+## 📚 Education & Knowledge
+
+- Never stop learning
+- Learn from others
+- Teach others what you know
+- Communicate precisely
+- Ask the right questions, not just the easy ones
+- Primary sources over secondary sources
+- Read books, lots of books
+- Read books, not news
+- Study history and economics to understand the present and future
+- Learn languages
+- Learn poems
+
+## 🧠 Personal Development
+
+- Be yourself
+- Don’t compare yourself with others
+- Act as if your ancestors are watching
+- Take control of yourself before you take on the world
+- Behave like your best self
+- Discipline beats motivation
+- The best time was yesterday, the second best is now
+- Do the work: Work on yourself, nothing comes by itself, you have to invest in yourself and work hard to achieve something
+- Take care of yourself (health, psyche, finances, relationships, living conditions)
+- If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right
+- Build wealth, not possessions
+
+## 🏠 Order & Structure
+
+- The strength is to be found in serenity
+- Stop and enjoy
+- Don’t be a Zombie. Be aware of your surroundings.
+- Don’t stand in other people’s way, physically and mentally. Don’t stand in doorways, in front of escalators, or block sidewalks with a group of people. And don’t stand in the way of other people’s goals and dreams.
+- Create systems, not goals
+- What you don’t need burdens you
+- Order on the outside creates order on the inside
+- A place for everything, everything in its place (Mise en place)
+- Plan tomorrow today
+- Establish strong morning routines
+- Clean your room
+
+## 💪 Mental Strength
+
+- The world owes you nothing
+- Fuck Hopium. Don't wait for others to solve your problems.
+- Strong men create good times
+- Fuck your feelings. Don’t take everything literally.
+- What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
+- Resilience comes through resistance
+- Speech you hate, is not hate speech
+- If you think, shutting somebody down, will make them go away, you are like a child that thinks closing the eyes, will make the monster go away.
+- Develop antifragile systems
+- Delay gratification. Only those who are able to wait, can reap the rewards.
+- “Yes, and …” mentality, not “but” mentality
+- Don’t be afraid to fail
+- No risk, no reward
+- Be hard on yourself, but forgiving to others
+- Surround yourself with good people
+
+## 🌟 Philosophical Principles
+
+- Freedom is non-negotiable
+- Freedom over authoritarianism
+- There is no such thing as absolute security. Freedom always comes before security.
+- Anyone who wants to trade freedom for security deserves to lose both.
+- Fuck Collectivism
+- Fuck bureaucracy
+- Individualism beats collectivism
+- Decentralized beats centralized
+- Sovereignty beats dependence
+- Subsidiarity over centralism
+- Small is beautiful
+- Less Marx, more Mises
+- Nothing is more social than capitalism. Capitalism forces you to serve your fellow citizens.
+- Capitalism is the absence of coercion. Socialism is the absence of voluntariness.
+- If it looks like a socialist, acts like a socialist, and talks like a socialist, then it probably is a socialist.
+- There is no free lunch
+- Look at what people do, not what they say
+- Everything the state touches turns to shit
+- Taxation is theft
+- Inflation is theft
+- Fiat money is a scam
+- Democracy is the tyranny of the apathetic
+- Never side with the mob
+- The road to hell is paved with good intentions
+- The opposite of good is well-intentioned
+- Skin in the game or no voice
+- I don’t care if you agree
+
+## 🎯 Critical Thinking
+
+- Don’t trust, validate everything
+- What seems obvious is rarely true
+- Consensus is not the same as truth
+- Nobody has a special authority, nobody has the final say
+- Yesterday’s conspiracy is today’s reality
+- Everything is a psy-op until proven otherwise
+- Think in systems, not events
+- Follow the Money
+- Cui bono? Who benefits?
+- Always ask about the incentives
+- Don’t change an existing system until you fully understand it (Chesterton’s Fence)
+- Less television, more thinking for yourself
+- Take the red pill, don’t live in the illusion that some think tank, elite group, or politician constructed for you
+- Reject the black pill; good always wins in the long run
+- If someone tells you who they are, believe them
+
+## 🌍 Social Attitude
+
+- Tell the truth, or at least don’t lie. Not to yourself, not to others.
+- You can tell all the lies you want, but don’t force me to pay for it
+- All state television must be abolished!
+- Don’t be a _Mitläufer_ (passive follower). Be the 25 % in the [Asch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments) and [Milgram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment) experiments.
+- Resist the war against excellence, individualism, and the urge to conformity and mediocrity
+- If you make everything equal, you reach the lowest common denominator.
+- Exit via voice
+- Put your money where your mouth is
+- Vote with your feet
+- Build parallel structures
+- Act locally, think globally
+- Walk the red light when there is no traffic
+- Only follow rules that make sense; don’t be an obedient sheep.
+- Civil Disobedience is a moral imperative
+- All punishments for victimless crimes must be abolished
+- Be the change you want to see
+- Lead by example
+- Create value for others
+- Support those who do the right thing
+
+## 😊 Joy of Life
+
+- Memento mori, memento vivere
+- Find Beauty in Everyday Life
+- Create memories, not possessions
+- Get out of your head, into the body
+- Go for a walk, demons hate fresh air
+- Do meaningful things
+- Cultivate real friendships
+- Live analog in a digital world
+- Share and create memes. Mock your enemies until they cry. Mockery and ridicule are the best weapons against totalitarian thinking.
+- Laugh at everything, especially at yourself. Nothing is off-limits.
+- Have fun
