The Trick Chaos Magicians Use To Shut Up Their Own Doubt

Empire of One — Four bucks for the whole shape of running this alone, no funnel diagrams, no promise you’ll ten-x by Q3. Own the niche. Build the list instead of renting it. Keep the money math honest, because the aspirational kind is how gurus make their boat payment. For the crowd planning on staying a crowd of one.

Who’s Tracking You? Use This New Service to Find Out — A new tool called DecryptAds reads the ad-disclosure files every site and app is legally required to publish and turns them into a plain list of who’s watching you, sanctioned countries and shady exchanges included. Neat tool. The actual fix was sitting there the whole time: a real ad blocker, or a Pi-hole on a spare Raspberry Pi if you want the whole house covered at once.

THE TIP. Chaos magick borrows a trick from sprinters for getting a working past the part of your brain that argues with everything. It’s called gnosis by exhaustion. Do something that spikes your heart rate hard for a solid two minutes, jumping jacks, stair sprints, a heavy bag, whatever you’ve got, and push until your legs are done arguing back. Right there, at the exact second thought gets too expensive to keep running, is where you say the words, burn the sigil, do the working. It’s not mystical. Your analytical mind is the thing that keeps a spell honest and skeptical, which is usually good, except when you need it to shut up for ten seconds. Exhaustion does that job cheaper than a decade of meditation and faster than a substance. Spare had this worked out a hundred years before anybody started calling it gnosis. I use it more than I’ll admit to. I call it cardio with a purpose. Do it outside if the neighbors already think you’re strange. Saves you from explaining the sigil.

Your neighbors already think you’re weird. Might as well earn it. ~ J.D.
