Hard truth: Macro isn’t signal.

However best to reach someone.
Helps to start where they are.
Use whatever tool works best for the person you are talking to.
I’m assuming those who are not yet orange pilled are basically immune to economic persuasion.
the dollar objects are you property
the value inside is your work/productive energy.
stealing takes property.
slavery takes work.
debasement is slavery not stealing.
Nothing wrong with both.
I’m just laser focused on the audience.
Orange pilling isn’t about the orange piller.
We often bemoan how normies don’t get it.
But what is our part?
Only a small fraction of all people are in bitcoin, even though bitcoin is universally needed.
I think that is the evidence the current tactics/messaging aren’t effective or effecient.
🎯
When we orange pill, do we want to sound “smart” or be effective?
Sacrafice the Macro for the Moral.

probably the experience of most users, but you will build it back
The allegorical companion to Modern Chains.
It’s like a fresh slice of lemon cake after eating 2 lbs of bacon.
Yep, it forces you to contend with reality.
The comfort found in the bachelor routine begins to feel empty.
Only more and more duty and responsibility seem to satisfy.
Whatever road people take to bitcoin, all that matters is that we get there.

Or approach the task like a node, not a miner.
If you recognize the moral, you don’t have to care about the macro.
When you dig beneath the economic surface, you see the money isn’t broken at all, it actually works too well.
I appreciate @LynAlden and all her work, but conceptualizing our money as fiat only grasps a partial truth, powerful yes, but incomplete.
Moral recognition > Economic calculation
You have to break your own chains.
I’m a friend of Bill.
Usually Bill has pretty good friends too.
modern chains was a 1500 word article that no one would pick up.
so i blew it out into a book.
it “pissed” me off but only to motivate
but I’d rather know the truth.
And it’s proof of work, proof of life.
Hang in there
The hypothesis was that moral recognition has a HUGE asymetrical advantage over economic calculation.
Orange pill like a node, not a miner.
Awesome!
The book only gets more gripping as you go.
An audit just redundantly confirms the recognizable truth: it’s all made up fantasy.
Kindle version of my book is free until Sunday.
The aim is to arm bitcoiners with the moral language to help orange pill their loved ones and introduce the nocoiners to bitcoin through moral recognition not economic calculation.
Please consider helping me spread the message.
“There’s something poetic about the fact that Bitcoin is being used more in the Global South than in the developed world.”
Mike Peterson reflects on what it really means when Bitcoin starts leveling a rigged system.

Thrilling yet terrifying fact: your life has purpose.
the thing that keeps from being convinced by that standard of “fungibility” is that the concept of fungibility itself could have never been achieved for almost all of human history.
also, the material attributes have nothing to do with subjective preference. it’s only the potency of the monetary object.
your preferences don’t affect the durability of gold.
your preferences don’t affect its fungibility either.
not matter how it is sliced, the point is irrelevant
again, fungible is about exchangeablity not identical.
even if we back off “maximal” slightly , it’s potent enough
It’s ok to laugh.
I don’t take it personal.
It’s not a personal theory.
I don’t expect many to be familiar with applying Aristotelian/Thomistic philosophy to modern issues.
It seems your definition of “fungible” is simply, what which is exchanged, which mistakes accident for essence.
but we will just be talking past each other cause we don’t have a common staring point.
Ancient truths:

That is why I wrote my book.
I would rather die than let these chains be my children’s inheritance.
“Saving” myself is one thing.
Stacking sats is the baseline.
But to save my children, and their children’s children…
Someone has to slay the beast.
And now we have to tool, the weapon to do it.
My mission is to help orange pill the nocoiners, and to arm the bitcoiners with the moral language to orange pill their loved ones.

When an author pours their entire soul into a book, it’s impossible to miss.
By the fruit.. amen!

In a positive sense, others have an outside perspective in your behavior. Can see things you cannot. Can be a helpful tool to find the truth.
Acknowledging that utility is good.
but in the negative sense, other’s opinions don’t make truth.
someone that doesn’t “have” to love you does
