Ahhh... I only after the first few dates. After all, authenticity is both the physical and the phenomenological. May the best Woman win.
Yes, agreed. There is a ghost in machine! Yes, the five sense cannot capture the totality of the unconscious.
Got it. Yes, empiricism is limited as it's epistemology only includes the physical realm. Then when it comes to our psychology, a pure empirical explanation can only go so far. There is a "ghost" in the machine. ;)
A proper epistemology will included the empirical realm and the phenomenological realm. This is especially important in the understanding of human relatedness.
I like your thoughts on this. You rock.
I too see Freud's ideas on sexuality and pathology as quite important in understanding the psychology of another and my self.
Also, how we relate in intimate relationships to others will be framed by our early experiences in childhood. Anna Freud did great work in pioneering child psychoanalysis. I see her frame being limited too as she was devoted to her father's topographical model of the unconscious. Melanie Klein created a greater model of the baby core and the relation to mother. It began the system of Object Relations psychoanalysis. This model, I think captures more dynamics of human relatedness. It is the model in which I did my post-doctoral studies.
Robert Caper's book: "Immaterial Facts" does a good job of highlighting Freud's progression and does a bit to tie in Klein's ideas.
Also, what do you mean my "Marxist perspective"?
"ctrl" is soo close to the "printscreen" button on the thinkpad
Damn. That is very impressive. Much respect. What are somethings you have taken away from his work?
I am jealous! That would be a great place to visit. I study Freud in my post doctoral work!
Hey Adam! I just completed your survey. I am Dr. Plattner from https://drdustinplattner.com. Thanks for reaching out!
I curate the hardware and software for others to run their own node. So, let's just say my hardware and software satisfies a bitcoiner's needs.
I have updated the DIY instructions on how to install Sovran_SystemsOS on one's own computer/server.
Give it a look. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.
Also, there is an easter egg in the instructions of some upcoming announcement :)

It is super simple to make an Bolt 12 poster. Here is mine made right from my Sovran Pro.
Now, I can receive sats β‘very quickly and privately.
What a time to be alive!!

Bitcoin only, NOSTR only, and all governments are immoral.

BOLT12: Offers Officially Merged into Lightning Specification
BOLT12 is now a part of the official Lightning Specification. It is a significant enhancement to the Lightning Network, streamlining payments, improving privacy, and supporting new use cases like subscriptions and advanced payment conditions.
https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/bolt12-offers-officially-merged-into-lightning-spec/
Fire!!π₯ All Sovran Pros have the ability to create, pay, and receive Bolt 12 invoices.
Thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9wd6x2unwvf6xxtnrdakj7qgnwaehxw309amk7apww468smewdahx2tckuej4c for fixing my spaghetti code, #haven can now run on a 1 core / 1gb ram VM
VMs like this cost less than a blue check...
If you ran the import previously, you'll need to run it again (sorry lol)

You rocked it out with this relay implementation!
True
The Sovran Pro is your NOSTR fren!
It gives you your own Sovereign lighting address β‘ and your own Sovereign NIP05 verification! Now you can zap β‘ and receive zaps β‘ all in a completely Sovereign way.
No need for any custodian.
I have been using my Sovran Pro with NOSTR for a year now. It works great.
You will have to learn how to set up a lightning channel. However, I can walk you through it. So, that makes it easy and all the infrastructure is already running on the Sovran Pro. You don't have to install anything.
The software that is installed on the Sovran Pro that makes all this possible is nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg and Ride the Lighting (https://github.com/Ride-The-Lightning/RTL) all compiled securely and smoothly by the Nix-Bitcoin team (https://nixbitcoin.org/). Finally, then I package this software nicely into the Sovran Pro. π
I will be glad to help anyone set up a channel in their lightning node. Or I would be happy to help anyone setup a lightning node.
I might seem difficult at first, but I can help anyone, then it is easy to do.
The sovereign way is a great way.
#growbitcoin
The Sovran Pro now can pay BOLT12 invoices to Phoenix!
Here is how it works: Sovran Pro with Core Lightning turned on (I will set that up for you. No need to worry about it) + 1 channel + nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 then send to Phoenix's app Bolt12 invoice.
So cool!
Introducing HAVEN - The Ultimate Relay For Sovereign Individuals

HAVEN (High Availability Vault for Events on Nostr) is the next evolution of personal relays that take self sovereignty and decentralization to the next level.
https://github.com/bitvora/haven
It's a 4-in-1 Relay with:
- Private Relay - for your drafts, ecash/nutsacks and anything else only you should be able to see
- Chat Relay - for your web of trust to be able to send you DMs or to host private group chats.
- Inbox Relay - for people to send reactions, zaps and likes to your notes. It also pulls these notes from other relays in real time. Protected by web of trust
- Outbox Relay - for others to read from. This will contain all the notes that only you publish. Anyone can read, only you can write. Every note sent to your outbox relay will be BLASTR'd to other relays.
It also has many SMART relay features, including:
- It imports all your old notes to your outbox relay, and imports any note you're tagged in to your inbox relay
- It protects your relays using your Web of Trust
- It automatically backs up all your notes to a 3rd party cloud (currently only AWS S3 support - more soonβ’)
- It blastr's your notes to other relays
Amethyst users will love this relay because it gives you every relay you need to complete the relay configuration.
It is my hope with this relay that we can significantly increase the decentralization of Nostr by giving people an extremely powerful and reliable personal relay that gives them control over the longevity and privacy of their notes. With more people running personal relays, clients should be more inclined to implement the outbox/inbox model.
You can see HAVEN in action on my personal relay:
- wss://relay.utxo.one/outbox
- wss://relay.utxo.one/inbox
- wss://relay.utxo.one/chat
- wss://relay.utxo.one/private
I am extremely excited about this release and can't wait to see what the nostriches think of it!
To get started, follow the instructions in the README here:
A Nix Flake would be great. I can help with this.
