Old man, still learning, Slowly as is appropriate for an old man, and incompletely as is appropriate for all men.

I do believe there will always be an exchange of value for value, but I no longer believe most people are benefited by the capitalists' organizing principle of money for labor. When I offer my thought, and one rewards me with a value of sats, is that an organizational principle of the capitalist? Is seeing it as post capitalist, perhaps managerial class transaction wrong?

Every theory, theology and theater of the world could be called a scam, but the most successful of them has provided benefit to those ‘believing’ them.

Best I can do is follow the #news and #breakingNews then block those who seem to post things that are not informative.

If there is an alternative, I would like to know it too.

There must be words the the hungers and thirsts of our senses. I don’t know them. What are the words for:

The hunger for warmth in the coldness.

The hunger for sound in the quite.

The hunger for light in the darkness.

The hunger for touch in isolation.

I don't read media who tell me Donald Trump’s most outlandish lie is that he is 6’3” and 215 Pounds. Perhaps people do believe that is his greatest shortcoming, but those people shouldn't be reporting.

Nikki Haley: 65 Is 'Way Too Low' for Retirement Age

Yes, that is how things change. Authoritarians imposing retirement age.

Is there something in the Wisconsin Constitution that speaks to districting for representation or to gerrymandering or do you believe the Court will make it own laws?

Good news, Eurasia makes advances into Eastasia as Oceania cheers?

The environment that capitalism allows for holding and acquiring wealth will create a new environment for the next generation as different from capitalism as capitalism from feudalism. I don’t much believe it will change for the individuals who hold and acquire wealth, but for the rest of us I am having some concern.

You say "It's a messianic cult, at this point."

Why should it be different at this point?

This morning I read an essay from nostr:npub1eetp2t4wq0m2uzs2tl5vfdmchsnagfymfnxzl23zz42jqhpn6jmqa079q6 that explained why I have walked away from my Republican "friends." Basically I'm not willing to hang out with anyone who is OK with the GOP. Not because of "political" reasons, because of moral reasons. Moxon does a nice job of pointing out the reasonableness of not wanting to befriend people who are trying to kill you.

What things to you propose as about which we must agree? Perhaps I can find it in myself to agree. Perhaps not. Then what?

Yes he who has authority to imprison, often uses that authority.

Thank you bitjoon@nostrplebs.com. I agree with your sentiments. I am grappling with the layers of complexity among actors and what can possibly emerge. My general understanding of complexity theory is that agency in relationships establish some sort of stable complexity until there emerges a new entity with agency of its own. Although I am familiar with their effects, I haven’t yet been able to grasp the agency of a ‘family’ or ‘corporate entity’. Can you share your thought on agency and agent with regard to relationships?
