As we found out during covid, if you disrupt a system, it can be incredibly difficult to just get it going again. And this applies to malignant systems too.

Four years may not be sufficient to enact meaningful changes in state systems, particularly when older generations maintain rigid worldviews. True transformation demands a generational shift in thinking that sees the state not merely as an instrument of control and edification, but as a platform that offers a flexible framework for action, facilitating collective cooperation among people.

Dude, Trump looks old as shit and worn down. Every interview is rambling and tired. The presser yesterday was hard to watch.

He isn't anywhere near the same guy he was in 2016.

Now, the people around him and actually doing these things is a different matter. Mostly young, energetic, smart.

lol what have you been smoking? Elon spends half his time on twitter and Trump is literally ancient.

They’ve hired some folks who will presumably do some good work (with some downsides) but those two are…. Not it.

The feed is:

“Trump and Musk are bypassing all the controls we had in place, they’re literally overthrowing the constitution by ignoring Congress”

“Trump and Musk are saving democracy by throwing out all the unelected officials that actually control the government and installing the will of the people”

Y’all need to chill the fuck out, dear god everyone has lost their damn minds.

He hates that his primary user base, and thus customer base and source of any revenue, likes to use Apple devices.

AppStore controls are one of the biggest restrictions on free speech on the internet and somehow we don’t acknowledge it. The reason it’s such a big point of control is that competing with the duopoly is nearly impossible. It’s market capture.

Who enjoys listening to Dave Collum?

I love your writing... but don't always have time to read a book 😉 Have you thought about including a tl;dr version as well for us ADHD people that don't have 37 mins to read it? I would feed it through one of the llm, but would rather have your approved summary to make sure it doesn't miss any of your key points.

A simple BIP guideline could help get a fuller grasp though. I took it that way.

Did your ultracompact BIP get any more traction since you posted it here?

There is a non-trivial risk that any bitcoin that you obtain today will be worth meaningfully less 24hrs later.

That’s a simple fact. Some day, that’ll cease to be true, and you’ll know that day has arrived because your electrician will ask you to pay him in bitcoin. nostr:note15v6qcxl8y797ta3t3skp7rfvktd34ccgmrejngy6cp6ry7207phs276070

I can't listen to Whitney tell us all the ways we are going to lose anymore.

When I first started looking into monetary reset, it was to find out how we could win. How good households could navigate the coming storm. Brutal optimism overcoming a naive sleep state.

The playbook hasn't changed: become expensive to tyranny. They will fail. Get out of the blast radius. Focus on your people. Do good. Mock evil. Trust God.
