I am amazed by how much the tone and readability of my feed can be altered by one follow.

Ge nostr. I believe now is the time for me to sit back, relax, let everything play out as it will for a little while. I have little sense of urgency. I own a towel.

Ge nostr. Noticing that I am beginning to make the base assumption that any image I see or statement made online (or on television) has been altered or authored by AI.

Processing new information is now entirely dependent on verification. Some might say, always has been.

As a sugar addict, I can tell you that is very dangerous to me. May work for some, but even a hint of sweetener and I can put myself on a sugar binge that will last a day or more. Maybe someday I will regain better control, but for now, it is safer to avoid sweeteners altogether, regardless of how natural they may be.

Also because I am obese, any setback to weight loss is also dangerous. A little honey taking me from 24 BMI to 25 BMI is different from reverting fron 32 BMI to 33 BMI on the way to 26. I put in the work for each of those BMI units, and to backslide is pyschologically impactful, never mind the physical health impact.

I think we're wrong.

We've been trying to answer the question of existence (or being). I'm sensing this is somewhat misplaced, and all thought depending on this question and its answers is misleading and tainted by this root focus. This affects most "first principles" reasoning.

I'm considering that existence/being is the wrong frame. But that begs the question of what would be the right frame, the right question to resolve and ponder? I'm thinking it is one of manifestation. What we choose to see, to create, and of course, to feel.

This allows us to reimagine action, sensation, connection - a different approach to our lives.

I don't know where I may end up with these ideas. I'm sure to experience a lot along the way, though.

I am also an obese bitcoiner, struggling daily with a sugar addiction. Will I ever not be obese? Time will tell. Will I ever not be addictes to sugar? I doubt it.

I will say that oils were not that hard to give up. I assume that I still consume some when dining out, but not enough to matter. I've definitely experienced benefits directly related to not having oils in my diet, including a much higher resistance to sunburn.

I was reflecting today on how many ways people poison themselves, gladly, in the name of health. I don't care if someone wants to eat a plant. Sure, they are ingesting whatever plant toxins it has, but hopefully in a very low amount compared to what may cause harm. I think processed "foods" are possibly the worst offenders, along with "supplements". Saw a jar or powder claiming "Fiber - with real sugar!". To me, that reads "cardboard, with real cocaine!". And to be fair, cocaine might be preferable, and do less damage! People consume this shit because the govt and pharma tells them so, and poison themselves as a result.

So go ahead, eat some berries. Maybe some lettuce or a cucumber or whatever. I choose not to, but you do you. If you're not a sugar addict, maybe have some honey once in a while. But don't eat shit out of boxes, plastic bottles, etc. Your food should be recognizable as its ingredients. Just my thoughts as an obese bitcoiner.

Done this successfully with help from a dev. And now I don't run any public lightning nodes. I definitely run a bitcoin node, though.

Gn nostr. Started nostr:nprofile1qqsx45yrjtgm4glklaafgz0z4309gs6cwfja3d99s8rqvlvgagcptpqpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0njld4g's book last night. I think I'm almost to the part where he starts writing.

I'll resemble that remark. It's a solid visual anyway. 8-track cranking radar love.

Yeah. I try not to worry about the source of criticism. At the end of the day, it is me. Sort of a radical responsibility thing.

But I get what you mean. This is why I'm happy to no longer be active on other social platforms, and happierfor it.

Yes. As I just phrased it, relentlessly optimistic. Moreso than ever. Maybe in a Voltaire sense. Not sure about dreams, but they haven't been nightmares.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY HAVE A REASONABLE POINT.

IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE TO QUESTION THE EFFICACY OF ONE'S OWN PRACTICES.

ONCE QUESTIONED, THE OUTCOME MAY STILL BE GFY.

Gn nostr. I feel like there is much I could say, but wisdom would dictate I STFU. I believe I need to read Svetski's new book. I am also pursuing a belief in relentless optimism, while simultaneously believing everything is fucked. As it should be, if things are to improve.

26. And that felt about right at the time, and still feels pretty optimal.

Gn nostr.

I hold a larger strategic reserve than Microstrategy. Tou can take that to the bank! (But why would you?)

And if you are in a part of the world that uses the metric system, zap 10 sats per cm and watch hilarity ensue!

Gn nostr.

- My 21 sats is apparently still worth 2c. The rest is a rounding error!

- Bitcoin will always be worth 58k, no matter how much the US govt tries to inflate their way to new ATHs.

House internet is down for cable maintenance/upgrade. Watching Run Ronnie Run on DVD. This has aged prettty well, if you haven't watched it, I would recommend it.

Thx for posting this. Been a big fan of this writer for quite some time, although I admit to skipping most of the vax content he publishes. I've kept some DMSO in the medicine cabinet for most of my life, as my parents knew some of its uses and kept it in theirs.

I've also been sharing this content with select friends that could immediately benefit.

GM Moscow.

Planning to buy the top with my bonus check on Thursday. Fri seems like a good day for the 58k gang.
