Time Text
All right.
She writes about her relatively wealthy husband.
I can be critical because he's not super, quote, fun in an energetic way, but that's because he's emotionally very level.
So no extreme highs or lows.
I am more of an extreme high and low person, actually, so when somebody's super level, I feel like my energy can be too much.
Well, I mean, but he's a team lead because he's not super emotional, right?
Super emotional team leads.
Let's go on the roller coaster, right?
John says, very interesting points.
I felt like I lost 20 years due to my childhood.
Long story short, I treated life as a sprint, as a way to make up for the time that's gone with the wind.
Someone says, that's amazing to this woman.
Hearing you talk about your husband makes me want to work even more.
I've been working quite hard on my career with a good degree of success.
also planned for years now to give a girlfriend of mine real-time relationships.
Right.
I had a conversation It's a call-in show.
It's a public call-in show.
It'll be out, I'm sure, soon.
But it was a guy who was still enmeshed in a corrupt and immoral family system.
And we went through the exercise of, well, what does a quality, virtuous woman...
He was in his late 20s.
I said, well, what does a quality, virtuous woman see when she is in your environment?
She sees this crazy, corrupt family.
She sees you bowing down before it, and she sees that.
She won't have any real authority because you're going to count out the irrational and corrupt in your life and at the expense of the virtuous and moral.
And he's like, so I've got to prepare myself for this woman who's coming down the pipe.
I'm like, bro, bro, she might already have come and gone.
She might already have come and gone.
If that doesn't give you goosebumps, I don't know what will.
Do it now.
Because you don't know when she's coming.
She could be here tomorrow and you should have cleaned up your social environment six months ago.
She might have come and gone.
She might have seen you across the room, saw the flash of submission in your eyes as you laughed at an unfunny joke from a dominant person and said, No.
All right.
Question.
I was laid off yesterday.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I have a decent amount of savings and I'm not in a bind financially.
I'm a software developer.
A former co-worker referred me a job listing that I fit well.
It would be a 20% raise, but it is for a cannabis e-commerce site slash company.
I have major reservations about working for a company like that.
Would I not be profiting from people doing what I consider to be dumb lifestyle choice and those self-medicating, even if it is partially marketed as medical?
Thank you, Lloyd.
I appreciate that.
You know, we all, there's no particularly obvious solution to the problem of Overlapping corruption, right?
I mean, I've mentioned this before, and this is when I was still a minarchist, so it wasn't so bad, but I did business with concerns in the distant past.
I would say, obviously, you know this, if you have a choice, don't do it, because you are contributing, unless it's purely medical, right?
but you are contributing to people's dissociation and time wasting.
So keep looking as if you don't have a job, and if you're starving, take the job.
That would be my particular solution.
Somebody says, I've very much been sprinting, trying to make up time, but my health issues are a huge roadblock that I just can't tough guy my way out of, like I used to do when they affected me in my 20s.
I'm sorry about that.
that?
What are your health issues?
The readiness is all.
It's a great line.
It very much affected me from Hamlet.
I love this.
I love this quote.
I've read it before.
I will read it again.
We defy augury.
There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow.
If it be now, tis not to come.
If it be not to come, it will be now.
If it be not now, yet it will come, the readiness is all.
Since no man of ought, he leaves known.
What is to be, to leave betimes, let be.
Sorry, the last bit, who cares, right?
We defy augury.
Augury is a form of prophecy.
We don't, we can't see the future, right?
There's a special providence in the fall of Aspera.
If it be now, it is not to come.
It's happening now.
If it be not to come, it will be now.
If it be not now, yet it will come.
The readiness is all, right?
Stuff's going to happen now or it's going to happen soon.
And the readiness in life is everything.
I studied computers for years so that when an opportunity came to be the principal architect, Of a big software project, I was ready.
I studied philosophy for decades before podcasting came along.
and sure as Sherlock I wouldn't be able to do any of this shit in a university or in a publishing house because I ain't no fucking communist.
I did self-knowledge for years and therapy for years before I met my wife.
then I was ready.
The time to plant a tree is not when you desperately need the shade because it's going to take 10 or 15 years to grow.
You can't dig for water when you're already desperately thirsty.
Prepare for things in life.
Do not wait to react.
You will lose every time.
I went to theater school.
So I could act like a philosopher.
No, I mean, I wrote for decades, and then I just happened to get my first book published when I met my wife, and that's one of the things we talked about to begin with.
