Unscripted: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship pdfdrive com

Under temporal prostitution, the things you buy cost more than just money—they
cost future fragments of your life, transforming FREE time into INDENTURED time.
Consider this: Two lives, Bob and MJ, each equally granted seventy-five years
of life. Both get the standard twenty-four-hour day. The difference between the
two is how time is honored or dishonored. Bob invests his life’s work in a system
where time is prostituted. He experiences sixty-three years of indentured time
while enjoying only twelve years of free time: three health-challenged years after
retirement and nine years in his lazy youth. He never writes that book he
dreamed of. He never scuba dives in the Caribbean because his cardiologist
recommended against it. He never took that two-month Mediterranean cruise.
He never watched his son win the lacrosse championship. Never, never, and
never. But hey, don’t worry—he’s saved quite the portfolio and was featured on
Business Insider’s front page as a model for portfolio wealth; never mind that he
destroyed one wealth in pursuit of another. Live poor and die rich. It’s
SCRIPT
ably diabolical.
MJ, on the other hand, invests his life’s work in a system that honors time.
He experiences twenty-three indentured years while enjoying a whopping forty-
two years of free time, mostly experienced after he retired in his thirties. “Never”
is not in his vocabulary, but “when,” “where,” and “how” are.
Who do you think will have lived a life rich in experiences: friendship, art,
travel, contribution, and spiritual fulfillment? When the life rations drip their last
drip and the death clock taps the grim reaper on the shoulder, what will your
human spirit resonate—regret, or peace?

Temporal prostitution is the path to the dark side, and it doesn’t require a
throaty mask—but it does have an evil emperor. Allow the 
SCRIPT
to write the
rules and you’ll accept the worst trade mankind has ever foisted on intelligent
beings: the horrendous “sell good time today so you can buy bad time
tomorrow,” where 71 percent of your adult life is routinely dismissed in favor of
an elderly promise called retirement.
OMFG!
And people lap this crap up like it’s raining lottery tickets during a prosperity
gospel. Only temporal prostitution perfected by the 
SCRIPTED
OS can lipstick
the worst travesty of humankind and make it as routine as a daily shower.
The average lifespan consists of 2.3 billion seconds. The average currency value
traded per HOUR is $220 billion, nearly 11,000% more. Time is scarce, money is not.

CHAPTER 10
THE LIFE PATHS: TWO DOORS, ONE SLAUGHTERHOUSE, NO DIFFERENCE
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being
overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often,
and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the
privilege of owning yourself.
