I find it interesting that people are always talking to the "normies" and saying we need to simplify things for the "normies" and we need to make things so they appeal to the "normies". What a egotistical and self righteous view!!!

By "normie" they mean that you're less intelligent than they are, and they need to dumb things down for you. It mean's they're more enlightened than you, and need to treat you like a child and 'simplify' things, as if you're a simpleton that needs to be spoon fed your bite sizes pieces of slop. Fuck that!

You know why I don't appeal to the "normie"? I don't believe in them. I believe there are people that are willing to learn and those that aren't. I want to empower people, not enable them. I don't want them reliant on me, I don't want to cut up their food and feed it to them, I want to teach them to hunt and skin and sow and reap and prepare their own food. I want to teach them that they are powerful people that don't need to rely on others to spoon feed them simplistic bullshit that keeps them enslaved to the cult of convenience. I don't build for the "normie" because you're better than that, and you deserve better than to be treated like an imbecile that needs their hand held every step of the way.

You don't need a podcast host, you don't need a video host, you don't need a music host. They've got you tricked into believing you're a dumbass that needs to pay them to do something as simple as dragging some files into a folder. And make no mistake, when you host your stuff on another platform, it doesn't matter what the hype is today, they don't give a fuck about you and will remove your content if it affects their bottom line. Any of this talk about freedom but you need to use their service is marketing and appealing to your desire to finally find a safe place for your content without the risk of it being removed.

What we do isn't hard, it's just new to you, and what one man can do, another man can do. Don't jump into the easy solutions for hosting your digital content, you're better than that, and you have a real opportunity to actually take control of your art and control the means of distribution, and you don't need to rely on another platform anymore. You are the platform, if you want to be. If this appeals to you, reach out. There's a whole crew of dedicated freedom fighters ready to cheer you on, help you build, and support your work, because we know that once you taste true freedom, you'll never go back.

No normie is going to read this novel you just posted. I didn't. Not for lack of intelligence but I don't know you and not sure if there's any benefit in investing the time. The same applies to normies on other topics. Can you make them get or better see/feel the benefit in simple terms, without the convoluted condescending explainer??

Like I said, I don’t believe in “normies”, I believe in lazy assholes who want to be spoon fed everything, but you would’ve known that if you put in the work. You’re not my target audience.

Ok, that's for bitcoin, nostr or libertarianism.

Now do nuclear energy, aircraft engineering, pizza dough, making a wooden chair....

Everyone is a lazy asshole on 99.99% of topics covering human knowledge and craft or technology. You just happen to focus on the 0.01% that you believe matter.

Not everyone should care about the things you do.

I've done nuclear energy, pizza dough, and making a wooden chair. I should try aircraft engineering.
