I'm still new to the subject myself, but I can dig into my YT history to find some videos on the topic as well for you. It's just one part of my bigger rabbit hole about electrolytes and how to deal with mineral deficiencies.

#Geoengineering is without a doubt the darkest rabbit hole I've ever explored. Most others have a fairly clear solution at the end of the tunnel (Bitcoin for example), which you can adopt to protect yourself and your loved ones, which satisfies the selfish side of all of us.

With geoengineering, there is no quick fix you can make to protect yourself. It's a harsh, brutal realization that every breath we take in 2024, we are inhaling toxic nanoparticles of aluminum and other chemicals from the MASSIVE-scale spraying operations that are going on in every corner in the globe.

It ruins things that you once loved. I used to enjoy going running shirtless in the forest in the rain. Now I know that rain is toxic, and doing this increases my exposure. (You can easily test this in any body of water near you by the way; just grab a sample from the local lake or snowpack and test it for aluminum, and you'll see off-the-charts levels no matter where you live)

All of this is a big reason why so many people brush off the #chemtrails topic, even when deep down they have a feeling that yet again, the "conspiracy theorists" have hit the nail on the head.

This truth SUCKS. There's no fluffing this one up with rainbows and sunshine. (No literally you can't get any sunshine, there's a constant haze over it now)

But we have to dig deep, push through the dark realizations, all the dead bees, dying trees, and rapid disappearance of birds and other wildlife populations you used to see in your childhood nature sanctuaries, which you now understand why...

If we don't raise hell over this and give it every damn bit of firepower we've got NOW, the human race, and the entire web of life, are fucked.

We have no other choice but to push forward, by making as much noise as possible (and buying #bitcoin harder to disconnect these psychopaths from the money printer!), so we can give ourselves the best possible chance to blow this regime of evil to smithereens, and finally give mother earth the breathing room she needs to heal herself from all the damage the worst humans on the planet have inflicted on her.

It's true that we can't stop it in the near term, but what we can do is learn what we can do to mitigate the effects in our own bodies.

This is why I've taken an interest in mineral balancing to address environmental metal poisoning. It doesn't solve the problem, but it gives us a way to better maintain our health.

As others have said, maybe he's following in the steps of Jack Dorsey.

But he could also be looking to co-opt the open source movement now that it may be the only viable path to compete with OpenAI.

I want to say #NostrFixesThis, and in the long run I believe it ultimately does, but his target audience is people who still listen to broadcast radio (who are probably not our prime adoption market).

War is always bad for the economy.

You can see this clearly if you ignore all the money, the pieces of paper with dead presidents inked on them, and the bits in the computers. Money can psychologically manipulate people, but fundamentally money is just an accounting system. You can always look strictly at the real economy, real goods and services, and see whether things are improving or degrading.

War directs people away from production and towards destruction. People who could be growing carrots or building iPhones instead build bombs that are one-time use, and destroy not only the materials and effort that went into building them, but also the target. In aggregate war causes people to produce less and destroy more.

Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson" Chapter II "The Broken Window" explains how this can be true while at the same time there can be the appearance of being good for the economy.

"A young hoodlum, say, heaves a brick through the window of a baker's shop. The shopkeeper runs out furious, but the boy is gone. A crowd gathers, and begins to stare with quiet satisfaction at the gaping hole in the window and the shattered glass over the bread an pies. After a while the crowd feels the need for philosophic reflection. And several of its members are almost certain to remind each other or the baker that, after all, the misfortune has its bright side. It will make business for some glazier. As they begin to think of this they elaborate upon it. How much does a new plate glass window cost? Two hundred and fifty dollars? That will be quite a sum. After all, if windows were never broken, what would happen to the glass business? Then, of course, the thing is endless. The glazier will have $250 more to spend with other merchants, and this in turn will have $250 more to spend with still other merchants, and so ad infinitum. The smashed window will go on providing money and employment in every-widing circles. The logical conclusion from all this would be, if the crowd drew it, that the little hoodlum who threw the brick, far from being a public menace, was a public benefactor.

Now let us take another look. The crowd is at least right in its first conclusion. This little act of vandalism will in the first instance mean more business for some glazier. The glazer will be no more unhappy to learn of the incident than the undertaker to learn of a death. But the shopkeeper will be out $250 that he was planning to spend for a new suit. Because he has had to replace a window, he will have to go without the suit (or some equivalent need or luxury). Instead of having a window and $250 he now has merely a window. Or, as he was planning to buy the suit that very afternoon, instead of having both a window and a suit he must be content with the window and no suit. If we think of him as a part of the community, the community has lost a new suit that might otherwise have come into being, and is just that much poorer.

