This is the first one that came to mind as I just learned this: Marx was not the first to do a class analysis. His analysis wasn't even accurate and well-defined. It was bogus. French radical liberals Charles Comte and Charles Dunoyer did it before him and more accurately. They divided society into the productive class (industrialists) and unproductive class (parasites). https://www.libertarianism.org/articles/libertarian-class-analysis The former acquires wealth by producing and cooperating (entrepreneurs, workers, labourers, investors). The later does so by stealing and coercing (State, bureaucrats, thieves, cronies). This analysis is essentially libertarian in spirit. Many liberals use Marxist class analysis rather than that of Comte and Dunoyer and come to the wrong political conclusions that go against their core philosophy.
When going hiking, bring a bag in your car with a clean pair of shoes. Once you return to your car you can change into a clean pair of shoes and your can store your hiking shoes in the same bag. Keeps your car clean, you can go other places without tracking mud, it has been a simple yet beautiful life hack for me 🙂🥾

Spend more time in the sun! Serotonin and Vitamin D is way underrepresented in our times and don't get hooked on cheap dopamine in form from social media, sugar, pron or other stuff. Work for it! Go out touch some grass, take in the sun and take care of your family! Take responsibility for your time with the sun and your serotonin and dopamine levels.
How to make a half-decent coffee from instant coffee, maybe your camping or in some off-grid AirBnB with no fancy coffee machines. Before adding the boiling water put the coffee grounds in your cup first and mix with a splash of milk. This will stop any burning of the coffee grounds. Also add a pinch of salt to bring a little more flavour out. Then boiling water, milk, generously stir. It’s no Melbourne Magic but it’ll get the job done.
An easy rule of thumb for scuba diving is that you shouldn’t ascend faster than the bubbles from your regulator do. This prevents bubbles forming in your blood from trapped nitrogen, and thus decompression sickness.

What you focus on shapes your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Be intentional about what you consume (news, social media, conversations) and who you spend time with. Guard your attention like you would your money—invest it wisely, and it will pay off in clarity, productivity, and peace of mind.

More expensive cuts of beef (generally from the loin sector) can be cooked well without losing tenderness, but cheaper cuts are best left medium rare if you don't want to chew on a shoe sole. In addition, a slightly coarser salt facilitates the seasoning because it is more difficult for it to be excessively salty.

There is no rational basis for the belief that the future will in any way resemble the past. It's something we all accept on faith. That at first glance seems perhaps the opposite of useful; indeed, David Hume spent years letting it depress him and he resorted to just spending his days playing backgammon in the park. But when you let it remind you that all of your future predictions are no more or less likely than each other, it lets you stop clinging to your predictions, and reminds you that preparing for one likely future is foolish; living your life as resiliently as possible so that you'll be steadfast no matter what comes at you is wise. Some might take it as a reason to live for the present, but you didn't think a Bitcoiner was going to tell you to have a high time preference now did you? Besides, when it's just as likely you'll be alive as that you won't be, I'm not sure why that would justify being without means. Hopefully this is something we can learn as a species; the boomers certainly seemed to take the opposite approach. Appreciate the present, and your ability to get stronger and more resilient now. But never take it as an excuse to prey on the future's resources. As for things a bit more mundane -- organ meats are fucking awesome for your health, and they're not nearly as gross as most Americans seem to think they are. In other words, offal isn't awful.
"We activists want very much for our efforts to save the world to be successful. But if we do not find the balance between our work and the nourishment we need, we will never be very successful. The practice of walking meditation, mindful breathing, bringing our body and mind to rest, and coming into contact with the refreshing and healing elements within us and around us are essential for our survival." - Thich Nhat Hanh

In the 17th century, during the Golden Age, Amsterdam wasn’t just a hub for trade and tulips — it was a magnet for sailors, sex workers, and scandal. The Zeedijk area, right by today’s Red Light District, was known as “the sailors’ hell.” Taverns offered booze, opium, and anything else a weary sea dog might crave. Some bars even had trapdoors — if a customer got too drunk or rowdy, they’d literally drop him into the canal. And here’s a weird twist: the Church taxed brothels. So technically, the clergy profited off sin — Amsterdam has always known how to balance vice with pragmatism.

It's legal to carry guns on private property, even if it's a "gun-free zone." The worst case scenario that will happen to you if you're caught is you'll be asked to leave or trespassed. You should seize the opportunity and conceal a gun anywhere that doesn't have metal detectors and pat-downs in place.
The sarcophagus in the Queens chamber of the pyramid at Giza is the original baptismal font, except the Egyptians actually knew how to do it right. Given that it is their word, that would make sense. They were doing sensory deprivation to induce theta neural oscillations which "opens the ba". Ba is to the Egyptians what Christians today would be most familiar with as "the Holy Spirit". Ba can be found in the word baptism. Also, bath, basin, and basalt. The ancient Egyptians were manufacturing chemicals in many of the buildings that still stand today. They used some of those chemicals to make magnesium sulfate. We call magnesium sulfate Epsom salts because it was discovered like 400 years ago in Epsom in the UK. Bullshit. The Egyptians were making it thousands of years before Epsom was the name of a chunk of Earth's crust.. It was "ba salt" used in the BAptismal BAth poured into the sarcophagi BAsin. If you want to know the significance of theta neural oscillations, a good place to look would be the now declassified military intelligence correspondence on the subject of paranormal espionage research that cited the biomedical models of the guy who was obviously the target of the American Airlines Flight 191 "accident". It was probably nothing. Guy was on Mossad's and the US's radar and he dies 2 years after writing his book and 4 years before his work is cited in, at the time, classified military research on paranormal espionage. This is useful in the same way watching The Big Short is useful. Almost everyone you know is full of shit, but there are a few weirdos out there who know what's up.
