This man destroyed wokeism:
Naval Ravikant.
He was an early investor in Notion, Twitter & Uber & is worth $600M+
He's been on fire lately on X.
Here is Naval's updated philosophy:
1. "If you aren’t volunteering to fight in a particular war, you shouldn’t be advocating for it."
Rip off the Ukra!ne badges.
Pretending to care should be illegal. Virtue signaling for status points is horrific.
We need to call these people out.

2. "Upcoming deregulation wave will create an economic sonic boom."
• It's hard to do business because stupid people run most countries.
• Increasing the size of any government leads to overregulation & increased stupidity.

3. “Go woke, go broke.”
The woke mindset has created more poverty than capitalism ever did.
While they spread wokeism they also devalued their currency by creating more of it out of thin air
If wokes cared about minorities they'd stop letting them be poor with high inflation + money printing

4. "If you don’t lie awake at night thinking about it, you don’t want it badly enough."
Chase what you can't stop thinking about.
Hang around other psychopaths, maniacs & misfits. Because f*ck fitting in.

5. "Replace all desires with a single desire."
This is another way to describe obsession.
Lukewarm people in their comfort zone rarely change the world.
Right now we need more builders & fewer critics

6. "The single biggest wealth hack is living in the future."
Futurists are crucial.
They see the world better than it is. People like Balaji & Lex Fridman.
If you want to be wealthy, find out how to use AI or blockchain to solve problems.

7. "Any government that slows down the development of spacecraft, medicine, robots, and intelligence is an impediment to civilization."
This is 99% of governments.
Vote them out.

8. "It’s a race between technology-driven abundance and government-driven poverty."
• Governments rarely make things better
• They're terrible at spending
• And they go into huge debt
The government isn't going to save you. Save yourself.

9. "The real tax is society forcing otherwise productive people to pay attention to politics."
Attention is the new gold/Bitcoin.
Stop giving it to mainstream news that wants to manipulate you.
• Use social media.
• Curate your own newsfeed.

10. "Colleges have become status-stamping machines."
Use the $100K+ you were going to spend on college to start a business.
You'll learn 10X more. And you won't go woke.

11. "Nothing will attract people to you as much as your values."
• Stand for something
• Build a freaking movement
Life is too short to be mediocre.

12. "It’s rare for intelligence and drive to intersect in one person. When they do, look out."
Hang around obsessed people.
Judge intelligence based on whether people get what they want in life.
Memorizing information = Stupidity

13 "If you have secret information, secret police, and secret courts, you are ruled by a secret government."

ADHD & Autism are often superpowers.

15. "Leaders come and leaders go, but don’t change the rules of the game.
Censorship is changing the rules of the game.
Lawfare is changing the rules of the game.
Importing voters is changing the rules of the game.
Time to change the people who are changing the rules of the game." – Naval

16. "Pay the world whatever it takes to leave you alone to think."
True wealth is free time to do whatever you want.
If you have no time to think you're worse than bankrupt. And mental illness will creep in.

17. "The smarter you are, the faster you see through any given game."
Life is a video game.
The lamest game is the corporate ladder. It leads to nowhere.
Exit the rat race & set yourself free. You deserve it. One life.
Don't play stupid games with stupid stubborn people.
