Everyone is sharing the worldcoin video, but I won't.

Look. Not everyone is going to make it. The point made by 1984 is the same point made by Ordinary Men: most people will love the regime. Most people will do anything to comply, to not stick out, to do what everyone else doesโ€”no matter how ridiculous.

The solution is deceivingly simple: don't try to change other people. Focus on yourself and how you spend your time.

Opt out. Don't feed the beast. Concentrate your time, energy, and attention on the alternatives represented by #bitcoin and #nostr. Become as resilient as you can. Become un-ruggable. Ignore the noise.

Amazing take. Thanks

Does anyone have any thoughts on bitheat? Specifically the company and personnel? I'm tented but i want to know a little more about the project before I throw any money at something with a long lead time to delivery.

100%

the only thing more scarce than bitcoin is your time/attention (same thing)

don't squander it

Thank you.

Agree. I was once forced to live in a disgusting regime (fuck communism!). Of course I never loved it. Sure I'll never feed the beast.

Of course, Winston didnโ€™t make it ๐Ÿ˜ณ โ€œBut it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himselfโ€ฆhe loved big brotherโ€

Yeah I get that itโ€™s stupid that it all came back, but that thing is the dumbest project imaginable. As much as I wonโ€™t to rag on how stupid it is, I am not as concerned as a lot of people seem to be.

Never underestimate the power of stupid...

"Un-ruggable" Love it.

correct Gigi. I've found more peace this past year or so focussing on myself and those around me. it's enough

Well after watching that video I would say that *most* are not going to make it

"You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."...Morpheus... pay attention and stop looking at e-thots in red Neo!

I think the issue is that humans differentiate and join tribes. We saw how far tribalism took half the country when they were pushing to lock up people that didn't vax, get a vax card, or did their own research. They actively avoided any opinions that were not provides by their masters....yep 2+2=5

But as you say exit the system. I started on that path in 2008 and it's been great.

I give exactly zero fucks to share any of my mental bandwidth with the next WEF shitcoin. Wonโ€™t post or repost a thing about it nor will I type itโ€™s name. If you or anyone you know does, we are NOT alike.

Just wish I could take more friends & family with me. Time will tell. Those who can't be bothered to learn are not worth to drain your energy. There are people out here with similar #values

Maybe we also need more hardship in life to filter out who's worth his salt and who is not. Its easier to tell, who the cowards are when the barbarians are at the gate and your little village has to fend for themselves.

This easy life makes it possible that noone, not even oneself gets put to the test enough or regularly. Thats convinient, but the price is to find out when something bad happens that noone can ignore.

Like a war or a pandemic...

And one painful part is to learn how to deal with loved ones who turned to the dark side๐Ÿ˜…

Sadly true... thanks

Present a viable, positive alternative. Ignoring is the best strategy.

Propagating people lining up to the slaughter house actually works as an advertisment to the slaughter house.

But it sure is tempting to virtue signal and call out the beast... I do it too.

Agreed!

Iโ€™ve noticed that the middle ground where youโ€™ve studied #bitcoin enough to lift the financial iron curtain and instead of just accepting that your knowledge is going to make you and oddball you resist and try to force a paradigm shift on others.

To resist takes up precious energy best to go further down the rabbit hole and find/build a new world.

The paradigm shift will come as they see #bitcoin build a world that they wish they were in. Be the change!

As weird as it might sound, I woke up today having exactly the same conclusion. Lead by example and do not impose anymore. I do my thing and those who are willing to join me then will be welcome to our niche & exclusive pure blood orange-pilled community

The common issue that we have is the Worldcoiners will also have same voting rights as bitcoiners. Hence, clown world citizens will continue influencing most outcomes in our sphere of influence

Wise words.

Trichotomy of control:

There are things we have complete control over.

Things we have somewhat control over.

Things we have no control over.

Use your time and energy wisely.

How much time and energy does it take to accurately categorize everything?

In my experience not much time.

It may be work at the start ( but added benefit of stopping and briefly internally categorizing also slows you down, gives time for introspection and helps you develop awareness) as you keep assessing your level of control in daily life situations it becomes intuitive to you with practice. ( this does not have to be academic, it can be an internal process and intuitive in nature)

Once you discern your level of control in any situation it can guide your decision making and allocating time/energy to what is useful action.

Good question ๐Ÿค

The thing that's really disappointed me about Dystopian Sci Fi from HG Wells, Yevgeny Zamyatin and Aldous Huxley to Margaret Atwood and the Wachowskis is that these were all supposed to be warnings. Instead they so captivated our imaginations that we thought they were prophetic.

They AREN'T.

We are the future. We can make it what WE want. Bitcoin and Nostr are the Enlightenment 2.0, bringing us out of the NeoLiberal dark ages.

My kids and grandkids will be free from dystopia. They will read about you in their history classes. They will think about the IMF like we thought about the politicians who mandated men swinging lanterns in front of the first motorcars. They will wonder what we were so worried about because they won't even be able to imagine the hellscape we prevented.

They won't know what we did for them but they will live free, happy and prosperous because we are here today zapping each other 21 Sats on Nostr.

And building a better future for them.

Worldcoin is dystopia

Bitcoin is utopia

Focus on how you want the world.

Be the example.

Thank you for the post. Great to have reminders there are others out there who see the world this way.

James! Hey man

This is true up until the point that action is needed in the public sphere, rather than only in what we control in our own lives.

Maybe. That is only a perspective.

Many people bent the knee to receive the jab. To continue their โ€œnormal way of lifeโ€.

The jab was a line in the public sand and we decided that that public sphere was no longer _needed_ in our lives.

And we moved onto something we believe is better in the world. We changed our perspective on what was needed.

Your article about time preference came to mind. It is one of the first I show when orange pilling. Your might want to post again since there might be people that have not read it yet.

Yes ๐Ÿ™Œ

But I have to say giving people who never had bitcoin 5 Dollar in Sats does trumendous help to show people at least the door. And if they make a nostr account i will gibe them another 5 Dollar in Sats.

100% agree, not everyone is going to make it. 80% of people cannot be helped as you wrote, however while we should be resilient, we should try to connect & awaken the remaining 20%.

Oh crap, you got my retina scan!!!
