PART 3: Author’s Objective:
VISION
To illustrate what is possible when your life is free from
SCRIPTED
expectations, and how to start crafting your own
vision of that existence.

CHAPTER 13
THE UNSCRIPTED LIFE:
“FUCK YOU”
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having
few wants.
~ Epictetus, Philosopher
DESCRIBING INDESCRIBABLE: THE 5 “FUCK YOU” FREEDOMS
I
n Hollywood’s 
The Matrix
, the world is fooled by a neural simulation while
carnivorous machines feed on our life force. Similarly in our world, government
feeds on our economic output, our consumptive impetuses, and our consensus
ignorance. Corporations play the foot soldiers, herding the unwashed into the
machine’s mouth while the hyperrealities keep us entertained and distracted.
Hopefully your blinders are off and you see the paradigm of compliance.
Hopefully you’re awake and now know that you’ve been sold a bullshit story by a
bunch of bullshitters whose only goal is to keep you knee-deep in bullshit. And
unlike a fictional movie, cleansing yourself from the bullshit isn’t as easy as
swallowing a red pill. You can’t stop using money, paying your taxes, or
interacting with a hyperdistracted world. The good news, however, is that the
SCRIPT
has an escape through 
UNSCRIPTION
—a life-changing subset of
thought and action underwritten by entrepreneurship.
What can 
UNSCRIPTED
do for you? Tough question. Word-smithing an
UNSCRIPTED
existence free from 
M.O.D.E.L. Citizenship
is like trying to
capture the “oohs and ahhs” of the Grand Canyon with a late-seventies Polaroid.
Like a near-death experience, words cannot accurately express 
UNSCRIPTION
.

All I can do is paint a picture from my experience, and hope you can use it to
craft a vision for yourself.
As for that picture, I suppose now would be a good time for me to
shamelessly brag about all my “stuff”—you know, the garage full of European
supercars, the imported exotic Ming Dynasty vases, and my haute couture
wardrobe complete with leather-embroidered dragons and silken flaming
swords. Oh, and let’s not forget my favorite gadget: my wifi-enabled refrigerator
with an authentic Monet embedded in the door.
But you know what? I won’t do any such thing. You see, I don’t own any of
this crap. The truth is, 
UNSCRIPTED
is about what you don’t have versus what
you do have.
UNSCRIPTED
is self-actualized freedom by exclusion and excommunication.
Don’t confuse this with minimalism or being a waitstaff-stiffing cheapskate.
UNSCRIPTED
entrepreneurs live well by choice, not by necessity. “Well” is
whatever you want, whether Teslas are preferred over Toyotas or Ferraris over
Fords. I’m not here to define your fulfillment picture. I won’t tell you that you
need $100 million or $1 million to make it happen. My happiness is not yours.
I’m only here to give you the blueprint for making it happen, and making it
happen as fast as possible.
With that said, if I had to paint 
UNSCRIPTED
with one color, it would be the
color of “fuck you.” Yup, fuck you.
Being charged an arm and leg for a mortgage? Fuck you. I’ll pay cash.
Need to work next weekend and miss the kid’s playoff game? Fuck you. I
quit.
Stock market sinking and threatening retirement? Fuck you. The stock
market doesn’t fund my retirement.
Can’t go on vacation until someone gives permission? Fuck you. I leave
tomorrow.
Can’t wear that cool outfit on casual Fridays? Fuck you. I’m wearing only
underwear all day.
Don’t like how your kids are being educated? Fuck you and your school. I’m
homeschooling my kid.
Don’t like your annual 2 percent pay raise? Fuck you. I’ll make 200 percent
more next year.
As “fuck you” implies, 
UNSCRIPTED
is about pure, unadulterated life and
liberty. Life means owning your time and thoughts while curating your existence.

It is not just to be, but to become.
The “fuck you” of liberty has five primary
freedoms. They are:
1.
Freedom from work
2.
Freedom from scarcity and fiscal constraint
3.
Freedom from hyperrealistic influence
4.
Freedom from hope and dependence
5.
Freedom from ordinary and routine
#1) FREEDOM FROM WORK
I successfully executed an 
UNSCRIPTED
plan in multiple instances, and
hence, I don’t need to work another day in my life. Indentured time has been
eliminated. I don’t need to write books, start another company, or wake up by
force every weekday morning. Theoretically, I retired nearly thirty-five years
early. Still, every day is payday. Every day is Saturday. Every day is owned—every
second and every hour are mine. Fundamentally, I am as rich in time as Bill
Gates or any other billionaire.
You see, to be free from the necessity of work is like releasing a caged bird
and unleashing the world as your playground. This liberation opens you to
experimentation. Spontaneity. Clarity of action and purpose without fiscal
measurement, interference, or influence. In other words, my life’s work honors
my soul, not some third-party “thought leader” in a position of authority.
Take this book, for instance. What do you think crucifying the trillion-dollar
financial industry will do to my book sales? I’ll make an educated guess that no
one in the financial world would dare recommend 
UNSCRIPTED
, let alone
review it favorably. You see, if book sales (or money) were my driving influence
as an author, I’d tell you that the best investment is a 401(k) and a Vanguard
mutual fund. I’d tell you MLM is the best business model and everyone should
do it. One opinion is the voice of necessity, a compromised integrity in lieu of
putting Benzes in the garage, and the other is the voice of 
UNSCRIPTED
.
And yet I still work. Why? Because it’s a part of my life’s meaning and
purpose. Because it’s my choice and not a force-fed exhibition, work rarely feels
like work. Yeah, it’s fun. And get this…I still earn a full-time CEO salary for a
