In studying for my lesson on gentleness, I listened to a lecture on how all violence stems from immaturity, brutishness, crudeness, and childishness. I never quite thought about that before, but it makes sense.

When emotionally immature parents strike their children, those children learn subconsciously that violence is both acceptable and necessary to prove one’s strength and authority. When these children grow into emotionally immature adults, they enforce control through perpetuating the cycle of violence.

Gentle parenting has sprung up to counter this idea, but I think at first, we didn’t really know how to do gentle parenting without being a bunch of pushovers 😅 now that we’ve continued to develop these skills and methods, we have become better at holding other people (including, but not limited to, our own kids) accountable without attempting to control them through brute force. Gentle parenting hinges around the idea of encountering a child’s immature, crude, and violent tendencies with empathy but also firm correction, role modeling, and training.

Gentleness is not softness. Meekness is not weakness. It’s not passivity. It’s not submission.

It’s knowing when to YIELD… knowing how to hold back your own strength and force… understanding how to be careful with others.

This applies both to the micro and the macro…

revelatory

bought in 2015

face it, I was lucky to live in a place where I knew the right people who introduced me to it and in a country where I could have access to something like coinbase

I didn't "deserve" the opportunity but I did take advantage of it when I heard about it

it's not a conspiracy

"you get #Bitcoin at the price you deserve"

I think that's unfair

I got in in February 2015

right place right time (of course I wish I'd bought more)

but some kid who was 10 years old didn't have the chance

now that kid (age 19) is buying at 65k

not his fault

also, stop bashing #coinbase. they enabled me back then.

they're mostly awesome

a plethora of pivots

three body problem

Netflix

winner

long term holders are starting to take profits and buying yachts and whatnot

this is inevitable when things get really profitable for them

ultimately there will be some of them I wish they hadn't sold their #Bitcoin

because a person who sold for at the top to buy a house and whatnot I can tell you that I like the house but I wish I could have my cake and eat it too

I wish I had more #Bitcoin than I currently have, doesn't everyone?

I'm afraid that might be really true

not a conspiracy theorist

I don't think there's some cabal that's in control of things

I think there is no one in control and that's actually the scary part

I'm pretty happy on Android with primal but I will say that the update seem to be kind of slow and I assume that that's the network not the app

we're probably going to consolidate for a while but it's definitely not too late
