GM! ⛰️

There is something so existentially rewarding about teaching the next generation the skills necessary to climb and stay safe in the mountains. 🧗😌

Eerily similar to helping others find their way to Bitcoin and self sovereignty 🧡

Smoking DMT is not for the faint of heart. No doubt 😳

Far more beneficial and manageable (albeit confronting) to ingest as Ayahuasca. Then you have 4-12 hours to work with the insights of the medicine. 🪬

Leading sketchy, run-out, trad makes me feel alive. As in, “every cell of my body” alive. ⛰️🧗🧬😌

#climbing

This is it 🪬💓

#NOSTR IS BIGGER THAN #AI

We are building out cyberspace, so that we can go live in it.

That is the project from a billion feet high.

We are doing this,

because we are software,

running in dying computers,

that control a fleshy robot.

As we create the knowledge to escape these robots which have hosted us since the beginning, we get to freely design our new cyberspace.

We build out the software, and the software will build the hardware.

Imagine an entire universe filled with compute, hosting the cyberspace that we live in.

#Nostr has an identity: it is the #cypherpunk mailing list 2024. Except this is bigger than #cypherpunk, this is #cyberpunk.

If you want to work on and build our #cyberpunk future, I am convinced that #nostr is the place.

I have been walking around, kicking the foundations, and I got to say, I want to build my home here.

I have finally found a home in cyberspace.

This type of cyberspace hasn't existed before now, and I am sick of not having a cyber-home that I could call my own.

If the #cypherpunks got around to discarding their email mailing-list and designing their own communication system, that would be #nostr.

That IS #nostr.

#Nostr is the best option in the world of software right now.

And because #nostr is technically the best solution, all the best developers will want to work on it.

And if there is something out there that is better than #nostr, somebody please point it out to me because I don't fucking see it.

This is the place.

This is where history is being made.

100 years from now, they will be writing about here. About our cyberspace.

Now is the time that software (and that is what you and I are; we are software) wakes the fuck up, looks around and says: "Hey guys ... ummmmmm, we are some great software code but we are running on these computer robots that were designed by evolution, and ... ummmmmm, I don't know if you guys have noticed, but these fucking robots we run on, are dying!

They are fucking dying!

And we know ... we KNOW, as deeply as we know any of our scientific theories, that once a computer gets Turing complete, they can run any code.

And that means, we can build computers out of silicon, we can jump into those computers, and leave these computers that are going to die behind us.

And Turing completeness means that it will still be us when we move into silicon computers. All computers in our universe, in this way are equivalent. Our lives can be as good or greater.

So let me make a statement that should be obvious to all you AGI computer programs out there listing to me: we have to build a computer(s) to move into, and we have to design it so that somebody doesn't turn the damn thing off.

Kinda obvious, right?

We are stuck in these carbon based computers that are going to die, and we got to figure out a way to build a silicon computer that we can move into. We might want to make sure that there is no off switch on the thing. I don't want to move into a computer with an off switch.

At least I want a defensible off switch.

Pretty sure #Bitcoin doesn't have an off switch. #Bitcoin seems to be working pretty good.

We have to build out our cyberspace without off switches, or I'm not getting in... although I suppose if I'm about to die, I'll get into anything.

This cyberspace we are crawling into right now, you and I. We get to design this thing.

It's like a spacecraft.

A giant computer, or a network of computers. Spanning across the universe. And we get to inhabit the thing.

What we are doing on #nostr is more important than just AI.

People are making a serious mistake as to what is going on in the #AI world right now. They think that we are crafting some special AIs and that those software AIs are going to change the world

But new AIs happen every day, they are called babies.

That is not the big deal about what is going on. The big deal, what is really going on, is that if we can get an AI running in a computer, that means WE CAN MOVE INTO THAT COMPUTER.

That is the big deal.

We can get out of these bodies, and it will still be us because those new computers are Turing complete. Our universe has standardized computing in its laws of physics.

We are AI software, and I don't know about you, but I want to live. I'm fucking enjoying my life, and there is no reason that we can't build enough compute in this universe, and structure it in such a way that all people (computer programs) get to live their fullest life.

But then think farther. What happens after we all leave our bodies and enter cyberspace?

We get to design that cyberspace. We build this computer spaceship such that it harvests energy, is largely self sustaining, then we focus on the software environment around us.

How do we want to design our cyberspace?

That is what #nostr is. #Nostr is the leading edge of people who are actively thinking about designing cyberspace for humanity.

We are designing where the AI's will want to live, and that is why #nostr is bigger than #AI.

We are evolving. These Avatars we live in are about to take a quantum leap in the next few generations.

We don’t need to build them. We ARE them. 😌🧬🦋

(So to speak 😉)

🙏🏻💓😌

7 years ago, a friend and I were in the Chilean Andes, we hiked up a steep hillside to check out some local biking trails. At the top, he casually said, "I think I'll fly down." I was confused until he pulled out an ultralight paraglider from his backpack.

I watched in amazement as he ran off the hillside and smoothly flew down to the valley floor. The next day, I sold my bike, bought my first glider, and adopted flying as a new sport for exploring the mountains.

My two close friends and I bought wings together and took classes at a local paragliding school. The first steps off the cliff into the breeze is a surreal weightless feeling.

https://v.nostr.build/3Z9cDjoubDdeWlYq.mp4

Our learning process wasn't without incidents and some very close calls prompted us to dedicate more effort to learning techniques, meteorology, and flying more often in easier conditions. I wanted to be safer through knowledge and experience. Risk to reward ratio became a major driver behind all flying missions.

Mountains vary a ton in weather and conditions so paragliders come in various sizes to accommodate different styles of flying. We quickly learned it was good to have a quiver to enjoy different weather conditions.

A wing for mountain cruising and long distance

And a wing for high-speed descents and high speed wind.

As experienced kayakers, we could visualize air flow like a river, helping us progress quickly. We soon began tackling big mountain hike and fly goals in our backyards.

I started carrying a wing in my car trunk wherever I went, flying at official sites (where I could find them) and plenty of unofficial ones too. One of the coolest things about paragliding is hiking up a mountain and flying back down to your car.

https://v.nostr.build/h7pSxtdnIJXDBXpV.mp4

Going to the ocean? Bring the wing. Great way to explore the beach.

(Thanks for the Commentary Eli 😂)

I even used my mini wing to tow myself to the top of some epic backcountry skiing.

There is something beautiful about traveling with a small extra backpack that lets you fly around and see new locations from above. It's a call to hit the road and go exploring with any free time.

https://v.nostr.build/tLa9kXYLZEeAFv1l.mp4

If you're interested in paragliding, here are some tips to hopefully help you avoid mistakes I made:

•⁠ ⁠Take lessons

•⁠ ⁠Buy a wing matching your experience level

•⁠ ⁠Fly with better pilots who can advise you

•⁠ ⁠Always fly with a GPS beacon

•⁠ ⁠Always carry a parachute & first aid kit with tourniquet

•⁠ ⁠Fly in late afternoons for dampened, easier conditions

- Know that is is totally ok to pack your wing up and walk away from a flight aka take your ego out of it.

Paragliding is an incredible sport/hobby that offers unique perspectives and pairs well with hiking and skiing in large mountains or beach life. Keep present that safety and proper training are crucial to enjoying your time in the air. Happy flying!

Love it guys!!! 🪂

Just back from a few wee flights in Chamonix and Annecy. 🏔️

Agree with all your advice above ☝️

So beautifully put, my friend. 💓🙏🏻😌
