Screw the Middleman
Notice this. When did simply living your life start requiring so many passwords, approvals, apps, updates, subscriptions, algorithms and people standing between you and the thing you're trying to do?
My Jamaican mother taught me something I found annoying as a kid: if we could learn to do something ourselves, she expected us to figure it out. She motivated us very aggressively. I did not appreciate the University of Figure That Shit Out at the time, but I understand it now.
Screw the Middleman is about rebuilding that everyday self-trust. Computers used to feel like machines we operated. Now they announce when they are updating. Even paying for groceries can feel like waiting for the machine to say APPROVED so you can use your own damn money.
Inside are 15 real-world Middleman Resets plus a Middleman Reality Check. Cook something from scratch. Understand one piece of your money. Create before consuming. Solve one small problem before immediately opening an app. Ask for help when you need it—but don't outsource your entire freaking brain.
This is not anti-technology, anti-bank, anti-expert or anti-help. Some middlemen are useful. I do not need to become my own plumber at two in the morning. The point is simpler: use the middleman when the middleman serves you.
Every time you do something from beginning to end, you remind yourself: I am capable of directing part of my own life.
