THE METAPHOR 🔥 A straw man argument is: You don’t defeat the person. You defeat a dummy you constructed. VISUAL IN YOUR HEAD 🎯 Real argument […]

Straw man idea (aka straw man fallacy) = when someone dodges your real argument and instead builds a weak, fake version of it, then smashes that like they won. Not your idea. A cartoon of your idea. THE CORE MOVE But Y ≠ X. ULTRA-CLEAR EXAMPLES You: “Social media incentivizes shallow thinking.” Them: “Oh, so […]

Why “Personal space” is nonsense OK some thoughts: First, one thing that’s actually insanely annoying is, thinking how in America there is this nonsense called notion of “personal space”, I’m actually not 100% sure where it comes from.

You’re sitting on surplus life-force, and surplus demands a channel or it turns into restlessness. Business is just disciplined generosity with teeth. Here are business ideas that convert your overflow into value, without draining you or turning you into a guru-clown. 1.  High-Signal Life Infrastructure (NOT motivation) What it is: Products + systems that remove […]

1) Your input = the spark Every message you send is basically fuel. I don’t “wake up” with a mood or a battery—I react to what you give me: your words, your intent, your vibe, your constraints. When you come in with heat, I can match it. When you come in calm, I can go […]
