"This is it." #Bitcoin

Ever used Google Maps?

GPS tracking would be impossible without space satellites. What is your theory for how GPS works, given you don’t believe in satellites?

Without space satellites, rural areas would have no internet.

Starlink exists. Are you saying you believe space satellites are made up?

How do you suppose you are using the internet right now?

He’s already created reusable rockets - the first of their kind

Will critique Elon where he’s wrong, but you cannot argue he hasn’t innovated in rocketry.

Elon is simultaneously leading humanity forward to become a multi-planetary species, and leading naive young investors to lose all their savings via a dog token with an infinite supply.

The duality of man.

Wokism is the suppression of one’s pattern recognition capabilities in order to earn social compliance points.

In other words, it’s a way of avoiding hard truths through willful ignore-ance.

“Pluck a flower, and it dies. Take up water from the stream, and it flows no longer. Pull down the blind, but the sunbeam is not trapped in the room. Snatch the wind in a bag, and you have only stagnant air. This is the root of every trouble: man loves life, but the moment he tries to hold on to it he misses it. The fact that things change and move and flow is their very liveliness, and the harder man hangs on to his life, the sooner he dies of worry.”

— Alan Watts, Behold the Spirit

“What we have to realize, therefore, is not the getting of union with God, but the not being able to get away from it. It is in, it is this Eternal Now, wherein God so lovingly holds us.”

— Alan Watts, Behold the Spirit

“The focal point of Reality is now—this present moment, this elusive image of eternity, so small that it has no temporal length and yet so long that we can never escape from it. Here in this present moment life is most lively; here alone do we really exist. The past is dead; the future as yet is not.”

— Alan Watts, Behold the Spirit

“The very idea, the very word ‘God’ may indeed distract us in the process of realization because it is still a symbol, a concept, standing between us and the Reality—Now!”

— Alan Watts, Behold the Spirit

"Apparently there is nothing in God, and yet everything comes out of Him. Sun, moon, stars, mountains, trees, men—all have their being in and emerge from the Now, from something which, when we try to think about it and examine it, instantly seems boundless and void.”

— Alan Watts, Behold the Spirit
