Reagan was propped up in a similar situation back in the 80s as well, after a disastrous decade of financial chaos, also an actor, technically Trump is at least somewhat skilled as a thespian, and certainly was successful at reality TV

i think that their craft of creating spectacles has got more and more effective as their ability to surveill has increased... at this point the amount of surveillance completely nullifies any value in democracy at all, now it's just a bunch of advertisers figuring out what they can sell at the highest price for the lowest cost

This is probably the funniest image of a politician I have ever seen.

The wandering man needs this kinda of perseverance

A man with a sense of purpose is already rich beyond his wildest dreams.

A “beautiful human being” is one who lives in harmony with their virtues—wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. Such a person is not fragmented or torn between competing desires, but rather lives with a unity of thought, intention, and action. This inner integrity allows us to remain steady, to live with purpose, and to be at peace with ourselves, regardless of external pressures.

Marcus Aurelius emphasizes that to be truly human is to focus on what our proper work should be. Our work is not to accumulate wealth, power, or influence, but to fulfill our nature by living virtuously, by exercising our reason in the service of what is good, and by contributing to the common good of humanity.

To apply this wisdom, we must constantly return to the question: What is my proper concern? Instead of being scattered by the noise of the world, we need to cultivate that unified self, grounded in reason and virtue. Our humanity is not defined by our circumstances, our successes, or our failures, but by the alignment of our actions with our higher nature.

When we live with this unity, we become not only more fully human but also more resilient, more compassionate, and more capable of navigating the challenges of life with grace.

Few can afford a REAL home now. A place with space - space to learn, space to work, space to relax, space to exercise, space to rest, space to grow, space to host, to bring friends, to play music, to create art, to raise a family.

The best most people can do is afford a small house with little space. Or an apartment, perhaps. A “home” where you can never escape the sights and sounds of your neighbours. A place that can hardly be considered a sanctuary for the body or the soul.

Worse still, most people are reduced to renting. Giving you limited autonomy over your _temporary_ home, and nullifying your ability to truly make it your own.

Were become accustomed to this. We’ve come to accept it as inevitable. The idea of a private place which you are sovereign over, that can become an extension of yourself, an expression of your character, your soul, your dreams and your ambitions, is off the table for most.

That is, unless you can escape the fiat matrix. This is why we Bitcoin. We Bitcoin to take back what is rightfully ours, we Bitcoin to reject the inflationary paradigm that has stripped us of the kind of soulful living that we all yearn for. Bitcoin brings back the dream. And just like the homes we seek sanctuary within, Bitcoin offers us all a true sanctuary from the oppressive regime that has brought us to where we are.

Bitcoin is not just a fight for monetary sovereignty. It’s a fight for our ability to find peace, comfort, joyfulness, and inspiration in the home. It’s a fight for our very soul.

Funny, I haven't looked at the name actually. And I wasn't going to proof you wrong. The story was simply very interesting and would never look at it without you mentioning the quote. Thanks.

i'm not surprised it was actually Mencken

i think Twain said similar things but not precisely that expression in one sentence... there was a number of notorious Diogenes type guys at that time, in the late 1800s
