I’m not taking a side here, just hoping to understand how you decided on yours as opposed to some that equally intelligent and dedicated folks seem to choose instead.
So far it sounds like you’d say that there is this moral principle of doing no harm which you see as fundamental, and this is the main reason you believe in objectivism?
So with that, how do you balance the harm done to future sentient beings with those of today? If you must harm, how do you balance harm done to people afar vs close by?
Generally speaking, how did you come to decide that you understand objective morality and others who disagree are wrong as opposed to the other way around (epistemology)?

Maybe it’s my Nostr app not showing everything here, but where did you use the word culture? Want to make sure I don’t miss parts as I’m reading through your messages again 🫂
That would be individual relativism not cultural relativism.
How do you know your moral objectivism isn’t just cultural relativism?
Philosophers debate, whether moral truth is objective, relative to a society, or relative to an individual (cultural relativism, individual relativism)
Each of those 3 possibilities contain their own problems. Why would you say that objectivism is superior to group-relativism?
Relativism vs Objectivism ready… fight!
The police assert control over your body. And when they have to, they will put your life at major risk in the service of them doing so with the least possible risk to themselves. Someday we’ll have robots that surround people and patiently carry them away to wherever the police want them instead of nervous, lethally armed people of average intelligence. It sounds dystopian, but is the status quo better?
BlueWallet do not host LN wallets for users anymore
Yeah.. that would be nice.
Love this. Instead of sending guys in there guns blazing that could figure out it was just a BB gun. Why do they need to question him? Biggest yikes was that they all freaked out over noticing a guy was armed. This should be normal.
1 BTC should be at least 1% of its maximum theoretical value (32T 2023 dollars) in a few hundred years - so like a few hundred million 2023 dollars.
1. Memorize your seed.
2. Prove you have the seed by signing something a message just before death and giving them the xpub
3. Tell them if they succeed they can have the balance
4. Enjoy trust-minimized cryogenic preservation
Can replies be bridged back or is that the property of Twitter?
Gotta check out Mexico 😀

People will really be like,
"It's totally fine to have my phone against my face and balls 24/7; I googled it and the top 3 search results said it's fine!"
Do you really think google wants you to know that their phones are microwaving your DNA?
How about any of the other multi-billion dollar Big Tech companies with an unlimited amount of marketing money to sway public opinion?
"But there aren't enough STUDIES proving EMFs are definitely causing all of these problems, which are just now starting to appear out of nowhere"
Yes, YOU ARE the study, ya goof. Phones, smartwatches, 5G towers, etc. haven't been around long enough for us to track their effects on the human body for a full lifetime, and even when we do reach a future point where that's possible, there are so many confounding factors that it would be impossible to draw firm conclusions--only epidemiological hypotheses.
The question is this:
How much of a lab rat do you want to be in this experiment?
Of course it's impossible to 100% avoid EMFs in this day and age, but there are plenty of factors we can control to keep the negative effects at a minimum, while still enjoying the perks technology offers us:
- Never hold your phone against your face
- Keep it on airplane mode when you're not using it (especially if you're holding it in your pocket)
- Absolutely no wireless earbuds
- GROUND more often, in dirt, grass or sand, to cleanse your body of the free radicals you've accumulated
- Take frequent breaks to look at the horizon/faraway objects so your eyes don't lose their focus-elasticity/develop myopia
- Build a trebuchet with enough range to snipe every 5G tower in your neighborhood
Infinite ways to increase your safety, and opt out of unknown, potentially harmful effects.
Your health is everything. Set goals for yourself to decrease bad habits and increase good ones, then give yourself a pat on the back for being more proactive than 99% of the mindlessly-consuming sheep on earth today.

Why do people say that microwaves are more dangerous than the much more energetic light that the molecules themselves emit?
Cool. Maybe drone shipments could make real life onion routing economical.
