Whats your opinion on Red light therapy??

Decided to not attend/speak at BTC Vegas this year because Las Vegas is just so… Fiat 😆

High time preference behavior everywhere, fiat food, alcohol, gambling, etc.. Nothing that aligns with my lifestyle.

If going, do yourself a favor and go for a hike at red rock canyon! 🤗

my husband and I sold our home in 2021.

we traveled the US living out of our car and in AirBnBs.

we started house and pet sitting in 2023.

sold our car in 2024.

summer of 2024, we took our house & pet sitting internationally and have now been living out of 2 backpacks for a total of 2 years while working remote jobs.

I’ve learned that less is more, that connection with strangers is life-changing, animals are one of the sweetest gifts to humans, & living differently than the majority of the world can be isolating at times.

that’s why I’m thankful for this space & nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq9kcnkt; to connect with people who want to live differently, live by their convictions, & create a better world.

would love to know if there are any other nomads or house/pet sitters in this space!

The quality of light as a health benefit is quite compelling. I have always done better in bright sunny climes and been miserable in sunlight-deprived houses. Ditto I prefer later sunlit nights. Is there also not some connection to Heat? The Closer to body temperature our environment, the better we perform.

Just ripped a spontaneous podcast with some top-tier Irish bitcoiners to discuss the recent Conor McGregor posts on Bitcoin, how we ensure he's guided away from shitcoinery and toward the BTC-only path, and how sound money will fix Ireland's most pressing problems.

To me, the answer of how to get more people on nostr is simple.

It’s all about exclusive content. If there are a few good content creators who post exclusively to nostr, that creates intrigue.

The problem is most nostr content creators cross post to YouTube and/or twitter so there’s no reason to check nostr to see their stuff.

I’ve dedicated the last 4 years of my life studying the dynamics of social media & human connection all with health in mind.

Inner connection to God, connection to nature, and connection to others in real life is the ultimate way.

But, in this digital world, NOSTR is the best path forward that I have seen.

“People follow incentives not advice.”

~ James Clear

The incentive of current social media platforms is to increase shareholder value.

To do this they must increase revenue (or potential revenue).

Their revenue models are ads (and now AI).

To sell more ads and generate more data for AI, they need more of your attention.

So they designed the platforms to get you HOOKED.

They’d rather you scrolling than at the dinner table with your family.

They have trickled these incentives down the lane to the super users of the platforms: the creators.

Creators are algorithmically rewarded to also get you HOOKED.

Every good creator knows the first three seconds/line of the post is the most important.

It’s called THE HOOK, fishing for our attention.

Our attention is an unconscious thing.

The most successful hooks tend to be negative even though we don’t consciously desire negative things.

But negative media draws us in for some reason.

We see this through history books (mostly talk about wartime when most of actual history is peacetime), main stream news media, click bait articles, and now social media hooks & comments.

Because these hooks work the best at grabbing your attention, more negative media is fed your way creating a vicious cycle of negative consumption incentivizing more negative creation and the vicious cycle continues.

NOSTR changes these incentive structures and with it the incentives structures trickle down the lane to the creators.

Nostr is a protocol not a company so increasing shareholder value is not the incentive.

With this, your attention is not the primary incentive either.

Because anyone can build on top of the Nostr protocol, the platforms incentives shift too.

They become more competitive with each other.

They must focus on value creation versus revenue creation (often mistaken as the same thing) otherwise the users will move to the other platforms (effortlessly) as the content & followers lives on everywhere through the Nostr protocol.

This value creation incentive is trickled down the lane to the super users: the creators.

We see this through Zaps (the act of sending Sats which are micro payments of Bitcoin).

Creators want the Zaps (money) not just your attention.

So users don’t reward creators with their attention but rather with the Zaps (money) they send them.

Users are much more CONSCIOUS of who they send their Sats (money) too because it’s public and actual money.

On the other hand, they are way less conscious of where their attention goes because it is private and can be tricked unconsciously into negative things via HOOKS.

Even if users attention goes to negative things, users are way less likely to send their money to those negative things.

So rather than creators just trying to HOOK you in for the algorithmic rewards, they must give you VALUE which is returned back to them via ZAPS (micro payments of Bitcoin) determined directly by the user receiving the value.

Nostr apps like Primal can then reward algorithmic discovery based off of zaps rather than pure attention.

