“The classified ads (and stock-market quotations) are the bedrock of the press. Should an alternative source of easy access to such diverse dally information be found, the press will fold.” - Marshall McLuhan, writing in 1964 (!!)
“Penny”?

The word "god" is a title. It is a role to be filled, and a non-negotiable role at that. There is a god in every system, whether that system is a sports team, a company, a nation, or a universe.
The only real question is who or what will occupy that role.
Whose will is sought? Who is above critique? To whom are costly sacrifices rendered? To whom do knees bow, and whose name do tongues praise? Who has their heart? Where do they run when they are afraid? Who do they love and trust? What is the source of their joy?
Answer those questions, and you will find the god of a system, whether they’re worthy of it or not.
There are thousands of otherwise intelligent people who are so desperate to dismiss #Bitcoin that they reflexively trust anyone who offers an objection bearing the slightest modicum of credulity.
I’ve watched it for 5 years & it never gets any less intellectually disappointing.
“Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.” - Wendell Berry
#NOSTRBOUNTY
What is the most meaningful thing someone has ever said to you and who said it?
Zap (any amount), ♻️, and reply to enter. I will give out a 100k sat bounty plus the full amount zapped to this note to one of the replies (more detail the better).
Cutoff is Friday at midnight PDT.
The farther (temporally) removed you are from scarce currency, the lighter your map grows.
The medium is the message.
No modern Christian believes usury to be as grave a sin as Luther (and the Scriptures) assert here.
There are no coincidences.

AOTD is on the long list.
Thanks for sharing!
Just recorded part one of a three or four part series for the nostr:npub1mlcas7pe55hrnlaxd7trz0u3kzrnf49vekwwe3ca0r7za2n3jcaqhz8jpa with nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn based on Marshall McLuhan’s book ‘Understanding Media,” and it’s a doozy.
We also got confirmation yesterday that McLuhan’s grandson, Andrew (who runs the McLuhan Institute) is going to be joining us on the third episode.
Episode one goes live Tuesday.
