I have yet to see the benefits that come from technology used in a way that offer more freedom to the population. The rewards of humanity becoming more productive have gone to a select few while the average person falls further and further behind.

When it comes to AI I feel that it’s like the equivalent of the arms race when the nuclear bomb was developed. What happened to those countries that couldn’t weaponized themselves fast enough? Global power was shaped in those crucial moments.

Only now it’s about domination of the entire race. And there is no way for the average citizen to protect themself. We can’t make a nuke, per-say. We are defenseless against AI for the most part and all we can do is hope that it’s used properly. But what does history tell us? It won’t be used properly and it will be used to further enslave the human race.

I can't speak for anyone else.

But I was a bit of a tormented mess. It kept growing worse and worse. I turned to alcohol, I turned to distraction - only to keep getting worse.

It was because although I might have been close, I wasn't quite exactly where I needed to be in terms of knowing myself. Who I am.

I know exactly who I am after these past 4 years. A ruthless wolf, who doesn't mind walking alone, and can preserve and covet that. Want to know how I arrived fully, completely at myself?

Watching everyone else separate themselves from logic and alienate me for not following suit. Breaking the shackles of relationships which meant a lot to me really drove that home.

I can be a lone wolf if that's the only route. That type of confidence exudes an aura. I notice people looking at me differently as I walk down the streets these days. It's not confirmation bias either. I'm not the only one that has noticed.

This doesn't necessarily get to the meat of the question, which is difficult in text. These typecof discussions are best held in real time, body language and spirit is important. Those in tune with it can latch on and help out thoughts that are struggling to be articulated but are JUST on the cusp if ya know what I mean?

Basically, it does stem from knowing who you are fully. Completely. And not the prescribed construction of who you are. Those people can be picked apart easily. I'm in an invincible state because I have detached myself from society. It's hierarchy is rigged. I'm aware of that and it doesn't frighten me. I know all the players in that game are my subordinate on a human level, no matter what the title on their office door says they are.

Well said ?cid=2154d3d7lg4twzub2et3ce6ctrdjaiyb2bfvdi29riwa7q9e&ep=v1_gifs_search&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

What do you think it is that woke some of us up, while others are doomed to suffer the exact fate you just laid out above? Do thoughts think themselves? Or have we downloaded something from a universal consciousness, were we chosen to awaken?

Hard to come up with that image.. on one hand we have the opportunity for true human flourishing without govt corruption and money manipulation curtailing our ability to create, dream and act. On the other hand I have my personal vision for my future that #Bitcoin will help my create. One is a global utopia. The other is a much simpler existence.

Look what humans have become, on the whole. I mean, obviously I am using developed 1st world nations as the sample.

There is a serious existential void in the pit of many, they have been reduced to the 7 deadly sins, either a combinstion of a few, really hard one one or another, as a channel to fulfillment.

We are bored, yet nobody knows it. Heck, they don't even know what they don't know. Most of the type I am discussing - the regular, average, everyday normie citizen - are at this point in time going through the motions without a though to it. It has some how tacitly registered with them that better is up ahead if I keep going through these motions. If they themselves are not going to make that "better" happen themselves, which requires creativity, imagination, thought, and knowing who you are and what you want, planning and coordination. It just never happens. They won't know that until it's too late, if they even remember why they were going g through the motions for in the first place.

There is a serious lack of character in developed socieities. Foreign investment and $$$ is surely one of the major reasons for ever increasing condominiums, high rises, packed tightly into dense city centers. The most lucrative collateral benefit however? Much easier to control. Messaging is everywhere and trafficked by humans without knowing it.

I think most humans are discontent with themselves. Most don't know what to do and appeal to what earns them social likes. In many ways, it makes people feel alive - separates the grind in their day. The routine. It's sad when Social Media Likes is the most important currency in their lives. It can deliver serotonin. It's like a black mirror episode for certain.

But as long as people who are astute enough to notice do not point out their emptiness, sorrow and emotional despair - everything is fine. Cope is thin these days, a result of cancel culture, food chemical additives and hormone manipulation, covert messaging, and a perverted/distorted presentation of what they should be striving for. Unfortunately much of the human spirit has been shackled, and as a result people need to fill the existential voids with all sorts of prescribed 'causes' to fill that void with. They are usually emotionally attached ponzi schemes. They begin associating their beliefs as their identities. Unfortunately, those identities are constructed by elements of their ego (which suppress and guard their consciousness from uncomfortable truths as a defence mechanism - denialism). Once you start poking holes in their prescribed beliefs, they take it as a poke at their identity.

Most do not want freedom and hate people that do because it reminds them of their own impotence with regard to vigor and vitality. Those who continually trade in their dimming light of freedom for the illusion of security, fall deeper and deeper into that abyss. They're often the loudest in the room too, but when you point out the self-righteous horse they think they are sitting on is actually just a pile of horseshit - the physiological response out of them to fight or flight is all you need to know they are hollow. Uninterested in reason, logic, or discourse.

They are gone, deep down they know it and they hate the truth teller for grabbing that fact from their subconscious and manifesting a connection to their physical contextual reality in the moment for it. It can be violent.

Exorcism ain't easy.

I could go on, and the above might be disjointed or off topic. I like going off the cuff, but it's difficult in text

Well said and I agree with mostly everything, 🤝

People already rely on their technology for too much. Imagine 3 or 4 generations from now. Will kids even know how to spell when a computer does it for them in milliseconds? Will all the wisdom handed down from generations and thousands of years be gone? Have we already witnessed the greatest song ever made, movie, the best book to be written, painting,etc? Between creative kids being fed brain medicine to help them “focus”, the dumbing down of society, bipolar people thinking it’s an illness rather than a gift, it’s quite possible. And then imagine if they take the phones away. A population completely dependent on technology to run their life suddenly gets rug pulled… what happens? This feels rather bleak…does #Bitcoin fix this?

So for cold storage, what do you use?

No coldcard? What do you suggest?

Gm, normies aren’t ready for #Nostr yet, but they will come around. Slowly but surely, time will prove the need for decentralized social media to be more and more important. Just as time will prove the need for #Bitcoin. We are on the path of truth. 🤝 ?cid=2154d3d742171971bde5e1a2501f0d0d46417d5c9c13298c&ep=v1_gifs_username_username&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

Not 100% positive but I’m fairly sure that a rat/slug parasite brain may be an upgrade for many people. ?cid=2154d3d7vhb4j0wsxbsled600tufbbcxnuo8al05yc8c5j1r&ep=v1_gifs_search&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

Just curious, do most of your family think your insane when it comes to #Bitcoin? Mine does. But they’ve always thought I was insane, I’ve always been different. It’s just a shame they can’t see what we see, but they will. Change is coming. #Bitcoin will usher in a new era of human flourishing and we’re all fortunate to be along for the ride. It may not happen as fast as we’d like, but it’s happening nonetheless.
