Nailed it!!! (As usual.)

I particularly like your asterisk. I came to hunting rather late in life, but it is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Being in nature. Taking an animal's life. Butchering that animal. All of that has put me much closer to Nature and given me an incredible appreciation for food, in general, and meat, in particular. People should not be so far removed from their food.

Keep up the great work, Michael.

I'm glad you appreciate the asterisk. I agree. You might appreciate the updated version of Peter Singer's Animal Liberation Now. It helped strengthen my commitment to hunting.

Thanks for the suggestion. That looks like it will be quite a challenge for me. With an introduction by the WEFer and globalist Yuval Noah Harari?? But, hey, I'm working on becoming comfortable with uncomfortable. Maybe this can count as my misogi?

I finished Scarcity Brain last week. I am reading "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying" by Bronnie Ware. I also visited the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque while in France last week. Points 4 and 5 are very much on my mind. As I move through my days, what used to trouble me now seems minor. The angst around "how will I get it all done" is more or less gone. When you go without and think about death being our only guarantee in life, unhelpful thought patterns, for me at least, are much easier to catch and reframe.

I haven't even read the post yet. Saw the title hit my inbox and it brought me joy. Michael, I'm not sure how pre-planned your posts are, but this feels very timely. I appreciate you and your messaging, and this community. 💪

I finished Scarcity Brain 2 days ago. Thanks for adding this reporting into the world.
