i’m 1/3 of that way through that, but busy refining my own book. if the audio book was out i would have it done already

the draft is done, but i finished citations and word by word refinement for the first 3 chapters.

37/210

if i can hold that edge for the rest of it, im so fucking pumped

Pro Dad Tip: LED pool balls raise the fun level of bath time to the power of 11.

it’s a good indicator ur on the right track

getting a home expresso machine might have been a bad life decision for my heart

It’s weird realizing the work you’re doing today might be the most important thing you work on in your entire life.

#bitcoin

might be cooking up another one for you 🤣

This level of refinement is tedious work, but oddly satisfying.

it’s slow, i’m only like 30/209

but holy shit

i really like the original draft, but this new revision is putting it to shame.

I like the idea of #Zapping instead of liking, so i started with 21, to train myself to #Zap unprohibitely at anything I liked.

Now it’s about upping the number of sats until i get the value for value just right.

The more time I spend on #nostr, the more valuable the content becomes. I love stacking sats, but sending sats is growing on me.

but we are moral agents, certainly we don’t passively trust the current

i get the utility of recognizing working with the current. harnessing to get where we need to be quickly

the passivity of floating in the metaphor gives me pause.

close to a 5 year quest, but i almost got the splits. the last 2 inches

We make a living by what we get.

We make a life by what we give.

“no” requires understanding understanding and conviction.

it’s a powerful tool

if all X support is exhausted, then maybe some type of legal action?

sue seeking some type of judicial hammer to break the X administrative red tape.

especially with the book launch, you suffered damages

it’s not my principle.

it’s objectively the key that unlocks the trust issue.

a 1 bit block is more centralized, but you miss the point

the chain would cease its monetary function.

decentralization being primary doesn’t mean only.

seems like you are either being purposfully obtuse to pretend you don’t understand design principles to troll, or you checked your rationality at the door snd this isn’t rational discourse nor will will ever be.

either way, ur a waste of my time.

🤣 I know principled thinking is hard.

principles drive the priorities

u strawman cause there is not wiggling out of the incoherence of making privacy prime.

a block needs a size, no shit.

what principle is prime in the decision? that’s the question, and if our answer reintroduces trust into the equation, it demonstrates an inability to recognize thr problem

principles not particulars.

essence not accidents.

“magic number” thinking is the latter

maybe it is sufficient for today, but u have to trust it wil be sufficient tomorrow, and the next, and the next.

when trust is not necessary, asking for trust is the first symptom of deceit
