The more experience I gain, the more I examine things through one main lens when it comes to really important things: only work with people that youâd be willing to go to war with.
Iterate towards those people.

Yes but to see with a lens that strives for objectivity, isnât it important to engage with folks that receive impressions with a different lens? That way I can become aware of my own subjectivity and how oneâs own ego strives to protect itself rather than allow a more universal connected experience, knowledge and wisdom?
When your dreams include service to others - accomplishing something that contributes to others - it also accelerates the accomplishment of that goal. People want to be part of something that contributes and makes a difference. - Jack Canfield
I like the analogy but seriously, fuck war
War is a broad spectrum and the forms of physical power projection is just covers a section of it. From that perspective it sounds like saying 'fuck photosynthesis'.
Seems a bit of a leap from war to photosynthesis. Words have meaning, and war is rarely in your best interest.
Yea youâre right. I could have been way more precise. Bit to loose and unclear from my side. Apologies.
My point is more that war isnât only when people and weapons are fighting other people with weapons. Itâs also when one country entices another country to go into debt with them. Or when a bunch of hackers attack energy grids.
It just looked like saying fuck war just isnât very helpful, even though I definitely hate it as much as the next Bitcoiner.
The thought came from the idea that all life forms strive to expand until they run into some sort of limiting factor. Societies seem to do the same. The limiting factor on one front, for humans/societies, seem to be land used by other societies, thus we always have strife/power projection/war on that plain. And that plain is always limited making war (defensive or offensive) necessary to protect âyourâ life form.
Perhaps the problem that we currently organize under states that can fiat us into war and fund them. Which exacerbates the problem enormously. And perhaps we can indeed progress to a softwar state where physical war is impossible to fund/ execute on. I definitely hope to see it.
Weâre probably on the same page with the idea behind âfuck warâ, I just wanted to give a tiny poke to do a little better. Just like you seem to do with your comment to me (thank you).
Because whatever way we cut it, we might not be interested in war, but war is interested in us, our families and our friends.
Yeah, and thanks for your considered response đ«
Itâs your final par I most resonate with, as with Lynâs OP really. Itâs all about those families, those friends, those people Lyn talks about wanting next to you when the shit hits the fan.
If itâs my fight, or fighting for this people - sure, all in. But âwarâ is rarely that, I think âwarâ is more specifically the forced and usually violent resolution of disputes between nation states or ideological groups, none of whom care about those people we care about.
Maybe I just need to expand what I mean by âwarâ but itâs so awful, so destructive and so often in very few peopleâs interests I think we should keep it defined as that fiat bullshit we all want to see ended. Life is hard enough. Fighting for people who donât care about you, that just has to stop
đ« Right back at you!
I totally agree that the wars, in the classical sense of the word, definitely look like what you describe.
I agree with what you say, we should probably define that broader form of 'strife' or 'power projection' as put in the book Softwar by another word and not opfuscate the word war.
Totally agree we'd all be a HELL of a lot better off if it's stopped. As long as it's not stopped through the means of some all-encompassing tyranny or world government.

Problem is so many programmers are too fat to run fast.
highest art of war is in avoiding conflict
Amen to that avoiding conflict is one of my favorite things to do
For sure!
Absolutely agree.
A related piece of advice: If you partner with a known cheat (collaborating on a project, appearing on their podcast, whatever) because they can help you in the short-term, some of your long-term allies that have been cheated by that person will abandon you. You likely wonât be informed why these key people have dropped out of your life and will no longer assist your work.

Suggested edit : ... only work with people and tech (Bitcoin) ...
Agreed and sometimes your BFFs even if theyâre in the same space maybe arenât good work people for your friendship
