    After doing it for 30 years, it does feel like it, but really the opposite. For me, it feels like everyone else has been blinded by a pervasive, omnipresent religion. And you're just not part of it. But then again, I live in Utah and am not LDS/Mormon. And I'm vegan. So, living an outlier...

    NOTABLE! 
    Was watching the NBA playoffs last night. The announcer started talking about Mike Conley, Minnesota's "old" point guard. Conley said in Year 12 of his professional career as an NBA basketball player making MILLIONS, his body gave out and he could no longer endure the grind, unless something...

    Wow, terribly sad, but not surprising. I hope you find a pivot for the problem, or get some of those rankings restored.

    Fast Lane at 43?

    INTRO 
    If you deliver value to someone, they don't care about your age. When you buy something, do you ask the person who sold it to you their age? Is that even possible? 99% of the time it isn't so why make it an issue? It's only a issue in your head which then becomes an excuse not to progress.

    Not sure that would be a good test. I have plenty of patience, but only in meaningful matters. But I also value my time very highly, so much so that I won't waste it on internet games and time-wasting BS. In other words, if I found deep value in this test, I would have found the patience to...

    Experiences with payment providers that act as a Merchant of record

    TAXES | REGS 
    The problem with these is you are not the merchant of record, and you typically get paid once a month. My company isn't a bank that floats money -- which is what you become when using them.

    Hi there

    INTRO 
    Welcome aboard. And welcome to the red pill of a blue pill culture. And yes, wasting 30, 40-50 years of your adult life so you can retire in the last 10 is the dumbest idea that culture every normalized. Deep in our souls we know this, but like many things, we ignore it.

    Which comes down to meaning and purpose. "Why" is the deepest drill into impetus and purpose. For example, I try to jump rope every day. Why? Because I want to reach my max V02. Why? Because I want to be healthy when I'm 70,80, and 90. Why? Because I want to live long. Why? Because I love life...

    My workouts are far more intense at the gym, versus in my home gym. I really like being around other people who are far fitter than I. I elaborated here: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/this-awesome-life-hack-is-also-the-easiest-to-use.112883/ Yes, the teens are annoying...
