Yes, Brett Weinstein is a treasure. A guy of amazing integrity!
I used to hang out on the Mr Money Mustache forum, a while back. Interesting place, but it got really woke. I was kicked off the forum for gently suggesting that people do some research before vaccinating their kids with the Covid jab.
Anyway, there was a lot of discussion on this very topic there - what to do after you don't need to work anymore. Many people became financially independent without bitcoin, just by investing in index funds. And financial independence did not bring happiness, necessarily.
People really do need a purpose. Not that a job necessarily brings you purpose, but not needing a job doesn't necessarily make everything sunshine and roses.
I wonder how much under-reporting comes into play here?
For instance, southern Italy is supposed to be much more crime ridden than northern Italy, but not according to this map.
Palestinians are evil baby-beheaders and must all be killed. This is the typical atrocity story that is used to justify genocide, and is currently being used to justify the genocide in Gaza.
Decent people will look a little deeper before cheering for the wholesale murder of a entire people.
I don't blame you for believing it because that's all that mainstream media will publish. And that's what I believed until I was exposed to the other side of the story more recently. I started looking into the details of the Charlie Kirk assassination (not done by a lone gunman as the FBI would have you believe) and that changed my mind.
Do a little research. Look into things. Here's an interview by Candace Owens with Norman Finkelstein. It's long, but illuminating. I'll try to assemble some resources that are shorter.

I do eat some occasional blueberries. My diet is animal based, in that don't just eat meat, I eat everything on that pyramid. Eggs, dairy, etc.
So you tried carnivore for a while, and it didn't work for you?
Ammous' was previously in favor of Milei. A little skeptical, a little like "show me", but overall positive.
He had a podcast on Milei in January 2024, generally hopeful: https://saifedean.com/podcast/204-mileis-argentina-with-philip-bagus
Ammous later became more skeptical, and is now a full fledged Milei hater.
Here's one of his later articles on Milei, and the scams that are being perpetuated by him in Argentina right now: https://ronpaulinstitute.org/javier-milei-unraveled-no-crying-in-the-casino/
Here's a quote from that article:
When the ponzi collapses, as it always does, Argentines will have lost their cash savings, and most suckers who invest in bonds will have been ruined, but the fiat cartel banks will walk away well-fed, as they always do.
Milei will discredit Austrian and libertarian ideas for decades to come by associating them with their diametrical opposites: inflation, indebtedness, bond market pump-and-dumps, and genocide. It is only his constant invocation of the Austrians that makes me take time from my busy schedule to discuss this con artist and his unfortunate country.
Socialists of the world, you can now laugh at us libertarians for stealing from you the same line for which we have mocked you for decades: but it wasn’t real libertarianism!
Milei has had a LOT of support, initially, around the world from libertarian oriented folks. And a lot of that has evaporated as he's exposed himself as a fraud.
And oh yeah I forgot - he promoted not one, but TWO shitcoins.

This is about the $Libra coin. Viral takedown calling Milei's promotion a deliberate scam: He hyped $LIBRA for "economic growth," cashed out millions, then dumped it. Ammous shares screenshots of Milei's deleted tweet and wallet dumps, shocking even "shitcoiners." Ties to Milei's pattern of enriching cronies.
https://x.com/saifedean/status/1890863314269351970
This is about his 2021 support for CoinX.
In this old interview, when asked whether he had been paid for the promotion in 2021, Milei himself recognized, “I charge for my opinions, of course I charge for my opinions.”
No.
Not even close.
Instead of posting my thoughts on this here, I've writen another post: Is Javier Milei, the "libertarian" president of Argentina, a complete fraud?
Okay, that's not what I would have expected from him.
And I agree - lots (more) side effects are going to come out.
My in-laws got married in 1964, and their politics are polar opposites.
She - liberal - very nice, calm, friendly lady, BUT, actually kicked chairs over in the kitchen, in a rage, when Trump was elected.
He - conservative - constantly watching Fox news, then switched to OAN or something similar (more conservative). Trump lover
And they get along really well.
I don't know if that kind of story happens anymore. Like the example you gave, unfortunately some women really won't date someone that's not on their wavelength, politically.
I also saw a forum post once (MrMoneyMustache) where the lady poster would only date someone who believes in global warming. Sheesh.
Yes, that's what I did, but they weren't even free. I used lightning to pay for them. It was a while back and can't remember the details of which service I used, but I tried pretty hard, and was never successful - telegram always rejected the numbers.

A while back I tried starting an account with a non KYC phone number. Couldn't get it to work after trying for quite some time, Telegram always rejected it.
