How does one stop over thinking?

Meditation is the key to freedom here, the recognition that thoughts never stop bubbling up into consciousness, but you can just let them pass as an observer of them. Takes a bit of time, but its worth the introspection.

Yep. Now you know the difference between paying (in time and rough UX) for something you truly control and the stuff people give you for free to make you the product.

I respect the stance! But I have no more control of this pixel than the iPhone - they are equally obtuse to my technical competence in this realm.

Use GrapheneOS then :)

Remember, Google pays Apple 25B dollars to track you on Apple devices via the default search engine deal. You are still sending data to Google when using iOS.

Now Zelensky’s fiat funnel has stopped with Biden crime family out, he’s now saying he never received 100s and 100s of millions. Where did it go ?!

Interesting food for thought.

I do think about this often...how will my "place" in this fight for a better future change over time?

Right now, I feel there is a need for more fearless warriors (including of the keyboard variety lol) who do not give a f*ck and expose everything, everywhere, without holding back.

As a single dude spending most of his time living in faraway countries, I feel this is a solid role for me to fill in to do the most good. Somebody has to break that door down and take the cover fire so others can be inspired to follow behind.

My biggest inner question is, when I settle down and start building a family, will I feel called to transition into a more chill, "wise monk" type of role?

I will have to wait and play it by ear. Probably depends on the advancement of the surveillance state/technocracy by that time, as the risk of being an outspoken loudmouth would no longer be on just me, but my family as well.

Lots to ponder as this crazy world continues to unfold...

You should go back to first principles, drop out of the engagement business, and do something constructive with your life. Build things rather than screeching for engagement with nonsense. It much harder, but you will come out a better man -/my 2 SATs...

That’s the gist of what I’m saying 🤣 I’ve run a routing node, I’ve run multiple node in phone apps, I’ve used most of the custodial wallets, cashu, run my own mint, and I’ve come to this conclusion that myself and probably most people don’t really NEED to bother with any of it. Your time is worth something too, and running lightning fully self-custodial for everything takes a lot of time.

Surfside 11mo ago

Yes! Then there is the second level effect of my normie buddies still pissed that I convinced them all to spin up nodes to created our ring of financial pain when I promised we'd be the new JP Morgan in 21

The problem I see with the advice given by self-custodial lightning zealots is that they push it as an all or nothing approach. Lightning is vast, and you can utilize the entire ecosystem of custodial wallets, self-custody wallets, running your own routing node, cashu wallets and mints, etc., with minimal risk to losing your funds. Pushing people to ONLY running self-custodial lighting is a good way to ensure they lose money and never use it again.

Meet people where they are and give them the tools and education for what they are trying to accomplish on lightning.

Einstein’s insight for general relativity was that acceleration and gravity must be the same thing, since a simple instrument can’t distinguish them. From this, he arrived at the curvature of space-time.

Cryptography offers a similar dichotomy. Whether an algorithm is brute-forced, or the user knows the private key, the simple instrument (proof) can’t tell the difference.

In a sense, force and knowledge must be the same thing. But what is our space-time curvature? #asknostr #philosophy

Surfside 11mo ago

They are only indistinguishable locally (like sky diving), but not actually the same thing (big picture mass and energy) so this might be tricky to push out to cryptography? Beyond my pay grade really, but fun to ponder 😀

Steve Jobs knew 15 years ago......

"In a meeting at Apple's Cupertino headquarters last week, Steve Jobs let loose a no-holds-barred rant against Google and their pretence (at least) of do no evil, culminating in his saying that their "don't be evil" motto is "a load of crap."
