Drove through a huge part of the American west that has been completely ravaged by monoculture wheat and corn farming. This place would not exist if it weren’t for US federal agricultural subsidies.

There is a huge opportunity for ecosystem renewal in these places with proper livestock grazing. Within just a couple years there would be marked increases in soil fertility and local biodiversity. There would also be a massive reduction in watershed pollution as millions of metric tons of pesticides wouldn’t need to be used here anymore.

I really hope to see this trend emerge in my lifetime.

It is a wonderful practice: sitting meditation is very useful, but it is by no means the end-all-be-all. I have seen far too many meditators attest to levels of peace and tranquility while they are alone sitting on a meditation cushion who were unable to sustain that state of presence once they got off the cushion and into mid-day traffic or when interacting with others.

After six days of silence, I've come to the realization that the kind of extended silent meditation retreats I used to think were essential for my annual reset are simply not what I need anymore.

While Goenka's masochistic, dogmatic approach works for some—even when modified to allow for walking and moving meditation—I have come to find it unnecessarily rigid.

The truth is, meditative awareness isn't confined to a strict schedule or silent halls. It's available in every moment—whether sitting, speaking, eating, working, walking, or playing.

As Buddha taught in the raft parable:

"My teaching is like a raft used to cross the river. Only a fool would carry the raft around after he had already reached the other shore of liberation."

Even the teachings themselves—the methods, the practices, the techniques—eventually become a burden if we continue to carry them after they've served their purpose.

I'm continuing with my moving and sitting meditation practices for the remaining 34 days of this annual reset, but I've expanded my awareness to fully embrace the inclusion of mindfulness in writing, reading, and speaking. Each moment offers an opportunity for presence and awareness.

It feels good to be back—refreshed, recharged, and aligned with purpose.

How is everyone this evening?

"Mitochondrial metabolism is now being seen as the basic problem in aging and several degenerative diseases."

"In old age, the walls of blood vessels tend to become hardened with calcium. In at least some tissues, it is known that calcification begins in degenerating mitochondria, and mitochondria tend to deteriorate in aging tissue. Nutrients such as iodine, vitamin E, magnesium and vitamin B2 are especially important for maintaining the function of the mitochondria, which produce most of our energy."

Ray Peat

Normie think everything is luck.

Great body? Genetics.

Intelligent? Genetics.

Rich? Inheritance.

Bitcoin? Random chance. No one could have known.

Good marriage? Lucky you met the right person.

Good family? Lucky you have good kids.

Good looking? Genetics.

The defining characteristic of being a normie is not believing that human action drives the world around them.

Don't look now but...it kinda feels like we're watching a higher nostr-adoption-rate floor being built in front of our very eyes 🧐📈

Just 6 months ago, we only grew in spurts when major censorship events occurred (ex: telegram CEO arrest, Brazil X ban, etc.)

Something has changed lately. We're seeing a very consistent inflow of new friends arriving daily now, despite being in a relative lull period on these action-inspiring headlines.

I have a feeling that the next time one of these catalyzing events occurs, or even if just a major influencer or two makes a loud entrance...things are about to get real crazy in here 💥🚀

BULLISH. #grownostr

They wouldn’t announce it unless they already had one or they were gonna nationalize MSTR

Anyone who thinks the world will start calling satoshis Bitcoins is dreaming.

Regardless of the pros or cons, it simply isn’t going to happen.

Interesting. I was able to zap you through Primal and it pulled from my Hub.

Okay, finally set up Alby Hub.

I had changed my lighting address on my Nostr profile like a month ago now to Speed but my legacy Alby wallet was still getting zaps from Nostr. Very odd... but in any event, someone respond to this so I can test zap to make sure the hub is working.

About to teach a bunch of human rights defenders how to Nostr. Wish me luck, and be ready to zap some newcomers later today! HRF webinar starts in 45 mins.

Please 🙏 tell me of one cause ima wiring one in to write up now 🤣🤣

I'll give it a listen. I don't want to ditch them... I love it, built it myself, and it was my first successful electronics DIY... So my relationship with that black box in my closet is deeper than with any other possession. But I've learned to pay attention to these things. The quality of a product only ever takes a hit, even a tiny hit, when the company isn't doing well.
