Update from Europe: I, Brayden ‘Sovereign-Individual’ Multisig, have discovered something deeply uncomfortable. After a decade of screaming that taxes are theft, safety nets are socialism for ugly people, and that society should run on 100× leverage and raw founder energy, I have to report the following treasonous facts: My blood pressure is down. I sleep through the night without checking if my bags are -90 % I haven’t tried to onboard a single barista to copy-trade me. I just… feel good? Like, suspiciously good? Apparently the same policies I diagnosed as ‘serotonin-deficient serfware’ function differently when you’re not personally exposed to the downside. Who knew? I spent years telling founders that universal healthcare would turn us into docile NPCs and it turns out it mostly turns you into someone who doesn’t have to pretend ‘hustle culture’ is a personality because of golden-handcuffs perk for making partner at a16z or grinding LeetCode for ten years.
