  1. Recommended to me by @Dylan Lawrence Moore, I found Rich Dad, Poor Dad (not sure if the comma is part of the actual title since I don't think it is but I put it there anyway) as an audiobook on YouTube. And by GOD ABOVE was it the most productive and empowering red pill I've ever swallowed! Not only did it "reveal" (I put quotes because if you've been following Stefpai some of the stuff should already be known to you--however if you're a fresh face to the real world then it's as good as any a first step!) a lot of truths and facts about society, money, and etc. but it fundamentally encapsulates the core distinctions between the Rich, the Poor, and the Middle Class. The audiobook for the book proper is only 3 hours long--I won't attempt to boil it down to a couple paragraphs because every line is worth listening to and frankly I'd do a disservice if I tried. You can find a way to break down 3 hours into diggestable bits as needed and you'll be well-rewarded for it. As a "spoiler" though I'll point out what Robert Kiyosaki claims (and I think rationally and reasonably) to be the primary distinction between the Rich and the Middle Class/Poor: Financial Literacy. Financial Literacy is essentially knowing what wealth is, knowing how to separate assets from liabilities and the wisdom to tell the difference before sealing the deal. Public School education isn't much and College Education is becoming increasingly worthless (worse than worthless actually; about a few hundred thousand dollars of bad debt + anywhere from 2-10 years of your life, potentially!) and I have to say this book as an introduction to financial literacy was worth far more than anything I've ever learned from the government schools. Even more than my ability to read and do basic math, I'd dare say. I don't care how old you are or how busy you are: you will be helped by this book and the younger and fresher you are the more empowered you'll be in the long run by this information. Don't be the Poor Dad and embody the Poor Dad's ways of thinking and being; become the Rich Dad and invest in yourself. And this free audiobook is definitely an infinitely profitable return on investment!

  2. Something I've been wondering about for over ten years. https://www.bitchute.com/video/P38FtnSf9CXx/ In my study of animals, something bothered me when watching a documentary on dinosaurs. Their size just didn't seem possible relative to the earth's present day gravity. Animals are shaped to fit into their environments. Something didn't set right with me. But how could we explain how gravity may have increased since the time of these giants and what was the evidence? My comments are on the BitChute page. Any thoughts?

  3. Yea, I think as many people should do platforms as possible. Obviously it's not for everyone, but here's my reasoning why: Particularly in the realms of politics and philosophy, there are a lot of people who are simply not interested in the topics. However, there are people who are interested in you. You have friends and family who are going to listen to you because you're you, not because of the topic. This can get them to think about the topic and become interested in it when they otherwise never would have thought about it.

  4. I don't like what they did, and I'm American. That type of behavior is something one would expect from a country like North Korea, not England. About family: true, criticizing blood members is difficult, but if one doesn't do that, they'd be taken advantage of by them for years. In my situation, I had to go beyond criticizing them; I had to cut them out because I got fed up with their hypocrisy and double-standards while claiming to love me.

  5. BNP: Red pill moment for me, I remember when I was at high school/College, thinking why is it that everyone on the TV are saying that immigration from Eastern Europe is all great, no negatives. Anyway asked my father and he said maybe the NF or BNP(literally had never heard of them before) are against it, so looked it up on the Internet. At or shortly after that time they were investigating into the Rape Gangs and Nick Griffin was put on trial for "Hate Speech". Also did the freedom of information request for the MP Expenses. Imo I think they're bought out now and are sock puppets. Emmigrating: Anyone with sense and work ethic has left, or is leaving the UK, for greener pastures.... Exempting family commintments or other ties.

  6. The woman is a moron. A complete, utter, useless moron. Since she's been in power she hasn't accomplished ANYTHING positive. All she's done is done her best to ruin brexit, implement more hate speech laws, imprison and ban more people from entering the UK and piss people off more and more. Straight after the breaking of the russia story there came the news that Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen from Britain First have been sent to jail...for talking about the muslim rape gangs. Then came the news that Brittany Pettibone had been detained just for entering the UK. Then straight after that we now find out about the Telford grooming gang case where more than 1000 girls were raped by muslims over decades. And not a mention in the mainstream media. And instead what do the lying media talk about? The "punish a muslim letters" trying to portray the muslims as victims when at the same time the white natives are getting literally raped by this filthy scum we've let into our country. I'm now so fucked off with the whole situation I'm actually seriously considering leaving the UK. If things don't improve or get worse over the next few years I'm leaving the UK and going to the US. The UK is turning into a real socialist police state and I don't want to continue to live here if things don't improve. If I'm still here in a few years then I'll be voting ForBritain or UKIP. Hell I might even vote BNP seeing how bad the two mainstream political parties are.

  8. The article doesn't have much substance. It just smears his early life and says a seminar he took inspiration from is cult-like and a lot of the same insults directed against Stefan Molyneux when he talks to people. Then there is a series if anecdotes saying Kiyosaki gives bad/illegal/vague advice. Well, I don't know about you, but I am inclined to ask: who is the millionaire here? And by extension who is following their own rule books? Well I know Kiyosaki is a millionaire and I know nothing about his jilted critics. I didn't bother to see if they were totally honest in accordance to their values but I do think it's worth applying that to Kiyosaki. I learned a hell of a lot in Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It wasn't vague or insubstantial. Sometimes he "said something without saying something" but I think his word choice is very deliberate because his implied saying something isn't always true. For example: Assets versus Liabilities. A house? Why that's a liability (unless you're renting it out to reliable tenants). A car? Also a liability (unless it's a cab you're renting out). What is a Corporation? A bunch of paper work that fundamentally shifts how the order of money works from personal expenses first to tax last. Therefore a corporation can be a tax haven to reinvest money into itself and potentially pay nothing in taxes. He also talked about the Socialistic mindset of the Poor and the government and a lot of stuff Stefpai talks about that I won't bother repeating. I don't discount this explanation of how the Capitalist versus the Socialist thinks because it's quite valuable. He also talks about the "rat race" of how most people increase their spending to match their income, and the result is not being any wealthier than previously. He defined wealth as "how many days I can live without working" and got that from Buckminster Fuller (if I'm spelling his name right). He taught me how simple an income/outcome and assets/liabilities sheet is and how to manage it and how to read it quickly. He used anecdotes to describe creative thinking in seemingly hopeless or poor situations. Like buy expensive houses while they're cheap from an economic crash in order to re-sell them for a significant profit. I plan to re-read it simply because there's a lot packed into it. Anyone who claims Kiyosaki is sweet words without substance is, empirically from what I can tell, full of shit like those claiming Donald Trump was a failed businessman or a warmonger or a "nazi" or a "nasty". Of course, if you have some advice for me I can use, I'd be happy to hear it. I don't want to rely on only one man's advice because I'd be liable to follow his weaknesses as well. And since there is no perfect man, it is unreliable to only rely on one man's advice. I'd be very happy to hear a reasoned argument from a detractor on what I ought to do versus what Kiyosaki is saying I ought to do.
