Way of life 6

Stone House/Wood Roof : There you go!

It's as simple as that. It's not that complicated.

If you want a house for free that requires almost no skill to make and will last forever and won't even burn down. Then this is for all of the slaves out there that are working for their CEO, who need to be their own boss for a change. This could be the start of a new life.

The Ancient Inca Empire never even had mortar or cement, all they had was adobe to put between the stones, and their structures are still standing!

Stone house: Just have a quarry and a hammer and chisel and break off some rock and build a structure. With home made adobe in between or spend a couple of bucks on some mortar. Build in a fire place or a window and you'll have everything needed to live in. Also make it an A-shaped house for the roof. Anywhere you live if you dig deep enough you will find bedrock.

Adobe: Make your own adobe out of a mud pit where you mix a slurry of dirt and let it dry up for a day and the sand will be at the bottom and the clay will be at the top. Then mix in the 33/66 ration of adobe. You now have your own mortar

Wood Roof: All you need for a roof is something water proof and wind proof. You could have it even made of grass. If the grass was thick enough no water would penetrate. But if you want modern technology just shingle some polyethylene/polypropylene/just any plastic sheets and nail the edges to a roof made of wood poles. Or if you're handy you can even melt the plastic sheets together with plastic weld found at any auto parts store.

Amenities: Add any amenities you want like an air conditioner in the window and a gas powered electric generator, or solar panels for low wattage applications. You can also build an out house that's just a hole in the ground. And as long as you cover it up with dirt it won't stink.
Also every one needs a car, so get one and make sure it keeps running. And have a snow mobile if you are in Alaska.

Cooking: Is a very good skill to have if your self reliant. Even just trial and error works and if you cook enough you'll finally learn to do it well. Catch fish with a fishing boat, or hunt animals or birds with a gun. And grow your own fruits and vegetables.

Free time: Go on all of the vacations you want, with all of the newly acquired free time on your hands. Also just think of how big of a house you could build working 8 hours a day like at any other job. You could get into the business of building log/stone cabins in Alaska and then selling them to snow birds who are retired or want a second home or just rent it out for a vacation as a lease with option to buy.

Forget cable and internet. Why do you need those? Anyways all cable programs are reruns, and I know because I got rid of cable a year ago and still see the same exact shows on my dad's tv and thousands of channels with nothing on. As for internet have you noticed all of the commercials on youtube now and ads everywhere on the internet. It's only a matter of time until every site is a pay site plus the ads. The internet soon won't even be worth going on anymore.

Financial reasons: If you bought all of this stuff from home depot you'd never be able to pay for it all. Which is why houses cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, or a rent of 500$/mo and up. I'd rather save all of that money and start a farm and make money off of fresh produce that is better quality and better prices than the stores. And sell it all at a fruit stand on the side of the road. Even if it's seasonal and just a summer job, it would probably pay better than the 800$/mo job at Walmart. If you factored in money saved on rent then you'd only have to make 300$/mo to break even. Oh yeah and don't worry about the benefits like insurance, or being full time because all businesses are getting rid of all of that very soon, and some already have.

Rules and the Ruling Class

Rules do not reflect reality, because reality has no rules. Rules only reflect the people making them.

The golden rule: The people with the gold make the rules.

I want to live in a place where you can leave your car or house unlocked and never ever have to worry. Also where you can leave a bike on the side of the road without locking it up. We all do these things as kids until people vandalize or steal things and we learn not to. Also we assume everyone is nice as kids but soon learn through experience that everyone is an asshole for no reason. Then we eventually become one ourselves.

Politics: Cutting spending is not in any politicians vocabulary. They're in it for power and control, if you spend more then you have control over people because now "They owe you". The whole idea of monetizing the budget is so the gov can give people money, so that the gov will get more power. The gov buying GM and socialized medicine and all other aspects of society is all about getting more power. This has been called "Obamanopoly".

Money is just a measurement of power. If the government taxes 50% of your monthly income then you are 50% slave to them. And if they ever find a way to tax 100% of your money every month then you will be 100% slave to them. Also monetizing the budget is a way to tax without people knowing it. They print more money and now all the dollars in the US are worth less. And therefor the fed just took money out of your pocket without you knowing it.

The whole financial crisis in California is a good example of where this country is heading. The whole problem would be solved if they cut spending. But they can't cut spending because that's not in politicians vocabulary. So now they have to sell off parts of the state, and legalize marajuana so that they can tax it. They now have a "Sin tax" where eating twinkies is taxable(the twinkie tax). The cost of cigarettes has just gone up $1 a pack as a sin tax, alcohol is the same. It's getting so preposterous that you'd have to be insane to live there. But it's a shame that someday that's what every state in the US will look like becase politicians only want more power and will never want less power. Which is exactly what our founding fathers were trying to avoid.

Rules and the ruling class:
Rules are another form of power. It's the way the man keeps you down. We have so many stupid rules now, and it keeps getting worse. Do the rules protect us? Or are they proposterous? Are rules the only way for society to function?

You're always seeing rich and powerful people in the news these days breaking the rules, and not just that, but getting away with it. Preachers being anointed by God to no longer be gay after being caught. Governors caught cheating on wives, and just saying they're sorry lets them get away with it. Even in these trusted positions with all this power, where we need the most trustworthy individuals, we have them doing untrustworthy things. Even the presidents, like Bill Clinton getting impeached. And Nixons Watergate. Can we even trust our supreme court justices when during every state of the union address they never clap or show any opinion or emotion either way as if they were vulcans. We all know that every human has opinions or emotion, and we're supposed to believe this. How is this fakery trustworthy.

