Title.
I currently don't have a "gem" like that to call my own, thus, I've chosen to turn to SN once more.

My most recent gem, that I'm telling everyone about is The Big Fat Surprise, by Nina Teicholtz.
It started me down the path of questioning the government nutritional guidelines, and becoming more open to eating far more meat. And that started me down the path of becoming carnivore. And becoming carnivore has improved my life immensely.
I can go on and on about this topic to anyone I meet up with in person - much more so than bitcoin, so many people just dismiss bitcoin out of hand, while carnivore is something that lots of people latch on to.
I wrote a post about the book here: This book is blowing my mind - The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholtz.

Hm, I think that food's a highly individual topic, but yeah: the government's guidelines often follow a "one-size-fits-all" approach, ain't it?

The Sovereign Individual. Still haven’t finished the book, but even reading through the first 100 pages the book details how technology will free us from our oppressors.
“Genius will be unleashed, freed from both the oppression of government and the drags of racial and ethnic prejudice. In the Information Society, no one who is truly able will be detained by the ill-formed opinions of others. It will not matter what most of the people on earth might think of your race, your looks, your age, your sexual proclivities, or the way you wear your hair. In the cybereconomy, they will never see you. The ugly, the fat, the old, the disabled will vie with the young and beautiful on equal terms in utterly color-blind anonymity on the new frontiers of cyberspace.”

Hm, and what do you make of that citation?

As a younger person, I am unsure as to when or if I’ll be able to start a family or purchase a house. I think that there are many factors such as exuberant taxes and inflation that affect the decisions we make in our everyday lives. With the rise of this cybereconomy, a lot of these factors that hinder my ability to plan for the future affect me less and less. By cybereconomy, i mean bitcoin.
I think that the less power other people have over me, the better. I have a plan for my future and I don’t want somebody else to be able to snap their fingers, change a law here and there, and stop me from moving forward with that plan.
I hope that this makes sense.

Hm, interesting! From younger-person to younger-person, what are some key-points of your plan?🤨

I don’t really have a fully fleshed out plan. I just know that stacking sats is the first step to making everything easier. I’ll figure it out as I go along but having a fat stack definitely helps.

Stay humble and stack sats! I think that the American Dream is actually achievable if our money isn’t inflated to shit (preaching to the choir). I want to get back to an era where people are able to work minimum wage and still afford a house. This is possible on a bitcoin standard imo.
On a bitcoin standard, people are a little more incentivized to provide value to each other rather than stealing it from one another. Not only does this all make us wealthier, this creates a much better culture as well. To a fellow young person, you’re already wealthy beyond the majority of everyone else, simply because you stack sats. I think it’s really that simple. I get caught up in the noise a lot with issues around mining centralizing, ordinals and now runes, but bitcoin prevails.

Yeah, we really might be the "upper middle-class" of the future simply by front running the ignorant masses.
