Sometimes, when people keep making fun of you for playing the wrong game, it can be really fun to join their game briefly and beat them so bad at their own game they'll never question your choices again.

Just so you know, that's my view of the economy right now. I tried to ignore it for 35 years. I went off the memes I had that told me what I was going to be able to achieve for a given amount of work. I focused on what mattered to me and did what seemed to be needed to make it work financially, according to the options that were available.

And the economy fucking lied to me. It left me with less predictability than ever before, a lifestyle that was getting worse over time, and a bunch of roadblocks that prevented me from growing as quickly as I wanted.

It promised a lot, and delivered fuckall.

So now, I'm going to play the games everyone wants to make me play.

I'm going to raise VC money from a very specific set of VCs that I want to win. They are the ones propagating the memes that are most vital to the future, not the ones on stupid fucking power trips.

I'm going to use that to bet on people that the economy doesn't understand.

I'm going to create stability in society that will make everyone's lives easier and more meaningful.

Then, on paper, I'll be the richest person on earth because the numbers don't actually mean anything the way we've captured them. But it's a video game and I'm going to play it just to show the people that think I don't understand it exactly how well I understand it.

And finally, I'm going to try to build a time machine. 

2025 is going to be a great year.
