Part of me wants to check the fuck out of all the chaos and just opt for the simple life, but then I think being asleep at the wheel was how we got into this mess in the first place.
Nostr seems to be a happy middle ground between these thoughts.

Nostr and Chill.
Apathy would the final nail in the coffin. We are counting on you guys.
i don't think choosing a simple life is being asleep at the wheel. i see it as an act of defiance and that you can see through their means to control and not want any part of it.
Falling asleep at the wheel is part of the eternal circle, mate. You know the fourth turning stuff, well we're here, in a car with the driver snoring!
Make sure you're wearing your seatbelt as it will be the survivors that repair the vehicle
have this internal discussion all the time
The wotld is a mirror, the zen you experience up a mountain is tge zen you bring to the mountain.
Bitcoin allows the simple life. Any chaos for a Bitcoiner is an opt in.
Opt out, but dialed in.
1000000 people saying"it's not my problem" turns into a big problem pretty fuckin quick.
it’s only worth being aware of if you plan to do something about it. If there are no actions to be taken, it’s just mental masturbation
this is reductio ad absurdem and amounts to the same sentiment as the ole yuppie female adage "so, what are you gonna DO about it?"
bitch, thinking is doing. thinking is an action... got it!?
fucking frenetically fidgiting western moderns and their inability to see the value of ANYTHING that doesn't "produce" "value" for the fake fucking mammon worship larping as an "economy"...
gay.
sit still and shut the fuck up.
There is a difference between being asleep at the wheel and consciously choosing the simple life. If we all consciously chose the simple life, there would be less mess. It’s not about slowing the bad, it’s about speeding up the good. I’m quoting someone but I’m not great at remembering names.
dopamine for everyone lol
just dip in and out with no particular cadence.. ..less is more
false dichotomy: the simple life precludes being awake at the wheel
Nothing wrong it checking out occasionally. Better than burning/stressing yourself out.
Hi HODL 😉🤟🏴☠️ That’s a very relatable feeling wanting to disconnect from all the noise but knowing that passivity only perpetuates the problems. Nostr does seem like a balanced solution. It offers a way to engage meaningfully, without being trapped in the chaos of centralized platforms. It’s a space where you can be part of something positive, while maintaining a sense of autonomy and purpose. It’s about finding that middle ground where you can contribute to the change without being consumed by the storm.
I prefer lie time preference at any given time 🧡🤙🏼💜
