Christian’s and Nietzcheans out there on Nostr will especially enjoy it.
I did my best to blend what might seem disconnected philosophies and Jimmy genuinely challenged me every step of the way.
Was very good.

I talked to nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m about Virtue, Vice and his upcoming book. There was a lot of conversation about Nietzche, Christianity, Bushido and much more.

Imagine thinking someone can “steal your idea” and then getting angry because they execute on it better than you do.

Here comes the third prong to fuck #AUStriches once and for all.
Digital ID comes in December, both sides of government are pushing legislation to have social media users KYCed (see note below and image 3) which will be here mid-2025.
And now they’re pushing ahead with the mis- and disinformation bill which defines “harm” so broadly (image 2) that there is no escape.
No more posting about Bitcoin, that harms the economy. No more disagreeing with net zero lunacy, that harms the environment. No questioning vaccines, that harms health.
If you do - they’ll have your identity and will come and arrest you for breaking this new law.
Bye bye Australia 🇦🇺 https://v.nostr.build/SUzWO8tItR8kdbKF.mp4

Leaving that place half a decade ago now was one of the best decisions I made
When you’re so busy you forget to check any socials.
Lo and behold, you get so much more done
As an analytical person and former psychologist, I’ve always been fascinated by studying human behavior—especially in the digital age. The idea of sharing one’s life online is an entirely new phenomenon, unique to this century.
While reading “Hatching Twitter” (though I’m not convinced we’re getting the real version of that story), one of the early chapters mentions that no one would feel comfortable sharing their life online. Today, that thought seems almost bizarre when you consider how nearly everyone is doing just that. However, I’m left questioning how beneficial this has been for humanity as a whole.
I find myself comparing this to the invention of electricity, which fills me with awe and a sense of advancement. But when it comes to the tech revolution and its effects on the human mind, I have my doubts. The original intention of social media was to make people feel more connected and less alone, but paradoxically, it feels like people are more isolated than ever before.
Last year, I took a significant step back from social media. I shut down my online business, deleted all social media apps from my phone, and nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m can vouch for this—each time he showed me something from one of those apps, I felt disgusted with what the world had become. During that time, I felt truly free, as if I had finally taken off a mask. However, I also noticed an odd side effect: I felt disconnected from the world. I wasn’t updated on what my friends were doing, and I missed that sense of social interaction, even if it was superficial.
One of the most intriguing aspects of social media is how followers, likes, and engagement seem to dictate people’s sense of worth and relationships. People can become genuinely offended if someone they know unfollows them, to the point where they may not want to maintain an in-person relationship anymore. It’s as if the virtual world is dictating real-life connections: “Oh, you unfollowed me? I guess we can’t be friends in real life.” It’s a strange, almost absurd shift in human interaction.
Another bizarre aspect of social media is the idea that people who don’t resonate with you—or even dislike you—can still follow your life closely. They can see what you think, feel, and do daily. Ex-lovers and people from your past are just one click away from finding out what you’re up to nowadays. This level of access to personal information still feels surreal to me. How much information we handle and share without second thoughts is, frankly, unsettling.
In the end, while social media has undoubtedly changed the way we connect, it raises the question: has it truly improved our lives, or are we more isolated, less authentic, and increasingly detached from genuine human connection?

Btw, GM Fam🌹
Damn wifey. That was a great poast 🎯
“Who will build the roads”
Damn that was a while back. But I think so. I remember it was her first ever exposure to bitcoin. And now that u mention it, I do remember speaking with u about a ticket back in the day. I just don’t remember the details. So I guess that makes sense.
And I guess your ticket actually went to good use and created a long time Bitcoiner!!
Ask and ye shall receive - well done nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9!
I just made an initial donation. I'll match another 420k sats if folks donate today. We're currently at ~680k sats. Let's make this happen 🇧🇷🚀

If you want to have a bigger more effective impact, speak to nostr:npub1hz5alqscpp8yjrvgsdp2n4ygkl8slvstrgvmjca7e45w6644ew7sewtysa about the travelling Nostr booth & mini conference tour happening in Brazil later this year. That will be 100x more impactful IMO.

Yeah unfortunately this is one of the prices of open protocols.
The best clients will build walls and filters to hide that shit. Relays will do the same. But I’m not sure we can ever remove it entirely. Some relays / clients out there will be run by sick fucks and they will host this kind of content 🤦🏻♂️
Using a lot of IG inspiration in nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 - stay tuned

Umm. I think there should be a city in the URL. Best to go from home page and find your way there.
In any case, a bunch of shit is broken right now while we do the big update. So sit tight. Some fires are just gonna need to burn 😂
