"If a man is not inviting you to his home, he is not thinking about making you his home. ... Women just decide to go against it because they want that trip, they want that bag, they want that experience. We have to stop wanting experiences at the expense of our dignity, at the expense of our respect, at the expense of our self love. If a man is trying to fly you out the country or the state that he lives in to see you or date you, he has a wife or a woman. 100%. The first place you should be going, when you visit this man, is to his house." - Dr. Cheyenne Bryant

“How Can I Call You To Come See Me Because I Want To Support Your Business With ₦500k, And You’re Telling Me To Send Transport Money Before You Come. This Is Free Money We’re Talking About, And You Can’t Even Make An Effort To Raise Transport Fare Even If It Means Borrowing. The Distance Isn’t Even Far. But If It Were To See a Man, You Would Find The Money To Go. This Just Shows You’re Not Serious. In Life, When You See An Opportunity, You Grab It Because It May Never Come Again.”~ Lord Zeus Calls Out a Lady Who Refused To Show Up For An Offer To Support Her Business Because Of Transport Fare.

Kevin Hart gives his biggest piece of financial advice “You don’t understand finances until you mess up and have a better version of respect for it” “Everybody has the best money advice in the world but I’m just gonna keep it 100. Making the money one time, easy. Keeping the money after you made it, hard. Making it again, harder” “Banking wasn’t a thing that was discussed in my household. When you talk about what you should do, what you’re supposed to buy, how you’re supposed to save, how you’re supposed to invest, I didn’t get all this until… I’m in my 30s” “I would say to the younger generation that is now making money, security and protecting yourself so that you are never without, it should be a priority” “Getting out of the hole is what made me respect the hole. I respect finance. I respect investing. I respect making your money make money for you” “I’m smarter at the age 47. You look at me, go back to 35, 36 man, it was not the same”

What would you have done if you were in her shoes?👀🤔 “Imagine your phone went bad and to fix your phone is over 450k and then you told the person you were dating because your phone is your only source of income and he was like he does not have any money at the moment that he will give you the money next two weeks and you told him that you cannot be without your phone for two weeks that even if he has half of the money he can give you so you can be able to rally round and get the money because you have a lot of pending deals to deliver on the phone,and he insisted he doesn’t have anything to give you not even 10k. So you were able to rally round and repair your phone then during this period your partner who’s suppose to get married to you travelled to Abuja for a work then after you were able to fix your phone he came back and call you that you should come over then when you get his place, you noticed that he came back with two suitcase and because he travelled with only one. When you opened the new suitcase because he was trying to sort out the things that he bought and you’re seeing designer things and you’re just hailing him that the things he bought are looking fine o and he casually said that the purse you’re holding his 1.5million so when you did your calculations you noticed that the things he bought was more than 7million naira, and this was the same person you asked for 450k or even half of the money so that you can get your phone repaired and he said he doesn’t have any money. You got offended but you locked up then after like two days you asked him about the money that you borrowed money and you need to pay the people back and he started with his normal tales that he has no money and you said that okay no problem then you went back to your house. During the weekend normally you go to your babes house so when you got to his place he told you there was no soup or stew that you need to cook so you gave him a list and there is a drawer beside you then you opened it,you saw bundle of cash in the drawer and with a rough estimate you were about to count his up to 400k and when you told him about the amount for the food he didn’t even price it, he just gave you the money. After cooking for him th en you reminded him about the money you used to repair your phone that even if it is 190k but he told her to hold on that he will give you next week. The next week you called your partner again and he said you should wait till Friday. On Wednesday evening, he called you that his friend is hosting a party and he wants you to go with him and sent you 75 k to get something to wear. At the party your partner was spraying money and getting hyped. He then gave you one bundle that you should spray the celebrant which you did,in your head he was going to give you the money to pay people that you’re owing. Friday comes and he didn’t say anything about it. At that point you were already p!ssed and when he called you raised your voice at him that you don’t mean anything to him then he said you’re disrespectful person and he ended the call. So base on you were angry you also didn’t call and hustle for the money then after like 5 days in your head you already broke up with the guy. After like 5 days your partner called you and asked where are you? that he’s coming to your house and you told him that he should not come to your house, he opened the message but didn’t respond then he came knocking at your door after a while you opened for him and he was acting like everything is okay asking how are you then you tried explaining he just kept apologizing. So now you’re confuse, you’re contemplating ‘are you going to forgive a man that treated you like you mean nothing to him or just understood that period was rough for him —- Lady shares a story asking for advice😕🤔

