I went into the local supermarket yesterday and noticed that there were maybe two dozen types of produce (all of which had been sprayed with poison and grown in nutrient starved soil), and I thought to myself,

“What the hell are we doing to ourselves?”

It’s sick, sad, and hard to come to terms with, but we are being fed poison for the most part.

Until election season is over, Twitter has reached rock-bottom to me.

I won’t say it’s unusable, since I am using it, but I have to navigate around its main thing to continue with the positive elements of the network effect that exists there.

And so many accounts are super biased on any given topic to a clearly irrational degree. I keep seeing things that seem like satire, but instead they are genuinely written to appeal to lower information people in a way that, from my perspective, is highly patronizing to them.

I find it so distasteful. The prior election year 2020 had a lot of polarizing elements obviously, but 2024 has more clearly conscious polarizing elements going on. Large influencer accounts whose motives are clear toward a broader audience with talking points geared toward child-level rhetoric and civic understanding. You can watch them as an observer speaking to their flock as though they were children.

They’ll scream at you all day telling you eggs are bad for your cholesterol and then feed you sweetened corn syrup juice and tell you it’s your fault if you become diabetic

What’s up #nostr

I need more accounts to follow. My feed is looking like github on here recently 😂

I really feel like nostr could thrive as a place to find those with similar interests, communities, etc. But the tools still feel incredibly lacking there 😔

I have about 3000 sats that I received from zaps. I want to pass this on ⚡️

Sending 100 sats to first 30 people to reply to this post.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE FACEBOOK, TIKTOK, LINKEDIN, OR X BECAUSE IT MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU GOING FORWARD?

THAT IS THE PROBLEM. NOSTR WILL FIX THAT IF WE MAKE IT THE STANDARD.

THE DOMINANT PLATFORMS ARE EFFECTIVELY SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEMS. SURVEILLED, MANIPULATED, AND CONTROLLED BY A SMALL FEW. YOUR LIFE IS IN THEIR HANDS. NOT YOURS.

USE NOSTR. TAKE BACK CONTROL. LIVE FREE.

I’ve never considered myself left nor right, but more of a centrist. I tried approaching issues from a pragmatic point of view - consider both sides of the argument and favor a rational argument. I also held my beliefs loosely as mostly treated them as a collection of data points that informs my opinion. But over the years it seems the left has shifted so far to the left that having moderate views is now considered far right (or so they tell me). By their own definitions and name calling, people who exercised honest judgement in the most balanced way possible are now considered far right extremists. These titles felt very odd to me and I went from feeling like I fit into society pretty well to some sort of an outcast. It’s refreshing to see there are people who are still sane and value rationality over group think and hivemind hate.

Or perhaps it’s just the media propaganda trying to shape public opinion - I don’t really care anymore. We have other things to focus on, let animals fight animals in their own cages.

My journey from North Korea to freedom taught me that true freedom is more than escaping physical borders. It’s about breaking free from systems of control. So I see Bitcoin as a tool to help people regain their freedom, not as a matter of being a "Bitcoiner," but as a way to empower individuals to protect their fundamental human rights.
