Wow, I need to try this. Twitter has brought me so much knowledge but lots of triggering emotions with its content as well

Great to hear your experience. I'm having similar effects swapping Nostr for Twitter. I don't know if I'll be 100% Nostr-only from now on, but at least day-to-day I'm scrolling Nostr, not twitter.

Huge inspiration. Need to spend some time curating a meaningful feed and then of like to ween myself off twatter also. Food for thought.

I’ve been off Twitter and all social media except for Nostr for a month now, and the results are hard to argue with.

I’ve started reading real books again (4 this month) and have noticed both my patience and attention increase noticeably. I also feel less angry and anxiety daily, along with being committed to my workout routine.

I found that Nostr has met my social media needs, most importantly, my own ability to self-limit with it. Nostr is a bit ‘boring’ compared to traditional social media because ITS NOT TRYING TO KILL YOU!!!

Controlling your own data isn’t nearly as important in terms of ownership, as it is about allowing that information to be used against you. All of your most intimate thoughts and feelings are data mining by massive corporations specifically to find emotional triggers for you, so they can sell you shit, or force thoughts on to you.

Fuck these people that run these companies that farm our emotions to sell us shit, and to work with corrupt government to censor our speech, sell out dissidents, and destroy our internet.

We are much, much, much more powerful than they will ever be because we don’t need force, corrosion, or permission to run these systems of social connections that they cannot destroy.

My month of social media detox has really lifted the veil from the hate industry complex that are all social media companies today. Stop prostitution your content, thoughts and powers to these shitty companies that enrich the scum of the earth, and empower illegal, unconstitutional and immoral government agencies from their dragnet surveillance.

I’ll make one last tweet explaining this and then nuking my account in the next few weeks. Then I’ll be Nostr only.

Fractional reserve banking is older than central banks.

The bankers of old convinced kings to legalise this fraud in return for generous credit.

Any reason for fractional reserve existing other than fraud being profitable is a post-hoc justification for said fraud. And these days it's more like fictional reserve.

You should go back to being angry, it is the correct state of mind.

If the government adopts a Bitcoin reserve standard, they won’t be able to fund wars or spend on the military as easily. This could lead to more peace and prosperity. Politicians would lose control over their own narratives and their power. You get the idea why they hate #Bitcoin.

It does, otherwise prices won't be stable.

Paper was detached from gold to allow for a growing money supply to support a growing economy.

Man is it hard not to be led by the emotions it all causes. I battle the same issues but we can all achieve more with striving towards something than against it. Thank you for trying, sincerely.

Sly and roundabout ways… 😉

What’s for breakfast?

I’ve had a solid six months of training well with no injuries. Probably the strongest I’ve ever been, at 47. Feeling good!

1 & 2 and then 3) Everyone watches the Super Bowl and memes about the halftime show online.

If posting on nostr takes effort, you’re doing it wrong. nostr:note1jk0rqyyv3a73m4u4u7a8xc3v63murj4r5uzepzhthls87qnr378qznptgl

Humans are the same, all over the world... You may think you're better off in another country but it is maybe that you do not understand all the ins and outs of the country you moved to... Speaking from experience. Moving out is easy, fighting the system from within is something else.

Bottom line, we are on earth, filled with humans.