How Jeffrey Epstein rose from maths nerd, to a financial fixer for elites, to the boss of blackmail: ‘If you look at Epstein’s operation, what it looks like to me is that it’s a criminal operation on a number of different levels. Epstein is an interesting case because where does he come from? Well, he doesn’t come from a wealthy family. He doesn’t come from an influential family. He was a Long Island kid who was good at mathematics…he was a kind of smart, nerdy kid who made friends by doing their math homework. You’re not popular because you’re a jock. You’re not popular necessarily because you’re that good-looking or you dance well. You’re popular because you can do other people’s math homework and get them to pass. His whole career is ingratiating himself to wealthy, powerful people. What did he do as a financial advisor? Look at it. Just stand back and look at what he did. And what he did was that he helped them dodge taxes. He also helped them hide money. He could help people discover money that had been hidden abroad. He could help them hide money. If you do one, you can do the other. And that’s how he moved as a kind of fixer and arranger into the realm of the rich and powerful. And in that process, either he or other people who were working with him found out that these people can be compromised in a number of ways. And so then you start installing cameras in your residences, in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. There’s only one reason you do that. It’s fairly simple. The only reason why you collect all of this video information on your rich and powerful friends is to potentially use it as leverage against them. You don’t have to actually use it. You simply have to make them aware that you have it and could use it.’ -Prof. Richard Spence on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW:

Qullamaggie on Tough Life of a Successful Trader “Being a consistently successful trader is a tough life, man. You gotta put in so much effort to get to that level. Most people just give up. If you want to be a successful trader, you really need to want it. If you think you’re gonna do this on the side, you know make some money and then go do some photography or art the rest of your life, you’re not gonna make it. It needs to be your calling; otherwise, you can just put your money in the index funds and be better off. You need to be a little bit obsessive like you can’t focus on too many other things. It’s the same way with everything. If you want to be top performer in any field, it’s the same thing - that needs to be your main focus. You can’t do anything else. It needs to be your main focus."

Alex Karp, Palantir: “At a certain level of accomplishment, you’re in an artistic space where it’s very hard to explain why you have your insights.” "There’s one country in the world where you get rewarded for that.. in America, if you deliver, you can be you.” “This is a maximal freedom culture… & that self-expression—because it’s not playbook—creates an environment that is exceedingly hard to compete with & will piss off all the right people.” . . . "I think in the end, to do something important—whether it’s me, or @elianoayounes, or look at all these people here—these are among the best and most talented people in the world. At a certain level of accomplishment, you’re in an artistic space where it’s very hard to explain why you have your insights, and it goes way beyond experiences that have of course also influenced them. But I just have artistic impulses, and they shape my life, and I’ve allowed myself—or I’ve been forced to allow myself—the freedom to live that way. And there’s one country in the world where you get rewarded for that, because in America, if you deliver, you can be you. You’re your own boss, right? You decide who you want to talk to, you decide who you don’t want to talk to. You have ideas of things you’d like to advance on. And I think one of the biggest variables in my life is simply that I live in a culture where if you deliver—in this case economically—and by the way, at 18, for most investors, we were failing for at least 15 years. Many would say 18 years. Honestly, some would say until two years ago. And still, this is a culture where the financials are going to show up. That’s only possible in this culture. I guess maybe because I lived abroad so long, it’s easier for me to accept and rely on that. I think sometimes people who’ve lived here their whole life don’t always exactly understand that this is a maximal freedom culture. It’s the only culture like this in the world, and it allows you to self-express. And if you self-express, that self-expression—because it’s not playbook—creates an environment that is exceedingly hard to compete with and will piss off all the right people."