The glazier's gain of business, in short, is merely the tailor's loss of business. No new "employment" has been added. The people in the crowd were thinking only of two parties to the transaction, the baker and the glazier. They had forgotten the potential third party involved, the tailor. They forgot him precisely because he will not now enter the scene. They will see the new window in the next day or two. They will never see the extra suit, precisely because it will never be made. They see only what is immediately visible to the eye."

It's forced me to improve my relay management skills.

Test commenting on post to see how it shows in npub.pro

Update: I can now get it to generate the content, after spending some time on relays (I was being lazy about this at first). However, I do still get the error message as in the screenshot above (failed to reserve domain name). I have an idea of something to try and will post back.

#asknostr what tool(s) do you use to manage multiple Nostr profiles? Use case is one for personal use, one for a business.

Thanks!

At the very least, it's not just you. I've been known to complain that reCaptcha prompts have become outright abusive...

I was feeling cute so I decided to go to my local supermarket and purchase some Bitcoin for cash and open up a Lightning channel with nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n #greenlight #LSP

Was kinda annoyed that they forced you to hand over an ID but it worked as smooth as butter

South Africans can purchase #Bitcoin directly on LN at their Checkers, Shoprite, USave or even their local post office with cash or card with orders between R50 - R5000 ($2.86 - $286)

I keep hearing that in the US you can buy non-KYC bitcoin at ATMs, but my mom bought some from an ATM a while back (surprisingly) and it also required her info to complete the transaction. So at the very least, not all Bitcoin ATMs are non-KYC.

Gross!

(I write from my Windows OS laptop...)

I'm going to install Linux soon. Only kept windows for work, but a recent change in status makes the switch easier.

ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

TWO NOSTR EVENTS ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS 📅

FIRST IS #NOSTRVALLEY ON OCTOBER 12! REGISTER HERE https://nostrvalley.com

SECOND IS #NOSTRVILLE 2.0 ON NOV 6!

REGISTER HERE https://meetu.ps/e/NsWVs/11F5Mb/i

IF THERE IS ANY OTHER NOSTR EVENT HAPPENING IN THE STATES IN 2024 PLEASE REPLY WITH IT HERE!

PLS SHARE THIS NOTE FOR VISIBILITY FOR FRENS TO ATTEND THESE EVENTS!

I'll be at #NostrValley! Would love to be at the other one in Nashville but that's too far away on too short of notice.

Jack might not actually be (entirely) wrong. Central govs want centrally controlled AI, and would-be centrally-controlled-AI developers are finding that they can't catch up to OpenAI. This means that the would-be's may have a vested interest in the development of OSAI in partnerships (which they will likely try to co-opt). So funding will go into OSAI but they will try to control it's development and direction.

It's not too dissimilar to what we've been seeing with the recent institutional acknowledgement and "adoption" of bitcoin (albeit via ETFs).

It's a road full of snares, but it's the road we have to walk down.

Good work! I'll have to listen for him to mention it in his podcast the next time censorship comes up as a topic.

🎙️ Climate Realism: A Sane Approach

Ep. 42 with Prof. Steven Koonin | nostr:npub1ms9urcp4yctm00g0w45ydlgsaluddpf203d20cgnhqvlv97nlz8s3s6kln

My guest today is Prof. Steven Koonin, co-hosted with nostr:npub1jvyrmymgv8ztemff4mpcfwaquqwfn392ddj4f9zr9e6lp9frds6qjy2yka - host of The Tom Nelson Podcast. Prof. Koonin is an American theoretical physicist and former director of the Center for Urban Science and Progress at NYU, as well as a professor in the Department of Civil and Urban Engineering at NYU School of Engineering. In the past he was the Chief Scientist of BP’s oil and gas division, served as Under Secretaryq for Science in the Department of Energy, in the Obama administration, and was the vice-president of Caltech, one of the most prestigious scientific institutes in the world.

Steven is the author of the book “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters”, where he argues that while there are some basic facts about climate change that experts agree upon, the meaning of those facts is not so settled, and mainstream scientific studies do not support the notion that there is any kind of climate crisis at all.

This conversation discusses Climate Realism - the sane approach to the “Climate Change” alarmism, and the role of media in shaping public perception. We touched on topics such as the use of the term 'climate denier', bias in the energy industry, the challenges faced by young scientists who question the climate narrative, the role of journalists in spreading misinformation, and the influence of organizations like the UN and Covering Climate Now. We talked about the viral documentary 'Climate the Movie' and censorship attempts. Lastly we touched on the funding dynamic in climate research, and geoengineering / chemtrails. Steven emphasizes the need for open scientific discussion and the importance of prudence in considering these interventions. We end with the challenges & optimism in maintaining integrity and truth-telling in a corrupted world.

nostr:npub1jvyrmymgv8ztemff4mpcfwaquqwfn392ddj4f9zr9e6lp9frds6qjy2yka is on Nostr? Awesome! But I still want to see yet more reasonable dissident voices on here.
