Tariffs or no, I want as little to do as possible with global systems of exploitation—systems that ravage the environment, enslave lives for cheap labor, and drown all meaning in marketing and manipulation.

Let’s constantly prune our lives of excess and superfluity to reveal the raw, unprocessed, and wild core within. That is a return to human.

Unknowingly, we often serve as walking billboards for big corporations. Have you ever tried unbranding—removing logos and labels from clothes, tech, and other consumer goods?

Our lives are controlled by social programming. Lies that tell us we’re not good enough unless we consume the right products and follow the right scripts. Examine your motives. Be yourself.

Yes, health is a moral imperative. And vitality is a moral value. It is a revolt against lethargy, domestication, and the forces that seek to suppress and control our humanity. Come back to life.

Have you ever tried to find healthy lunch options on a military base? If we want our warriors to be FIT, NOT FAT we need to shape the environment to support healthier norms. @SecDef Secretary Kennedy #MAHA

The modern world domesticates humans through coercive institutions that strip us of agency, vitality, and meaning. Freedom begins when we stop believing in their moral authority and start rebuilding life at a human scale.

When systems are too dense to navigate: People don’t start businesses; they get jobs. They don’t manage their health; they obey prescriptions. They don’t learn; they buy credentials. The result is a society of compliance, not self-sufficiency.

Modern society sells death in disguise. Alcohol as celebration when it’s sedation. Processed food as convenience when it’s corrosion. Screen addiction as connection when it’s alienation. Comfort as luxury when it’s stagnation. Spectatorship as leisure when it’s decay.
