congratz. i got 2, hoping to add some more.
dad brain is real. it helps you channel focus and energy, productivity skyrockets
I quit trying to quit, and then the Army made me quit in basic training.
I was so terrified to pick it back up it stuck. almost 18 years now.
so there is always that, join the military, but i wouldn’t recommend.
but maybe that’s how you reverse psychology yourself.
if you can’t quit, you have to join the military. 🤣
seriously, gl and i hope you the best.
it’s amazing how powerful a preemptive clarifying sentence here and there can be for a book.
this book is really coming together
yes, but it’s super easy to store public key backups everywhere.
and what of post-trust societies?
when verification removes the need for trust entirely in some domains?
i have to think that’s even better.
of course that doesn’t negate all trust.
when the baby sitter comes over, we have to trust they won’t steal the children, but when verification is possible, trust is only a liability
the moral analysis of our monetary system and bitcoin.
the masses will not learn about bitcoin through ecomonic and financial investment language
it’s just too big to swallow.
not all people are capable of digesting such info.
but all people are moral agents and they recognize moral truth without having to process and untangle complex info.
that’s the premise of my book anyways. we will see how it holds up
that why we are here
?
I sent that an hour after your last message
federal laws are mutable.
even the constitution
if he gets the political capital to change them, it’s politics.
if he breaks the laws, that’s immoral
no different than changing a speed limit
awesome
just knowing someone is into bitcoin on nostr tells you a decent amount about how they view the world
i’m sure there are some that wouldn’t return the sats and break a promise, but my gut says they are few and far between
knowledge is the asymmetry
people sell because they are ignorant to the economic realities of our system
or they are trying to prey on others to extract from them
if people need to spend bitcoin, that’s fine, that’s what you do with money 🤣
that’s not buying and selling speculative investment
ironically, bitcoin is probably the least speculative thing out there. it’s literally immutable
philosophicslly, it has primacy, meaning it comes first
physics presupposes metaphysics
but real is real, a category of belonging which does not admit of more or less.
like we are both “equally” human.
no human is more human than another in principle
but particulars, we can be more
or less. if we say human beings have agency, and person A behaves more like an agent than person B, therefore they are acting “more human” that’s fine.
or all humans have length, and this person is taller than that person, therefore the tall guy is “more human” than the short dude.
abstract categories/principles vs concrete particulars
careful with “on your own terms”
gnostics create fiat with their terms, pretending their speculations change reality.
i get the need to pull out of the delusion of normalcy, its just important to understand the escape isn’t worth much if its only to your own delusion.
as the alcoholics say, life on life’s terms
can’t do better than reality, only worse
i have optimism it will be
i don’t know if a criteria for genuine trust is articulable, or it just comes down to a feeling based on mutual experience
what essence of btc is its removal of trust from the equation.
interesting idea to inject it back in
