I don't understand the aversion to the word anarchists. People without a ruler is not something simple, that is literally the base state of the world before conmen convince people to hand over their liberty.

I tried to listen to your last podcast, but the sound was too low, FYI. Even at full volume, I couldn't hear with the traffic noise outside.

“I’m not political”

“Voting is a scam”

Allow me to be blunt here.

This most recent ECB paper made clear something many of us have known for awhile.

When the price of Bitcoin goes up regular people are going to want to kill you. The state is also going to want to kill you. They will be deeply aligned on the solution to their problem being, murdering you.

Don’t say it won’t happen. It has happened in every society on earth. It will happen.

You’re not political? Grow up Peter Pan, count chocula it’s not Halloween. Be serious. This is big boy shit.

The state is a weapon.

People are going to want to wield it against you.

What’re you gonna do about that?

“I’m not political”

Yeah well I am.

I have to be.

I want the world to reflect my values and respect my right to life liberty and property.

We have to protect ourselves from what’s coming.

And believe me when I say… it is definitely coming.

What are you scared of losing the most?

If alcohol is so bad for you, then why did Jesus turn water into wine?

If it’s good enough for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for me.

Being sober is essentially blasphemy.

Who remembers Lonely Planet books?

We spent a few months in India years ago and, since we weren’t going south at all, we cut the book in half to save weight.

Whatever you think about Ethereum, I think we can all agree that Fred Krueger is an asshole.

It’s not cool to make fun of people with disabilities.

In my latest very dumb experiment, i’ve gotten a Xitter™️ account again. Firstly, gfy i’ll probably delete it soon. I have my reasons, gfy again.

Here are my initial thoughts:

1) the onboarding experience is terrible. You must curate your feed heavily, same as nostr just centralized and it shoves elon’s account in your face immediately lol

2) the algo is appalling. It makes you choose at least three interests while setting up an account. I think mine were finance, food, and nature… and then it shoved tiddies and public fights/people dying on camera in my face. I had to seek out bitcoiners to get any semblance of reason on my feed

3) it immediately locked my account twice and made me prove i was a human by entering a second email code (already did that initially) and solving a weird puzzle

4) i had to say “not interested in this” repeatedly on tiddies (despite not not being interested in tiddied. I’m civilized ffs) and war and street violence and politics, and all of those still pop up anyway

5) didn’t let me “be seen” or have dm’s until i interacted with the piece of shit timeline enough for its arbitrary and opaque liking

6) Xitter™️ still can’t distinguish what a degen vs a bitcoiner feed should look like, causing me to be exposed to dumbass shit like “alt season incoming, load your bags!!” in response to shit like dan held

7) no one engages when you don’t have a blue check and lots of followers. Again, no better than nostr in this regard - in fact it seems even worse

After these Seven™️ highly insightful insights that nobody could’ve known without me doing this, i have come to the conclusion that Nostr is better and look forward to it growing since we all know open protocols and interoperability WIN

The only way to make it sufferable is to have a group of friends already, or else you’ll probably become politically radicalized, addicted to tiddies, degenerate shitcoiner. This comes as no surprise to me, as the only reason i ever really used it back before it became Xitter™️ was to stack sats and shitpost with my friends on the Stackchain™️ (who so far don’t even know i’ve done this, because this is an experiment you fucks so don’t add me to tard chat or anything)

I’ll keep it open until i can no longer bear the Xittiness of it all, could be today or in a week or a month, i have no idea tbh

The only benefit seems to be that if used carefully you can see what’s going on out in “normie” land better than here… for now. I also can’t help but notice how many nostriches are still on there, but who am i to judge (nobody)

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading, dan

I don't have a strong opinion about it, I just think that based on what I've seen them present, I doubt the veracity of their claims overall. Big bomb, sure, but exaggerated.

I know there are big bombs and I have felt shockwaves from explosions, the biggest was a factory that blew up not too far from me once upon a time, it was quite something considering the distance.

If nukes happened, nothing could be done about it anyway. It's just not something I worry about. Other attacks can be mitigated to some degree with prep.

Rate my setup:

Why does carving presidents out of mountain feels like some odd religion? 🤔

The effects of the shots will likely continue for years if not decades, based on the data I've been seeing. Politicians are useful idiots for the MIC and other bad actors, but they facilitated it rather than creating the problem.

No amount of propaganda will make me scared of nukes. Everything they have shown is to this point is comedy to me. Even the fallout is said to dissipate within days. If they are real, it would be a quick death and something I spend no time worrying about. If we are talking slow, painful effects from chemical and biological weapons, it would be much worse from my perspective.

The idea of nukes was driven into all of us from a young age, largely through movies. Perhaps the occasional documentary.

I think people are unreasonable afraid of nukes. Chemical and biological warfare is far more terrifying, and its very real... unlike nukes.

Yessir! This is the conspiracy theory I am here for. This is factual, well built, inspiring.

Gimme more!

Yes we’ve had the divisibility talk. But maybe that needs to be reinforced.
