“The new tech sector had a libertarian ethos about it. They didn’t care about the government and its bureaucrats. They didn’t have lobbyists in Washington. They were the new technologies of freedom and didn’t care much about the old analogue world of command and control. They would usher in a new age of people power.”
I was there. It was glorious. And now…
“Here we sit a quarter-century later with documented evidence that the opposite happened. The private sector collects the data that the government buys and uses as a tool of control. What is shared and how many people see it is a matter of algorithms agreed upon by a combination of government agencies, university centers, various nonprofits, and the companies themselves. The whole thing has become an oppressive blob.”
The good news: Bitcoin gives us a way out and way back. Many just don’t know it yet.

“How is it different from the past? It’s different in degree and reach. The corporatist machine now manages the main products and services in our civilian life including the entire way we get information, how we work, how we bank, how we contact friends, and how we buy. It is the manager of the whole of our lives in every respect, and has become the driving force of product innovation and design. It has become a tool for surveillance in the most intimate aspects of our lives, including financial information and inclusive of listening devices we’ve willingly installed in our own homes.” 💯
How does one opt out apart from moving to a third world country and decreasing “standard of life” where the tentacles of American corporatism still pry into? The world we live in.
The land of the free has become the land of death by a thousand cuts. The decay many Americans don’t want to come to grip w/ is manifesting in a failure to thrive, sickness & death. State autonomy means little, sadly. Vote harder to maintain your American Dream (and the State). 
While so many seem to be concerned about NGU and ETF approval, instead maybe be thinking about how the State’s monopoly on violence and thus, the endless mechanisms at their disposal, can completely capture your “freedom money.”
Instead of trying to work within the State’s rigged political structure (love you BPI), maybe realize that civil disobedience amongst a growing populace is a the ONLY answer.
People have researched & purchased airfare & lodging.
They have checked the weather,
packed their bags,
kissed their loved ones goodbye,
& are willing to deal w/ TSA & the inept airline industry

Tomorrow night, we are initiating a new Member perk by kicking off the nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha movie series with the cult classic, “The Big Lebowski”. White Russians will be served & jelly sandals worn. Perhaps bowling afterwards?

I do a morning post in our nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha Members Discord channel. This was today’s:
Morning!
We get to share in a pretty fantastic space. A space that encourages tapping into the creative side of our brains. A space where level-headed, refreshing reasoning takes place in the context of community with actual real live humans, all generally working toward a similar goal. That’s pretty damn special!
As we reflect on this place, may we thank nostr:npub1atn7mlwt08erz4ap47gef92xfey65a4z9ed9vec53u5kc9v94pusl6h4x3 & nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx who made it happen. 🙏