So rather than platforms like Primal algorithmically pushing content that was most successful at HOOKING people, it pushes content that was consciously deemed most valuable.

This creates a more CONSCIOUS cycle of consuming leading to more POSITIVE consumption further incentivizing more VALUE based positive creation.

In nostr:nprofile1qqsgqke57uygxl0m8elstq26c4mq2erz3dvdtgxwswwvhdh0xcs04scpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9ws7rg8rz article on social media he mentions Elons tweet saying “X is like the collective consciousness of Earth.”

Elon understands more than most that X is also becoming the collective consciousness of AI as it is trained on its data.

Considering X’s and other social media model incentivizing negative media, and the understanding that this negative media in away becomes the collective consciousness of Earth and AI, is this not something we should be concerned with?

I’d much rather the collective consciousness of Earth and AI be filled with more positive media.

NOSTR, although not perfect, at least incentivizes more of that.

If Elon is truly concerned with AI safety, I hope he considers moving X’s entire infrastructure to Nostr when Nostr is ready for it.

P.S.

Collective Consciousness is truly found within not on X if you look for it so inner connection to God, nature, and others in real life is still the ultimate way.

So it’s confirmed Australia is moving forward to tax unrealised gains in superannuation accounts exceeding $3 million effective from 1 July 2025.  

I think that brings the tax rate to 30% on earnings for total super balances above $3 million. Ouch for those people who will be forced to sell assets…illiquid assets 😳

One of the biggest misconceptions is that these kinds of taxes are “only for the ultra-wealthy” and not worth worrying about…

I had a radiologist from the Cleveland clinic, a podiatrist, and a family doctor at my retreat this weekend along with a physicians assistant that came as my karma yogi/helper. I'm so honored and humbled that medical professionals came to learn from me about circadian health, yoga, and all things wellness.

I also had a yoga teacher that’s been in the space since 2012 and a repeat participant that came back after 2 years. I am FAR from an expert but can say I’m DAMN proud of myself.

The weekend was filled with grounding, movement, raw milk, red light therapy, sound bowls, breath-work, meditation, sauna, cold plunge, nature, and connection. My heart is so full ❤️

Do you know if there's a red light setting for Android devices as well?

In 1966 the US government (DARPA) tested the impact of radio frequency EMFs on the cognition of monkeys in a secret project called "Pandora"

The results were startling & covered up for decades.

They used the same frequency EMF your Wi-Fi and 5G phone use.

After 10hrs of exposure for 12 days..the monkey had a "slowdown in the ability to time work functions"

on the 13th day the monkey "further degraded, stopped working completely and appeared to be in a deep sleep"

they then gave the monkey 5 days of rest before irradiating it again and this time it took 8 days for slowdown to appear, 10 days for the animal to return to a deep sleep condition

they gave the monkey 5 days of rest once again, but then ended the study and at that point "the monkey had not returned to normal" according to the study report logs.

The intensity of the RF signal (2.4-4GHz) was 5mW/cm2, perfectly safe based on former and current safety thresholds.

Second: Saw some carnivore maxis posting earlier about how fruit is bad for you, been bred to be extra sweet, etc.

I eat a lot of meat, and I find the absolutism and clarity of thought of carnivore appealing. But I don’t think it’s ultimately correct.

There’s an old Buddhist parable about two monks, sworn to celibacy, walking in a forest. They come across a pretty, young woman who needs help crossing a pond. One of the monks picks her up, carries her across, drops her off at the other side.

The monks walk for a while, the second one (who did not pick up the girl) seething. Finally, he can’t take it anymore, blurts out: “What the hell were you thinking back there at the pond?” First one replies: “Oh, the girl? I put her down at the other side of the pond, sounds like you’ve been carrying her the entire time.”

The issue isn’t whether he carried the girl, but the attachment to it. Do you really think eating an apple every day or some berries is going to severely harm a healthy adult? I smoke cigars — I suppose those are bad too. The point isn’t to avoid everything with sugar that could spike your blood glucose or require an insulin response. The point is not to be an addict, using cheap, available sugars as little dopamine rewards.

Enjoy eating some carbs if you like, or be carnivore if you like too. So long as you feel healthy and have energy, I suspect both are fine. But drugging yourself with fruit (or patting yourself on the back over your purity for avoiding it) is IMO the error.

I am not obese, on the contrary I want to gain some weight and I don't know how to achieve it.
