We need less politics in our lives, and the only way to trend that way is to have less policies affecting our lives.

The minimal amount of governance is the best amount of governance.

“Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you.” - Pericles

As this rent seeking class rules every aspect of our lives, we must keep playing the game and affect outcomes towards the ones with a preference-set least detrimental to us.

- Full political apathy is dumb, you get captured.

- Voting is dumb, you don’t count because it’s rigged.

- Money maters, giving politicians cover maters, shaping public perception maters, supporting policy “think tanks” and lobbying maters.

But ultimately, separating state and money with bitcoin is our best chance.

Nailed it.

Politics is policy. Policy is complexity. More complexity, more error. Money is the the fundamental problem to be fixed.

Human nature means we are inevitably corrupted by power, but affecting policy to create room for a Bitcoin standard will achieve a beach head for freedom similar to the US Constitution.

🎯 Well put….

I remember when the election was over and you just moved on with your life. Feels like people are still arguing about 2008.

Since then they added a million new stupid regulations than affect your life a million more times.

We have no choice but to have to care

The problem is the losing party spends the next four years talking about how everything bad in our country is because the other side. People that win don’t get anything done and they blame the other side not working with them.

Vote with your pockets and with your feet. Ballots are usually useless.

Covid showed how flag theory based on the feet doesn’t give you too many options.

Fair point 🤙🫡

They promised us our lives would be better if we listened to their story. If we gave up our ways of life and adopted theirs. They promised us salvation, but instead put us in their prison. They may have control of body, but they will never control my thought. I will always sing my song, for those who want to listen.

Not too many, but people had options. States that forced policy suffered as a result (CA and NY). They were forced to drop (or reduce) the restrictions because so many people fled the state.

Politics has become theater. The only thing that most politicians care about is getting reelected and keeping the game going.

🎯

The State has increasing control over our lives. Out of self-defense people engage in political action.

This process will continue as long as we continue to view "the majority" as our master instead of respecting each other as sovereign individuals.

the best way to minimize politics in your life is to actively avoid it.

just like you actively avoid freezing or overheating and optimize your dwelling's climate so too must you insulate yourself against politics

-avoid people who speak of political party politics

-ignore all government news

-optimize income and business to have as little political customers as possible

-hire people who love political work to handle all political interactions

-live in an apolitical neighborhood

-never engage in political conversations

Best votes we have are our time and money.

The rest is marketing to distract.

Spend and save those two wisely and individuals become powerful.

The minimal amount of governance is self-governance.

Okay, maybe on local level. On state level or even international (EU) it doesn’t matter what you do.

Which country currently appeals to bitcoiners the most?

I'm not buying El Salvador yet..

Term limits is such an easy start to reducing the rent seeking

#Bitcoin renders any type of central governance obsolete over time... Like mainframe computing... Time to move on.
