Modern psychology is basically apologetics for the doctrine of moral relativism within the individual. The individual is seldom responsible for the shortcomings of his life, it's almost always some external culprit that takes the blame. Either it's the familial context, some structural social inequality, or an external event vapidly characterized as trauma. As a Psychologist I've seen this countless times, it's almost as if we are nursing the individual into the notion that no evil exists inside of him, which is an abhorrent and false idea. Evil does exist and we can't always brush it away with a sort of therapeutic language that characterizes every wrongdoing as a "disease" as if to say that people would be free from the consequences of their actions.

Ah, still in the democracy phase, I see. True freedom is rooted in strong private property rights, best preserved in kingdoms with low time preferences, where long-term stability fosters traditions, family values, and timeless aesthetics. Monarchies prioritise legacy over fleeting majorities. Read some Hoppe; the monarchy stage awaits your enlightenment.

freedoms not kingdoms

✌️ btw, say Hello for me to Portugal!

Nostr is uncensored, yet people are nice to each other

Reddit is heavily moderated, yet most are rude

Why?

For the same reason a dog doesn't shit in his own cage. Nostr users don't want to lower the social value of the public key that they own. all we have is each other.

Fundamentally.

European Industrial Apocalypse: How Brussels Bureaucracy Crushed Manufacturing

The European manufacturing sector lies in intensive care, a victim of self-destructive policy decisions that have systematically dismantled industrial competitiveness. Latest S&P Global data exposes a brutal economic reality: manufacturing indexes are cratering at unprecedented rates.

Key Devastating Metrics:

- German industrial PMI: 43.0 (Critical contraction zone)

- Eurozone manufacturing index: 45.2 (Deepest decline in years)

- Employment reduction: Sharpest since August 2020

- Price deflation: Fastest decline in 15-year period

The root cause? A perfect storm of bureaucratic overregulation and strategic incompetence. EU sanctions against Russia have been nothing short of economic self-sabotage. By cutting access to cheap Russian energy, Brussels has effectively kneecapped European industry's global competitiveness.

The data screams a harsh truth: Energy costs are the lifeblood of manufacturing. By prioritizing political posturing over economic rationality, EU policymakers have transformed a competitive industrial powerhouse into a relic of former economic glory.

Hyper-complex regulations, green transition mandates, and geopolitical virtue signaling have replaced pragmatic industrial strategy. The result? European manufacturers are being systematically priced out of global markets.

With production volumes, new orders, and employment all in freefall, the EU's regulatory straightjacket has become an economic death sentence.

The sentiment among Bitcoiners about :microstrategy: MicroStrategy and :saylor: Michael Saylor is mixed but largely positive. Many admire his bold moves and commitment to #Bitcoin, seeing him as a visionary strengthening the market and inspiring confidence among HODLers.

However, some express concerns about corporate dominance, potential market manipulation, and the risks of leveraged investments. Criticism is often attributed to envy or fear of change, while defenders argue Saylor's actions benefit the Bitcoin ecosystem overall.

What are your thoughts on MicroStrategy's approach and the reactions it has garnered?

Gm, my people! ☕

I came to the realization that all of my IRL pain comes from valuing so much a thing called integrity.

Inflation is an increase in the money supply relative to goods and services. There would be no dispute that this money supply was distributed evenly to everyone, but that is not possible in theory. Since the new money is not distributed evenly, those who get it first have an advantage over others, followed by those who charged something to the first, and so on, and so on. Those at the bottom of the chain suffer the worst because by the time they get their share of the new money, they have already spent everything they previously earned on higher prices.

That is why inflation is the most #corrupt and unjust way for a #government to obtain #money and pay its expenses. It increases economic inequality. Between #taxation and #inflation, I would always choose taxation.

It only works because of mis-priced debt. The “perpetual” side of the equation is just the manipulated dollar debt markets. In other words, horribly fake interest rates.

This is why they will inevitably HAVE to find any way they can to make it illegal to issue debt to buy #Bitcoin. But it won’t make a difference in the long run. Real interest rates will simply return to the 20% range or around there, because our current interest rates are just absurd. The thing that bitcoin was ALWAYS going to do that will have more impact on the world than anything else, was reprice debt.

The “perpetual motion machine” will keep working until the interest is no longer under their control, or until stocks are valued by their price in sats. Until then they will fight it as hard as they can.

Expect lies and attacks about what he is doing in the meantime. nostr:note1lse5ueqm35mt3e8sjsksjxdyxzh4kzssugeh9eqfewk7apahlx2smd2de6

Yup I just sold the last of my rental properties and turned it into bitcoin. Feel much better about it.

Even on nostr I’ve seen people praising EU. Which is odd to me.