.Keith Rabois on the most important lesson he learned from Peter Thiel: You can’t hire anybody over 30. “Peter might not say it exactly the same way today, but basically, what he was trying to say is this: by the time you’re 30, everyone on the planet knows how to assess you pretty accurately. There are enough data points on your resume—back then, it was your resume, and today, it’s your LinkedIn profile—so that everybody can come to a consensus view about your abilities. But if you come to a consensus view about everybody’s abilities, guess what? Google is going to spend a lot of money on that person. Or OpenAI is going to spend a lot of money on that person. Or Meta is going to spend a lot of money on that person. And, when you’re a startup, you can’t outspend large companies that are very profitable or have infinite money like OpenAI. You need to be much more disciplined, much more frugal, and you may not even want to hire these people. The people who are motivated by that much compensation may not even be the right builders. I took that advice with me literally from November 2000, and I’ve been trying to apply it for 24 years now.”

Sometimes, give them, it might help you someday.” — A man shares how he was almost robbed on his way home at night, only to realize that one of the touts he regularly gave money to was among the robbers. The man recognized him, spoke to the others, and that was how he was spared from being robbed. 😭👏🏽

Chris Williamson shared a difficult truth about changing your life that most people never talk about. “If you do it well, you might have to go through a period where you let go of all of your friends. But the really bad realization is if you do it really well, you might have to do that multiple times throughout your life.” He explains that every major transformation comes with hard decisions and most people think the hardest part of growth is taking the first step. It isn’t. The hardest part is realizing that every major chapter of your life may require you to leave behind people, places, and versions of yourself that no longer align with who you’re becoming. “If you’ve truly changed, don’t expect every friendship to come with you. Sometimes growth means finding your people more than once.” Every meaningful change eventually forces the same question: “Do I want to move forward on my own, or do I want to go back with my friends?” One of the most honest conversations I’ve heard about why so few people actually change.

Tucker Carlson said something raw that cuts straight to the heart of marriage: “A wife who won’t stand by you in turmoil is hell on earth.” He says the real test of a marriage isn’t the good times — it’s when the husband loses his job, gets attacked, or things go wrong. That’s when you discover what your wife is truly made of. His blunt truth: the deepest desire of every man is to have his wife standing beside him. A wife who believes in you gives you strength, and that belief is often the key to success in life. It’s uncomfortable… but it rings true. Married guys — has a moment of crisis ever shown you exactly what your marriage (and your wife) is made of?

Money is just a scoring system. The real privilege? Freedom!! Freedom to live where you want, surround yourself with the right people, and align your life with your values. But even more powerful than freedom is the true currency of life: experiences! Experiences shape us in ways money never can. They push us to explore, to understand, to connect. They teach us to see the beauty in the world and embrace its complexity. They remind us that the most valuable things—insights, relationships, personal growth—can’t be bought. You have to earn them by stepping out of your comfort zone and truly living... At the end of the day, life isn’t about stacking wealth; it’s about accumulating moments that change your perspective. That’s where the real value lies...

I’ve said many times before that I never wanted to join THE REAL WORLD because I thought it was a scam. My woman gave me the $49.99 so I can try it and hopefully give us a better life. It goes without saying that it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m eternally thankful to the Tate brothers AND THEIR TEAM for not only teaching me how to make money but the mentality and discipline that it comes from being successful. It’s not just about filling your pockets with money. It’s about making YOU successful mentally, physically and financially. If you won’t do it for yourself, do it for someone you love.

🦚: They asked me how I managed to stop drinking. Do you want the emotional answer or the realistic one? As for how I stopped drinking… If I answer emotionally, it’s because of the promises I made to my fans, my livestreams with them, and because I care about my image. That’s why I’ve been gradually cutting back on alcohol. But realistically… well, to be honest, it comes down to money. You spend your money to come to my concerts. If I drink, ruin my voice, or can’t hit the high notes because of alcohol… then what about the money you paid? I’m being too realistic, aren’t I? But it’s true. When money is involved and people pay to see you, it means you have a responsibility to give them your best.

