Ancient Rome.
Fuck knows BC
elites… drowning in pleasure.
What do I mean downing in pleasure? I mean exactly what I said.
Back in ancient Rome, the elites would use lead-based sweeting that only they could get their hands on.
This caused them to become incredibly stupid (literally lead posing)
And since they were the ones steering the boat on Rome, they effectively drowned themselves in pleasure.
Stupid right?
No.
That right there, is basic human psychology.
Ever since we got our hands on advanced tools, we’ve basically been drowning ourselves without knowing it one way or another.
Take outreach example:
Ever corrected someone on their copy just to sound like an ass insulting someone else’s work?
Or hopped on a sales call with no notes? (or worse, reading off a script?)
There’s tons of little things everyone does throught the day that’s basically rising the water level. Slowly.
And not today… or tomorrow… or next month.
But eventually, you’ll be in a box with water full to your head wondering why you can’t breathe.
It’s what happened to Rome.
It’s what will happen to you if you don’t do something about it.
What something?
Something that will be revealed tomorrow because I’m too lazy to come up with an answer right now.
Or is that secretly the answer?
Who knows.

What investment is rudimentary for billionaires but ‘revolutionary’ for 70,571+ investors entering 2026?
Imagine this. You open your phone to an alert. It says, “you spent $236,000,000 more this month than you did last month.”
If you were the top bidder at Sotheby’s fall auctions, it could be reality.
Sounds crazy, right? But when the ultra-wealthy spend staggering amounts on blue-chip art, it’s not just for decoration.
The scarcity of these treasured artworks has helped drive their prices, in exceptional cases, to thin-air heights, without moving in lockstep with other asset classes.
The contemporary and post war segments have even outpaced the S&P 500 overall since 1995.*
Now, over 70,000 people have invested $1.2 billion+ across 500 iconic artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.
How? You don’t need Medici money to invest in multimillion dollar artworks with Masterworks.
Thousands of members have gotten annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% from 26 sales to date.
