I'm not rooting for anyone.
And also you're seeing him as someone in an authoritative position; I'm just seeing him as a person.
Not that with your beliefs, you'll run for office tmr, but let's say it you were, is it bad some people think you're a better candidate?? Should I right away put you in a box just because you're going this route? (I actually suspect your answer would be "yes", lol.)
And just because we think someone might be a better choice for an inevitable position doesn't mean we don't want to build and just want to depend on that person. That's too black and white assumption.
To think no one else ever would do something to help is also false. Someone somewhere did invent this very thing that connects us and gives us hope right now.
And to believe the above doesn't right away makes me believe they have authority over me or can dictate my life.
Being skeptical is a good thing.
I myself would like to know whether that is his Nostr account. But it's just curiosity, not a make it or break it kind of deal. And if it's meant to be used for the campaign, it's probably some staffer posting on it and it doesn't bother me.
Does Michael saylor post each of his own notes? Why no one's bothered by that?
I'm curious, what actions of Kennedy's would you like to see?
I don't have my hopes up. I'm not my hope on him or anyone or in the political system.
It's very interesting to me that the moment we mention a politician or public figure that's not a Bitcoiner, many right away think now we depend on others to save us. That's untrue.
And depending on companies, including KYCed Bitcoin companies, is in the same category with this thinking, which many do (not saying you're particularly).
Per whether he is a politician, please see in my other comment.
You have a good weekend as well!
Yea I don't disagree with you either. I just don't think people should judge the situation before they learn about it.
Yea no cheerleading either here.
Yea I don't think blindly trusting anyone is a good idea. Thus I said "don't trust, verify!"
I guess I met enough regular people who were running for local offices so I don't think a non-politician running is considered a politician. But ironically, I do disagree their approach of thinking politics is what's going to fix what needs to be fixed.
Yes, what one does to back up their stance is more important and candidates are known for making empty promises, but personally, I don't see Bitcoin is just an issue for his campaign. What he stood for and worked in is aligned with him arriving at Bitcoin.
Actually put some effort into my looks today. 🤦🤦
Long time coming.
Watched RFK, Jr.'s speech. Checks out for me. Passed my bullshit-dar so far.
For people who're skeptical, you should be. "Don't trust, verify!", right?
But for people who just jump in and say they don't trust him because he's a politician, for one, he's not a politician. He's been a life-long defense lawyer. Just because he's running for a political position doesn't make him a politician.
Tbh, I was nervous about seeing his speech cuz I didn't want to see a politician-kind of thing, which Tulsy Gabbard actually did at one point with her smirk and circling around in an interview and immediately turned me off from her for good.
Secondly, just because one chooses not to have government solving any problems doesn't mean at the current moment there's no such thing as government. And since somebody would have to be in that presidential seat, it might as well be someone that's more on the right path than any other candidates.
This doesn't mean you have to vote or donate to anybody, but living purely from an ideal that can not manifest today is not helping. If RFK, Jr. were not going to be the president, someone will be and it'll most likely be someone less congruent with this community.
Indeed, if not everyone, in some areas of their life.
Yea, definitely one of the areas this applies to.
Sure thing.
Let me know your thoughts when you read it. I'm just on the 2nd chapter and it's been on my list forever.
Haha, you hate which part? The message itself or that I applied it to orange pilling??
This is from a book on healing PTSD. But this passage made me think right away how some people need to hear the same message over and over to overcome their own conditioning.
You can apply however you see fit, or not.
Please don't literally drag your colleagues anywhere. 😄😄
Sad, but I totally get it.
"The familiarity".
It's a thick book on healing PTSD. Pretty much the must-read on that topic.
This can be applied to so many scenarios in personal abusive situations and on a large scale.
From "The body keeps the score".
Why? Because they didn't know what a pencil is?? 😆😆
Only correct way to sharpen a pencil. 😄
