People who have decided to value authenticity and reality enjoy their raw takes.

On the Meyers-Briggs psychometric assessment, it's likely to be NTs, intuitive thinkers and perhaps NFs, intuitive feelers.

But NTs especially because their authentic but (sometimes) blunt and confrontational style fits their need for debate as a form of caring and intimacy. ENTPs, or NTs in general see debate almost as a love language, since they may think, "If you won't fight with me, how do I know you will stick around when things get tough?"

Speaking the truth bluntly is the NTs way of saying, "I love you. I care about you."

One of the reasons I quit photography was because I learned I could find beauty almost anywhere, so I decided to put down my camera, a Cannon 550D, and notice the beauty with my eyes and memory. I felt less empty and more full that way.

May I give you a tip?

Once you're loaded and you have the mansion and lambo, think about doing what you can to create culture.

Government and laws are downstream of culture, and if you think about it, that's what Bitcoin enables us to do. It frees our time enabling us to take that time and create and think about culture, and frankly, a vision of humanity that is an improvement over fiat culture bullshit.

We can, and will, make every country we reside in reflect the values and culture of Bitcoin, with is money born of truth.

"Bitcoin is a permissionless money system, meaning that no matter your class, your standing with the government, how your brother feels about you, regardless of your gender or age, you can obtain and save Bitcoin and then use it when it’s opportune to do so." (Chapter Fifteen)

I mention, "no matter...how your brother feels about you," because in Saudi Arabia, women have needed their brother's permission to take certain actions.

I'm really glad to hear that. I'm honored.

Now, if you could get like a million other people to read it too. ;-)

By the way, we just updated the subtitle on the English version to, "How Bitcoin will Reshape Marriage, Societies, the State, Trade, and Empower the Third World."

Also my wife just translated, and we just published Benefits of Bitcoin in Swedish!

My respect for you just shot up two points. :-)

I think Elon Musk thinks integrating porn into the Grok app is going to motivate people to have more kids.

It's like, dude, if porn motivated people to have more kids, Japan would have an exploding population.

He hasn't done his research, and it's going to backfire on him notwithstanding some intervention like Bitcoin and Nostr.

Here, we're proliferating having babies culture.

Because Bitcoin and Nostr culture is all about life, legacy, and making Earth into Heaven.

Learning to think in Bitcoin is literally learning a new language.

And psychologically, we know that when a person learns a new language, they build a new personality.

Therefore, if you want to grow, learn to think in Bitcoin units.

If people understood the realities they lived in beyond what they can see, it would totally wreck their beliefs.

What I look forward to is the day when all secrets are revealed. For many people it's going to be painful. For me it's going to be vindicating.

We are building a culture in Nostr and Bitcoin that will proliferate the culture of the world.

And no one can stop it.

Bitcoin and Nostr will help end war.

No one can stop decentralized, emergent price consensus, because it is an objective truth.

This is why Bitcoin can't be stopped.

Even if by some miracle Bitcoin shut down, no one could kill the idea, because truth can't be killed.

This is an extraordinary and tectonic level systemic and fundamental of reality achievement.

Sure, I'll find a chapter for you and once you DM me 1000 sats, I'll send it over.

I want to set this up for selling our ebooks. How can I do this?

"Should" can be a shallow substitute for integrated identity.

When a person finds out who they really are, many of the things they "should" do come forth automatically.

If you don't like how I relate to the Holy Spirit, and how he relates to me, that's your problem. We have an intimate relationship and he's one of my best friends. He's more than willing to hear out your complaints about our relationship, but I don't think you're going to like his response.

I think your response is fucking shitty as hell, and you can take that literally. I think your demons have too much access to your tongue. Clearly you have a lot to learn about the nature of Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit, who are the most humble people that exist and love to serve, and lead through service.

Scripture is God's word, but scripture isn't God.

When you center yourself on scripture absent an intimate relationship with God, you will come out with shaming, judgmental takes like this one.

Clearly, you're quite religious and probably quite legalistic and obviously judgmental.

It's obvious based on your manipulative and error ridden, caustic response you don't understand how God wants to relate to people.

For the sake of other people who will read this, God is perfect, good, and unlimited. He wants intimacy and closeness with you, which he demonstrates repeatedly through scripture, from Adam to Revelations 21, from King David to Moses to Jesus Himself, who is one with the Father and abided in the Father's love.

Jesus died and rose again to bring you into intimate relationship with the Father, and wants to be one with you. Please don't believe Contra's lies.

Contra, you can continue to misunderstand and respond caustically, manipulatively, and controllingly if you want to, and if that's the case, I'll mute you. But if you want to dial back your attitude and seek first to understand then to be understood with some humility and kindness, we can continue to interact.

Otherwise, have a nice life.

Apparently you can.

"Ownership in this sense is about covenantal responsibility, not property." I truly wish that was the case, but Laser's initial assertion betrays that value.

