But yea, bugs life is one of my favorites. Ice always been a revolutionary futurist at heart.
That's very true. Comfort is nice sometimes but unhelpful at others. A nice balance of comfort and discomfort makes the human condition a good journey lol!
Like make it look like I spent 50 bucks paying a friend for dinner or something? IDK if that's possible.
I wonder how a bitcoin exchange might work on nostr? That would be amazing if we could mask btc purchases from banks that wish to cut off the ramps.
I know in my experience without great suffering I wouldn't have transcended suffering and its cause.
On second thought though, I may be a bit too optimistic. It could be more like 20 years. I think it depends on people realizing that they have the power. I think of the movie a bugs life and how it's so representative of the current times humanity is in.
The grasshoppers are stealing all our food and many think they are powerless to stand up and say "enough!" So recognizing we have the power to choose what money we want to use is imperative.
Humans tend to unfortunately need suffering to recognize the problem. Perhaps it's biological, like how we have pain responses in our body when we get hurt.
As they say it takes a ton of heat and pressure to make a diamond from coal.
5 years? I tend to think adoption may happen quicker than people think as economic pressure on citizens increases and bitcoin maintains its value.
#[2] wow thank you so much for the zap! Followed!
The senses can perceive less than 1% of the so-called electromagnetic spectrum ... many experts put that number at .0035%.
For the purposes of any ontosophical inquiry "the senses" include seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting, touching, and thinking. In Buddhist and Taoist based philosophies the senses imply 6 senses ... and that the 6 senses is one sense of feeling. The 6 senses and the feelings arising from them are perceptions from the past.
“Phenomenally, we can know no present, as it must be in the ‘past’ before our senses can complete the process of recording it, leaving only a suppositional past and future; noumenally, there is no question of ‘past’ or ‘future,’ but only a presence that knows neither ‘time’ nor ‘space.’ ” Wei Wu Wei.
Is it any wonder that Spiritual Beings such as Buddha viewed the senses as an obstacle to Awakening ... as they can only perceive such a small portion of the EMF, which is itself an illusion ... the universal Dream.
"As man unfolds from sensed man to Spiritual Man he gradually becomes aware of the two-way motion of all effect" - Walter Russell.
All motion originates within the EMF ... that is, Divided Light.
all that Awakened Beings have uncovered, and promote, is the realization of one's own Mind ... which is synonymous with Undivided Light ... the Fulcrum upon which divided light effects its motion. Mind is not the brain ... look it up!
Thoughts and Feelings are energetic formations ... and the amount of sensory input that today's society absorbs is never like before. For a mental example, in the 1980's a philosopher said that a person processes more information from a Sunday newspaper than a person in 198 CE processed in a lifetime.
The nature of Divided Light is not to Divide, but to show the Way Home ... and that pathway is Unfabricated Present Awareness.

Thank you for the zap friend! Followed!
Mahamudra isn't for everyone but lama lena has been one of my best teachers. When you recognize the nature of mind the stillness in the midst of all that comes and goes frees you from mental inertia that is unhelpful so that you can build the world you want to see without distraction.
You are a great human being doing great things for the future of humanity jack!
Amazing! Here's some sats!
Honestly i think showing people works better than telling in most things. For example I don't tell people to be good, I show them what it looks like.
This mission to free humanity from oppressive systems of control would be much more difficult without all you shadowy super coders. I am forever grateful for the work you do for all humankind!
Is this for the lightning channel factories?
Dude slaying the parasites. Fuck the fiat overlords. What gives them the right to decide what money we use? They are not special. It's only because the people haven't realized their own power to choose.
It's a tortoise and hare game between everything else and bitcoin as I see it.
Definitely sustainable.
💯 traditional media has been used to manipulate minds and divide using the tactics Edward bernays laid out in the 30's. If you want to keep people from realizing what they have in common you use small differences and make them a huge deal. Rev up both sides of debate with emotion.
I've watched this work time and again. It won't work on nostr or bitcoiners because we all know we have that one thing in common and it's power to unify is stronger than all the divisive tactics governments and the media they use to manipulate minds can muster.
We all know fix the money, fix the world!
