With the caveat that I haven't been to therapy, and hence don't know the full details of the particular subject of this thread, that is exactly what I don't like in Bitcoin circles. While there are many, probably even a decent majority, of reasonable bitcoiners, there seems to be a disproportionately large portion of people with Tate-ish opinions (regarding a certain few subjects), compared to people in general. I even see it (or perhaps I should say hear it) radicalizing certain podcasters over time, them becoming more and more hateful towards people not sharing the Ideals(TM). This itself can't be good for their own mental health, and if there's anything we don't need in the Bitcoin community, its division over matters that are irrelevant to Bitcoin and its future.

So glad I have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe cull your “feed”. More signal. Less noise. What you give your attention to is YOUR choice. No one else’s.

Becoming self sovereign is about far more than Bitcoin. 👁️🪬💓🧬

Living in la-la-land isn't good either. Then reality has a tendency to, seemingly but actually not, suddenly, punch you in the face.

There is no objective “reality”. Yours is yours. Mine is mine. And WE are creating and re-creating it in every moment. You can verify this for yourself if you slow the mind enough.

Of course there's an objective reality, though no human, and no AI either for that matter, is able to see its entirety. However, you can see an approximation in some level of fidelity, and aspects of reality can make themselves known in unpleasant ways if you ignore them. If you walk with your eyes closed, the wall in front of you doesn't cease to exist, you will hit it.

You are free to “believe” what you choose. But the science is pretty settled. Just as the yogis and sages have been saying for millennia….

Beyond this, the recent work of Donald Hoffman is quite…..en-light-ening 👁️

Be well brother 🙏🏻

From what I understand, such phenomena are pretty much inconsequential at normal scales, temperatures and pressures, and not affected by consciousness per se, but by measuring, which can't be done without disturbing the tiny particles/waves in question. I'll continue keeping my eyes open when walking...
