I did some reading in The Almanac of Naval Ravikant today.
The big take away for today was Leverage, which is define as using what you control to grow and maximize your influence.
In the not too distance past this was a Permissioned Leverage, meaning you'd have to ask for permission to use the resources. This could be in the form of capital (loans), labor (employees) or even following the rules (Twitter). This means someone or groups of people control you. Think the influence of the big investment banks or unions or other powerful interests. Look at what the state education systems are trying to do: leverage the minds of students to make good employees, not independent thinkers.
The other form of leverage is Permissionless where you can use the resource without permission of anybody or you own the resource. Think self publishing, code, distributed monetary systems (#bitcoin), protocols (#nostr). #homeschooling your children to be independent thinkers. The basis of a lot of these examples seem to be your mind.
My own little niche on the Permissionless Leverage front is plant propagation, and worm farming. Agriculture, #gardening and #permaculture. Biology and the systems we define and create can grow our wealth and influence. I do not need to trade time for money I can set up the systems and let them go and grow, I leverage biology to produce wealth.
You can look at what the "old guard" is trying to gain and maintain control over: education, crypto, food, nutrition, agriculture. Making these systems permissioned, under their control, to influence and leverage them out force you to use the established system. And this is often done under the guise of trying to protect you.
My thoughts for today!

quoting nevent1q…2afnFinished The Almanack of Naval Ravikant on the plane and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Got some good insights out of it, wrote a few notes down. Has anyone else read it?
