a meritocracy is only as good as what that merit is based on. if that is accomplishment alone, you can quickly end up with a group of highly accomplished sociopaths.
bitcoin is not a meritocracy.
it is a currency.
and technically development contribution is not required to have insight into its value, or how to maintain its freedom.
“when dollars are measured in bitcoin, then we know that an actual revolution has occurred.”

This interview of James Corbett is fun. Especially the part about nostr.

love matters most when its not.
heating extra water and putting it in a thermos at night before you go to bed so your first cup of coffee can happen before lightning the rocket stove, is a great idea 🙂🔥🪵☕️
divorce culture teaches children conflict always ends in destruction.
commitment culture teaches children conflict is sometimes necessary to resolve disagreements.
avoid most drama
if you avoid all drama, you’re probably a coward.
love this. 🙂

you are a symbol of everything wrong with Silicon Valley and why it needs to be abandoned.
thank you 🙂
we will use you as an example of why privacy, and open protocols are so important.
this is what ive said from the beginning.
Primal has a Silicon Valley douchebag “bro” culture problem.
The integrity of projects with this root culture always, ALWAYS, falls apart.
Primal has had a root culture flaw from the beginning. Many of us warned about it.

using Primal is a willful exercise in short sightedness.
most drama is worth avoiding.
but every once in a while it’s worth understanding 👇

the final word on the Covid19 Pandemic of 2020.
hello 🙂🍓 
i wonder how many U.S. government agencies have been directly, or indirectly funded by laundered tax money, drugs, and child trafficking?
the globe artichoke is a bred and cultivated strain of cardoon.
nostr:npub1dh9wu27nh6n7nm9h6zznleelf7z473su7f0jejlyzg4a7esnfzzsl4q67d crazy that cardoons are used so widely around the world, and i had never heard of them even once.
i love stuff like this 🙂
oh yes. You need a hot compost guava dome 😂
you really need to check out coolr.chat
wow. you could heat water with that pile!
that is actually really interesting. 🤔
i was wondering about quantum entanglement particle communication systems, and the fact that entangled pairs show instantaneous response regardless of distance, which would indicate there are things that bleed over into our reality which aren’t governed by time and space as we understand them.
lol. no. 🙂
i was thinking if time is relative to mass and acceleration, it must be inherently linked to gravity.
or at least correlative 🤷
linked to gravity.
look, people need to use Cholula hotsauce, and that’s critical.
freedom to choose is preferred
I love making stuff. I love creating my own solutions to things.
Often I will prefer the homemade version to the a purchased version because there is connection and relationship inherent in the making of something. Not to mention more durability and less weird chemicals in most cases. Making has expanded to most areas of my life over time. Food, energy drinks, medicine, gifts, greeting cards, weight sets, clothing, power systems, water filtration, waste processing, operating systems, living structures... all of it. I love making stuff. Especially using things I already have, or things people no longer want.
But what im thinking about today, is that i am the only person who ever enjoys many of the things i make. part of this is because many people are still programmed to think that 'just buying it' is better, but the other part is that many of the things i make cant really be packaged and sold in a traditional sense. they need to be made by others. its the process and the thinking that can be shared.
i suppose the obvious solution would be to share more. but im private about some things, and i have no intention of overcomplicating my life with trying to capture everything, spending too much on unneccesary camera gear, and talking in a retarded youtuber voice.
just thinking outloud.
thoughts?
“the capitalist mythology argues that the most ruthless,
selfish, opportunistic, greedy, calculating plunderers, applying the most heartless measures, in the cold blooded pursuit of corporate interest and wealth accumulation, will produce the best results for all of us through something called the invisible hand.” — Michael Parenti
im afraid i dont trust your reasoning now. you say populism will inherently be built on lies and hypocrisy, but praise the libertarian ethic which underpins it. very strange indeed. best wishes 🙂
one movement will never encompass an entire nation.
and if you base your metric on the emotional response of those who disagree, you will forever be in limbo.
An educated Indian populist movement would benefit the whole world.
don’t worry about that low quality human. im enjoying your trains of thought, and learning too. keep going 👍
Naziism was really just racist, nationalist, socialism.
yeah that doesn’t do it.
how we are raised makes some difference, but even that is not consistent. in the end, it seems to all come down to choice made at a spiritual level.
i think they are completely decoupled.

Any scenario where grid wide power outages last long enough to start buying things with gold would end in such wide spread chaos and death, your boomer logic gold bug would be locked in a basement praying the power would come back on long enough for them to MadMax it down to the gas station to get one last gallon of gas for the generator.
You sound like Capitol Records in 1992.
