I read Think and Grow Rich a while back. I do think it's important to adjust your mindset when it comes to money and abundance. Also I love Matt's podcast!

Call me conservative, but people who start dating much younger family members are creeps in my book.

Urgh yuck, I've never heard that story.

Im conscious that my opinion is very influenced by my privileged life, its a bit like the same argument with take a knee. Everybody is getting upset by the action of take a knee and ignoring the racism the football players are trying to highlight.

I've heard lots of older people comment on the #metoo movement saying its going over the top but turning a blind eye to the true horror of sexual exploitation which #metoo is trying to shine a light on.

The people perpetrating both crimes are using false equivalency to cover their tracks, and many people it seems in the UK and USA are willing to just go along with this mock outrage.

People believe the most ludicrous of conspiracy theories and ignore what is going on right in front of there eyes.

I really truly believe the quote

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

But don't get me wrong. I like Matt. I just can't escape picturing him this way.

This is so cool!

I've never understood why people put bumper stickers on their cars saying "support the troops" and then vote for people who will screw veterans over.

Matt is my spirit animal

Totally in on fuck the troops, but like those pervasive anti sheep fucking laws, it does come from somewhere. Namely Vietnam, when we threw stuff and spit at them when they came home from all their baby murdering.
