What could go wrong...
Vitalik saying the quiet part out loud of ETH itself.
Thought experiment,
#Nostr has been a great way for me to stream consciousness without filters and algorithms
for some reason on X,
I stick to only the 3 main topics,
btc, medicine and ai,
here it goes,
We are going through a massive paradigm shift right now and most people don't realize
Physics is basically imploding,
The world is constructed ONLY when it is perceived
Physical atoms as building blocks of everything have been the foundation of physics for at least the last 500 years, but all this is collapsing, mainly because of this thorn in their side that is consciousness
Physical realists, those who believe the outside world is real and composed of matter, cannot figure out how it could possibly create consciounsess...
How can atoms, spin, charge, etc create what it feels like to fall in love, or eat steak?
It cannot.
And now quantum physics is showing us what the ancients always knew...
That consciousness generates MATTER...not the other way around.
Because if a table isn't really a table, or if a chair isn't really a chair...that also means that our "body" isn't really our body.
Our body too is generated ONLY when it is perceived, which means that who we are is something BEYOND our body.
You are not your body. You are the consciousness that perceives and CREATES your body.
This is basically what every single religion and spiritual tradition have said for eternity, but now we have the science to back it up.
So you're not in the matrix because you don't own enough bugattis or whatever...you're in the matrix so long as you believe that you are your body and nothing more.
Consciousness uses our body, almost like an avatar, just to navigate this 3D world.
Escaping the matrix is realizing just that...that you are SO much more than your body...your body is just one small sliver, the tip of the iceberg of who you really are.
The world is basically a video game that our consciousness is using to play and evolve
This is why people who've had near death experiences feel so much expansion and love...because they're just taking off the costume of who they are and stepping into who they really are.
So stop taking everything so damn serious...
And use everything as its meant to...as a play and a pointer to something our consciousness needs to grow and realize who it really is
The importance of #Nostr and #Bitcoin
"Our right to freely exchange information is secured by physical power.
In the physical world, our freedom of speech is protected by kinetic power (e.g., guns/arms).
In cyberspace, our freedom of speech—including the transfer of financial information—is safeguarded by electrical power, specifically through Proof-of-Work (PoW) infrastructure.
This leads to several profound implications with significant, yet largely unrecognized, consequences:
(1) PoW networks are, in fact, cyber defense weapon systems & represent a revolutionary approach to cybersecurity.
(2) Americans probably have a constitutional right under the 2nd Amendment (not just the 1st) to operate their own PoW machines.
(3) We are currently engaged in a global-scale international cyber war (5th domain WW3), yet most people remain blissfully unaware, distracted by the allure of "number go up."
(4) This war has largely been fought & won without public awareness, leading to an unprecedented shift in the balance of power. Private entities & individuals who recognized the opportunity & outmaneuvered their govts will wield more cyber power than entire nation-states.
(5) PoW-backed security will become integral to every major web-accessible application in the future, making PoW tokens far more valuable than "digital gold."
(6) It’s only a matter of time before tech leaders like Elon Musk realize that the only way to safeguard free speech on internet platforms like X is to integrate them with the world's largest PoW network, making PoW networks a fundamental part of the global internet architecture.
(7) People are grossly underestimating the true value of PoW networks, as their capabilities far exceed their original use case as a peer-to-peer financial system. PoW networks have the potential to revolutionize not only financial systems but also cybersecurity, national security, global power competition and warfare, human governance, and the very fabric of computing and digital communication, reshaping global power dynamics in ways we have yet to fully comprehend.
What JFK said about US & space applies to cyberspace now: "The exploration of <
To be a leader of Nations, US must have:
Land Power
Sea Power
Air Power
Space Power
Cyber Power
And it's clearly lacking in one of these domains.
Your choice, America."
- Jason Lowery
"Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole."
-Nick Cave.
How can this company hold so much power and gov contracts?
Lockheed Martin's origin story traces back to two separate companies that eventually merged.
The first, the Lockheed Corporation, was founded in 1912 by Allan and Malcolm Loughead as the Alco Hydro-Aeroplane Company, which later became the Lockheed Aircraft Company. Lockheed gained prominence with its innovative aircraft designs, particularly during World War II.
The second, Martin Marietta, was formed in 1961 from the merger of the Glenn L. Martin Company, a pioneering aerospace firm established in 1917, and the American-Marietta Corporation, a chemical and materials company. Martin Marietta played a significant role in the U.S. space program, contributing to rocket and missile technology.
In 1995, Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta merged to create Lockheed Martin, forming one of the world's largest aerospace, defense, and security companies.
The merger combined Lockheed's advanced aircraft technology with Martin Marietta's expertise in missiles and space systems, establishing the company as a global leader in the aerospace industry.
Happens every time.
I really think bitcoiners are extremely correlated to GM
You tell me what you see.
I see the same things I see every day.
Now, imagine you’ve never seen it before.
Imagine you’ve spent your whole life in other parts of the world, being told every day that you’re productive and doing good for society.
But then, you finally decide you’ve had enough.
You want to see what you’ve sacrificed your whole life for. Maybe even claim some of that so-called "freedom" for yourself.
Now, look at the people.
Tell me, which ones are truly free?
Free from debt, anxiety, stress, fear, failure, indignity, and betrayal.
How many wish they were born knowing what they know now?
Ask yourself,
how many would do everything the same way again?
And how many would choose to live their lives differently?
Ever wonder how the tobacco industry got the world addicted to processed foods?

Appreciate it! 🤝
it helps me personally to keep me in tune with signal.
these are note to self as well.
Getting sick is the greatest reminder in the world at how important being healthy is...
Truly nothing else matters when you are incredibly sick.
Dont wait until its too late
Health over anything and everything,
we need to play long term games with long term players,
Be careful of things that create wealth, as they might end up wasting your time and harming your health.
#Bitcoin is likely to become THE reliable safe haven asset in the next five to ten years.
Owning Bitcoin feels refreshing.
It feels like it gives you your health back,
In a world that's getting more strange,
Bitcoin + longevity seems like the best option for long term "games".
Who would've thought?
the world is splitting into 2,
I. people going all in on the fake modern technological garbage, seed oils, memecoins, beyond meat, porn, VR, casual sex, news, vapes, polyamory and low agency distractions
II. people returning to tradition, what's stood the test of time, truth, bitcoin, beauty, virtue, steak, religion, family, nature, books, sunlight, building, land, community, self sufficiency and high agency stuff
which way will you go?
every single institution is failing, medical, education, media, food, banking and this isn't just a coincidence...
the crisis of modernity is all connected and it stems from a wholesale rejection of TRUTH.
every single society before our modern revolved around a core set of metaphysical principles...it basically had an operating system and north start that everyone lived their lives by.
our lives used to be motivated by the search for truth and beauty., but today instead it's run by our selfish, lower, animalistic desires for pleasure, power and sex.
this is why the bitcoin rabbit hole is so important it reveals the world and what has been, it is truly amazing to witness such an important tech
Chicken should be more demonised than beef.
