Everyone wants rules.

This is why so many people blindly followed what the authorities said, even if it didn't make any sense. There's comfort in having rules. Comfort in thinking you are being told the truth.

Trust was what was abused and until people recognize their own exploitation, they won't wake up to the lies they've been told.

COVID has made me much less hopeful for the roughly half of the population that just gave in. These are all rule-followers that want order, even at the cost of reality distortion.

On the other hand, for the other half of the population that didn't give in, there is a lot of hope. These are people that I think are destined to adopt Bitcoin.

What did you do on the 4th of July?

🤔 Well, I got my commercial printer up and running, and started to print some #Bitcoin Stickers 😎🤙

Mempools will clear

I do intermittent fasting, but not on purpose.

You see I'm too lazy to cook so I just wait until I feel like I'm gonna die.

Which is usually around 3pm

Verdict: Incredible. Happy 4th y’all! 🇺🇸

My pleasure, Michael. Feel free to ask any other question about Stoicism.

I can recommend "The Stoic Reader" by Brad Inwood. It contains some of the most important sources for Greek Stoicism. Another great collection of sources is "Hellenistic philosophers", volume 1 by Anthony Long and David Sedley. Cicero's philosophical writings are also important but since he is not a Stoic himself and since he has his own agenda he should be read with caution. Seneca is hugely important. In my opinion, he is the single most important source since he is a dedicated Stoic himself and offers in depth treatments of an incredible amount of topics in Stoicism. Obviously, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius are also important but, in my opinion, Cicero and Seneca goes into much greater depth.
