The Cycle
Beauty and truth are a particularly potent combination because, like beauty, the most profound and empowering truths are evident a prima facie - they change minds and hearts at first glance…
Great beauty is captivating, unmistakable, undebatable, clarifying, and inspiring - it’s a silver lining to life that makes hardships endurable like truth. But beauty is often the result of hard work; the generations of labor that produced the awe-inspiring architecture there in Valencia, or the countless grueling gym sessions it takes to build and maintain a heroic physique. Similarly, uncovering the truth, embracing it, and living by it can be one of the hardest things you’ll do in this life.

This is a paraphrasing of my favorite line from The Star Rover by Jack London. Throughout the book’s 270 pages, he praises the redeeming features of the fairer sex and points out that the love of women has no equal as a motivator of greatness, endeavor, and invention.

I took some fictional license here, writing how a prehistoric cavewoman might perceive the slow “sextinction” of the Neanderthals that interbred with human women. Here’s a fun video on the topic, Insane Sex Lives of Neanderthals

This is a paraphrasing of my favorite line from Almost - a novel by philosopher Stefan Molyneux. It’s a family drama, a tale of two families, English and German, caught up in the terribly repetitive momentum of history - you might think of it as Atlas Shrugged meets East of Eden set in inter-war Europe. In the last few years, I’ve read a few of the classics by Steinbeck and Jack London. Almost is of the same caliber in its capturing of human nature.

The Fall
The proof here is an adaptation of the obsessive work of Jean-François Gariépy. A geneticist, author, and philosopher who, like Xavier, has spent years contemplating the Goldbach Conjecture. Interestingly, he wrote a Letter to AI on The Goldbach Conjecture, here

Wherein he passes the torch to the artificially intelligent species we are currently birthing, with these eloquent words: You have seen how the greatest human minds have achieved marvels; from Euclid to Euler. You can do the same by letting yourself be guided by simplicity, beauty and the pursuit of truth. Ironic, as I once debated the topic of transhumanism with him, here

Indeed, Modafinil will lend you a psychopath’s mind for 8-12 very productive hours. Before using it, you should maybe read my article A Quantum of Psychopathy, https://www.limitlessmindset.com/blog/nootropics/1716-quantum-psychopathy
POV
The idealism of the Prince here may not be pure fiction.
In Graham Hancock’s book, America Before, he suggests that the Atlanteans (or whatever they called themselves) had a universalist theory of ethics and morality. This means everybody has to play by the same rules; it stands in stark contrast with tribal morality, where there are different rules for different types of people. If there’s one thing that we know from more recent history, it’s that civilization is downstream (and sometimes it can be a long stream) from universalist morality.
And the Prince’s sentiments on chattel slavery might mirror more modern history. You might hold the misconception that the abolition of slavery was a bottom-up movement, when in fact it was more top-down. The result of courageous aristocrats in Britain and the United States who sought to align their nations more with their Christian morality.
There’s an excellent movie about this worth watching, Amazing Grace (2006), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd5kkEoImKM
This is the second totally unrealistic part of this book: As you should know, Dear Reader, baths and hot tubs are not great places to have sex - the natural osmosis of the water robs those lovely pussy juices, making it uncomfortable. But I write it so to emphasize the fantastical escapism that the game offers.

The Smart Drugs you take will affect your personality, and Selegiline is one you should steer clear of. I’ve never tried it, as there’s anecdotal evidence that it may turn you into a rapacious capitalist.

Once upon a time, I spent a few months in a little surf town in Costa Rica. There, I’d share beers with more than a few gringos who really liked that the country had no street signs - makes it harder to find people that don’t want to be found.

The Conspirator
A million-dollar Bitcoin price will NOT remain fiction.
The opportunity to buy Bitcoin, hold it, and get rich will have reached its zenith when it becomes the world’s reserve currency. Over the coming years and decades, as smart money flees the US Dollar and Western civilization learns a painful and prolonged lesson about socialism, those who buy Bitcoin at $50K or $100K will look pretty smart. So, what the hell are you waiting for? You know what they say about the best time to plant a tree…

Marrying the right woman is the most important decision of your life, hands down, gents. And that’s not just my opinion because I married a great woman who supports my mission in life.
In The Millionaire Next Door, Thomas Stanley and William Danko argue that a millionaire’s choice of spouse is a crucial determinant of wealth accumulation. Many self-made millionaires marry partners who are frugal, financially disciplined, and supportive of long-term financial goals. These spouses help maintain a modest lifestyle, avoid excessive spending, and reinforce habits of saving and investing. Conversely, a high-spending or status-driven spouse can undermine wealth-building efforts, making financial independence much harder to achieve.

The right thing to do here would have been to let Astrid blow him. If you don’t know, Dear Reader, a lot of times a committed blowjob will revive a floppy cock.
If you’re curious about Swallows (you are, aren’t you?), there’s a riveting podcast, To Die For, with Neil Strauss (yeah, that Neil Strauss) conducting a series of interviews with a former Soviet Swallow. This self-promotional woman’s story is a bit sensational, but it’s good listening…

If you’re not already sold on Piracetam, good news: It can potentially block the effects of Scopolamine according to a study, Reversal of Scopolamine-induced amnesia and alterations in energy metabolism by the nootropic piracetam: implications regarding identification of brain structures involved in consolidation of memory traces
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3690290/
When I first read that study, I knew I had to write a story about Scopolamine and Piracetam, and I hope you’re enjoying it!
Also, I took Piracetam before almost every date I went on with Colombian girls in Medellin, and nothing bad happened (although one tried to convince me to buy her a DVD player at a Reggaeton club between vertical lap dances. I bought her a drink.)
The Quantom Dynamics crowd are transhumanists, of course, but it might surprise you that I am too - a reluctant transhumanist. It’s a subject I’ve studied for over a decade, debated with other philosophers, and changed my mind about repeatedly.

As suggested in Hourglass #1: Chapter 18 - Nicotine - one of the great lies of the Devil is that: evil rules Earth because evil people take power.

The general consensus in sports medicine is that static stretching (holding a stretch for an extended period) immediately before a workout is not only ineffective at preventing injury but may actually impair performance.
Stretching after a workout is generally considered beneficial for improving flexibility and range of motion.
