The first step is learning you are in a system.
The second step is choosing whether you want to stay in the system.
Which one do you want to be? Have you thought about which one you are?
I think a lot of people will say “I’m the free lion”, “You can’t tell me what to do”.
I’ve made a list of what I consider anti-patterns. Do any of these ring true with you?
🧭The Antipattern Roadmap
You frequently watch the news
You are an employee
You have a tax deferred investment account
You’ve bought everything on credit - you have payments that you make every month
You’ve stopped buying beef, eggs, avocados because prices went up
You don’t exercise
You are too busy to see your children as much as you’d like
You spend a good portion of your day spent doing low return activities such as commuting to work, food preparation, cleaning
You make decisions based off how to save tax
You do what the government suggests for savings, financial planning
You listen to the government for nutritional advice
You don’t travel due to the costs
You don’t have investments for your children before they are 18
You are fearful
You have no community
By extension - You listen to the government for medical advice
Don’t feel bad if any of these are true - I’ve been there at various stages during life and I’m still in some of these, but I’m actively working on fixing them.
It is not that someone has shown these to me, however with life experience and through noticing patterns, I’ve started to distill these patterns.
Also, I’m not saying don’t ignore tax implications - just be aware that all of these are put in place deliberately to guide, influence, control your actions.
By watching the news you volunteer yourself to a 24/7 programming stream where you are told what to think
By being an employee, you are told what to do, how much you can earn and a strict set of rules governing your lifeforce
By having a tax deferred investment account you will work till 65 and gray then you get to enjoy life - finally. With a sore back and failing health you have 10 years to be free
By buying things on credit, you are voting to be part of the debt based economy where they issue you money from nothing and you have to give 30 years of your life force in exchange. The only time this makes sense is to buy appreciating assets and using inflation to debase your debt obligation. This statement only applies for items for personal enjoyment
By stopping buying beef because the prices went up, you’re on the road to their agenda for your food. Final stop: locust protein bound together with soy. Rising food prices stop you from eating the best, most nutritional foods on earth - Steak every day with eggs and avocados. You get a short shot on earth - you are the most important thing in the Universe - look after your body and your mind with correct nutrition
By exercising your happiness boosts and your energy levels boost - turn it into a habit. Pay yourself first by exercising before anything in life demands your time
Put your children first - be present with them, do not let work, bills detract from your interaction and play with them
By commuting to work, cooking, cleaning you are doing transient activities that lead to nothing except for burning your time. I’ve outsourced cleaning, nutritional meals are selected, prepared and cooked and dropped off at my doorstep. They go straight into the freezer. I have to commute 3 times per week but my goal is to get this to 0 times per week. When you are busy you have no time to exercise and you are mentally tired - unable to be independent and strong
By making decisions off how to save tax, you are locking into how Government wants you to live life. It is the tail wagging the dog. You will be added to the flock of sheep and only have sheep options. By only having sheep options, all of these threats are upon you - Bank Bail Ins, The Great Taking, Negative Interest Rates, Central Bank Digital Currencies, Forced War Bonds
By listening to the Government for Nutritional Advice, you are buying into a Collectivist mindset. Where you give up due diligence and due care to someone else who makes the decisions. However these decisions are made to safeguard the general population and the government
By not traveling due to rising costs, you stop becoming an investor. You don’t see opportunity in its raw form, only through a lens of a curated media. You lose empathy and understanding of other cultures. Your education stops
By listening to the government, they will have you believe that your children can only start investing at 18 or it has to be through a registered account. Compounding is what makes an investor. Compounding requires time. 20 years a quarter of a humans life. Start investing for your children when they are 0 years old
By being fearful you are susceptible to programming and PsyOps. The world is distilled propaganda and Psyops. Avoid media, become independently healthy, strong and self dependent
By having no community, you have no one for support. Long periods of hardship can become crippling if you are by yourself. I only expect the future to be more wild, more unpredictable than whatever we have seen so far. Find a community
By listening to the government for medical advice - as hard as it is, I would highly recommend that you take ownership of yours and your children’s health. Take time to read and understand things. Prioritize health over income. Take accountability and responsibility for knowledge.
Great article but one thing I disagree with is outsourcing responsibility for cooking and cleaning.
The main reason is diet is the ultimate expression of self mastery and only sexual desire influences your thoughts, beliefs, and actions more than what you eat as a matter of routine.
At the same time the condition of your domicile has a direct correlation to fulfilment of both your nutritional and sexual requirements.
Every sexually dimorphic organism on the planet survives on the basis of 2 things. It's ability to feed itself and it's offspring, and the ability to actually produce those offspring through territorial dominance.
Humans are no exception to that rule.
Consider the lion example.
A male lion with no territory must hunt for itself.
Once he has established his territory, he must spend all of his time "cleaning" it so there are no threats to his lionesses or his offspring. So much so that he lionesses hunt for him.
Food is also more than calories and nutrition, it's biological data. Looking at it, touching it, breathing on it, personalizing it alters it's character in such a way that two pieces of food with the exact same ingredients and surface level appearance, one prepared by yourself and the other by a stranger are not the all the same thing - especially when fed to your offspring.
Likewise, your personal domicile, shared with your pairbond mate and offspring, groomed and tidied by a stranger does not have the same energy than if it is groomed and tidied by yourself.
The space you inhabit and the food you eat are the fulfilment of the most important needs you have.
In the past, I discovered the hard way the consequences of not personally taking responsibility for those things.
That's not to say to fully reject periodic support when it comes to cooking and cleaning, but to have the maximum level of control over your own life and wellbeing, those two things you must take primary responsibility for.