Even when the powerful elite break the law they just make it top secret. If nothing ever officially happened then it can never be against the law, can it. See my top secret post.

If you're rich you don't have to follow the rules. There are no consequences.
When Paris Hilton broke the law and was supposed to go to jail she instead was allowed to stay under house arrest for a few days in her multimillion dollar mansion and then she was off scot free. If the rich have a criminal record it doesn't matter because they won't need to apply for a job any time soon with their net worth. And if they have to pay bail that's nothing. What's a few thousand dollars to a multi millionaire? Why should we follow the rules, if our ruling class doesn't?

What's the point of enforcing the rules if even when you punish a criminal they still commit more crimes afterward as repeat offenders? The 3 strikes you're out rule is a good solution to this though.

People will always follow the rules anyway. Just keep the right group of friends. Because we all have networks of friends, if we ever do anything to hurt anyone then their friends will eventually ask questions and find out and punish you. This also means that you can have rumors spread that are untrue and make enemies for no reason, with the wrong group of friends. Example: Blair witch trials, and tribal witch doctor culture. So our society with no rules would be as bad as tribal culture with law enforcement. Minus any reason cause a fight other than magic, or killing for no reason.

"Where there are no people there are no rules." So if all else fails and martial law is in sight, head to international waters or a developing country in the wilderness, to get away from it all, until all the dust settles. See my survival checklist for how to survive.

I have a little theory though, to solve all of these problems of rules. It's so simple, that it might just work.

I submit that if everything in life were free, then there would be no need for rules! Look to my "Free emporium post" for more details.

Lost Paradise

The problem with paradise the getting to it. Paradise being an undeveloped lush place where you can sit on the beach and drink special drinks and do nothing but be alone. This usually only exists in undeveloped countries. A candidate is Osa Peninsula Costa Rica. I saw it on an episode of survivor man.
So to get there would be an extreme endeavor of travel and paperwork and risks and expenses, but if you could get there in your own boat somehow and live out of the boat and afford to not work, then you could just stay there and experience paradise for as long as you wanted.
So the hardest part about paradise is just getting there.

• Bring infinite source of obtaining food and water. Spear fish using a "Hawaiian sling" with paralyzer tip. But using nets is more efficient use of time and energy. Sweat from heat necessitates water source. You can get all the nutrition you need off of coco nuts alone, but you still need variety to stay sane.
  
• Bring tape and alcohol for wounds to not get infected(it's not the cut that kills you, it's the infection).
• Only beaches have coco nuts.
• Leaf rub test: Rub types of leaves on parts of arms and wait a few hours for a rash to break out, if they don't, then you have your new source of tp.
• To cool down be next to a stream that has cool mountain water.
• Move boat if there's a storm
• Just leave if you ever get bored with this type of paradise and instead visit another paradise that you saw on another episode of survivor man.

It's risky to get to paradise, like the saying "People are just dieing to get into heaven!"

When I quit my job that's where I'm going, someday!

The Theory Behind Becoming Rich

The best and simplest unified theory I've found is: Buy low, sell high, and always have spare liquid assets or cash to invest when the market is low.

Other theories are "creating value", And also that "the price is set by the buyer" and "value is in the mind of the buyer". But these aren't very easy to understand or apply in any way, and they don't really explain all aspects of money making in one simple unifying theory. But I haven't heard every economic theory that is around, so if you have a better simple theory then feel free to type it in the "comments section".

The reason why it's always easier to make money once you already have money, is just a matter of scale. When you have a million dollars earning only 10% interest in an investment, that translates into 100,000$ which is more than most poor people ever see in cash equivalents. Sort of like how the scale of an ant compared to an elephant. 20 ft of walking is short for an elephant but seems like a mile for an ant.

having lots of money is like having another person working for you, because the money performs work by itself without any supervision, and then gives all of its proceeds to you.

Factoid: Rich people on average life longer than poor people because they can afford any kind of medical care. Even if it's located across the world.

I'm lucky enough to be ready to buy a house when the market has gone down, so now in Florida there are lots of 2 bedroom 2 bath houses for 50,000$ or less soon.

I'm also lucky to be invested in Zenn stock while it's still a penny stock. And if the smartest people in the world are mistaken about investing in this one, then nobody is smart enough to invest properly. The risk with this company is loosing half of your money if it fails, but the reward of this company is gaining 5 times as much money if it succeeds in it's claims, by the end of the year.

Always have maximum reward and minimum risk in all investments. Or just as a general rule in every aspect of life other than money.

The problem is knowing when the market is at the bottom and when the market is at the top. So don't guess, instead just be in a position to take advantage of profitable opportunities after they become available. In other words you don't need to know when the market is at the bottom if you know for a fact that the market will be up sometime in the future. And alternatively you don't need to know when the market is at the top, because as long as you've made a profit then you can sell at any time. If you don't know what the future is short term, then invest for the long term.

In the end only buy things when they are priced at the lowest price that they should ever be at, when opportunity knocks. That way if they ever go up in price at all, then you can sell them at any time that you want, and it will always be profitable, without the need to predict.

An example of "buying low, selling high", is buying limited edition collector item games, in mint unopened condition when they just went out of print and then waiting for the demand to kick in at the next Christmas season and then sell them on ebay. If nothing else, you'll get back you're original investment, which means minimal risk. See collecting video games post
