30 minutes and 3 attempts to recharge a phone tariff - for my security. Fiat banking and mindset is so defective

How much would each Nostr user have to donate to generate 15m? For arguments sake, if it were 1000 each, in today's money for Western earners that's 5-10 days or 40-80 hours in wages. Get a group of Nostr Devs and thought thinkers to draft a rough road map and put it out there so everyone could spend an hour a day for a year working on making Nostr better, (from coding to writing, purple pilling...) the input would be worth way more than a single 15m round and still Nostr is decentralised.

I thought I were referring to us having payment chips under our skin

Imagine that decades ago the oligarchs set a plan in motion to convince the world that man is the cause of climate change.

The UN HQ is donated by an oligarch.

To start, they install a live wire called Mr Strong to establish dozens of conservation-based organisations like the WWF, to push the narrative that the environment needs protecting from destructive people. The reserves are earmarked for oilygarchs.

The pinnacle of the plan kicks in in 1992 at Rio. The ICCP report is drafted. 2500 scientists split into 3 groups. Group 1 drafts the thesis of man made climate change. Groups 2 and 3 find backing info. Mr Strong writes his own Working Report, Group 1 adapt their thesis accordingly.

The world is bombarded with headlines like "97% of scientists" scared witless by the consensus findings. Time for change is now, the window of 1.5c limitation action opportunity is closing. Forget the 1000 variables that comprise climate, focus on one gas, made by Mans activity.

Repeat and build the pressure to change global society through fear of an imaginary problem.

When the oligarchs actively promote economic growth that increases CO2 production, questions start being asked. Why?

All sorts of plausible reasons are posited. The elites are greedy psychos fearful of the people, so they drive a financial system that works in their favour to build up even more protection from an inevitable collapse as climate change kicks in.

Except, wait. They are not plausible reasons for driving the Big Everything economy harder. We the people are getting stronger, more educated, living standards are rising. That makes us an even bigger demographic to be fearful of, surely?

Then someone joins the dots. They are pumping Big Everything because it's horrendous underlying polluting, poisonous chemical loaded philosophy is the fastest way to create a global population that is ill, vulnerable to outbreaks of disease that healthy people would brush off. They spread lies about fertility rates, chuckling as so few remember a chemical called glyphisate that now falls as rain, causing infertility, autism and more.

They sprinkle a generous load of war and atrocity into the mix to create chaos, division, immigration...

The elites never eat shit food, always drink clean water, take care of themselves. Keep out the limelight. They don't fight. They sit in smoke-less filled rooms, and watch and wait.

And talk about the day their eugenics plan falls into place and leaves under 1 billion people alive, and all the wealth of the Big Everything plan sitting safely under their control.

That would make for a good book. 99.9% of people would read it thinking that such monsters are the stuff of fiction. The 0.01% would disagree.

Been there, seen it, got the t- shirt . It is a right of passage.

Good luck to the billionaire idiots. Their bodyguards will have the sharpest knives in the bunker.

Look forward to the updates

EU is changing fast. It used to be a great unified bloc, sophisticated even. But the scales of bureaucracy have shifted. It's a natural progression I believe and over reach "simply" requires push back. Push back is healthy and arguably for the good of the bureaucrats who are human too - they get caught up in an idea, lose sight of their aims and screw things up. We are not from the government and we are here to help make sure "they" aren't going to preside over an empty shell

I seem to recall that humans are tactile and the connection between holding and turning pages is a major part of the reading experience. Same with writing, holding a pen and putting it to paper somehow is more in synch with the process of recording thoughts.

Maybe that was a thesis from Ned Ludd, :) but it wouldn't surprise me if we find out that the way we have been using tech has screwed up the writing process. What could have been...The classics were handwritten, they seem to have a certain quality.

Guy Swann was saying there is some sort of preferred contractor/supplier deal between FEMA and name-your-corporation. Hence why they turned away offers of help from various sources. It would be a first if the preferential suppliers' idea of a "fair" price is fair.

It's more like Nostr/lightning allows for micro payments where no middleman is bumping up the "full price". There's still plenty of preview options.

Yessss. Nostr has a killer search app at last! https://advancednostrsearch.vercel.app/?query=chickens&include=followed&npub=npub10dpmrjay77xcu6z2sxsv7h7dfl6puzcxgyd6ssxkwh9th8sdgk3sj39zws

finally #chickens means something useful!

Same idea with an instrument. A guitar in a case under the stairs isn't gong to get played like the one permanently by your side.

hi nostr://npub1fq8vrf63vsrqjrwqgtwlvauqauc0yme6se8g8dqhcpf6tfs3equqntmzut what's the secret to posting a poll?

I sent the DMs to myself, note to self for ways to incentivise uptake. There's nothing better for orange pilling than adding sats to a new wallet and letting someone try it out.

I added the red text. It is too early to expect the non Nostr users to work out what's going on. It's hard enough for Nostr nuts like me to grasp! Basically saying if you want to use the chat to it's full potential sign up to Nostr and get a browser extension and off you go. A big challenge.

I chose my words carefully:)

I remember a guy from a small town who broke into pro cycling and was very successful. Insane hill climber, idolised by his peeps. When he retired and went into business, the same peeps couldn't understand why he was so competitive in business. Some things you can't and maybe shouldn't turn off.

Good luck with that
