We love Tesla cars, and all the innovation behind Tesla and the genius behind Elon Musk and his grand vision. but rather than just buying a Tesla, why not just use the money to create your own ideal vision of the future, to create your own Tesla?

I’d rather own my own self hosted blog than to be number one on YouTube

Question: would you rather be the worlds richest slave, but have every part of your day micromanaged by someone else, or to be poor but you have complete control over yourself? I’d choose the latter.

For example, let us say you are a successful rapper and owned several Lamborghinis. My suspicion is that most of these rappers are leasing their exotic sports cars, and they must continue doing shows and features they don’t like in order to just pay their bills.

Same thing goes with the high powered Wall Street broker. He probably has insane bills to pay to maintain his lifestyle, he must consider doing his hateful work in order to continue doing so.

Take the red pill

Same thing to mind the matrix analogy: better to take the red pill and live in a world full of misery and freedom, rather than be the worlds richest person inside the matrix.

Or another words, even though you’re the CEO making $1 million a year, as long as you’re still employed by a foreign entity, you don’t have freedom. for example, it may be better being a self-employed sole proprietor entrepreneur only making $40,000 a year, then being a corporate executive making $500,000 a year.

Similarly speaking, better to be an influential photographer who controls their own website and platform than to be the number one most followed person on Instagram. or better to have 1000 people subscribe to your email newsletter than to have 1 million followers.
