Is this thing on?

YBC is on vacation so I thought I’d dust the typewriter off and share some banal thoughts I’ve had recently.

It’s all about women stop pretending otherwise. All of it. You’re lying to yourself if you say otherwise. I have a friend who’s been in denial of this fact for a number of months and it’s making him terminally ill. He’ll figure it out.

Optimization is the worst thing you can attempt in your entire life. No one has ever achieved the girl they want the job they want the life they want the friendships and hardships and turmoil and love and direction that they needed from optimization. Avoid at all costs. Spend money when you want. Save it when you can. Get a rewards credit card but don’t read about how to transfer the miles to some other thing to some other other thing in order to get 5x just use them to upgrade yourself every once in a while. Workout if you desire, but they’re not gonna fuck you if you isolate some muscle group more or less. I like Retatrutide it’s been great to me but I just eyeball the syringe and the program until I got thin. I don’t have a fucking protocol. I’ve never hired a resume coach. Just live your life on your terms and have a destination in mind and you’ll get to where you want eventually, or close enough to be satisfied.

I hate how the world tries to preach that you should kill expectations to find enlightenment. Maybe that’s some shit all the west coast people got from going to yoga I don’t know. Expectations are fine. Even unreasonable ones. Even if you’re miserable only because you wanted more. That’s fine too. Want more.

I learned one thing a long time that has improved my life in order to live in a way I find superior to others and it’s that I love being miserable more than I love getting everything. You’ll never see me eat a Lexapro or talk to a professional. You might find me eating a Percocet and rewatching the lil peep documentary. They made art for that reason anyway. You should never stabilize your moods. You should be erratic. Why not.

Antifragile was a fine book if only because the concept of getting stronger thru volatility is important. The modern world is full of the worst kinds of conflict. No one’s stabbing you with a sword anymore they’re just backchanneling about your life where you can’t even tell they’re doing it. Thats scarier volatility because it comes out of nowhere. It’s more important than ever to be resilient, but it’s easier than ever to be numb to it. Fake it. Brutal stuff.

People are more jealous than ever, they shoot people in the head just because they got more attention than they did. I’m no better. But I try to befriend people I’m jealous of, if I can. I try to hate people who make me sick by how poorly they live their life.

That’s all I got. I don’t know too much but I know one good thing: you can just choose to win so do that.