"My daughters are too valuable for a career."

The problem isn't so much Laser's opinion or believe. It's that he's already undermining and relating to them through a lens of, "You're incapable of competence." It's incredibly condescending, and it's a lie that's already damaging them.

"a line in the sand." What line? You're not allowed to work? That's not a good idea.

My personal philosophy of parenting seems quite different from yours, or Laser's. Whether it's a son or daughter, it's not fundamentally a father's responsibility to clear the weeds and point to the path worth walking. "Don't be careful. Be competent."

It's fundamentally a father's responsibility, beyond the practicals of food and shelter, to help and inspire their son or daughter to discover their voice and identity as designed by God, to give them a base of security in part by making sure they know they are loved no matter what, to emotionally coach them in how to handle themselves intrapersonally and interpersonally, to teach them what boundaries are and how to assert them, and to give them the tools necessary to make decisions that lead to Heavenly outcomes, personally and generally. Or, in your language, to teach them how to pick the weeds and clear the way, in intimate partnership and relationship with God, because to some degree that's how they learn, how they become competent, and grow in character.

I don't think Laser is making god's of his daughters or of their autonomy. I think he's worshipping his own judgement, probably without asking God what He wants Laser to teach his daughters. I could be wrong, but that's the way it seems to me.

I would hope what you're saying is the case. The problem is, Contra is backing Laser's initial assertion which was in part, "My daughters are too valuable for a career." Perhaps it's only an opinion he has no intention to implement, but Laser's demeanor suggests that's not the case.

An assertion like that implies, not that he wants to do the best for his daughters while they are under his care. It suggests that he wants to make choices for whether or not they choose a career, which he is obviously against. The rest of Lasers posts, and what Contra has to some extent supported, is the idea that a woman can't become fully integrated in character and competence to the degree that she would be able to make good choices as it regards what she would do with her life. Laser and perhaps Contra don't believe their daughters can make good choices for themselves, which will undermine and harm them emotionally, and in their belief systems, because their inner voices are in large part programmed by their dads, since one of a father's primary responsibilities is imparting identity.

Since there is no such thing as compartmentalization, and everything is connected, this essentially means that Laser and Contra believe girls and women are incapable of running their own lives, so they or another man must do it. Nevermind their daughters relationship with Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit or becoming fully spiritually, psychologically, and physically integrated, because if their daughters take their father's path, especially as Laser has articulated, they would never discover their own voices and gain in character and competence, because they wouldn't be allowed to make their own choices, make their own mistakes, nor learn their own lessons.

If Laser and Contra want to rob their daughters of their opportunities to make and learn from their own choices, whether it's the daily things or their life choices, unless their daughters take the initiative on their own once out from under their households, they'll enter adulthood with incompetence and likely lack character as well, and that's not good.

Their daughters, depending on their ages, are unlikely to be able to notice what's happening, only experiencing a vague sense hurt and not being believed in that won't surface for many years in explicated language. But I'm more than willing to confront Laser's, and if Contra wants to back him up, deeply flawed thinking if there is the smallest chance it will save their daughters from experiencing immense pain that they would deal with for years.

Belonging is in the category of family.

Owning is in the category of property.

Conflating these leads to problems in the violations of interpersonal boundaries, that God has endowed to each person, and child.

Men are responsible for leading and stewarding their father relationship to their kids, because they belong to him. But he doesn't own them. And thinking he does own them is a categorical error, not only in how he relates to them but also in terms of implicitly believing he is God.

And that's the arrogance Laser is inadvertently demonstrating. No person gets to decide for another person their life choices, including their career. That is the person's choice alone.

So if a father insists on making that choice for his daughter, he is implicitly communicating, "I know better than you." And, "I don't trust you to make choices for yourself " And is entering into a version of codependence and enmeshment. And that is dishonoring towards her, and by extension, God. Because he's saying he doesn't trust God to be God of his daughter.

Do fathers get to steward their households? Yes.

Do they get to control their children's lives once those children have grown to adulthood and can make their own choices?

No.

HFSP

Conflating leadership with ownership will damage his daughters, their voice, and how they relate to God. Except for their choices to assert their autonomy despite his control and manipulation, and God's intervention, they would be lost.

Yep.

God doesn't make life choices for his children.

Neither should fathers.

There's a difference between headship and ownership. He implied that he's not going to allow them to have a career, which is a life choice he doesn't get to make unless they give him their power, and is extremely dysfunctional. Filtering good or bad dating and husband prospects while they are minors is a good idea, but dictating whether or not they will have a career when they are adults is treating them like objects, and isn't good headship. And like I asked Laser, how long is he planning to make their life choices for them?

Now they need to return all the money they've stolen from their users.

The reality is God doesn't control his emotions, He's in touch with them and ours, and He's the most dangerous, good, humble being that exists, so it behooves all men to emmulate Him.

