I tried translating it, but apparently it's unique.

In Dutch there is a word for authority that is not enforced with power but earned with respect, "gezag". It's a pity this is not a universally know word.

Purchased from a rancher with Bitcoin 🤝

What is a "timechain" ?

If nine people in a group of ten agree on an issue, the tenth member must take a contrarian viewpoint and assume the other nine are wrong.

God damn highssellhoff you didn’t have to do me like that

It makes sense, just like we call the internet “the internet” being a protocol, but it just sounds so wrong

We’ve all been taught since birth that money and worth go hand in hand. What is someone’s “net worth”… this isn’t a mistake. They want you to believe that you are what you’ve earned. In reality, there are salt of the earth people that have absolutely no possessions or wealth and are infinitely more wise than some of the wealthiest among us. Some people figured out the fiat game better than others. Congrats. While this is an achievement, it isn’t the only measure of a man.

Like #Bitcoin, YOU are infinitely scarce. YOU are priceless. Don’t fall for the framing that you are what you’ve earned.

Didnt know you could do that . works with Youtube?

Does anybody know how to get Download Helper extension on a chrome based browser, or do I just have to use firefox .

Pretty shitty that chrome blocks it when it is so useful .

thanks — appreciate your engaging on this respectfully and in good faith.

I don’t mean to get too caught up on the war analogy, but more the Game Theory. Sometimes people settle on a suboptimal outcome for fear of a worse one, when if they cooperated, they would get a far better one.

The fact is if everyone who believed trans women playing women’s sports is a joke, said so loudly and under their real names, that shit never would have gotten started. I use this as a trivial example.

But no one wanted to speak up because they could get cancelled, so we have this absurdities which we permit.

We empower the tyrant by fearing him and validate the censor by not exercising our rights to free speech, consequences be damned.

Encryption is for private messages. I’m talking about ideas you want to see proliferate in the public square.

But think of it in game theory terms. It’s a net win to hide and post something rather than nothing for the individual, but at the cost of standing up and actually showing we are the many, and they are the few.

Yes, some people might lose a job, just like some soldiers storming the beach at Normandy lost their lives. But you don’t win the war if no one is willing to fight for the cause.

In this case the cause is a free and prosperous society rather than the dystopian shithole the WEF censor types are trying to bring about.

Yeah, you have *some* skin in the game, especially if you build up a following. But it’s not as powerful IMO as someone who is saying, “Yeah, that’s me IRL saying and believing these things, and standing up for my right to do so, even if other people are going to be mad about it.”
