Of course. Just look at Australia’s energy policy- a masterclass in poor planning driven by political pandering. It seems focus groups fixated on “saving the environment” are steering the ship, but where’s the strategy to balance sustainability with being a productive, innovative nation? I.e. have a robust and complex economy.

Sure, we all want to protect the planet—but not at the cost of destroying our competitiveness and ingenuity.

Relying on solar and wind alone is foolish without a reliable baseload energy source.

With no real plan for nuclear or gas, and insufficient hydro capacity, we’re committing to a $3 trillion energy grid overhaul that will deliver the most expensive and unreliable electricity on earth.

Instead of fostering invention and problem-solving, we’re stuck with ideological moves made by a pack of halfwits and lemmings that makes our country less productive, less innovative, and far from a leader in tackling real-world challenges.

Well another example of not being able to give away Bitcoin.

Went to a Vietnamese Cafe that had been reported to take Bitcoin Lightning. Bought a coffee, asked to pay with ₿. No we don't take that anymore.....

My friends, my own brother, won't get Lightning wallets so I can send them sats. I give up, people can't be swayed. I'll just send sats to other lunatics in the circle jerk, echo chamber that is Nostr. 😂

I suspect that intermittant resets only postpone an inevitable hellish nightmare of our own creation in the long run... 😂 Ouch.

Yeah it's you can tell it getting a bit overdue can't you 😁

So in other words, the "Dark Ages" were actually better... 😂

You won't see me argue against that.

American academia has been captured & corrupted for propagandistic purposes for well over a century now:

"In World War I American academic intellectuals committed themselves to serving the needs of the state. The role they played committed them to priorities that fettered their critical intelligence and warped their judgment; the work they produced in the service of the state seriously departed from responsible scholarship...

"...[T]he state of academic freedom depends largely on the professoriate itself, for they reveal the extent to which professors themselves were involved in wartime violations of academic freedom. The crisis of war exposed the repressive underside of majority sentiment on the campus; it exposed a lack of commitment to academic freedom within the profession at large and a willingness even of its chief defenders to bend the principle to the pressures of the moment..."

-Carol Gruber, Mars and Minerva: World War I and the Uses of Higher Learning in America

Things haven't changed at all in the last century; if anything, they've only gotten worse. The biggest obstacle to intellectual freedom in academia comes via horizontal enforcement from the professors themselves.

Any reputable one that does not require KYC, for example WOS, Coinos or Blink (the latter using a phone number without KYC, although you can later remove it and put an email without KYC).

Nah it's not you I am having problems with it's relay management, even when reset it doesn't seem to be connecting like before ..I tried to tell you this using primal and it's still sketchy so I am using another client 😂

Best never to repeat catchphrases, they are usually wrong.

It’s definitely the worst system for governing a country, apart from all the others that have been tried from time to time.

I think you'll find that is an extralegal proceedure once accompanied by pitchforks, torches, cannon & muskets. 😂

Where is the abolish the government in general petition? 😁

First edition of the MAD bill dumped.

Hopefully this is the beginning of a united stand against government overreach in Australia.

I’m sure they’ll repackage it and try again, but for now it’s cactus.
