I’m coming to the sad conclusion that there really isn’t much going on inside of 90% of people. While they have the capacity and capability to self-reflect and creatively engage in the world, they don’t. They desire ease, comfort, and conformity above all else.

Not only that, but they fill themselves with so much garbage, propaganda, and ideals from others around them who are similar; they mute any real voice or agency that does come from within. They are not interested in the dynamic creative possibilities of the world, but the ease of obedience towards those who know what’s best for them. Their motto is ‘don’t rock the boat’.

These people are fucking dangerous, not because they want to hurt you, but because they lack the capacity to truly self-reflect in a meaningful way. They don’t care about what is true, just that the rules are followed. They don’t want to feel uncomfortable within self-reflection, but to flee into the values of others they have been told are theirs as well and is the only right way to be.

It is a valorization of callousness, a celebration of conformity, and a religious respect for authority to such an extent that their own personal responsibility vanishes.

These are NPCs. They are agents of the system and an integral part of how it functions and projects power. They are little more that drones at the subservience of the state, and only a radical awakening that forces them into the existential angst of what their only life is and means is the only thing that can truly awaken beings that are so asleep that they have forgotten their own being.

Sad but true. 😞

EU Announces Historic Ban on Bitcoin Amid Environmental and Regulatory Concerns*

Brussels, November 2, 2024 – In a groundbreaking decision, the European Union has officially banned the use, mining, and trading of Bitcoin within its 27 member states, citing concerns over environmental impact, economic stability, and regulatory challenges. The landmark decision comes after months of intense debate and speculation, and the announcement is already having significant repercussions across global financial markets.

The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of the ban, with EU officials emphasizing the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining as a primary motivation. Bitcoin mining, which relies on massive computing power to validate transactions on the blockchain, has been widely criticized for its high energy consumption. "The Bitcoin network’s energy usage now rivals that of entire countries. This is an unsustainable drain on resources that contradicts the EU’s Green Deal and climate goals," said EU Commissioner for the Environment, Janice Riedel.

In addition to environmental concerns, EU lawmakers cited the risks associated with the cryptocurrency’s decentralized nature. As Bitcoin is not tied to any government or central bank, officials argued it could facilitate illegal activities, evade tax regulations, and destabilize monetary policy. The European Central Bank (ECB) has warned that the rise of decentralized digital currencies could undermine the EU's financial stability, especially as many citizens begin to view cryptocurrencies as an alternative to traditional banking.

“This ban is a necessary step to protect European financial integrity and prevent Bitcoin from undermining our regulatory framework. We are committed to fostering a safe, controlled environment for digital assets that aligns with EU values,” said European Commissioner for Financial Services, Bernard Voss.

Under the new regulations, Bitcoin exchanges and trading platforms operating within the EU must cease all operations involving Bitcoin within three months. Miners are also expected to shut down by year-end, with heavy fines proposed for violators.

The reaction from the cryptocurrency community has been swift and critical. Industry leaders have condemned the move as “short-sighted” and “detrimental to innovation.” Others argue that banning Bitcoin will merely push users and miners to less-regulated regions rather than curb the overall impact. “Banning Bitcoin won’t stop its global momentum; it will simply move it outside of Europe, potentially costing the EU billions in innovation,” said Alexandra Jensen, CEO of Blockchain Alliance Europe.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin prices dropped sharply following the announcement, losing nearly 20% of its value within hours as European investors moved to sell off holdings. However, many analysts believe this reaction will be temporary, noting that Asia and the Americas remain strong markets for the cryptocurrency.

The EU has indicated it remains open to exploring alternative blockchain technologies and is in the process of developing its own centralized digital currency, the “Digital Euro,” projected for release in 2025.

This bold step by the EU is set to redefine the landscape of digital currencies worldwide, as industry insiders speculate on whether other regions may follow suit.
