==the charity of the perfect on earth==

No longer toddlers

Taking care not to fall

With supernatural ease

They walk upright

The man who was Thursday poses a question regarding Sunday's Reading 1 Acts 9:26-31

“When Saul arrived in Jerusalem he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.”

If you were a Christian, you would do what they did next—send a trusted man to investigate. What evidence would this man expect to see?

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Ability to order the feed by people I follow rather than chronological, as I can on RSS readers like feedbro, so I can prioritize high value posters over frequent writers.

For example, suppose I follow Matthew, Mark Luke, John and Bob. And this is ordered most to least valuable to me (for value is subjective).

Say it's been a week since I've been on and while Bob posts daily, Matthew's posts once. But I prize what Matthew says. So I'd expect to see Matthew's new note first, and last, Bob.

But as Primal stands today, I'd see chatty Bob first, and may miss high value but infrequent poster Matt, in the noise.

Classic thinkers distinguish between license, the freedom to do as one pleases, and liberty, the freedom to do as one ought. And for most of us, we ought not spent 5 1/2 hours per day on social media.

Cassandra Shuck and her team at align social are addressing this through the lens of mental health and freedom from addiction to advertising.

I’m doing a little pro bono coding work for Cassandra. Perhaps we will pivot to nostr.

Meanwhile, here’s an interview with Cassandra on https://fountain.fm/episode/b5XonKcFXrZzBOYR9boq

What percentage of people will self custody bitcoin in 15 years do you think? 

I think all. Here’s why.

The family is the cell of society. So if one person in the family — call him bitcoin grandad — gives a day’s wage of bitcoin to the children, godchildren, nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law, and grand-babies on birthdays or other life events by a dozen words on a metal plate, they are self-custody, even if passively. Even the skeptics don’t throw the words away.

This is happening in now, or can be, in your family, if but one person steps up.

Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.

Not understanding the water situation — there are hot water heating systems. They are closed systems. Typically the water is heated by a conventional natural gas furnace. Plug your miner into the hot water heating system. Oh wait, your house probably doesn’t have that and it is not the kind of thing that’s an add-on. But a house that /did/ have hot water heating like my parents’, is Bitcon ready.🤔
