Tenerife island 🏝️ #travel #photography #tenerife #island #spain #traveltelly

Good morning ☀️ We just came out of a profound retreat here on Tenerife.

Goodness, it's incredible how deep our conditioning and suffering goes ... and how beautiful to experience that there are ways to let it all go and open up to love.

I think for us to thrive and lead our full creative, authentic, joyful life, it's essential to once in a while withdraw completely from what we call 'normal' daily life, to make room for healing and change.

So, next up, giving a Wim Hof method fundamentals workshop in this fabulous place 👇🏻

The Sovereign Individual

This is a tough one. Until you experience censorship yourself. It is one of those things that you know exists, but it does not affect you. So why should I care?

Kind of like convincing people to start carrying a gun with them wherever they go. They have not been mugged before so why should they need a gun to protect themselves and their loved ones?

After being censored hundreds of times while trying to save lives. As well as being robbed at gun point before. Only now do I know the true value of freedom of speech and being able to carry the right tool to properly defend myself and my loved ones with equal lethal force.

To try and convince someone that censorship resistance is important. You nees to get them to walk a mile in your shoes. They may not be willing to take the risk on their primary accounts, but maybe have the conversation of you do not know what it is like.

Then give them a burner account that is freshly made and dare them to say things that are controversial, or wrong think. They will then understand what it is like to be censored and fighting to get their voice back. Either that, or if this is a random conversation in person. Just slap a piece of duct tape on their mouth mid conversation and run away. Both would have a similar effect.

Then they will be able to finally see the value in censorship resistance. Once they know what it is like to feel the ban hammer of being silenced.

I’ve been traveling down the AI rabbit hole while on vacay in #cairns.

Feels like the earlier days of #bitcoin, again. It’s so exciting!!!!

This passion for reading ₿itcoin-related literature has led me to a startling discovery, a time capsule of sorts from my own personal history (unlocked by ₿itcoin, by way of Softwar), allowing me to circle back to revisit ideas and musings shown to me in the 1990s.

You see, it was my great pleasure to read many of the works of Daniel Quinn (Ishmael, The Story of B, My Ishmael, Beyond Civilization, The Holy, Tales Of Adam, After Dachau, Providence; and currently reading "If They Give You Lined Paper, Write Sideways" [2007] for the first time).

The common theme of all his works call for a radical departure from 'business as usual' and a return to tribal lifestyle, but in a post-industrial context. This prescription flummoxed many of his readers.

But while reading Softwar by Jason Lowery, the writings of Quinn repeatedly came to mind, like a sound in the present harmonizing with an echo from the past.

It inspired me to pick up these books and read them again, but this time with ₿itcoin the X-factor, and while wearing Satoshi Shades.

Wow! Check out this passage from "My Ishmael" [1997]. It's almost as if it's describing today's ₿itcoin movement:

"Here are some things we can expect of the New Tribal Revolution, based on the experience of the Industrial Revolution. We can call it the Seven-Point Plan.

-One: The revolution won't take place all at once. It's not going to be any sort of coup d'etat like the French or Russian revolutions.

-Two: It will be achieved incrementally, by people working off each other's ideas. This is the great driving innovation of the Industrial Revolution.

-Three: It will be led by no one. Like the Industrial Revolution, it will need no shepherd, no organizer, no spearhead, no pacesetter, no mastermind at the top; it will be too much for anyone to lead.

-Four: It will not be the initiative of any political, governmental, or religious body — again, like the Industrial Revolution. Some will doubtless want to claim to be its supporters and protectors; there are always leaders ready to step forward once others have shown the way.

-Five: It has no targeted end point. Why should it have an end point?

-Six: It will proceed according to no plan. How on earth could there be a plan?

-Seven: It will reward those who further the revolution with the coin of the revolution. In the Industrial Revolution, those who contributed much in the way of product wealth received much in the way of product wealth; in the New Tribal Revolution, those who contribute much in the way of support will receive much in the way of support."

What communities or subcultures do you wish we had more of here on Nostr?

Deschutes Brewery

A small celebration. Beer that has flavor.

God, please take me now. I want out.

No one cares about privacy and censor resistance crap. Those topics are not gonnna get people here. What will are tools like when you gonna make a post to Instagram and it has all those creator options and stuff that what people want and like and nostr doesn't have that at all.

I currently read this as well. I’m a fun guy because I like fungi.

Can you imagine on a first date?

Him: “What do you do for fun?”

Me: “Walk around with my cat on the farm and take pics of him to post on a decentralized open protocol. Oh and talk trash on the CIA.” 😩
