Should the worst of us be allowed electricity?

Regarding the motivation of the note you replied to?

It’s that if we don’t figure out how to talk to each other then we’re gonna kill each other (literally, eventually) and I don’t want my kids to have to live in a dysfunctional, dystopian, hellscape driven by zero-sum, “us versus them,” dynamics. nostr:note1md69esq6esrajmgrnhe6eheus56x3leuuvvrg6eteguurtlxfz2sf9wq6y

Working on solution guides for my calc students this morning. #teaching #education #math

If you want people to listen to you, start by listening to them. No agenda. No traps. Get curious about what drives them – why they think the way they do.

You will almost certainly learn something from them and they'll be more likely to listen to your perspective.

Even if you don't persuade them, you will maintain the relationship so that you can work together in the future. #moralcourage #grownostr

Man, I had one of those for a year. It was okay except when the grass got above a certain length it was too tall to cut (could’ve had a crappy brand of mower 🤷‍♂️).

We also have a bunch of pine cones drop in our lawn and hitting one would lock the mower up instantly. Probably looked hilarious when the handle went abruptly into stomach. 😂

Short bike ride this morning. #grownostr #cycling

Epictetus, writing about freedom technology and #nostr

“The person is free who lives as they wish, neither compelled, nor hindered, nor limited—whose choices aren’t hampered, whose desires succeed, and who don’t fall into what repels them. Who wishes to live in deception—tripped up, mistaken, undisciplined, complaining, in a rut? No one. These are base people who don’t live as they wish; and so, no base person is free.” —Epictetus

I don't trust anyone who profits off of war, including the culture war.

We must be getting trolled. nostr:note1awa95e2lt0wau0y0py74mnlgmncd7wwwa4j47m6lp9trg5t7804smrk3yy

Well put, as usual.

Eric Weinstein put it this way. If you see the wave coming, are you getting your surfboard ready and just trying to figure out which way the wave is going to break?

Elon and Altman are trying to surf the tidal wave on its way to destruction. nostr:note1upuw6mngk5jjv47ajdnjnlpdgxvqq56kdthvamd3udfzx9sl5tks80ux3t