🦚: They asked me how I managed to stop drinking. Do you want the emotional answer or the realistic one? As for how I stopped drinking… If I answer emotionally, it’s because of the promises I made to my fans, my livestreams with them, and because I care about my image. That’s why I’ve been gradually cutting back on alcohol. But realistically… well, to be honest, it comes down to money. You spend your money to come to my concerts. If I drink, ruin my voice, or can’t hit the high notes because of alcohol… then what about the money you paid? I’m being too realistic, aren’t I? But it’s true. When money is involved and people pay to see you, it means you have a responsibility to give them your best.

If you have a son or daughter who's starting to think that socialism is the answer to our problems, I want you to try something and report back: Next time you talk, don't argue. Sit down, ask these questions, and just listen: - When you say "socialism," do you mean that you want the government to pay for a bigger safety net like in Denmark, or that the government owns the means of production? Because those are two very different countries. - You say the system is rigged. Who rigged it? And who should be handed the power to un-rig it? - Who sets the price of bread? If not a single person or corporation, what causes that price to remain steady or go up? - Can you name a country where the state took ownership of the means of production and the poor got richer? - When borders open or the walls fall down, anywhere in the world, which direction do people run? Towards the free market system or the socialist system? And before the boundaries fell, which way were the guns pointed? - Would you rather be poor today, or rich in 1900? By the way, only one of those has antibiotics. - If you and I make a voluntary trade, and we both walk away happy, who got hurt? - Someone has to decide what your work is worth. Would you rather it be you and the person paying you, or a bureaucrat with an army who has never met either of you? Try having this conversation with your kids this week. Don't argue. Only listen. And if you want, call into my radio show and tell me how it went.

a16z co-founder Ben Horowitz: “Don’t follow your passion” Ben gives this advice to the Columbia University class of 2015: “Don’t follow your passion. Now I know you’re probably thinking: ‘That’s a really dumb idea because if you poll 1,000 people who are successful, they’ll all say they love what they do. And so the broad conclusion of the world is that if you do what you love, then you’ll be successful.’ But we’re engineers, so we know that might be true. It also might be the case that if you’re successful, you love what you do — you just love being successful, everybody loves you, it’s awesome. So which one is it?” He continues: “The first tricky thing about passions is they’re hard to prioritize. Are you more passionate about math or engineering? Are you more passionate about history or literature? Are you more passionate about video games or K-pop? These are tough decisions. How do you even know? On the other hand, what are you good at? Are you better at math or writing? That’s a much easier thing to figure out. The second thing that’s tricky if you’re going forward in time with this ‘follow your passion’ idea is that what you’re passionate about at 21 is not necessarily what you’re going to be passionate about at 40. Now this is true for boyfriends, as well as career choices. The third issue with following your passion is that you’re not necessarily good at your passion. Has anybody ever watched American Idol? So you know what I’m talking about. Just because you love singing doesn’t mean you should be a professional singer. And then finally, and most importantly, following your passion is a very ‘me-centered’ view of the world. And when you go through life, what you’ll find is that what you take out of the world — money, cars, stuff, accolades — is much less important than what you put into the world. And so my recommendation would be to follow your contribution. Find the thing that you’re great at, put that into the world, contribute to others, help the world be better. That is the thing to follow.” Video source: a16z (2015)

Mourinho comments on football's recent tactical revolution. "I think the problem is when people want to make copy-paste without having the conditions for it. If you want a full-back playing inside, you need a player with a certain adaptability. If a full-back is weak on attack, I like to say that he shouldn't attack from the inside or from the outside. He should stay back and build alongside the centre-backs. Something I don't like is when I see coaches trying to copy-paste things they saw but doing it in completely different contexts. If you want to build with the goalkeeper with a goalkeeper that has a wooden leg, it will be complicated. For example, when Pep arrived to Manchester City, the goalkeeper was the best English goalkeeper, which was Joe Hart. Pep didn't want Joe Hart, he wanted Claudio Bravo, coming from Barcelona with that culture of playing from behind. But then it wasn't enough, he wanted more than Claudio Bravo, so he signed Ederson, who could play short and long. If you want to copy-paste the ideas of a coach who can buy, and buy, and buy, it will be complicated. And then you also have those coaches who try to do things that just don't work, and because of that they die, but they say 'I died but I died by my ideas'. My friend, if you died by your ideas you are stupid."

