“Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.”
The quote by Leonardo da Vinci, "Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence," carries a profound meaning that has stood the test of time. At first glance, it seems to suggest that remaining silent can enhance one's authority or position of power. By choosing not to speak, an individual can exhibit an air of mystery and confidence, compelling others to seek their approval and guidance.In a straightforward interpretation, the quote highlights the significance of silence in establishing and maintaining authority. When a person remains silent, their words become scarce and thus hold greater weight when they do speak. This scarcity commands attention and respect, allowing the individual to exert their influence effortlessly. By withholding information or opinions, the authority figure creates an aura of power around themselves, leaving others curious and eager to uncover their thoughts.However, to delve beyond the surface meaning of the quote, let us explore an unexpected philosophical concept: the power of active listening. While silence may give the impression of authority in the conventional sense, active listening can provide a contrasting yet complementary approach to exerting influence. Active listening involves not just remaining silent but also fully engaging and empathizing with the speaker, thus fostering a sense of connection and understanding.In contrast to the notion that silence strengthens authority, active listening acknowledges the importance of communication and mutual respect. Instead of using silence as a tool to dominate others, active listening recognizes that true authority stems from openness, empathy, and the willingness to genuinely hear others' perspectives. It is through this process that authority figures can build trust, foster collaboration, and inspire others to follow their lead willingly.While silence may command attention, active listening encourages dialogue and enables a collective emergence of ideas. By engaging in meaningful conversations, authority figures can harness the power of diverse perspectives, address underlying concerns, and arrive at more comprehensive and innovative solutions. It is in the exchange of thoughts and ideas that authority can be strengthened further, not by the withholding of speech.In conclusion, Leonardo da Vinci's quote reminds us of the conventional understanding that silence can grant authority. However, by introducing the contrasting idea of active listening, we discover that authority can be fortified through genuine communication and empathy. While silence has its place in certain situations, it is through the act of listening and engaging in open dialogue that true leadership emerges. By understanding and embracing both concepts, individuals in positions of authority can strike a balance between silent contemplation and active engagement, ultimately empowering themselves and those they lead.

nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l don’t you think since we only really have 2 cycles -2017 and 2021 where a decent percentage of people knew about bitcoin that 2021 cycle is just as likely to be the norm and 2017?
Also as an asset grows larger and larger wouldn’t there be smaller returns? We had only a 3x from peak to peak from 2017-2021. Trying to wrap my head around 475k. Want it to be true but I expect with wars, and things getting more chaotic that there will always be someone to blame for bitcoin not reaching the price point we think. Was burned by the 100k fever in 2021 so that doesn’t help.
Hes a very conservative and successful trader. Dont put your hopes in it getting there in 2025 but just buy and hold. It’s definitely getting there.
Theres an orthodontist that feels its mostly bullshit. Look up Mike Mew, Brett Weinstein.
Bretts podcast is fucking amazing.

Its sad how profound this actually is in this day and age.
You know, I never signed up to Twitter/X, I dont use Snapchat, Insta, Tiktok (are there others I forgot?). My Facebook account I deleted maybe 10 years ago... And now nostr:npub16zj60l5q6fcq5dv36mpvtnfzt6lfznahht3qkg4l5vca89n0x8wsqzz8my introduces me to nostr and here I am... still diving through with my eyes wide open, struggling to figure it out...
Is it possible that someone here is interested in my thoughts, my stories and reflections?
Share your thoughts brother.
Welcome
You’re not wrong. Everyone is selfish.
Elon spent 44bil on Twitter because he saw the censorship problem as a threat to society. This was not a selfish act.
Always a pleasure, never a chore. Thanks nostr:npub1r8l06leee9kjlam0slmky7h8j9zme9ca32erypgqtyu6t2gnhshs3jx5dk for hosting the physician formally known as Dr Bear. Great discussion and the 8% rule makes you think. #bitcoin ruled by global liquidity. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/stephan-livera-podcast/id1415720320
He wasn’t a bear today…
Great guest.
I'm not American, so please don't shoot me, especially as I haven't got a gun.
But please, can somebody explain why Elon Musk is so heavily supporting Donald Trump?
I'm only supporting Trump cos he bought 50 burgers in nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h with Bitcoin 😂
But then I'm not eligible to vote.
Elon is on a free speech platform.
Its a two party system.
Conservatives want to censor objectionable material in schools. The left calls that censorship.
Liberals want to make it illegal to say things that hurt peoples feelings .
That is censorship.
US troops are already mobilizing to the Middle East
Nuts
When you sign up on primal, it asks your name, your dob, and address. No ss# but yeah its strike on the back end. Though it doesnt say it when you’re going through the setup. Was very easy.
The signal here is much more clear at this point.
MSM is just a non profitable propaganda amplifier and people are wise to it. Even the libtards in my life don’t trust the media. They know that they lie. Its a party of liars ffs
