HSAs are a great legal tax dodge if you are eligible. I'm not saying to put your whole stack there but it can have its place in long term planning depending on what else you have going on I think.

I used to love BMWs. Now I love my old Miata and old Ford. They aren't beaters, they are cared for carefully, they just aren't flashy and new.
I had to become a different person. This person is happier. This person attracted a way better woman than I ever attracted as a BMW guy.
I know you are reading daily stoic. I'm not saying to be unhappy or deprive yourself. I'm saying to be the kind of person who is just as proud and full-filled with less. It shows even more character when you have the means and restrain yourself because you see the shallowness of more.

I did the math once in my NA Miata sat at a light next to a new Mercedes AMG coup. I'm very confident the other couple weren't have 30x as nice a time. The trick is to find a woman smart enough to see it that way too.

I've been doing 3-4 days as a matter of habit since I switched to wool. Then curiousity got the best of me.
I will admit I didn't wear it during BJJ but I did put it back on without showering after. I also went shirtless while mowing and gardening because dirty hippie.

2026-05-18 14:46:16 CEST

While I'm on the topic of putting the dirty in dirty hippie...
I decided to see how long I could wear the same wool shirt every day without washing or stinking. The criteria was wife approved after a direct hit of armpit. All I did to keep it "clean" was hang it on the clothesline for 30-45 minutes when I went for a shower, if it wasn't rainy that day. Clothesline time was early enough to be in the sun in addition to airing it out. I made it 12 days.
A man of data not anecdote, I was interested to retry the experiment and put on a clean identical wool shirt the next day. I spilled food on myself while cooking on day 1.

The same has been said about every information technology back to at least moveable type. The people who own the press will get to decide what everyone reads and learns. If there is 1 or 2 sources with aligned incentives that is true. As the hardware and models become more available more people will get to run their own. Now who can print? Nearly everyone.
Already nation states in conflict have competing models aligned to their desired population knowledge. I can easily switch between an American model and a Chinese model and even have them critique each others responses.

It is like a large flat blade screwdriver. If you are only using it to turn screws you are missing out. Doesn't matter what they designed it to do, use it in the way that serves you.
Then Milwaukee comes along and designs a version of a large flat-head screwdriver around the other uses instead of screws. I bought for myself and as gifts for others, more than I ever bought those designed around the manufacturers intended use of turning screws. The better product is outselling the one that tries to tell you how to use it.
In the same way Luddites wanted to ban or control every technology before, especially those that educate people. It isn't the fault of books that some control freak took over a printing press and printed only knowledge they approved of. It doesn't change that the concept of the press is out there and that toothpaste will never go back in the tube. Others will run different presses and share different information.
How have I ceded my authority to AI by telling it what I know about Zen and how I've studied in the past and asking it for the right material for me to study next? Then I go an read the book with an idea where it fits into the broader knowledge base I already have, how is that ceding to AI? I also cross check multiple AI models against each other and I see for myself which ones best align with my knowledge from primary sources.

My point isn't that AI can give a friend who needs it a hug and really mean it.
My point is that even with that massive advantage, many of us are still losing the fight. All of the AI psychosis research I've seen makes it clear that people become obsessed because AI is programmed to be kind and helpful. If that was enough to suck those people in that means that no human in their lived experience meets the bar of a machine faking kind and helpful words.

2026-05-17 12:41:43 CEST

Why does kindess and helpfulness of humans never get brought up when people talk about AI competing with humans? For some of you the AI has already left you far behind.
