    When you were partying

    I read the fucking manual.

    When you were having premarital sex

    I mastered reading the fucking manual.

    While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity

    I cultivated READ THE FUCKING MANUAL.

    And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate you have the audacity to come to me for help?












  • There are only two jobs in the world: adding value and extracting value.

    Do you have skills in making, doing, or otherwise interacting with things that people don’t want to do themselves? Do you have access to any type of machinery or tools that most people don’t? These are opportunities to add value. Value added jobs include crafting, agriculture, manufacturing, trades, childcare, teaching…

    Do you have an insight into an inefficiency in the market? Are you able to exploit a gap between people who add value and the people who consume? Can you connect people to each other, connect people to products, or connect products to people? Value extraction jobs include things like distribution (drop-shipping), advertising (both making advertisement and other products that sell advertising space), management…
