We are all extremists here on #Nostr 🤣

The argument that religious beliefs are good for society is IMO very week. I see very little correlation between safe, prosperous, high-trust societies and religious beliefs.

What I see is religion beeing used as an effective excuses to do what you would have otherwise already done, bee it good and bad.

The issues with that is of course that we often exempt religious beliefs from the scrutiny and demands we place on other beliefs. Both demands from within and for each others.

You may not believe in God but humans are spiritual creatures.

We want peace with our surroundings and as time goes on we are able to explain more and more about our surroundings but the mysteries of the universe still need an explanation.

We are wired to worship. If you aren’t worshipping God or some other benevolent spiritual manifestation, you may come to worship material things or people.

The incentives of this material worship are warped and can be manipulated by evil.

Being incentivized to do good or else face eternal damnation can be a strong motivator for someone who may be morally gray.

Reputation matters. In meatspace and in the digital cypherpunk future being built now.

PV y’all.

OMFG I just found my old private key?

What do I do now?

Should I stick to #[0], or go back to this account?!?!?

So very conflicted

Maybe it's not all bad, Rust is it's own hellscape in ways

Lost the battle at work. Won’t be writing rust. Back to the hellscape that is JS dev.

Nothing groundbreaking, but the argument against privacy in bitcoin falls on its face when you convey to people that using bitcoin, especially lightning or ecash, etc, is like using cash—with cash, that merchant or person doesn’t necessarily know your identity, goods/services are exchanged, etc.

The world is acting as of bitcoin ushers in this new private nefarious factor that never existed previously. Not true! Always has existed and always will (well, governments are trying to have a say on that as we speak, aren’t they).

Joinmarket still alive and kicking...
