My brother is an aerospace engineer. How well do the skills and knowledge transfer over into mining?
Secession should be a regular conversation topic in bitcoin circles.
Because he will actually eat the food that he cooks.
“Skip breakfast, but also think about eating cockroaches.”
I love that Nostr disincentivizes centralized social media behaviors.
Comedians need to be #Nostr pilled.
Are these on iOS?
Must be contained.
Reminder:
As our net wealth increases everyone else’s is decreasing. They will become more miserable and insufferable than usual. This will get difficult to navigate as Bitcoiners may be easily identified as those who show any genuine outward mirth.
Previously established and close networks are the ripest for orange pilling. I have many men in my church asking loads of questions about bitcoin. I hope they’re someday thankful that I am a maximalist.
I don’t care if any of you get girlfriends.
Get married and make new Bitcoiners.
I still need to read it. I’m working my way through his collected poems.
Engines warming up before blast off? 🚀
🤔Consider🤔
Below is Kipling’s poem The White Man’s Burden. His lines are considerations of the new found and mishandled responsibility of imperial Anglo nations, having conquered or claimed lands at the four corners of the earth. Where you have conquered you now have a responsibility to maintain.
The dollar conquered more lands, resources, and people in under a century than military forces alone could ever dream of. I’m writing a poem in the vein of Kipling’s that makes observations into the dollars burden in every sphere of life. I’ll release the poem when I get to “21” verses.
For now, enjoy Kipling.
“Take up the White Man's burden -
Send forth the best ye breed -
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild -
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Man's burden -
In patience to abide
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit,
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Man's burden -
The savage wars of peace -
Fill full the mouth of famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch Sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to nought.
Take up the White Man's burden -
No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper -
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living,
And mark them with your dead !
Take up the White Man's burden -
And reap his old reward,
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard -
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah slowly !) towards the light:-
"Why brought ye us from bondage,
"Our loved Egyptian night ?"
Take up the White Man's burden -
Ye dare not stoop to less -
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your Gods and you.
Take up the White Man's burden -
Have done with childish days -
The lightly proffered laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgement of your peers.”
