I am in a small box with nothing to do but train.

After the time my Dad fought three men, he would regularly say: “My unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor.” The premise is simple, if you PAY ATTENTION and NEVER QUIT, you are dangerous in ALL realms. So let me ask you a question, “Do you accept the world is different now than it was in 1999?” If the answer is yes (it better be), then you must accept the world changed between 1999 and 2026. A smaller change. But a change nonetheless. It is a combination of incremental changes year after year that has made the world such a vastly different place over time. If you accept that the year 2050 will be different from the year 2026, then you must accept that this year will be different from the last year, just at a smaller scale. This is where PERSPICACITY pays dividends. The changes are smaller, and you must pay more attention, but THEY ARE THERE. And if you notice them before they are glaringly obvious enough for the peasants to notice, you gain a massive competitive advantage. THIS IS HOW YOU WIN. The question is, “What will you do about it?” Will you take massive action on the tiny changes in the world to enjoy monumental success? Or will you sit around and wait for the changes in the world to be so glaringly obvious that there is no opportunity left to profit? Some say, “The early bird catches the worm.” Tate says: “My unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor.” This was my Dad’s eternal lesson.

My food trays now come half full and stone cold. FDC Miami is punishing me for my speech.

“Segregation, isolation, separation, cellular, lockdown, Supermax, the hole, Secure Housing Unit (SHU)… whatever the name, solitary confinement should be banned by States as a punishment or extortion technique,” said the United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture, Juan E. Méndez, to the UN General Assembly.

The System is brutal and unrelenting, but innocent men do get their moment of glory in the end.

For most people, injustice remains a distant abstract concept - a background noise - a problem in someone else’s life, until the system suddenly turns its weight against them. We navigate the world assuming fairness is the default, Ignoring the struggles of others becomes comfort which breeds indifference.
