The taxes are

Just checked out the recipe. Whoa! 24 hours? Honey, Jack, and that slice mix sounds awesome, too 🤤

> Earth sized problems

This is the problem paradigm. We are too concerned with earth's problems and not concerned enough about our neighbors'. Localize your efforts and you will find progress and fulfillment.

If each locale solves its own local problems, no global problem needs solving. Global problems are the sum of local problems.

To "Love thy neighbor" is the second greatest command of the greatest man to walk the earth, but He said nothing of loving earth. Zoom in, not out.

I love being generous to my neighbors. I have no similar pride in paying taxes. The neighbors-first approach is not only more naturally human and rewarding, it just might actually be better for us.

My point has been that the current default hurts society in the long run. A neighbors-first approach is much more moral and for sure more efficient.

A "communal pool of value" should not exist. Likewise for its distribution and the potential for fraud.

If one is in need, let him go to his neighbor. If his neighbor is unable or unwilling, let him go to another. If the second neighbor is alike to the first, let the needy go to the community and find support there. Communities ought always to endeavor to support their needy as they see fit. If a community is overburdened, let its leaders approach the neighboring communities until the needs of their members are fulfilled.

Employing the state in support of individuals is to subvert the authority and autonomy of the community and is a violation of subsidiarity.

For sure! I'm actually doing things. My mission is to restore Catholic virtue to business principles, especially in marketing, how we think of labor and trade, and what we know about what money is (spoiler: fiat is an imposter, and Bitcoin is real).

Feel free to use my papers/essays for your use too.

That's sad, but I likewise am not yet able to support my parents if they became in need.

If it can be imagined, some perv has done it.

Same. If the gov't didn't take 25-35% of our income, it'd be a lot more possible. Also, if they didn't continually devalue our default currency.

> if you can't...

That's why I said "default".

What one does when he employs the force of the government to tax his neighbors to support him in old age is in effect a broad, legal theft at the point of a gun. It (1) robs the neighbors of their wealth, (2) creates great inefficiencies with hungry middle men, (3) creates bad incentive structures (no more incentive to invest in neighbors while able bodied), and finally (4) robs his neighbors secondarily of the opportunity to make the charitable gift to him in supporting him in old age.

The government can be the supporter of **last resort**, but by no means the default.

Thanks, fiat and fractional reserve lending 🎉 You've ruined real estate twice (thrice?) in my lifetime 👍 Couldn't have happened without you 🫶 can't wait to see them all lose their shirts again when the market crashes just in time for Christmas 🎄

Hot take: children should be the default retirement plan.

If you do not contribute to the future of society, why should society contribute to yours?

PS: Children are social security; what the gov't calls social security is actually a scam.

Relays Need a CDN type system, which will sync between themselves and distribute content independently. They may load-balance their connections in a way that is transparent to the clients. It will look like one relay to clients but will be multiple.

Independent relays may join a pool/constellation, and the master relay coordinate the slave relays together. Automated analysis can manage the slave relays, maybe distributing a portion of member fee according to real/paid client connections, easily verifiable by new signed notes relayed. It will also boot low performance relays that drop connections.

The trick will be in DNS, I think.

That means they didn't mean it when they made the first vow. Why would the second be more genuine? The gift is a congratulations for the commitment, which was obviously ill placed, and you are right to feel like it was wasted.

I'm sure this has been said, but I believe it's cultural.

Wallstreet wolves, Central banksters, "black 'hood", and urban gangsters are all just bad culture, not a race. They only just happen to also attract people by skin color, but it does not come from their color.

We must distinguish between culture and race.

Five genetic races can be observed: Caucasoid, Mongoloid race, Negroid, American Indian, and Malayan. "Black" is not one of them, and nor ought we let it stand for one. "Black" is a culture that needs abandoning, just the same as "white", if there was a culture that could be called it. One may call Nazi "white culture", that is a culture centered around white skin color, and it's basically non-existent anymore.

I happen to be 95% Caucasoid, 2% Mongoloid, 3% American Indian, but my culture comes from my religion, which was founded in the Middle East and developed in Europe.

Dump bad culture.

The technical point of TikTok is really easy video production, "stitching" reactions, duet or side by side collab, and using other's sounds in videos.

I particularly like that like one.

Why do clockmakers keep making clocks that only tell minutes and hours?

Because they don't shop at second hand stores.
