Apart from attaining enlightened detachment from material existence, learning to author your own status games, in my experience, is the #1 way to save money

What I have taught myself to do, as a nerdy marketing guy who is philosophy-curious, is to invent status and social capital out of seemingly thin air. It can look like magic, but it’s just dumpster diving, like selling bargain-bin clothes at a markup on eBay, Girlboss style https://t.co/LQ3np6j11I

It’s funny to consider that this is a skill that is quite highly valued in the marketplace https://t.co/YIxNq9Z7p6

A crazy thing is that a seemingly meaningless existence can become relatively more meaningful just by thinking about it

surprising to realize that I'm not exactly entirely sure what I think is the most exciting thing in the world right now if I go by my own internal compass/gyroscope, I think it's the fact that people dramatically still underestimate how much social capital you can create online
