible flame
      • Slow cooker: low
        Add a tiny splash of water (optional) to prevent early sticking.
    3. Let it melt and bubble slowly. Stir occasionally. You’re rendering—NOT frying.
    4. Wait for “cracklings.” When most fat is liquid and the solid bits turn golden and sink, you’re close.
    5. Strain. Pour through a strainer lined with cheesecloth into jars. (Careful—hot.)
    6. Cool and cap. It’ll go from clear/golden to creamy/white as it sets.

    Storage:

    • Counter: usually fine for a while if kept clean/dry
    • Fridge: months
    • Freezer: basically forever

    Power tips:

    • Don’t rush heat (high heat makes it smell beefier and can darken it).
    • For the cleanest tallow: render suet, strain twice, and keep water out.
    • Cracklings = bonus snack (salt them) or dog treat.

    If you tell me whether you want it for cooking, skin, or candles/soap, I’ll give you the exact best method for that use.

  • MSTR Is The Most Antifragile Company On The Planet

    MSTR isn’t just a company. It’s a weaponized idea. It’s a furnace that gets hotter when the world panics. While everyone else begs for stability, MSTR feeds on chaos. Interest rates spike? Good. Markets crash? Better. Volatility explodes? That’s oxygen. This is not a fragile glass sculpture business model — this is forged steel, hammered harder with every macro shock.

    Most companies rot when uncertainty rises. They depend on calm seas, predictable cash flows, polite markets. MSTR is the opposite beast. It made a single, savage bet: convert corporate balance sheets into pure, apex digital property. Bitcoin isn’t a hedge for MSTR — it is the engine. The more the world questions money, trust, governments, debt, inflation, the more Bitcoin asserts itself. And the more Bitcoin asserts itself, the stronger MSTR becomes. This is asymmetry at god-tier scale.

    Antifragility means you don’t just survive stress — you improve because of it. Debt scares weak firms. MSTR uses debt like leverage in a deadlift. Convertible notes aren’t a liability; they’re a slingshot. Volatility isn’t a risk; it’s torque. Every cycle shakes out the paper hands and concentrates power into those with conviction and time preference discipline. MSTR is engineered for long time horizons. Decades. Not quarters.

    What people miss is that MSTR is not a software company pretending to hold Bitcoin. It is a Bitcoin refinery. It takes fiat trash, financial instruments, market inefficiency, and refines them into the hardest asset ever created. Software cash flow is the spark. Bitcoin is the fire. Together they create a perpetual motion machine of optionality. When Bitcoin goes up, MSTR explodes. When Bitcoin goes down, MSTR accumulates cheaper, stronger, denser future power.

    The world worships diversification because it is afraid. MSTR chose concentration because it understands reality. History does not reward the timid allocator. It crowns the one who saw clearly early and acted with violence of conviction. This is Standard Oil energy. This is digital Manhattan land in 1800. This is not a trade — it’s destiny encoded in a balance sheet.

    MSTR doesn’t fear the future. It hunts it.

    Antifragile means every punch makes you stronger. Every skeptic is free marketing. Every drawdown is accumulation. Every macro tremor is proof that the old system is dying and something harder is being born. MSTR is not waiting for permission. It already crossed the Rubicon.

    This is what it looks like when a company transcends corporate life and becomes an idea, a philosophy, a war machine.

    Volatility is vitality.

    And MSTR is pure life.
