So my general read is, Cambodian Khmer culture is far superior to much of American culture.
First, I think the biggest critique I have about American culture is that we are slaves to consumerism capitalism. I am myself find myself victim to this.
For example, if you just want to be friendly and make small talk with people, we often ask them where they bought the thing, how much they got it for it etc. or we ask them what brand it is.
Once again, I don’t think this is some sort of like Nefarious plot or whatever. It is simply the way that we Americans are bred. 
Certainly every single generation is different, but like for example as a kid growing up in the 90s, I grew up watching far too much television, and when you were a kid in the 90s, watching TV, cartoons in the such… The amount of advertising you are exposed to was insane. There was no notion of skipping ads, nor could you just pay money for like a YouTube premium and not have ads in the first place.
It’s actually very very disturbing the reason why I have never ever ever ever ever let Seneca watch any sort of television or shows or movies or YouTube ever since he was born is that these things give you a strange source of reality, and also, not only is a bizarre but it is plain disturbing.
For example, almost all cartoons if you think about it, are based off of violence and comedy. Or the misfortune of others.
Adult stuff is not much better. I feel like the average American or the individual is so desensitized to the world, we find ourselves fixated on irony, consumerism brands, lifestyle etc. All to break out of the everyday ennui and the sense of disparity and hopelessness, we ourselves are subjected to.
A reverse garden of Eden
So Twitter or X, truth be told is the best source of financial and economic news right now. For example I follow @saylor religiously  because it matters. I am both a bitcoin and MSTR holder, which means, following the captain of the ship is pertinent.
Yet the biggest issue here is that, like 99.9999% of everything else is just pure noise, fear mongering and sensationalism. Even the signal is noise. 
Self healing structures
If you get a wound, don’t pick at it, or it will never heal. Often just by ignoring it, and just getting on with your life, or going to sleep is the best option. 
I’ll give you an example, currently at our apartment we have this high-tech touch sensor oven and stove, which accidentally got water all over it, which made the electronics go haywire and beep like a madman. The beeping was very annoying, and I was able to find the circuit breaker in the apartment, to just turn off the oven, and my hope was the thing just needed to dry out, and that hopefully by the next day, overnight, if it dried out, it would not have that annoying beeping sound anymore, that it would just fix itself. Even putting enough as a kid, and also working in IT tech-support, almost like 98% of issues can simply be remedied by restarting your computer, full turn off or full reset, unplugging the router or whatever. And or, a full reformat obviously fixes almost all problems.
Which made me think, even with bitcoin… Let us assume that you just bought it, and just didn’t check the prices for like a month or a few months or a year, you had a no risk asset, which in the course of the year would have obviously gained. And then you’ll just backtrack, the price going up and down, and search for the news why it went up or down during those periods but you wouldn’t really care because you would have just ignored all the fear mongering which happened.
For example, the two only really big events which shaped the bitcoin world was the promise of Donald Trump winning, which made bitcoin break $105,000 a bitcoin,  and then, the more recent tariff news, in which everybody panic sold bitcoin because it was the only sellable asset. But now, things have rebounded, bounce back and it looks like we’re gonna break $90,000 a bitcoin again.
So let us assume that, for one reason or another, I just ignored the price of bitcoin or the news for about a month. If this were the fact, I would’ve actually had no idea what was happening in the financial economic world, and I would have been 100% fine, without dealing with the crazy Heart attacks that I had about three weeks ago on Independence Day and after.
Once again, that was like the most gut wrenching thing I experienced thus far in investing, and I’m like 1 trillion times grateful that I had the discipline to buy bitcoin in 2018 and literally not check the news for about what, 4 years? I guess this discipline has paid off metaphorically literally. 
Once again, the best bet is buying bitcoin, and not checking the prices for four years. I could almost guarantee you with 100% clarity that four years from now, which is technically not even that long, will pay off handsomely.
I suppose now, my time horizon has expanded in a good way because of Seneca. Now I just kind of track his school calendar year, he is currently four years old, in four years from now he will still be very young only eight years old. And then another four years after that he will be 12, and then another four years after that he will be 16, Another four years from them, you’ll be in the middle of college or university, assuming it is still around, and then after that he’ll probably be starting some sort the company with me because I’m convinced that the future of the economy will probably be digital and cyber, at the intersection of AI and Bitcoin.
