i wouldn’t ask you to trust me, but verify for yourself, if you honestly push on materialism a bit, it falls apart.

you will not find a coherent explaination for why why anything exists instead of nothing.

why anything is ordered. categories, distinction, all morality, good/bad, better/worse, syntax, semantics, numbers, all the immaterial phenomena we rely upon and use everyday, have no basis in a materialistic world

in short, rationality and freewill go away

i was a materialist before, so i get its appeal

it’s a long process, but just like stacking sats, if there isn’t structural damage to the bones, or torn ligaments, u can fix ur shit and be almost just as a good as new.

5 years ago my back was done and knees hurt, couldn’t jog half a block, but i move better now that i did as a kid. 🤯

knees over toes guy got me started

if you didn’t suffer an acute injury, and it just happened over time, it’s most likely coming from your hips.

can keep your fiat metaphysics

there is hope for your. the truth of objective reality brought you to bitcoin, if ur ego will allow it and u follow its logic, we end at the same place

agreed, not saying it’s a good move, just offering my pin the tail on the donkey since u put it up as a question.

embarrassed probably

especially if people look up to you and u fall for something silly.

While #bitcoin will demolish #fiat in time, saving those we love and hold dear requires leadership and moral courage.

While I understand the temptation to retreat into the comfort of the orange pilled, social capital is to precious to abandon.

Reminds me of Cicero’s warning about the great men abandoning their duty to lead so they can tend their fish ponds.

I might have had to orange pill myself, but I am duty bound to lead those I love out of this fiat hellscape.

if ur looking for “friends” on social media, then fiat friends is all u will find.

#nostr is a great tool for communication, totally has a function, but even it cannot replace real social connection and human relationships

falsehood isn’t a private matter.

gnostics can’t let you be cause your life highlights everything they have wrong

love me some Aristotle

all his main works make it into my book

exactly, their beef is with the nature of reality itself. the world a cruel prison, which must be destroyed.

muscles aren’t “inflexible”

they are just weak.

so weak your nervous system doesn’t trust that range of motion

accepting that fundamental physiological truth was a game changer for me.

without kids, you don’t technically have a whole self, ur just an incomplete part