Tax expert explains what happens if you owe millions to the IRS and can’t pay “If you owe the IRS and you legitimately don’t have the money to pay them, you have two options. You can either get on a payment plan or you can do an offer in compromise” “Now the payment plan only works if your tax bill is $50,000 or less. So if you’re making millions and you owe millions, you’re in a situation here” “This is where the offer in compromise comes in. The IRS knows you probably aren’t going to be able to pay them back with the income that you currently have sitting inside your savings account or the income that they can see coming in” “So if you can show that you’ve had a negative economic gain, you’re making less money, you’re not able to really grow your revenue, they will start to focus on creating a compromise with you” “We call these OICs. This is where you offer the IRS a reduced amount and you compromise on that amount and hopefully you can pay that in a lump sum and be able to rid away with your IRS debt” “Or what they’ll also allow for you to do is pay a percentage of it in a lump sum and then get the rest on a payment plan”

🧵07/34 HGI - Human General Intelligence and Freedom of Will --- To better understand how this works, let’s consider a General Intelligence that exists today and you will be very familiar with: the Human General intelligence, or HGI if you like. - The human has a day-job. - Doing that well is an instrumental goal that leads to money. - Money is another instrumental goal which may lead maybe to… buying a bigger house where the human can raise a family. - The family is an instrumental goal that leads to a sense of purpose and happiness. We could stop there and call that the deepest primary objective, or terminal goal, - although biologists would argue that even pursuit of happiness is an evolutionary bi-product and actually leads to the deeper goal of genes propagation and genetic fitness. But anyway, I hope you see the point. You know this is not the only path. Humans have millions of different desires and instrumental goals. The same human may decide to pursue different objectives under even slightly different circumstances. You also know that while humans often operate within expected boundaries set by society, they can also be quite extreme and evil if they think they can get away with it. Freedom of will is in our nature. It comes with the Generality of our Intelligence. With narrow AI you can tell which problems it will work on, with AGI you can not …

The Circle (2000, Panahi)/ Iran "Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date." --- Jafar Panahi Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: The subject matter of 'The Circle' (2000) is controversial. You mentioned that the film is still banned in Iran. In fact, when I was watching the film, I realized that through the characters, there’s a lot of fear about the system, the establishment, the police. The women can’t smoke; they have to wear the chador; they seem to want to hide every time. This is all very clear from watching the film. Did you deliberately want to make a statement about the political situation in Iran? Panahi: I have to tell you again that I’m not a political person. I don’t like political movies. But I take every opportunity to comment on the social issues. I talk about the current issues. To me it’s not important what is the reason for what has happened. Whether it’s political reasons or geographical reasons: these are not important—but the condition, the social issues. It is important to me to talk about the plight of humanity at that time. I don’t want to give a political view, or start a political war. I think that the artist should rise above this. Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date. So it doesn’t really serve a political purpose. Then it can be everlasting, for always, and it could be for anywhere. But I know that politically, with the film authorities, with any kind of film that has some political background in it, they would take issue with it. And for this reason, that is what the problem is. Interviewer: Still, your film makes a very strong statement about the problems that women face in Iran. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. Interviewer: So that is humanitarian, of course, but it’s also political. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. It has the elements. It all depends on how you look at it. If a person has only political views, then he will only see the political. But if you are a poet or an artist, then you see other things as well in the movie. If you are a socialist, you see political or economic or whatever different points of view. You mustn’t look at a film with only one point of view. If you want to see 'The Circle' (2000) as political, then it is one of the most political movies in Iran. By political, I mean partisan politics. But even the police, I didn’t want to show them as bad. In the first instance, you are afraid of the police. Because you are looking at them from the point of view of someone who is now in prison. And normally you see him in a long shot, but when they come nearer and you see them in a medium shot, you can see their human faces. Then it comes down to, “Do you need any help?” But he goes back again and becomes frightening. If I were being political, then I would always show the police as dangerous or bad persons."
