Time may take your good looks, misfortune may take your wealth, an accident may take your loved ones and external conditions may take your health, but you will always have philosophy, you will always have your personality - your personal reality.

Everything is a lesson, my man! Will be publishing a short piece on this soon, probably next week. But here's an excerpt: Every event, every situation, every experience is an opportunity to learn. It's all lessons. Wins and losses. Wins are actually less potent lessons because they don't necessarily teach you anything new. They signal that what you're already doing is good enough. Just keep doing it and you're likely to win again. Losses can teach us much more, if we're able to understand the lesson. Because often, it's not clear why we lost. There's a multiplicity of reasons and combinations of them as to why you could be failing. Not winning, but becoming a student of life who can best extract the lessons from both winning and losing, should be your goal.

Jesus took on the suffering of the entire world voluntarily. That is what one must do, if they wish to become a spiritual warrior. That's also what Dostoevsky meant when he said that every man is responsible not only for themselves, but for all of humanity. The warrior sage must learn to carry that weight with grace and compassion, for otherwise they are doomed to crumble under it. That burden is the ultimate spiritual exercise, resistance training of the soul, the one true challenge to make it grow. The question is: will you accept the challenge?

A gentle reminder to touch grass. Or snow, or something 🤠

Thanks for sharing brother 🙏

Was re-listening to Once Bitten #562: Stolen Science Series Part 7 - Decoding The Science Of Ancient Initiations with and yesterday and was reminded of this: https://blossom.primal.net/165961a5b0484ed8d9655c33a74161d8349426358b644222df8ec1a2f91ef950.3gp Funnily enough, during that trip to Cambodia in 2023, I also started writing this: https://medium.com/@mckontext/unified-creation-energy-theory-ucet-8814041ed94c ...which aligns pretty much perfectly with a lot of what Red is talking about in that episode. Highly recommend giving it a listen if you haven't yet: https://fountain.fm/episode/xJhmGJwLayW0ADEwmU2L

: *WAKING THE PEOPLE UP* THE PEOPLE: *RUNNING OUT OF COMPUTE* Kudos to for putting the truth out there tho. And for keeping a cool head answering these scripted replies :)

Finally googled WTF "hawk tuah" is. I wish I didn't.

Pretty surreal that these bad boys will soon be on the shelves of 2 of the largest bookstore chains in Estonia #bookstr

Oh, and via my site there's another 5% off at checkout if paying in #bitcoin 😉

Yes! In EE bookstores it's 30 €, on my site it's 25 € (and 4 EUR off with promo code nostr) + shipping for the US (6 EUR, ~$7 USD). https://kontext.store/product/a-stoic-resurrection/ + it's also available on Amazon: $29 + shipping

All of my Tallinn gangsters 🇪🇪 See you in 2 weeks: 20 Feb 2026 at 17:30 in Rahva Raamat (Viru Keskus) I will be doing a presentation of my book "A Stoic Resurrection." The book itself is currently only available in English, but the presentation will either be in Estonian, English or both, depending on what languages the people that show up speak. Hope to see you there 🫡 https://rahvaraamat.ee/et/sundmused/raamatu-a-stoic-resurrection-esitlus?id=849 The event will also be livestreamed on Facebook so you can still tune in even if you can't make it. I'm thinking maybe I'll be able to get to come along with me and do a #nostr livestream as well 👀

:)

Well, if you must know, I did a ~3h yoga & calisthenics session, baked a sourdough, cooked a steak and watched Fallout S02E08 today.
