Techno-Monk Lifestyle the Pavel Durov's Way

Behind the glitz and glamour of Telegram's billionaire status lies an extremely ascetic and disciplined lifestyle. This episode explores Pavel Durov's philosophy of "strategic subtraction"—a radical rejection of alcohol, caffeine, and even material comforts in order to maintain unwavering cognitive clarity. Durov offers a blueprint for anyone seeking self-sovereignty in an era of global surveillance. He proves that true power comes not from amassing wealth, but from personal autonomy and privacy fiercely guarded from corporate and government influence. This is the story of letting go of everything to gain complete control of oneself in a noisy digital world.
