Things You Should Know

An attempt to write down the things worth knowing — about philosophy, money, work, and the way the world actually operates. Not a lecture. A letter from a father to a son.

• The ideas that matter most: consent is freedom, happiness is progress, there are no solutions — only trade-offs
• Cuts across career, money, survival, and the hard truths that don’t get taught in school
• Written as advice to a son, but meant for anyone willing to question what they’ve been told

Nothing here is original. The things worth knowing rarely are. The value is in having them collected, tested, and written down in one place.
