Banks + Nation States merging to suck energy out of citizens with peak efficiency = Apex parasite.
The opposite of peace is fear.
The first time I watched Starship Troopers was in a tent in Saudi Arabia while "enforcing" the no fly zone over southern Iraq (Operation Southern Watch). I just watched it again (26 years later) and ouch it is timeless. Obsession leads to self-delusion, which leads to ruin
I use to think bullshit was was groose but since I joined Nostr I have realized that I am so Bullshit (bullish)

"Who knows, maybe you will be different" Ouch!
Emotional traps are the quickest way to lose all of your power.
So I'll walk through this night
Stumbling blindly toward the light
And do the next right thing
And with the dawn what comes then?
When it's clear that everything will never be the same again
Then I'll make the choice to hear that voice
And do the next right thing - Frozen 2-
we have an absolutely fixed amount of time and a profoundly important knowledge and coordination problem in deciding what to do with it.

AML/KYC is a global system of warrantless surveillance that has made constitutional protections like the subpoena process irrelevant.
Some speculate that Moore was referring to natural resources when he said “The nature of exponentials is that you push them out, and eventually disaster happens.” in a 2005 interview with Techworld magazine. When I consider the "disaster" I see it applying to the availability of personal #privacy and #sovereignty. Instead of these being default in the application of this exponential growth of computational power, it has been intentionally weaponized against us. Personal privacy and sovereignty will never be default, it requires deliberate effort, time, attention and dare I say sacrifice.
Moore’s Law helps explain the exponential growth we’ve witnessed in computational power due to increasing density and falling costs, over the last 50 years.

If I give you a thousand words, can you draw a picture that conveys all this information?
So long as we have a way to navigate this vast
cosmos of possible technologies and zero in on
promising approaches, we can obtain constant
exponential growth - even in an environment where
pushing the envelope and finding something more
useful than the current best practice gets
progressively harder.

Apparently Amazon review gate keepers are amazingly slow to publish people's reviews. It's been 3 and a half days since I submitted...
