Well, its nuanced. Any masonic historian can tell you all about the circumstantial evidence that the masons of a particular lodge did the Boston teaparty. Nothing is provable, but it really does look like they did it, and masonic historians don't bother with trying to keep it secret. And I would say French masons were involved with the French revolution. Again, only circumstantial evidence. And the Illuminati was started by some masons, although iirc, the founder quit masonry or was forced out - something along those lines. I only know any of this because of masonic YouTube channels. There's actually quite a few, and a few of them go pretty deep into the esoteric. That's where you can really see the Jewish influence. All of the symbolism is at least adjacent to kabbalistic. (Obligatory note : I dislike Zionism, not Jews)

BUT... There's a simpler and IMO more believable explanation than a unifying conspiracy. The organization is just super easy to infiltrate. Practically anyone can get in. They're starving for new members. Anyone with some bad business to do has the option of doing it under the cover of freemasonry. I would bet that various agencies (like mossad) tell their minions to join freemasonry so that the conspiracy theory points there instead of the real culprits. As an organization, its swiss cheese of security. Or it appears to be. I'm not in.

There are a lot of more esoteric organizations that are connected with freemasonry, but not part of it. Most seem to have been founded by masons. Some require you to be a master mason before joining. And most are total bullshit scams, and masons will tell you that.

The deal about secrecy seems like its really just a matter of principle. They assert their right to keep secrets. Seems reasonable to me. We assert our right to privacy. People who would deny us privacy don't give a shit about the difference between privacy and secrecy. And like I said before, they are the swiss cheese of security, so I don't think they actually have any secrets. Maybe cooking recipes.

Sorry for all the words. Nuance and brevity are rarely found together.

I strongly suspect freemasonry was infiltrated and used to propagate Zionism among Christians. But I don't think the masons have ever purposely conspired to do anything as a whole group. Specific lodges, yeah probably, but not the whole thing.

when i was working on a bitcoin fork called parallelcoin, i built out a whole upgrade for the protocol including a hardfork mechanism, totally redesigned block schedule and difficulty adjustment, and a GUI interface for the wallet and controller

i did most of the work, a little of it was done by my colleague, but it took about 2 years and was early alpha by the end of that period

i think that this is a typical timeline for a decentralised, crowd-sourced protocol as well, i think that nostr is still alpha, mid alpha even, because there is a lot of easy improvements to the protocol at this point that haven't happened yet but many are working in parallel on various parts of it

i think 3 years is how long it takes to get to beta, for a full blown protocol, for one developer to build a system out

there is almost no teams doing dev for nostr, maybe only damus and primal, almost everything else is one man bands, so this kinda dictates the timeline, and part of the reason is that we still don't have an optimal mechanism for sharing our specifications and deciding on how to settle differences between them, it's still hard to even find new proposed ones because there isn't even a convention for how to mark the name of a nip-proposal in the PRs of the nips repo, and some devs have already raced ahead (Stella and her crew, Pablo, and some others) making a wiki protocol, which will sooner or later do it, once enough people get fed up with how slowly the governance is working on the github nips repo

here's the thing:

this is a decentralised protocol

you don't need permission to try something

really you just need relay and client devs working closer together

You might know... Would slowing down block times for bitcoin require a hard fork?

#AskNOstr #bitcoin

If we ever wanted to slow down block times, would that require a hard fork or could we do it with soft fork?

Because I think we will want it to be slower... Not faster. Like 3 hrs-ish. In a couple hundred years.

Seems related to the art of saying "okay," but then still just doing whatever you want.

When making coffee, make sure you're in a good mood. Happy brewer, happy brew.

I don't know why this matters, but I know it does. I can taste the mood of whoever made the coffee.

If you're still too sleepy or didn't sleep well and you desperately need that first cup, try to remember to go slow. Think happy thoughts. Maybe have a nice proverb or happy pictures by the coffee machine.

Just a thought... Maybe that small improvement will change other things about your day. Butterfly effect.

I think nihilism is more like choosing the lesser of two evils, or compromising with evil because you think you have no choice. Taking the third option doesn't seem nihilistic at all to me. Trusting that *something* else can happen is faith, and faith is the opposite of nihilism.
