My Story and Philosophy

🎙 I podcast on topics related to being a more effective human in the modern world.

📬 This newsletter goes out twice a week.

What am I?

I think I'm an "agorist," which is a free-market anarcho-capitalist who believes in opting out of the current system and engaging in "profitable civil disobedience."

I'm Nietzschean, and I am in pursuit of my own Overman.

Democracy is nothing but a parasite masquerading as a righteous endeavor.

Government is coercion through the monopoly on violence, and politics is a charade to prop it up by giving the masses the illusion of control.

I'm anti-politics.

I believe in freedom, human sovereignty, and natural law.

Government

Property rights are the foundation of just government.

If there should be government at all, it should exist only to protect personal property rights. Anything beyond that scope violates natural law and is thus unjust.

Society should protect the individual above all else. No exceptions.

If it does, it will get the better world that so many collectivists claim to want because it will result in a society of willing actors pursuing their happiness through free markets, which are the byproduct of willing actors each pursuing their happiness as they see fit. And this is how you get prosperity, as shown by every prosperous nation in history.

Democracy, socialism, and other collectivist ideas are a violation of natural law because they are based on taking from one—using violence—and giving to another.

"Democracy is indispensable to socialism." -Vladimir Lenin

America

America is the greatest country and ideal ever to exist.

Though it’s become corrupted,.

It’s not perfect, but it’s the best humanity has come up with…. thus far.

It has grown over time into a Frankenstein that perfectly manifests the inherent problems with democracy (and all state intervention): corruption, lobbying, crony capitalism, identity politics, money printing, inflation, fiat, colonialism, public officials having no skin in the game, etc.

2020 woke me up to politics and how precarious the "freedom" I've enjoyed my whole life is.

The Constitution and Bill of Rights are the best documents ever created to protect these ideals. The fact that most of the founding fathers were libertarian or had libertarian ideals should tell you all you need to know.

The state should be as small as possible. It should tax the least so that creative individuals will be attracted to come and produce wealth for themselves and humanity.

We’ve created massive prosperity despite the state, not because of it.

Principles For Life

  • Health is the foundation of everything—to enjoy life, hard work, and results, and to do it all for a long time, you must prioritize health.

  • Relationships are mostly all that matter for a happy life. And the quality of your relationships is based on depth, not breadth.

  • Agency and personal responsibility are the only things. Nothing exists outside your control.

  • Fear is a contagious disease.

  • The status quo is usually wrong and often based on simple explanations that lack scientific rigor.

  • They are also always manipulated when politics gets involved.

  • Thinking for yourself is the only way to think. Everything else is at risk.

  • Property rights are a natural law. Anything that violates them violates nature and humanity and should be destroyed. There are no exceptions here, which is why 99% of the political bickering can be thrown out the window as nothing but mental masturbation, entertainment, and tribalism.

  • The only person you can ever fully trust is yourself, meaning you take full ownership of everything in your life.

  • If someone surprises you, it's your fault. Learn and grow.

  • A growth mindset is the only mindset. Everything else is devolving.

  • The only way to think is from first principles—what you can reasonably reduce to a known truth. From there, knowledge should be built up. Most people accept whatever society or the people around them say and never go deep enough to understand.

  • The individual is what matters. Protect it at all costs.

  • The Greater Good is evil.

  • Studying history is the first step. Accepting it comes next and is often the hardest thing to do.

Better Human Philosophy

Why: To give you a framework for practical living so that you escape the Matrix and build a life and community based on Truth and First Principles.

  • ⚖️ Sovereignty of mind and body

  • 💨 Opt out of a broken society

  • 🦾 100% Ownership of Life

💡 Better Human is a philosophical framework for living an effective and meaningful life as a 21st-century human. It’s a work in progress. It’s open-source. It will evolve. I’m building it publicly here and here.

  • A modern philosophical framework rooted in absolute ownership of mind & body combined with the foundational principles of health, happiness, and meaning.

  • The goal is to help create free-thinking, sovereign humans who will reject the broken status quo and rebuild life from the ground up.

  • These individuals then become beacons to show others a different way to live. Eventually, we flip the sick, urban-based way of life from the norm to the exception.

  • Escape The Matrix → To help you become sovereign in body and mind.

  • The next epoch of human society will use technology to curate an ancestral-based way of life by fusing nature and technology into a symbiotic whole.

  • It starts with the individual. Becoming YOU is the greatest thing you will ever accomplish.

  • What is a Better Human? The Better Human is fit, healthy, highly self-aware, inspires and motivates others, consistently delivers value to the world around him/her, is interested in big ideas, growth, the future, and overcomes oneself to take advantage of the gift called life.

Building Better Humans

  • A Practical Way of Life For 21st Century Humans A Practical Way of Life For Modern Humans A Modern OS For The Mind A New OS For Humanity A New OS For The Mind A New Way To Think and Live An OS For The Mind A New Philosophy The Practical Philosophy For Modern Life: A New Way of Life A New Freedom A New Vision For Life An OS For Life The New OS For Life

  • Building Better Humans from the ground up. Rebirth. Unlearn. Escape the matrix. Create a life based on your self-curated values and escape the drudgery of modernity.

