After sending yesterday’s letter a slew of people signed up to The Stoa’s Patreon account to give support. That feels good. I received one message via Patreon that I have been reflecting on: Go all in!
Yeah. Why not? Go all in. But who goes all in anymore?
Seeing that comment made me realize I do not go all in. I have an exit plan. My eyes are on the escape hatch. I have a plan b, and c, and d...
This is wise, right?
Maybe it is not wise. How do you measure wisdom? Nobody has told me yet. Show me the fucking formula already.
There is this psychic drag in having too many options. Too many possibilities. There is something clarifying about going all in. There is something purifying about it. The daemon has been saying to me “fuck bro, get back in the metagame.” You are so right man. I will surrender. To the vision that I never owned. To the truth of what is and what ought to be.
There is no surrender without risk. I will risk...
Failing publicly.
Appearing and sounding like an idiot.
Being seduced by hotties with issues.
Being cringeworthy, with an overt sincerity.
My sanity, again.
I have too much thumos not to go all in. I sense that big swinging daemon energy is on the horizon. Who goes all in anymore? This Stoic, that is who.
