Awesome. #lkie Where are you now?
Padua - near Venice :)
Venice was cool. Had everything you hear about. Was also overpriced and packed with tourists. I got more enjoyment out of the aggressive gondala sales pitches and anti-tourist graffiti more than anything else.

**Don't You (Forget About WOD)** I find myself in the Venice Marco Polo Airport at 1AM. My next bus is at 4AM. Perfect time for a comfort challenge and workout. https://youtu.be/OHrgZ_0hxl4

Grateful. I am one lucky guy. Young. Healthy. Very driven. Born in one of the wealthiest & most equal countries on Earth. Blessed with dyspraxia & ADHD forcing me to take an alternative route to school/uni. Living at my edge. Encountered Stoicism and entreprenuership during my formative years. Male, which despite cultural advances is still a massive advantage for a solo travel.

It pays to have a good look around the airport. I was stuck for 7 hours before but managed to find a couple of leather sofas right at the back of the building and with plenty of sockets. Nothing was open but at least it was comfortable & I had wifi and power!

Travel tips: On a long international flight with multiple stops, never make the last hop a short one. It's the most likely to get canceled and you'll be stuck, feeling like shit, not having slept in 30+ hours. Make sure the last hop is a money maker for the airline.
I got that sorted for Brazil.

Milan was the best airport to sleep at. Athens they woke everyone up and wouldn’t let anyone lie down. I slept in front of checkin on the floor in San Diego. Fun times.
Made it. Making the most of it.

I enjoy reading as you delineate exactly what you're thinking. I can't argue that money represents value - that's something like it's functional definition. It's also a much more palatable claim than we started with. :-)
And likewise, appreciate your well explained posts

When I said money is a representation of effort I mean that I see it as a naturally occuring invention between people, used to organise effort. I build your house today you give me an IOU note. In that sense it's moral and good for all of us to acquire as much ws we can, because with more IOUs comes more ability to organise effort for good ends.
But, I haven't studied history or economics.
Replying to @CallMeGwei (0xb55b216d4c54b2b97dccd70b74f6d0a9d0191050)
I guess, philosophically, I'm more inclined to attribute value to active vs passive activities. I'm also more inclined to weigh things like intentions and means rather than lettings ends determine if a life was well spent or valuable. Re: belief needed to change someone's situation... ever met an _actual_ lottery winner? In my own experience and years of observation, luck plays a huge part in changing anyone's situation. (Not to say ambition doesn't matter in some respects or that it doesn't help you stay sane until you get lucky [or die]).
I like the Stoic approach. Luck is vague and uncontrollable. Mindset and the responsibility/ownership you take of your situation is, in most cases, within your power. So it's worth disregarding luck.
I also think none of it matters in the end - ego achievements, intentions, wealth, impact, nothing. Doesn't stop me wanting/having them as a human though.
Grateful for my Sicilian friends' generosity. They took me out last night and gave me an parting gift - that was completely unexpected on it's own - and not just a small gift, a new smartphone.
I'm going to miss this country.
Yeet. Looks like I'm sleeping at the airport. #ADVENTURE

**Money != effort** As an unbounded philosophy of money - that's dangerous, imho. The person digging for a new road with a machine isn't putting out as much _effort_ as the dozen men doing it by hand on the other side of the world. The citizens of a collapsing economy aren't generally putting out less effort... global economies can collapse because of politics. Wealth vanishes. Now, maybe if you're using this a measuring stick for people born into the same economies, at the same point in time, and with similar opportunities presented to them...
The effort doesn't matter in those examples. The road still gets built.
I'm not saying that money = effort. It's intangible, risky, and the stuff we're using right now is constantly inflating. Cryptos might get hacked in the future.
But I am saying that it represents value. I don't give it a moral aspect, it's neutral. However, there are moral benefits - we live in a much better society today than 100 yrs ago.
Replying to @CallMeGwei (0xb55b216d4c54b2b97dccd70b74f6d0a9d0191050)
If you start to equate effort and ability to create value to monetary wealth, how can you respect those without assets? Will there be a temptation there for you to attribute the lack of wealth to some lack of ambition, ingenuity, or ability to be creative? How could that go wrong? Since I know you're a fan of Bitcoin: if someone put $100 in Bitcoin and held on to it until they died in a hundred years. Would they have created more value in the world than someone who worked at a nursing home for minimum wage for the same length of time?
I do lean on the side of view that we're responsible for & able to change our situations, even though that isn't always true. Why? That belief is needed in order for anyone to change their situation.
Regarding Bitcoin, it depends how much it's worth in 100 years. Potentially yes.

If we ever meet face-to-face I'll tell you a bunch of true stories that involve people making tons of money and adding _zero_ value to anyone's life.
Well yes, con artists exist, and the amount of fraudulent/rent-seeking income as a percentage of total income in the economy is probably higher than anyone would like to admit. But money is still neutral proof that you add value. At it's core it's an expression of effort, of owing someone something. Even the money a scammer earns is proof that people believe(d) the scammer would add value to their lives.

Why doing something good for society always comes with “less compensation” mindset? Does this idea apply to your culture? How can we break this?
We shouldn't 'break' anything that people are currently earning money for. Wealth is not a zero sum game. It's better to focus on helping people rise up social strata IMO

I'm not sure I agree, many of the highest earners are great people. By and large wealthy people are smart, helpful to others, and improve society. I like @sivers perspective on this: "Money is neutral proof you’re adding value to people’s lives."
#JavaScript did-you-know of the week - the urnary operator. By adding a + sign before a String, it will be converted into a number if it follows the right format.
e.g. ``` (+variable).toLocaleString('en', {useGrouping:true})``` where variable = "12345" will result in "12,345"

I've found that useful too. This helps me step back: ask myself what I wish I'd already been doing consistently for the past year (say, vlogging, burpees, etc). "past Bevan" is an easy person to foist a burden onto. The idea is to then start doing that task. Simply asking "what's best for me" works too but can lead to rationalization.
Mmh, that's interesting.
I recommend the "what would you recommend 30yo/40yo/50yo Bevan?" too. You come up with surprising ideas.
I'm going to think about that one you suggested now... Got it.
I wish I had been consistently:
- working out,
- using a schedule,
- buying Bitcoin,
- taking more chances socially (e.g. introducing myself to random people, making risky jokes, flirting w/ pretty girls)
- cleaning my room
I have great friends. They don't give a damn when I say something like "I sent you the tickets right? Just in case I get hit by a bus, so you can still go to X"

You'd state a goal and a completion date, and enter names/emails of people who'd be notified on that date. That email would be sent no matter what- unless you paid to have it retracted (you'd set the amount when you register). It wasn't a commercial success but a few people used it.

The barge trip from Kisangani to Kinshasa would be an adventure. Going overland to Lubumbashi would also be epic, but the Chinese are now paving that route so better go soon :)
True... only so much time to see "untouched" landscapes and make risky journeys before it all gets developed... funny you mention about the Chinese too, it reminds me of a quote I recently heard - "Africa is becoming China's China"
Kisangani looks epic! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kisangani