The most dangerous men are in touch with their emotions.

I operate from this foundation, and with this end in mind.

Romans 8:1-2

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Jesus is perfect theology.

Jesus is the Truth.

Heaven on Earth, according to the will of the Father.

"Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come.

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven."

From Revelations 21

I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

Contra, God the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit have emotions and interact with them in a healthy and functional way. But controlling emotions, rather than relating to them like God does and has designed human's emotional systems to operate, is not a good idea since you're only as sick as your secrets and buried feelings never die. When a person attempts to control their emotions rather than relate to them lovingly and respectfully, they end up with a pile of unfelt emotions and feelings, which leads to acting out in unhealthy, perhaps codependent behaviors.

I didn't say sin is "just private." I said whether or not I sin is none of YOUR business, but I guess you can try to put words in my mouth if you want to, that's on you.

What I should have said earlier instead of saying sin has nothing to do with one's development of emotional intelligence, which isn't true, is that whether or not a person sins doesn't negate my point that dangerous men are in touch with their emotions. I'm not trying to assert that a person should ignore sin and simply build emotional intelligence. Because you've insisted on asserting that controlling one's emotions is a better way of operating, which I disagree with, what I'm saying is that operating as one with God, including relating to one's heart and/or emotions, in order to be dangerous and in touch with one's emotions as God does, is a healthier and more functional way of living.

When a person comes to grok how God's designed a person's emotions to work, and relate to and steward them well as God has intended, then it helps to produce positive life outcomes. The same goes for how to operate in relationship with one's spirit, soul as a whole, and body, and more.

When a person operates in Christ as one with God, sin isn't the focus, God is. In this context, sin isn't even appealing or desirable because a person is operating out of the desire and value set of God, in some sense. Some Christians, which may include you, like to maintain a focus or a fear of sin, rather than Jesus, and so end up becoming sin centered rather than Jesus centered. Personally, I'd rather abide in relationship to Jesus and his and the Father and the Holy Spirit's love, taking his perspective on all things in some sense, rather than worshipping sin by focus on it or becoming obsessed with it, since what we worship is what we become. Yes, sin exists and a person should repent, confess it to God and a trustworthy community if they happen to commit sin, but Christians are not longer sinners, but saint with the righteousness of Jesus as their core nature. Because of being made the righteousness of Jesus, Christians are no longer inclined to sin though it remains a possibility because they have agency.

The self-control Galatians 5:22 speaks to could be more accurately interpreted or translated as self-direction, the ability to make choices and follow through on them.

"But Scripture calls us to rule our spirits (Proverbs 16:32)" In some sense, you're conflating one's spirit with one's emotions, but these are not technically the same. I would ask you not to conflate emotions and spirit, but to distinguish between them.

Jesus died and rose from the dead for a number of reason, which include salvation, but certainly do not end there. Jesus died and rose again to free us from sin, to provide a path to the Father, and to make us whole in spirit, soul, body, heart, mind, will, and emotions.

Isaiah 61:1

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,

because the Lord has anointed me

to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the BROKENHEARTED,

to proclaim freedom for the captives

and release from darkness for the prisoners.

Men and women are called to steward and direct and lead their emotions, not control them, and one of the reasons we know this is because emotions can't be controlled, they can in some sense only be related to. So it behooves men and women to relate to them well, to notice, accept, validate, discuss them with Father, Jesus, and/or Holy Spirit, and have them healed if they are negative emotions or feelings. As I've said before, feelings are good indicators but bad dictators.

Healthy and functional people seek a balance between being dangerous (competent) and being in touch with the emotions and or feelings they are experiencing, under the leadership of their spirit, under the leadership of Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. This brings them under the will of God. Jesus is certainly conscious of the emotions of people, and wants them to experience joy and peace and to get healed of sadness and pain:

John 15:11 - "These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full."

Isaiah 26:3 - "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you."

Revelations 21:4 - "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Therefore, the idea that Jesus didn't die so that we could feel good is absurd and unscriptural. That is exactly one of the intents of Jesus death and resurrection, to restore our emotions to a Heavenly state.

Matthew 6:10 - "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

And the Kingdom of Heaven is in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 14:17 - "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."

Notice that two of matters of the kingdom of God are emotional or feelings states, peace and joy, in the Holy Spirit.

John 14:26: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

Part of the explicit role of the Holy Spirit is to comfort people's emotions/feelings, who the Father sent after Jesus death and resurrection.

But controlling your emotions and/or feelings, especially on your own without disclosing them to God if that's your habit, is a bad idea.

Whether or not I sin is none of your business, and is not relevant to whether a person has developed high emotional intelligence. But if you want to control your emotions, have it your way. But it's incredibly unhealthy and dysfunctional.

Responding to your emotions through fear of sin through control, is sin.
