"One does not simply pop to the Bali Timechamber for breakfast" meme.
Preflood civilization was a different scale to ours. Got so 'advanced', including genetic tampering, that it needed a reset.
I imagine Noah to have been a self-sovereign off-grid leave me alone kind of guy, still faithful to God while the rest of society went to the dogs. It took years to build that ark as a project because he was resourcing it himself, perhaps already excluded from buying and selling in their equivalent of Babylon.
Preflood humans lived longer, were probably healthier, and certainly compounded knowledge better and faster than we're doing today. Adam walked with God... subsequent generations were taught skills by angels, people had time to see projects through. Genetic tampering late in that period probably yielded a race of giant hybrids - the transhumanism of its day - compelled to serve human masters until they rebelled. Very similar narratives to our fears of AI & Robot takeover today.
Remember, it only took a couple of hundred years for the recent tech explosion to take place. A century of slow science followed by two centuries of exploitatio through engineering and technology. Not hard to imagine how quickly preflood humanity reached and surpassed this point, crossing all sorts of boundaries. Most people agree that nuclear fusion was a genie that we would rather hadn't come out of the bottle. Genetic engineering in the hands of eugenecists another genie. Maybe we'll reach a tipping point with AI, and realise our worst fears. Only this time the bible isn't warning about repercussions, it's saying that our return to such madness is just a sign of the end.
God's plan to redeem the world through Christ would have been prematurely derailed with the destruction of all humanity at the time of the flood. That a family survived and bridged the old and new worlds... and that their fragile clan grew to repopulate the earth... is itself remarkable.
But now Christ has risen from the dead, and is already at the right hand of the throne in heaven, waiting for the signal to wrap things up here and begin the golden age. After two thousand years of invitation and opportunity, there's nothing obliging him to keep things going indefinitely. This life feels like the main event for most of us, but it's an annoying prelude to the real thing as far as heaven is concerned.
I believe all these ancient alien type clues around the earth, advanced energy systems, mega structures, perfected engineering and construction... all signs of an advanced human civilization living "in the days of Noah"... challenging our preconceived ideas about the nature of that generation and the purpose of the cataclysmic judgement that came. As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be when the Son of Man (a title for Jesus) returns to the earth.

I have no fear of buying, only fear of being abducted and tortured to handover my keys, on account of all the buying.
Bitcoin taking a short breather this week, as the plunger pulls back to launch the next round. Global M2 says we're in for a fun ride, starting sometime next week.
The big top doesn't come until around September, so expect further turbulence as we grind up from $120k to $280k... before dropping back again for a 'rest year' in 2026.
Of course, this all assumes we're not yet in a super cycle - ain't that right nostr:nprofile1qqsxzsz83jdwztcapd2qulzhspnyjvn6jxcypvrl0w3aahp40j4smfgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn976av6t?
My favorite herb of all time is #rhodiola rosea. Anti-stress energy. Great for daily life. Great for reducing cortisol belly. Great for balancing the stress of lifting.

Way back when I also followed you on xitter, I recall you giving advice on ivermectin for a parasite flush.
Do you have any current advice on this? Just pop the pills or is there a protocol?
Sounds good.
Yeah I feel I reached saturation point with bitcoin podcasts, newsletters, channels, feeds, blogs, books, and half-baked product launches. Along with all the immediately adjacent stuff like prepping, regen, austrian, and so on.
Maybe it's because I've been consuming for seven years and feel my goodwill hasn't been rewarded with a growth or maturing to quality that I expected. Everything's still half-assed but 'please support because bitcoin'.
As per other posters this week, we've also lost sight of our bitcoiner values too soon, so everything in this space feels directionless, while we wait for $1m bitcoin to make us all richer, and a few entrepreneurs sell us shovels along the way.
I'm not entirely sure what's bothering me, so here for the nos-therapy... but your phrase "bored of the traditional bitcoin podcasts" touched a nerve.
Sigh.
I uploaded the NIP repo to NotebookLM and asked for a walkthrough from NIP--01 to NIP-51:
Here's one of the best Nostr explainers ever: https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/c5867222-1a9a-4d53-8204-c659dd0d7d9c/audio
And maybe taught Google a thing or two in the process.
Seven years old but still insightful and bang up to date.
y u brag on nostr about ur tweeter?
Is it good for Bitcoin?

Don't worry about the dip, it's just a psyop intended to unsettle your otherwise unshakable belief. The great thing about bitcoin is that it doesn't care. Everyone looks for causes and correlations but none of it matters. The price goes up until it goes down until it goes up.
Sit back, relax, enjoy the ride... if you wanna buy the dip then go ahead, if not that's also fine.

The people will vote with their feet and the infrastructure should follow.
