New York City and California are pushing new covid guidelines and telling people to wear masks once again.

Women post revealing pics on the internet for (a) attention, (b) money, and (c) both.

Scam artists know this and exploit women under their control to loot simps.

#Nostr has very strong incentives and no guardrails for pimp-like scammers to create income streams from the zaps of gullible Bitcoiners.

Yep the science on the biological harm is overwhelming. Just shadow band, or suppressed.

Congress passed a law that make it illegal to regulate telecom tech on the basis of health.

I include RF in the definition of “light”.

Invisibly Rainbow is a good book on the subject

I firmly believe the stuff about radio waves disrupting the endocrine clocks though.

That's why I connect my laptop via ethernet cables and the phone is over 10 metres away, and why I am pissed that I didn't keep my wired dual driver speakers instead of these ultra annoying bluetooth units, that constantly flip stereo channels and I have to remove and re-pair every time I change to windows to play games.

When I was young, I always thought the communications technologies of the future worked with photons and entanglement. But here we are, millimetre waves everywhere, some of them ionising oxygen in our blood. (20ghz, used in 5G).

Look at the sun? 😏

by the way, my headache and eyeball pain never subsided. am i worried? yes. have i seek treatment. yes, at government clinics. what they said? its migraine.

am i happy with that answer? no. obviously. i have eyeball pain, not aura.

so why didnt you go to private clinics. coz i cant afford to, for now. in case you are wondering why im jumping-jumping to do more part time jobs.

What's Kruse doing these days? I was absolutely fascinated by his idea of a virus causing rapid mutations in the early stages of the Dryas but after reading Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya I much prefer a simpler, theory.

The idea that 40,000 years ago a star blew up, blasted the earth with cosmic/x/gamma rays, sterilised Australia and Antarctica, and on the margins some humans who were not killed by it lost a few genes, namely ones involving melanin and the one that turns off lactose metabolism after infancy, among other things (and led to a dramatic increase in neural connectivity).

The idea that the HERV, being related to "leaky gut" - an intolerance for plant proteins that increased ingress of viral particles into the blood is quite interesting, there probably is something to it, since it's plain by the DNA we have a virus in our gene pool that no longer can reproduce.

But the white/milk mutation predates the HERV by a long time, and there is plenty of evidence pointing towards the idea that the diversity of humans now is far less than it was back then, and rather than the more mainstream theory that humans killed off neanderthals and erectus and others, that actually we were still able to breed with them and the survivorship bias kicks into the scientific analysis, not realising that DNA can be latent and still continue to be transmitted forward in time.

Anyhow, yeah, Andrew Huberman is a recently popular biohacker/optimal type guy, his specialisation is neurology, and it's really worth checking out some of the things he recommends, notably the physiological sigh.

One of the subtle benefits of regular cold plunges is that you crave the sun daily.

My son came up to me and asked “why do you like your phone so much? Because you’re an adult?”

Made me feel terrible for looking at this damn thing so much and setting a bad example.

Also sad to realize that he’ll probably be doing the same unless we build options to turn off addictive functionality.

I need to do better.

Pornography and and Christian Libertarian Worldview

Yesterday I witnesses several plebs standing up for and applauding sex workers once the dust settled from the zapathon. Controversy was due to the fact that one of these ladies used the #zapathon tag to show off her "assets" to plebs during this highly anticipated and high traffic time. I witnessed the same pictures everyone else did and was initially offended that someone would use that hashtag for marketing x-rated material that could be witnessed by anyone who didn't Agree to the infamous cheeto stick guard rail 18+ content warnings. And yet, I'm on Nostr to help support in anyway I can to promote freedom from government overreach. As a Christian who understands and says he believes in libertarian principles, this posed a problem for me.

For all the non-Christians on Nostr, I totally get why this freedom is encouraged and applauded, but for Christians, how are we to look at this situation?

Christians hold to the idea that morality is not subjectively based on what we believe is right or wrong. This would be to make a God in our own image that is conveniently accepting of all our sins. Instead, we believe that God has set in place an objective moral standard, and this is the standard in which we will be judged by when we meet our Maker. This worldview frames how we view everything else in life, even our political inclinations.

In regards to the issue of pornography, the power of decentralization has given this work unlimited freedom. At this point, it is unstoppable and comical to assume that it could be. And yet, we inherently know that these freedoms can and will be abused, and ultimately lead to higher levels of protected perversions such as child pornography, rape, pedophilia, etc. Our political inclinations prevent us from running to the government for help. This decentralized technology has already left the harbor. Instead, the only means of escaping this is to purpose to do so individually, to be in the world but not of the world.

I for one, cannot applaud in good conscience the existence or inevitable growth of sex work on decentralized platforms any more than I can applaud those who will use it to sell drugs that will kill people, traffic women, or coordinate assassinations. Varying degrees of morality, granted, but consider the effects. A girl on onlyfans is ignorant of the ramifications of her influence on her clients conscience and actions. What might be a means of paying rent for her is a stain on the conscience of the man who willingly took advantage of her marketing. What starts off as vanilla, sporatic self-gratification will grow into an obsessive addiction that will continually seek darker perversions. Granted, the man is morally responsible for his own actions, and God will hold him accountable for every word, thought, and action. However, God warns that those who cause others to sin will be judged greatly. Thus, out of love for these women, I cannot applaud, but must mourn that these women are digging themselves their own grave.

So what is a #Christian to do? We don't judge those who are outside the Church of Christ, considering we are in no conceivable way morally superior. We do, however, encourage everyone to find freedom, true freedom, in the hope and service of Christ. He offers a freedom that Nostr and #Bitcoin can't provide us, and that is the freedom of knowing that although our sins are horrendous, Christ offers forgiveness to even the worst offenders. He offers freedom of conscience that allows the Christian to wake up every morning free from the burden of a fractured conscience, even though he knows he will inevitably mess up today. We have a benevolent King and Savior who cares for and comforts the shamed and broken hearted sex worker who hates herself for what she does.

As a Christian who believes in freedom, I seek a world, here and now, that is free of all evils, including the evil that rests in each of our hearts. Decentralization will disrupt how the world operates, and Christians need to understand the implications and effects this will have on society. But rather than pouting about how sinners shouldn't be allowed to sin, it forces us to realize that Christianity isn't about depending on the government to save us, but striving for holiness and allowing Christ to work in our hearts so that we no longer chase corruption.

I've heard that there are means in which one can build a relay that blocks unwanted content. I'm not familiar enough with the technology yet, and how we'd go about doing that. However, as a call to action to those who do not share my worldview and convictions, consider the fact that a platform that is free and safe for even children to use is much more appealing to masses seeking the freedom we can offer them than a platform that celebrates freedom FOR sinful use. In 10 years, #Nostr could be a hub for brilliant minds and sciences unadulterated by political propaganda or it could be reduced to the most depraved and unfiltered version of the Darkweb. We have the opportunity to choose today what tomorrow will look like. If that means factions of differing worldviews form and divide the work being done here, realize it is a feature of freedom, not a bug.

Hashrate crumbling?

I doubt lower fiat value and rising energy costs will be sustainable for a lot of miners.

I hear Iran is pretty hot nowadays.

Get vaccinated regularly, place your hope in shitcoins, eat garbage plant food, glorify scientism, and shoot dozens of loads a week over porn.

Many such cases.
