Would that it were so…

but, historically, it has mostly been thus.

One of the things I like about nostr is that we have a billionaire here who is active on the platform and doesn’t take it personally when their vast wealth is impugned.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the similarities between “crypto” and “spirituality.”

Both have charlatans, salesmen, and aspiring influencers. Ultimately, it’s up to each individual to avoid identifying with the spiritual path, or relying too much on the student-disciple frame, or become trapped by a guru or specific teaching, and, instead, to see for themselves, directly. In a way, you could say that consciousness is “open source,” in that it’s available for anyone to inspect the code of perceptual/conceptual reality for themselves.

Anyone can sit down and, after settling into stillness, look for what’s looking.

It’s just that few do.

Gen X getting ignored.

We’re used to it. We don’t care. [shrugs]

Man, you libertarians are so funny with your “do not bend the knee” ethos when, in the face of POTENTIAL retaliation from Trump, Bezos “obeys in advance.”

People are right to be upset when national newspapers decline to endorse because they are afraid of the consequences, especially when Bezos explicitly promised to never interfere with the WaPo.

I *know* you didn’t mean this way but, “All they do is curate” makes it sound somewhat trivial. LOL.
