Sad to see Mr Pysh cater to macro evolution mushroom garbage chatter.

The same universities that messed with people's heads via kensian econ propaganda learned their trade by first pumping baseless macro evolution nonsense. Value your own time: Learn about intelligent design.

If I told you bitcoin's code fell into place without Satoshi typing one character, would you take me seriously? Mushrooms are much more complex than bitcoin.

# Desiring Status

The allure of status and the desire for approval from high-status peoples is intoxicating. Such esteem boosts our social standing and offers us credibility, essentially serving as a social drug. It’s similar to the rush of being treated like a rock star, with your every action being celebrated.

However, this pursuit of validation has its drawbacks. The praise and respect from the influential comes with a price. Usually, you have to achieve something remarkable to earn it, which is a challenging but merit-based approach. Alternatively, you can hack the system, navigating through political manipulation. This involves currying favor, flattery, and altering your beliefs to appease the elite - a fiat method that has sadly become quite popular.

Unfortunately, this second method destroys your soul. You end up debasing your original beliefs, becoming a chameleon that changes color according to the situation. Any genuine belief you retain becomes so diluted and non-controversial that it holds no power to effect any meaningful change, even if you acquire a position of influence. This phenomenon explains why many politicians, products of the fiat system, are so ineffective in bringing about substantial changes.

To truly effect change, one must resist the temptation to play this approval-seeking game. The moment we achieve greatness, the game shifts, and the approval from the elites can trap us, forcing us to conform to their values. This conformity distracts us from our original path to success.

In essence, seeking status offers instant gratification and superficial prestige, but it also debases your being and hinders your power to do good. Hence, the best approach is staying true to your convictions and focusing on meritorious actions, rather than succumbing to the allure of fiat approval.

Historians may one day indicate that this was the reason why so many took the path of antop and our nimble wimble friend

Truth becomes treason in an Empire of lies

Our minds will be bent during the next bullrun

Having some dev experience, I understand how throwing different bits of brief unrelated information together from the last few days could create some very gripping dreams. (I almost typed "interesting" instead of "gripping". But I just dispise the overuse of "interesting" so much!)

I looked in to this about 26 years ago. From what I could tell, nightmares were simply a mechanical way for the brain to sweep garbage data out the back door as it filed info into longer term memory. Have there been more discoveries since that time?

Secret Tip: If you have an account on an exchange, don't get a family member or friend to send you fiat strait to your exchange account so you can by bitcoin for them - or increase your daily fiat transfer limit. Their fiat account will get closed and their kyc/aml score will be destroyed - even if it is your marriage mate. We found out the hard way.

All things considered, I long for a country where sats can flow freely - without capital gains tax and where there is no reason to fear of invasion. Can such a place ever truly be one day?

Bob Murphey used to have a co-host on his pod - Jeff Deist. He seemed to be highly capable - having a very senior position at the Mises Institute. He said he was going off to a new job. I know that kind of corporate speak all too well unfortunately. One of the two possible meanings is that he is burning precious time on gardening leave. Does anyone know anything more? I want to see that man make a huge impact. He has a lot to give

Fantastic question. And that is where it starts: The questions

I would spend quite a few sats to sit down and talk to Tuur for days - an honest, decent, reliable and truthfull man. When you are next in the UK and open to meeting people who are not just bitcoiners, if you have the time and the desire, do DM me. If not, I completely understand. In that case, I'll just earn my way to a conversation via adding skilled value to blockstream or unchained.

It is my belief that your example of being a decent person will reap rewards beyond what even you have emagined.

Yep, it shows you how many children are already owned by the State!

And yes, astounded by the amount of "leaders" (inc faith leaders) who happily go to bed with the State and turn a blind eye to the fact that fiat money needs war. The handouts they get function like bribe money. Much of it is done in secret and it changes outcomes. All the while, they try and create a vibe of legitimacy.

Incentives are broken. So are morals.

Makes me sick. I hate the lies, dishonesty, corruption, lame excuses, gaslighting and endless mind games.
