So cool! Does this exist?

Got it! Apollo, ergo cell phones. If you lock a bunch of people in shiny, clean rooms and say, "do math... or else!"... OK, I get it, but many inventions have been recreated or "pre-invented" by synchronous thinkers and inventors to the point of awarding the weaker mind the historical honorific of inventor while memory-holing the OG inventor. Why would nasa and apollo be immune from that?

Can I shush myself? 😁

I believe it's possible to argue in any age, with or without cell phones. Appeal to technology is just a veiled appeal to authority. This is why we call it the technocracy. There is no reason why cell phones would inherently help us get closer to the truth... quite the opposite! There's plenty of evidence to deduce that cell phones can actually obscure the truth. Hopefully you are not involved with emboldening this latter position...

Following nostr:npub10jnx6stxk9h4fgtgdqv3hgwx8p4fwe3y73357wykmxm8gz3c3j3sjlvcrd's post I want to raise the question of whether man went to the moon.

Despite being a conspiracy theorist, or so I am told, I believe that man did go to the moon for several reasons.

- Images of the lunar landing sites (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter). These images are from 2009, although we can argue that they were taken by the US and could be false.

- The Chinese Chang'e 2 probe managed to capture images of the Apollo landing sites in 2012. Although not at the same resolution as NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) images, these photos also showed the location of lunar modules and equipment left on the surface.

- Retroreflectors on the Moon. During the Apollo 11, 14 and 15 missions, astronauts left retroreflectors on the lunar surface. These devices allow pulses of laser light to be sent from the Earth to the Moon, and the retroreflector returns the light, allowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon to be measured with great precision. Some observatories and universities have conducted experiments using these retroreflectors, and the results are publicly available.

- Moon rock samples. The Apollo missions brought back 382 kilograms of lunar rocks, which have been analyzed in laboratories around the world, including institutions outside the U.S. These samples have been studied by independent scientists and have unique characteristics that differentiate them from terrestrial and meteorite rocks.

- International verification. It is not only the U.S. that has monitored these missions. Other countries, including the Soviet Union, which was competing in the space race, and nations with advanced tracking capabilities, verified and acknowledged the landings. For example, the Soviet Union did not refute the Apollo missions despite being in the midst of the Cold War.

What do you think?

Oh wow! Here we go again! I can't read enough of this stuff... LOL! Both sides have such great zingers! I believe it's an admixture of facts and truths and lies... I like to think about the possible motivations for burying BOTH a national hero AND the national super villain at sea... The "no stars" one gets me. The "who took Neil's photo" is a good one to make anyone step back and think. Of course they probably had a remote, pre-placed camera... or DID THEY?!?!? 😁 I still haven't heard a pro-apollo, facts checking debunker read out the NASA specs for that "first step" camera rig, but I'm sure these'll eventually surface, everything does! We have the privilege of unraveling a complex riddle, written by state secretists, veiled by hidden technologists and unrepeated by postmodern explainists. Debate and controversy, they get me going... Keep up the good work everybody!

Is any apple stuff written in C?

Squatters don't maintain this well... It's obviously got someone checking up on it. The fact that it's not overgrown is a good indicator. Abandoned is broad spectrum idea.

The #Quran is correct about riba. It is correct when it says that #God will declare war on usurers. We're about to see it. I'm a Christian, and I can see that this is correct.

I just listened to nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0appv40 talking with Saylor. TBH, it might be better if the big shots aren't thinking about an economy without credit. That will scare them. They won't get it.

But... Bitcoin is going to bring Islamic finance to the world. They won't call it that, that's for sure. Maybe they'll convince Muslims that they've actually adopted Bitcoin finance. But it won't matter - its the same thing.

I really liked Saif's explanation of why the cost of capital should approach zero. I only got a standard Keynesian education, and only undergrad, so I haven't heard that before. It sounds correct to me. Basically, as savings accumulate, you're willing to accept lower and lower yields because you have more and more savings over time - this is imperceptibly gradual, a generational shift. Its the utility curve applied to savings. I'd add that accumulated capital in a country can also count as savings - meaning buildings, machinery, improved land, etc.. The lower yield in that sense is visible in companies pursuing lower yielding operations as well as speciation of niches the economy supports.

Bitcoin's killer feature is immutable scarcity. If the whole world is using #bitcoin, and there's bitcoin loans that can't be repaid, well, too bad. The lender is shit outta luck. The borrower also has the option to abscond, if they think they can get away with it. Oops, shit outta luck. So, in the short run, the cost of capital is going to be high. Too high. In the long run, countries that continue the debt-yield model are going to find themselves with no money. Then you get the bad kind of anarchy, which maybe might turn into the good anarchy. No anarchy is good for governments.

There's a fork in the road in front of us. If we take the left path, the path of credit, we get the Mark of the Beast (again - not the first time). It won't matter if we dodge the CBDCs. Why? Because borrowers won't be trusted, and some mechanism will be required to basically enslave them. Probably everybody. Could be government registered wallets that interface with tracking implants. Maybe some other arrangement. They'll hermetically seal the bitcoin into the country via surveillance and checkpoints. Not good... Probably the beginning of humanity's extinction.

The right hand path is Islamic finance. That sounds scary, but it really just means that people have an alternative to debt. Instead of borrowing 5k sats to "buy" a car, your rich uncle buys the car and leases it to you, with the car as collateral. The lease might not be periodic payments, but simply a payment at a future date, for a different amount than you bought - the market will have to determine how amortization affects the return payment. This is really very simple - much simpler than our current system of monthly payments for three times as long as the car retains any value. Instead of enslaving the human, as in the path of credit, the material possession is enslaved as collateral. The bitcoin gets to flow freely, and no surveillance is required.

I expect both paths to be tried simultaneously. Countries that try to replicate credit on bitcoin will not survive. The Quran says that God will declare war on them, and I can't remember if it also says society will go insane or if that was an interpretation by a scholar, but we can already see that happening. Its a good thing God is merciful - we do have a chance, if we repent and actually understand. If you think none of this matters because its not from the Bible, think again. The Bible constantly compares sin with debt with interest, starting from Genesis, if you read it in Hebrew, or Greek in the NT. Our English versions have been edited. Go to a synagogue and ask, if you have the balls. Being a real Christian takes work. What, you thought it was gonna be easy? I'm not your pastor, I get no financial gain from telling you sweet nothings.

Here's the discussion between Saif and Saylor. And thanks nostr:nprofile1qqs9336p4f3sctdrtft2wlqaq5upjz9azpgylhfd3dplwf005mfrr9spzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7spz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kueg6g89xw for causing me to listen to this.

Ah yes, the civilization cycle...

Yep. Never heard of it until it recently became a political weapon. I did some temp work and the young people there, worshipped it. Thankfully I can't sing one one of its songs, but I don't think they're done with it yet. It elucidates edgy wholesomeness for those that follow it. Any disagreement with it, lands you in certain corners of their minds. Who's ready for some corner time! 😁
