This is a graceless, self righteous road doomed to failure. And one you yourself will never live up to.

To rely on self will to overcome the knowledge of good and evil is to live in bondage. The only escape from this is found in the blood of Christ. Outside of it, you are doomed to the eternal loops of karmic result.

Hello! I would like to introduce myself to the nostr community. I have been in the woodworking and furniture making trades for the first twenty years of my career, ending up with a hand-carved art framing and gold gilding business. In 2009, the economy took my business down. That is when I began my second career as a mechanical engineer in military aviation specializing in jet engine propulsion MRO.

I have all my life enjoyed building and restoring things, whether furniture, art, CNC machines, or the maintenance of airplanes. It has been a passion of mine. I have often wanted to share my successes and my failures along the way. This is now the forum to start.

This channel is going to be for the sharing of ideas, techniques, and end products of things made in wood, metal or other materials. I would invite you to follow me as we build a community of makers and help restore the the lost art of the craftsman.

I listened to RFK Jr. on Rogan.

I don’t agree with him on everything and in general he’s not my kind of person but I would vote for him.

Just saying, nostr will never be as safe as other platforms, you know why? Cause it’s free. Free as in freedom. Private players can come in and make clients or integrate with it in ways that are safer but the base protocol is going to be all kinds of chaotic.

Judge yourself by the quality of your enemies.

If your enemies suck find better enemies.

The Double-Edged Sword of Efficiency

-----------------------------------------

As an engineer, I hold efficiency in high regard. I aim for punctuality, consistency, and above all, I strive to avoid waste.

However, efficiency has a counterpart - fragility. When a system is hyper-efficient, it loses its resilience to disruptions. Over the past half-century, cost management has leaned heavily on this notion of extreme efficiency. The surge in money printing, which should have led to inflation, was largely counterbalanced by the efficiency gains from centralization. However, this centralization has left us exposed and vulnerable, even granting undue power to foreign governments.

No one is fully self-sufficient or immune to these issues. While it may appear beneficial to have a "global community", it actually exacerbates the problem. It creates a myriad of single points of failure, where the entire system can come to a halt if certain conditions are met.

The solution lies in being slightly less efficient and leaning towards self-sufficiency over hyper-efficiency.

Fortunately, Bitcoin presents a viable solution. As deflation becomes normalized, businesses can shift from exploiting efficiencies to fostering innovation. This could lead to a constant disruption of industries, producing better products through genuine progress rather than scale management.

Once you start thinking of yourself as a fool, you're not far from a genius.

Nostr is already the everything app that Mr. Musk wanted to build 😂

Imagine being a grown man who cares about his followers lol

Strike added alot of countries. India + Brazil alone is 1 out of 5 people on earth. So most likely with all the other countries, they probably can serve 1/4th of the world's population. (Picture screenshotted from Jack Maller's Bitcoin 2023 announcement.)

How many of you would use an auto-zap feature in #Amethyst?

The idea is to zap automatically a fixed amount (custom amount) when posts are viewed.

I just wanted to tell you all, that I have absolutely nothing to say but I still wanted to pop up on your feeds for lolz 😂 . GN, GM and PV 💜🫂
