GM & PV #nostr 🌞☕️

The amount of people that have said “wow, I’m surprised you had nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs and nostr:npub1hk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqvv20pf on nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld" is exactly the problem I’m trying to fix.

I want to run a show where a wide variety of guests, topics, and ideologies are covered! Whether people assume they know me because I’m “from the left” or whether they want what I do to be some sort of echo-chamber in its own way, I reject that. I will not be a part of perpetuating that problem.

We are all just people hoping and fighting for a better tomorrow 🫂💜

The left/right paradigm and polarization is dead. Those in power just want you to think it still exists. No nuance, no focus on truth, rationality, or mutual respect and human dignity. This doesn’t mean we all agree on everything, but that we should have an ability to see the humanity in one another and live in harmony.

There is but one philosophy I try to live by and that’s Ubuntu: I am because we are. My humanity is inextricably wrapped up in yours, so let’s promote harmony and peace for all humanity and life on earth. The way you do that is a starting with yourself, each and every day.

ever interview a Georgist bitcoiner? I'm sure they're out there. tend to cross the political spectrum. it'd be interesting to get their perspective.

as most taxes are on human effort, they tend to be regressive. yet a single tax on land only, as proposed by Henry George in 1879, is not. it reduces land speculation and landlord profits. it'd also likely make local politicians more accountable and aligned with their constituents.

many modern YIMBYs are its spiritual successors.

it occurs to me, it's also the one tax that cannot be easily avoided one way or another with Bitcoin, which is pretty unique.

sooner or later this'll occur to our politicians too. probably after doubling down on all the shit they've tried before that we know doesn't work.
