hey Bitcoiners, "freedom tech" / sovereignty folks:
- love the enthusiasm
- hate the narrow scope of understanding
learn about systems. learn about externalities. be brutally honest about your ignorance.
> imagine *A* server.
emphasis mine.
to be clear, this sort of news is not surprising, and i was not presenting Al Jazeera as a completely unbiased source.
but it does seem like you were presenting the Washington Post piece as unbiased, or needing no commentary. to me, it seems like a factory tour where you don't get to look behind some of the doors. but they sure as hell got photos of those very scary terrorist tunnels.
so bomb the hospital then? kill the civilians because there *might* be resistance among them?
did you forget the '/s'?
gender is a formal axiomatic system. this is not obvious, because language serves both to describe our world and allow us to reason about it.
this is to say that ideas about gender, ways of describing how arbitrarily messy humans *fit* into genders, will always either be:
-incomplete but consistent
-complete but inconsistent
a lot of discussion would rather insist that restrictive binary gender ideologies are complete AND consistent.
which is absurd.

tl;dr: large deposits of cargon neutral hydrogen gas may exist, possibly in sufficient quantities to replace our use of CO2 producing fossil fuels.
I'll bet you that if this turns out to be viable – a wonderful miracle that would allow our industrial civilization to continue as is for decades to come – environmentalists are going to hate it because deep down they're really a human hating death cult. Same way that back in the 70's they shifted to being against nuclear power, because it had the potential to allow civilization to thrive without causing pollution.
> decades
tech shortsightedness is the death cult.
is this referencing the Nostr unconference in Tokyo?
nym refers to anonymity, or anonymous, and is used to describe a lifestyle that promotes personal privacy and the benefits of anonymity.
nym friendly/first means the conference respects visitors' privacy and desire to remain anonymous, and visitors should be respectful of privacy and put that first when interacting with each other.
this is hilarious, and a bit sad. i love the bridge.
and i don't load images by default. that's just stupid.

economic supply chains, monetary policy, and military action make us all neighbors. we're interconnected. ignoring that solves nothing and ripens you for exploitation (tho IMO that's already happened).
local matters, don't get me wrong, but if you zoom in *right now* you're just pretending your actions don't have the reach they actually possess and externalizing real, tangled, obtuse problems.
there is a truce between the animals at the watering hole, but the lion cannot kill the wildebeest he never meets.
by "communal value" i do not necessarily mean a centralized pool funded by taxation. i mean Earth. the family unit is not equipped to deal with problems on that level, but that's where governments operate.
saying governments should or shouldn't do things while focusing on an insufficient solution to Earth sized problems is not really solving anything.
your hot take is a distraction from the larger grifts. governmental power is here to stay (for better and worse, there are always trade-offs), largely because there are many governments fighting for dominance.
we need to transform governance, not dismiss it.
it seems like you've assumed my position and argued against that, but not answered my question.
in the "non-standard" case of a childless person, what societal structures do you imagine existing that would help that person continue to contribute to their community into old age?
how do we handle and mitigate unequal or fraudulent distribution of a communal pool of value?
