So have you read Ray Dalio's book, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order? No. Oh, it's going to fuck up your sleep.
He pegged civil war in the US at a 30% chance. That book came out, I think two months ago. He now pegs our chances at 40%. So we're moving in the wrong direction.
Ray Dalio's assessment of the situation is so astonishingly wellresearched. He's been in the thick of it for decades, spent hundreds of millions of dollars on research of global trends, and he says the odds of a U.S. civil war are about 40%.

It was described as a life advice book, a beauty advice book, and a style advice book, and a gorgeous coffee table style book. The life section, in particular, was highlighted for its content on imposter syndrome and self-belief.
"
I read the entire section on life.
The other sections about beauty and style are a little bit more tricky.
But I read everything in the life section about that's where I got some of those quotes from and the stuff about imposter syndrome and self belief and all of those things.
It is a life advice book. It is a beauty advice book. It is a style advice book. And it's just a gorgeous coffee table style book.
So the whole point of doing this book was to say, you hate looking at pictures of yourself. I hate fucking looking at pictures of myself.

This book explores the mismatch between human biology and modern life, explaining how humans are poorly adapted to the rapid pace of change in the 21st century and offers solutions to help humanity adapt.
"
Human beings are a unique species. The primary way in which we are unique is that if you think about the question about, well, what do human beings do?
So we are unlike any other species because our niche is the movement between niches, both over time and across space.
So I want to make sure I fully understand this as if a 10-year-old would understand it is we have kind of two modes.
We have what we had passed to us and because of consciousness and language and our ability to communicate, we have what we're discovering now about the nature of the world.
Together, that's what makes humans so special. And really what ties that all together is language and the ability to communicate.
