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 does—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.

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.

Sounds like a quote from Seneca :-)

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

annica 2y ago

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 🤝
