I can explain it for you, but I can’t understand it for you. The Dude Stacks; The Dude Abides

It’s a natural progression. The conflict with the IRA was Britains own “Patriot Act” moment. They’ve had ANPR (license plate recognition), and CCTV everywhere for years.

There is no constitution, so no concept of 4th amendment. If you get pulled over driving in the UK, they’ve already established via ANPR whether you have a license, if the car is inspect, if you have insurance, if you have any outstanding warrants or prior convictions. Facial recognition (LFR) has been deployed for over a decade.

Suppressing speech is simply the next step.

And the one who stacks #bitcoin knowing that he will never benefit from spending them, has also started to understand the meaning of life. #forthekids

Default right now, but I’m very tempted by dark mode and purple!

Time to remind ourselves about the source and impact of Dunning-Kruger and a Ultracrepidarianism that drives most of the #Bitcoin criticism we see today.

Thanks to nostr:npub1hrctsg2qwu5gsp65gvj29968z460g0th755jq92c8uaz620lewmq6qk525 for the reminder!

I’d even go one step further and say that many from tradfi suffer from a problem known as ultracrepidarianism. This phenomenon comes from a person having a particularly well developed knowledge set (let’s say tradfi bond markets) and they believe that this bestows high levels of expertise in many other areas of adjacency (Bitcoin for example). The term comes from the Latin “ne supra crepidam sutor iudicaret” has its roots in a story involving the ancient Greek painter Apelles and a shoemaker, meaning “let the shoemaker not judge beyond the sandal.”

Then I’d call that a fine cup of coffee! Bravo sir!

Can 100% relate, however for myself I might argue that it could be a shade or two darker. 🫖

“Woke” is often used pejoratively to describe those with differing views, particularly regarding “social justice”.

It’s also often used to virtue signal to others of a similar mindset their alignment with the shared ideology, or when used pejoratively aims to provoke a negative reaction from others.

And to add to this, with the advent of the BitAxe miner there’s no reason not to run your own miner.

Same, I ended up moving to another distro (mynodebtc.com) - not had a spot of bother since. But then mynode isn’t as fancy and doesn’t do as many other things. It just does a really good job of being a node for btc and LN and other ecosystem stuff (jam, nostr, etc).

Walk in the woods everyday. Meditate upon waking, and before sleeping.

Journal in the stoic tradition, after nighttime meditation with a clear head to give day perspective.

What good did I do?

Where can I improve?

How well did I interact with those around me? Did I treat them with respect owed?

Did I concern myself with things beyond my control?

Did I spend my scarce time wisely?

Were my actions today in accordance with the person I wish to be or become?
