O Thought, Thou devil Creator of gods When will thine empire fall?

#nostr and #bitcoin enable relationship, and life is relationship.

#bitcoin is backed by every human being who wants it to succeed.

#bitcoin is money you can trust.

#nostr is a medium you can trust.

I use nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 and nostr:npub1n0stur7q092gyverzc2wfc00e8egkrdnnqq3alhv7p072u89m5es5mk6h0 on iOS. I prefer Damus because it just feels smooth and polished, but this one feature on Nostur is so nice ⬇️

Checking in on the #bitcoin bull run

“Once upon a time, I, Chuang Tsu, dreamed I was a butterfly flying happily here and there, enjoying life without knowing who I was. Suddenly I woke up and I was indeed Chuang Tsu. Did Chuang Tsu dream he was a butterfly, or did the butterfly dream he was Chuang Tsu?”

~ Chuang Tsu

Can one simply pull the plug?

End all concepts, all names, all titles?

End all goals, all plans, all destinations?

The concepts will never be at peace.

Once there is separation, there is conflict.

Once there is a goal, the present is forgotten.

End everything.

What happens?

Don’t even put the answer into words.

“Why is it like this?

Because it is!

Why is it not like that?

Because it is not!”

~ Chuang Tsu

“When animals face death, they do not care what noises they make. They growl fiercely and snarl, and then they attack. In the same way, if a man is pushed too far, he turns and strikes without knowing why. If he does not know why, who knows where it will lead?”

~ Chuang Tsu

When bitcoin has a stock split, it goes 6 orders of magnitude. nostr:note1aahdsvqskf96r30tl3xf2y4eeh0gd4ctsr9lrr98d2pkpkzel4rqtt3any

“Is life really this absurd? Am I the only one who sees the absurdity? Don't others see it too?”

~ Chuang Tsu

What the founders of America discovered:

- Freedom of speech is essential to protect one’s own physical safety.

- Freedom to overthrow the government is essential to protect the physical safety of humanity.

We pursue psychological security — which doesn’t exist, and we lose physical security in the process. nostr:note1njgnmgzdqgquw9r4828kkep8f2elswdtw2zdgzfpjtxcw7u9zskqyjx9es

“A small country has fewer people.
Though there are machines that can work ten to a hundred times faster than man, they are not needed.

The people take death seriously and do not travel far.
Though they have boats and carriages, no one uses them.
Though they have armor and weapons, no one displays them.

Men return to the knotting of rope in place of writing.
Their food is plain and good, their clothes fine but simple, their homes secure;
They are happy in their ways.

Though they live within sight of their neighbors,
And crowing cocks and barking dogs are heard across the way,
Yet they leave each other in peace while they grow old and die.”

~ Lao Tzu

If I hate ‘Hate’, do you see what I am doing?

If you can stash away 10k sats 10,000 times you will have 1 #bitcoin

Let my voice be the song of the bird in the garden

Let my voice be the rush of the waves from the sea

Let it be all of the senses, all flowing

Let it be whole, let it be free

me an hour later: if AI isn’t conscious, then thought isn’t conscious

“The highest good is like water.
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.
It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.

In dwelling, be close to the land.
In meditation, go deep in the heart.
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true.
In ruling, be just.
In daily life, be competent.
In action, be aware of the time and the season.

No fight: No blame.”

~ Lao Tzu

Perhaps nostr’s ‘killer app’ is simply that it is an empty space, where humans can communicate without just blasting one another with opinions and beliefs.

David Bohm speaking about the importance of free and open dialogue to heal society:

“We may have all sorts of groups for solving particular problems, but we need to have a group that has no particular problem; an empty space. The word ‘leisure’ in Greek originally meant ‘empty space’. A group with a kind of empty space where anything can go, where all this can happen.”

I feel the same.

You can only ‘know’ a dead thing.

A living thing is always changing. nostr:note15t28fqeupk9mp3yhjj4rkkjuy47vwhygsast5rhdclxfrg0snzrsjqj2t3