  • Practical Philosophy, Evolutionary Psychology, Health, First Principles Thinking and taking absolute ownership.

  • Building Better Humans is achieved through a complete change of mind and thought patterns and by creating a new life based on a self-created personal philosophy.

  • Building The Better Human Philosophy → Goal: Create a new framework for human meaning in the 21st century.

  • The Better Human Philosophy is a practical method of thinking and living based on the first principles of thinking, truth, self-ownership, reliance, and opting out of the broken status quo.

  • Build a unique life through your own self-discovered personal philosophy - that’s what the world needs. It does not need another automaton.

The Problem

  • Society is broken. Society monetizes the group at the expense of the individual.

  • Collectivist ideas always end in ruin. Fiat currencies always reach 0. Empires always die.

  • Since humans are tribal creatures, they fall into groupthink and mass psychosis.

  • A few escape, forge their own path, wake up, and uncover the Truth and foundational principles of biology, psychology, history, and economics. They go on to live extraordinary lives.

  • Modern humans struggle to find meaning. We no longer have to survive in a harsh environment. Instead, we have to survive modernity, which is the struggle to find meaning while avoiding living a life of quiet desperation.

  • You want to change. You want a successful life of health, wealth, happiness, and relationships, but you look at society for cues on how to get it. The problem is that society doesn’t know how to get it.

  • You follow the mainstream—what people around you are doing—the illusion of social media and curated facade of bullshit dupe you. You are plugged into the Matrix.

  • Less than 3% of people create lives of meaning. Their journey is unique, which makes it hard to give specific advice on where to start. The fastest and easiest way to get started is to change your environment to support where you want to go.

  • Filling your mind with new ideas, people, and scenery is the foundational aspect of change.

The Method

  • Reborn: Completely detach from your former self. Let go of your Ego, identity, past, bad habits, toxic relationships with people, drugs, food, propaganda, fear, politics, etc.

  • Shed your past self and build something new. Let go of your traumas, shame, guilt, externally enforced baggage of expectation, comparison, and victim mentality. Get fit and healthy without massive effort… to build the knowledge, skill, and belief system that makes you look good and feel good year-round.

  • Create new thought patterns based on TRUTH and first principles of thinking.

  • Guard your life so only approved ideas and people come in.

  • Take action towards definite goals to build a life of meaning for yourself rather than from outside.

  • Find meaning in helping others follow the same path.

  • Live differently → intentionally living in nature with other humans. Close communities outside of the urban rigamarole. (My goal is the BH community project to show the world exactly how it can be done sustainably.)

Productivity

  • Getting things done matters. It matters for meaning, flourishing, and our collective future.

  • We are entering a new phase of human evolution, fueled by the information revolution. Today's highest-paid work is simply moving information around and combining it uniquely. This is speeding up innovation in the physical realm as well.

  • The key to creating your future is managing yourself to thrive in the modern economy. The future is already here. Today's winners are information movers. You create value by moving, organizing, and combining information uniquely.

  • You find meaning through this work (and through physical work), but it’s not always obvious or immediate. In some cases, knowledge work can often as menial as pushing a button in a factory 8 hours a day.

The Outcome: Self-mastery

  • What is a Better Human? The Better Human is fit, healthy, highly self-aware, inspires and motivates others, consistently delivers value to the world around him/her, is interested in big ideas, growth, the future, and OVERCOMING oneself to take advantage of the gift called life.

  • You possess a fit body and mind that represents the pinnacle of physical human potential. You are healthy, strong, self-aware, open, and FREE.

  • You live for yourself. You’ve accepted your power to choose everything in your life, and you do.

  • You pursue meaning through your work, relationships, and helping others.

  • You build your tribe and make it a focal point of your life. You rest your relationship to external pursuits.

  • You are the Better Human and become a beacon of inspiration, showing others what’s possible.

  • To become Awake, Aware, Your Own Self, Fit, Healthy, Happy

Become a Better Human

  • Getting there requires deep knowledge, training, habits, and a complete rewiring of your belief system to shed your past self and be born again.

  • For modern adults, these changes require massive pattern interrupts. You must break your thought patterns, routines, people, relationships, and everything holding you back. Only then can you rebuild from the ground up, like the Child.

Why Better Human?

  • What’s broken about the world: drifters and following rote ways of life-based on EXTERNALS. Where are the great men and women that think and live for themselves? They are always the trailblazers for the future.

  • Change the way people think from external to internal → then change how they live the same.

How do I help people wake up?

  • Through awareness of Universal laws with a dose of evolutionary biology/psychology, an understanding of basic economics, political science, the corruption of the state, power

  • Courses, Podcasts, Knowledge, Education, Citing philosophers, and → In person work

  • LIVE TRAINING is the most important thing. One day is the least effective, two days are a bit more, one week is good, one month is great, and one year is the best.

  • Eventually, → 3-12 month program, where you come to live in the dorms and completely rewire your body and mind in a fully immersed state.
