The philosophy of enlightened self-interest.

- A thread
One of my favorite post-graduate classes was a philosophy course taught by Dr. Betty Winfield.

It started with the greeks (Socrates, Plato), moved to Europe (Descartes, Mill), and finally settled in America (Dewey, Thoreau) but my favorite concept was enlightened self-interest.
The philosophy of enlightened self-interest states that persons who act to further the interests of the group or society ultimately serve their own self-interest.

If someone works for the group, it eventually benefits that person.

I just finished an interview where I said I would encourage every woman who is experiencing physically abused to get a divorce and the other panelists looked at me as if I had gone crazy.

Do you guys think it's ok to stay in a marriage where your "husband" beats up on you?
I am clear about this:

If a "husband" beats my daughter.

I will personally pack her bag, buy her a new house, and hire/pay for a divorce lawyer.

There is no basis for physical abuse in my world.
What if your colleague (at work) does the same thing your wife did/does, would you beat her in the office?

You would exercise restraint so that you don't lose your job, right?

Why can't you do the same with the mother of your children?

I know a preacher who never became wealthy, died young (aged 33), and only had a few hardcore disciples.

What a failure, right?

Nope. He started a global movement that now has almost 4 billion adherents.

Jesus would be considered a failure in today's prosperity gospel movement
That's why this 21st-century doctrine that makes wealth a proxy for faith is so flawed.

Nobody would call Jesus a rich man. He needed a miracle just to pay his taxes.

But all of a sudden, nobody has faith unless they have money?

What nonsense!
They will twist a few scriptures to claim that a man who needed to borrow a donkey to travel a few miles to Jerusalem was some low-key Jeff Bezos.

This doctrine that makes faith and offerings the way to wealth needs to die because it's a lie.

Seek first the kingdom - Matt 6:33

For Africans, buy land outside Lagos, Accra, Joburg, Nairobi etc.

Rural land = cheap wealth.
1 acre = $200 in many of these places.

What will I do with 1 acre?

Well, you'll never know until you own 1 acre.
I am bullish on Agriculture so...

Kanye's land is in Wyoming btw. Mine is in Ogbomosho.

A good friend just bought 5,000 acres in Igbeti for the price of one house in Victoria Island, Lagos.

That's the magic of rural land.

Drop your prediction(s) below.
One more thing about the new football season:

Please don't bet; not even for fun.

Your betting money sustains the most destructive business model in the history of Africa.

Sports betting is actively destroying communities across Africa: please don't sustain it with your money
For more context about sports betting, please read the thread below:

The madhouse called "Forex Trading."

- A thread.
1/ Early this year, a young man walked into my office at @Overwoodng and offered to "help" us make 5% per month on all the investments in our portfolio.

I did the math and saw that our $1m will quickly become $1bn in 15 years at 60% per annum from this gentleman.

What a deal!
2/ So I asked him about the underlying asset.

He said Forex Trading.

I asked him about the underlying value he is creating.

He said "nothing". We are just trading currency.

I asked him about his track record.

He said he has made 7.5% per month for the past two years.
