TO THE LAST LIGHT

50x40cm oil on board

With this painting I would like to depict the last people left on earth as distant shadows walking toward the last light after abandoning the boat that saved them.

The last moment of hope surrounded by a breathtaking sunset...

I often find myself longing for the 90s and the childhood I had.

I forgot where I heard this, perhaps abundance from Ezra Klein, but this is the first time in history where generations in the U.S. are consistently looking back, longing for days past, rather than looking forward with hope and optimism.

The 90s were more affordable, more prosperous for everyone, less global conflict, less anxiety/depression, etc.

The one positive I feel, as our world shifts away from the world I once knew, is that local town centers and creators are starting to thrive in some places, and less malls dept stores, etc. That gives me hope. I’ll focus more on the local and my community, and less from this national and global chaos. It’s the only thing that keeps me sane.

Been thinking about this quite a lot since the end of last year. There are moments in my everyday life where I'm just like "man, I cannot believe I get to experience all this, my body, my surroundings, my kids".

Like just today after I left my son at day care and before I took off with my bicycle I looked back and there he was at the window waving his hand to me and sending kisses. I've never felt more gratitude and happiness at the same time.

I think I live a pretty simple life and I've never been happier. Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy but in a not so conventional kind of way. More like a super conscious happiness kind of way.

Difficult to put into words really. Anyway, GM.

I’ve read posts with similar sentiments on Reddit, in the subreddits of r/antiwork, r/leanFIRE, r/simpleliving, and r/adulting.

The slightly frustrating thing for me reading those posts is that nobody mentions Bitcoin. That’s why I’m liking Nostr. Those same topics are discussed, but with the inclusion of Bitcoin.

So basically everyone’s complaining about wanting more relaxation time for themselves …

it also gets repeatedly pointed out by people who have financial independence that - the problem shifts from ‘surviving’ to ‘thriving’, as in, having meaning and purpose in their daily life.

I’ve read a few posts from basically some newly rich person going, “now I’m bored!” haha

David Bohm, the renowned physicist and philosopher, had profound insights into the nature of fragmentation and wholeness, particularly in the context of human thought, society, and the universe. His views were deeply influenced by his work in quantum mechanics, his dialogues with Jiddu Krishnamurti, and his broader philosophical explorations.

### **Key Aspects of Bohm’s Views on Fragmentation and Wholeness:**

1. **Fragmentation as an Illusion of Thought**

- Bohm argued that fragmentation—the division of reality into separate, seemingly independent parts—is largely a product of human thought and perception, not an inherent feature of reality.

- He believed that the mind tends to break things into categories (e.g., self/world, mind/body, science/religion), leading to conflict and misunderstanding.

- This fragmentation, he suggested, is the root of many societal and personal problems, including war, ecological destruction, and psychological suffering.

2. **The Implicate and Explicate Order**

- Bohm proposed that reality has two fundamental orders:

- **Explicate Order**: The visible, tangible world of separate objects and events (the "unfolded" reality).

- **Implicate Order**: A deeper, interconnected reality where everything is enfolded into a unified whole (the "hidden" dimension).

- He used the analogy of a hologram, where each part contains information about the whole, to illustrate how the universe is fundamentally undivided.

3. **Wholeness as the Fundamental Nature of Reality**

- Bohm believed that at the deepest level, the universe is an unbroken, flowing wholeness (which he sometimes called the "holomovement").

- Quantum phenomena (e.g., non-locality, entanglement) suggested to him that separateness is an illusion—particles behave as if they are connected beyond space and time.

- He saw consciousness and matter as two aspects of the same underlying reality, not as separate domains.

4. **The Role of Dialogue in Overcoming Fragmentation**

- Bohm advocated for **"dialogue"** (a form of open, non-judgmental communication) as a way to transcend fragmented thinking.

- In true dialogue, people suspend assumptions and collectively explore deeper meanings, allowing a shared sense of wholeness to emerge.

- He believed that such communication could help heal societal divisions.

5. **Science and Society as Fragmented Systems**

- Bohm criticized modern science for its tendency to study parts in isolation rather than seeing systems as interconnected wholes.

- He saw similar fragmentation in politics, economics, and education, where specialization and competition often overshadow holistic understanding.

- His vision was of a "participatory universe" where humans recognize their embeddedness in a larger, intelligent whole.

### **Quotes from Bohm on Fragmentation and Wholeness:**

- *"Fragmentation is the illusion that the parts are separate and can be dealt with independently, rather than as expressions of a deeper unity."*

- *"The notion of a separate organism is clearly an abstraction, as is also its boundary. In reality, the flow of life is a single, unbroken whole."*

- *"In the implicate order, everything is enfolded into everything. The explicate world is just a surface manifestation of this deeper reality."*

### **Conclusion:**

Bohm’s work suggests that overcoming fragmentation—whether in science, society, or individual consciousness—requires a shift in perception toward wholeness. By recognizing the interconnected nature of reality, he believed humanity could move beyond conflict and toward a more harmonious existence.

Oh like this post that Jeff Booth reposted? nostr:note19xrmz7gj88znp6ux8pchyyzwredch45828rnnnxmzeuh5mjnwu9qnvvqn3 (via Bitcoin Apex).

I totally agree actually. I can see how that has happened for me on a individual scale.

That actually is very intriguing and exciting. I think that’s always been possible even when people are “poor” though … but I’ve also see in my own life, how the toxic cultures of higher education and workplaces can exacerbate divisions. It sucks. Hence, the “broken system” phrase.

The power of the LLM is limited by power of the tooling you provide it. nostr enables dynamic querying and nostrdb enables fast local views of data.

This combo will make dave much more powerful than grok when it comes to an agent that can assist with finding stuff on social networks.

But dave is not limited to the social protocol, it will have access to all kinds of note types and outbox model.

What if we got it to crawl nostr relays looking for interesting content? So many possibilities.

So you’re saying, “nation state and corporate treasury adoption” is *not* boring because it is part of the path for Bitcoin to become global currency (and not just lumped in with other risk assets). … but … then this is somehow connected with enabling a more Utopian society based on the values of Christianity?

Your other comment with the catchphrase “fix the money, fix the world” makes sense. I guess that’s why it is a popular catchphrase.

Anyways, GN 💤😴
