I’m hooked on Abundance Through Scarcity by nostr:nprofile1qqsvfgjktns37es9pguhgeurtwt39tpnc3h38njdpa5d6xr98f6hgdcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3gamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdejkyat49ekxzg5gnaa. A mind-bending take on how scarcity sparks creativity & growth. Read it for psychonaut-level insights.

Sure, the filters aren’t 100% effective. But can we agree that they might make it more difficult or costly to get that kind of content onto the blockchain? Plus, my own node isn’t relaying that content, so I’m not contributing to spreading it.

I’m not sure how the limited effectiveness of the filters supports the idea of removing them. It feels like a non-sequitur to me.

As I see it, no one in this discussion is actually for censorship. The debate is whether to keep or ditch the filters. Keeping the 40/80kb OP-RETURN filters as they are won’t lead to more censorship. Removing them will open the door to new risks. I just don’t see why we should take that risk.

I understand you believe the CP won’t come to the blockchain because (1) criminals have better tools and (2) Bitcoin isn’t great for hiding stuff. I’m not really convinced by those particular arguments. They don’t address the threat of deliberate state-level attack. Plus, I really wouldn’t want to relay or store CP with my node.

We've been chained to reality and conditioned to fear it. But as chaotic, noisy, and fearful as reality may be, it is also constantly underpinned by silence. Meditation helps us find that silence and spend time in it. This dissolves the chains and uproots the fear, allowing us to be free and happy.

Happy Bitcoin Infinity Day, everyone!

Be loving, kind, and forgiving. It will protect you from yourself. Call it enlightened selfishness.

#meditation

Everything we perceive is a hallucination rendered by our brains, pinging reality’s server for sensory data, letting us map and navigate the network of existence. Dreams are such hallucinations too, but the brain runs them offline, generating output without pinging reality’s server.

Pneuma is breath. In Stoicism, it is the spirit—the very seed of all life. 'Become pneuma' is perhaps the most powerful meditation instruction. Focus on breath to become breath.

Enjoy...

The foreword by nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak made me curious about this book. I’m ready to enlighten myself again.

'The Ethics of Liberty' by Rothbard is a great read, even if you don’t agree with everything he writes. Although I am personally closer to Mises, Rothbard’s talent for rigorous logical reasoning is truly impressive.

🧘🏻‍♂️ A few meditation instructions for those who practise daily 🧘🏻‍♂️

Disclaimer: I apologise if this sounds like gibberish. Language is a blunt tool.

What is happening now?

And now... And now... And now... Second by second. Meditation is about the relentless noticing that all contents populating consciousness (images, sounds, sensations, thoughts) remain in a state of continuous change, whether we want it to or not.

Where is the silence?

Even in times of unrest and chaos, stillness is present and permeates everything. Seek out this silence, find it, and try to spend time within it. Use the silent space as a vantage point for observing and noticing whatever is happening now. And now...

Where am I? What am I? Who am I?

In the silent space, you may notice that, among other things, the Self is also present. It’s that feeling (contraction?) that you are you. It’s the part of you that wants or doesn’t want things, that desires and protests. It’s the part that refuses to let go. Notice it and return to the silence. And again. And again.

Everyone’s inner space is different. Please share your tips on how to practise.

With metta.

TOOL - Vicarious 🔊💜

Eye on the TV, 'cause tragedy thrills me

Whatever flavor it happens to be like

"Killed by the husband"

"Drowned by the ocean"

"Shot by his own son"

"She used a poison in his tea

Then kissed him goodbye"

That's my kind of story

It's no fun 'til someone dies

Don't look at me like I am a monster

Frown out your one face, but with the other

Stare like a junkie into the TV

Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child

Watches him die

Hands to the sky cryin', "Why, oh why?"

'Cause I need to watch things die

From a distance

Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies

You all need it too, don't lie

Why can't we just admit it?

Why can't we just admit it?

We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

Neither the brave nor bold

Nor brightest of stories told

We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

I need to watch things die

From a good safe distance

Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies

You all feel the same, so

Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down

Drum on grave and ground

Part vampire, part warrior

Carnivore and voyeur

Stare at the transmittal

Sing to the death rattle

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie

Credulous at best, your desire to believe in

Angels in the hearts of men

Pull your head on out your hippie haze and give a listen

Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile, so impersonal

Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been

We all feed on tragedy

It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies

Much better you than I
