This isolation is making a lot of people realize:
1) They don't really have any hobbies
2) They don't really have any friends, just drinking partners
3) They don't really even like themselves
4) No one really likes them either

Despite my dark complexion, I'm descended from a long line of house negros.
Your people picked cotton.
My people dressed messa's kids in cotton.
We are not the same.

This chart has been living rent-free in my head.
A lot of mindsets and attitudes can be explained by this, and many social conflicts can be predicted as well.

How brainwashed must you be to believe that more money doesn't make you happier?
I'm not talking going from 6 to 7 figures
I'm talking:
-From the poverty line to the middle class
-From food stamps to fine dining
-From EBT to BTC
Be poor for a while. Then don't be. Then talk.

I grew up in the public housing projects and learned some hard lessons so you didn't have to.
Here are 11 things I learned from growing up in the hood, surrounded daily by crackheads, gangbangers, poverty, and death.

The #Epstein suicide just makes you angry.
These people have so much power they can make shit like this happen.
And yes, I'm going full conspiracy. Dude just hung himself in a solitary cell?? GTFOH.
If you believe that, I got some oceanfront property in Idaho to sell you.

You should not get bored. You should come out of this a little better.
Think of it like prison. All you get to do is workout and read books. PLUS you can drop the soap and be ok.

I've personally witnessed a crackhead:
-Get hit by a car and walk away
-Jump out a 3 story building and hit the ground running
-Eat out of a dumpster
-Drink stagnant green water
I've never seen a crackhead at the hospital.
Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about this.

If you've got a decent family situation, be grateful. You won.
You're so far ahead of the game that you can actually backtrack and still be ahead of where people like me start.

Being well-informed only ruins your day.
Staying up-to-date on current events is overrated.
Unless you make money from the mischief, your quality of life goes down as your news consumption goes up.

Most haters are vocal
Most supporters are silent
So keep doing what you do...
Someone is watching and cheering for you
Someone is learning from and supporting all you do...

-Eggs are bad for you
-Margarine is healthier than butter
-Low-fat is good for you
-Get most of your carb calories from grain
If you trusted the government's nutrition advice for the past 3 decades, you're probably a mess.

Four lessons from 36 years of life.
1) Never underestimate the power of being likeable
2) The difficulty of a task is irrelevant if it's vital to your success
3) You can learn anything given enough time
4) Self-discipline and self-control determine the quality of your life

I once watched a family member legit complain about not having enough money to pay bills after buying weed.
He got mad at me for pointing out that he'd be able to make rent if he didn't buy weed.
Correct a wise man & he appreciates you.
Correct a fool & he resents you.

The more intelligent you are, the more you consider what can go wrong. This awareness often leads to inaction.
This is why sharp intellect must be married to wicked resolve and indomitable courage to be most effective.

Here are the 10 most common logical fallacies that the government, media, and big corporations are using on you to keep you angry, confused, and terrified.
There’s a reason these aren’t taught in school
Once you recognize them, you’ll no longer be so easy to manipulate.

Stimulus checks all last year.
Inflation this year.

Reading is free.
Exercise is free.

The most powerful "lifehack" I know is this:
Take responsibility for everything. Even for things that seem to "randomly" happen to you.
This changes your thinking and forces you to consider the extent and effect of EVERYTHING you do.

There's a lot of money in keeping you basic, fat, and broke.
Netflix--the $152B company--says its greatest competitor is sleep.
The last thing the pharmaceutical, sports, entertainment, and fast food industry want you to do is get mentally, physically, and emotionally fit.

It's true.
Some robbers broke into my boy's crib.
They had AKs and Teks. But he pulled out an insurance policy and they got so scared they shit themselves.
They were so embarrassed they left, but not before apologizing.

2. Weakness brings trouble
If people think they can take advantage of you or hurt you, they will. Human nature is fucked up like that.
If you're gonna be kind, you need to be strong, because there are terrible people who will take your kindness for weakness.
They will test you

Twitter exposes how shitty people's reading comprehension is.
A lot of these disagreements are because people can't read. They will argue with you about something you didn't say or imply.
Or worse
Miss what you actually did say and choose something out of left field to debate.

1. Good manners never make a situation worse
If you mess up, all you gotta do is say "my bad" and people will keep it moving a lot of times.
But if you don't even acknowledge that you offended or accidentally bumped into someone, that's often gonna be your ass.

Here's one thing I don't get about the #JussieSmollettHoax:
Why not just make some shit up? Like, just leave the people to believe it really happened--and they would have because they're NPCs.

The weaker you are, the more dishonest you have to be to survive.
This is why you can't trust weak people.
Deception and disloyalty is basically their only means of survival.

It's possible to be liberal on some things, conservative on others, or not have an opinion at all.

Rules for loaning money:
1) Don't do it
2) If you do, mentally consider it a gift. If you see it again, consider that a gift as well
3) If you aren't in a position to lose it, don't loan it. Even if you follow rule 2, you'll feel resentment
4) No one is exempt from these rules

If combat sports were mandatory in school, we'd have a more peaceful society.
People don't appreciate violence and how easy it is to hurt a person.
They don't appreciate real physical pain caused by punches with bad intentions.
To them, these worldstar videos are a game.

My son randomly grabs my wife and I for group hugs.
This is the closest I will ever get to understanding why divorce is so painful for kids.
Growing up, I never saw two adults love each other, so I never got why folks were affected when their parents split.
But now I see.

7. Dealing with trauma is a privilege
Life has always been hard.
But when you're busy surviving, you don't have time to worry about that. Even if it's holding you back.
A lot of what I witnessed was likely people just trying to survive the best way they knew how to.

Young Men,
Be ambitious, but I'm telling you:
Some of your happiest moments will be living with 4 other dudes in a place barely fit for crackheads and eating Ramen & canned tuna.
You'll never want to go back, but it's where you hopefully learn that money does not buy happiness
