Not Every Human Interaction Has to Be a Deal.

Well, that’s not into what American society has evolved.

Life in America today: you are a brand. You are to sell your brand, and protect your brand.

Youtube, Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter… whatever social media outlet can be used is to be used for your brand.

Every interaction in your life is a transaction. All your possessions are for transactions - your cat, your dog, your face…

Your associates and relatives are assets to be used in your brand promotion.

You are what your bank account and Bitcoin numbers say you are.

Either you are going up on the Forbes list, or you are going down.

Your value to others is your transaction ability. All deals are good, some are just better than others.

Your follower list is your method by which to evaluate your place on this planet.

Your credit score is important but it is also manipulatable.

Your looks matter. Beauty may be subjective, but you can always package your looks to benefit yourself in transactions.

But above all, remember that it’s not truth that matters, but your ability to sell yourself.
