This is what normies look like to me now.

I cannot understand why they refuse to adopt solutions that are available to them.

Solutions like #Bitcoin that enable financial freedom, and solutions like #Nostr that enable freedom of speech.

Instead they choose to suffer so that they do not appear contrarian.

Why do they 99% not see what we see?

Status quo is a hell of a drug

bingo.

If you don't know then you don't know. Much like cybersecurity risk. Though, once you know you can't not know

The answer is psychological, ultimately spiritual.

It's about being able to handle change. It's about letting go of the need for an authority. It's about having the capacity to going on that journey towards real freedom. To have your trust + worldview shattered, and to face all the responsibility that comes with that path of freedom, isn't easy.

It's about being able to say, I wasn't right, I didn't and I don't know. But I'm ready to go on the journey to find out for myself.

That takes courage, that needs awareness of one's own conditioned behavior patterns.

I hope we get more adoption.

We are creatures of habit for better or worse. They will come around when it is common to see/hear Bitcoin around them. Like cell phones tik tok Instagram etc.

Ardent Truthers who are seemingly blind, deaf & mute to Bitcoin also frustrate me.

Admitting to be wrong is also a huge barrier. With all the multiplicity of choices in life we tent to get a smaller and not a bigger world view.

indeed...some of my most intelligent friends have a problem with this more than any other thing.

Agree, these are people who have mostly build quite some world around them and they have the biggest problem when it starts falling.

Adoption takes decades. Progress has been fast enough...better to let the world acclimatise to the new standard than for change to happen suddenly.

ya maybe. I still think there are people who understand it, but are too stubborn to change. I don't understand those people.

I think it’s simple: incentive

They have yet to experience a severe problem in their life that Bitcoin or Nostr etc solves for them

The day that happens, is the day they walk around the proverbial gate

ya...no such thing as preventative maintenance in the world of finance.

why do we have to wait for catastrophe before we act? it's clear where the dollar is going.

I think that's true! That's why my 20 years of Redpilling didn't have much of an effect until recently, when things actually started to affect them.

To be fair to the rams, they are packed there because they're licking the gate to introduce precious iron into their diet.

They are smarter than processed-food-eating normies.

really? that tracks.

Many try it. But they don't have the patience to overcome the initial dry spell and quickly return to their old prisons.

because they are morons.

Where is Little Bo-Peep?

She seems to have lost a lot of her sheep.

It took a couple decades to Redpill people in my sphere of influence .... now after no luck trying to Orangepill them, I'm starting to think of them as normies again!

It's a silly world.

It’s on a need-to-know basis

normalization of entertainment

demonization of suffering

these people are slaves, not freemen
