Education devoid of the lost tools such as grammar, logic, and rhetoric is mere information not wisdom; true learning demands mastering how to think not just what to know.

This is the way brother!

Optimism breeds more optimism. As Viktor Frankl posited, hope is meaningful action in the face of uncertainty, each act giving rise to more hope.

So I pose the question…Are you bullish enough?

Optimism breads more optimism

Haha. I think I can convert it for ya. I can do it tomorrow.

But I can send it to you…

You can’t. I created it.

Thank you!

Thanks Doc!

I took the liberty of filing divorce papers on behalf of Humanity vs. Big Tech. Feel free to serve these to anyone in your circle who’s still paying emotional alimony to their digital captors.

Serious

The gym is a laboratory for life. Every workout is a microcosm of every challenge you’ll face. The discipline to show up when you don’t feel like it, the grit to push through discomfort, these aren’t just fitness skills, they’re life skills.

In a world of participation trophies, physical training remains brutally honest feedback about who you really are versus who you think you are.

Stop outsourcing your mental strength to comfort. Your potential is calling from the other side of exhaustion.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thanks brisket! 🫂⚡️🫡

So I called my dentist today to cancel my appointment. Same day, I know, I know, I’m a monster.

Receptionist: “I’m sorry, but we require at least two weeks notice for cancellations or we have to charge you the full fee.”

Me: “Oh… well in that case, I’d like to reschedule instead.”

Receptionist: “Of course! When would you like to come in?”

Me: “How about… two weeks from today?”

Receptionist: “Perfect! You’re all set for two weeks from today”

Me: “Great! Now I’d like to cancel that appointment.”

{Very Long Pause}

Receptionist: “…Sir, you literally just made it.”

Me: “Yes, but now I’m giving you two weeks notice.”

And THAT, my friends, is how you beat the system with the power of scheduling. Pretty sure I just became the first person to achieve dental appointment money laundering.

It’s honest work. When the shenanigans stop flowing, society crumbles. 🤪

Someone’s got to do it

“Reformed church” is the imperative.

What if we just joule

The tragedy of modern discourse isn’t that we’ve become too critical. It’s that we’ve become critically promiscuous, spending our intellectual salt on every minor transgression while remaining curiously docile toward the truly consequential.

Your cognitive bandwidth is finite and precious. Be strategically, intentionally, devastatingly salty about things that actually move the needle of human flourishing, not the performative controversies designed to exhaust your capacity for genuine political thought.

The cypherpunk vision is essentially optimistic, not because it ignores the reality of human corruption, but because it engineers around it. Bitcoin does not rely on good people making good decisions; it makes good decisions inevitable through cryptographic constraints.

Decentralized networks do not depend on benevolent administrators; they remove the very category of administration itself.

While everyone else is fighting over the scraps of centralized attention, we’re building the infrastructure of human connection itself.

Every authentic interaction, every moment of genuine value creation, every zap and meaningful reply , we’re not just posting.

We’re architecting the future of human communication.

I have one queue’d up. Debating whether to post it.

Gets it ☝🏼. Bitcoin at 100k while still using Coinbase and paying capital gains taxes isn’t winning, it’s just playing their game with different tokens. The real war is building systems so robust that their regulations become irrelevant. Energy independence + Bitcoin circular economy = checkmate.

The only thing dropping faster than the price is my ability to resist a good sale 📉

This guy clearly never read past his shiny bookmark in his Bible. Saying Christians aren’t sinners anymore isn’t just bad theology, it’s straight-up heresy.

Paul literally calls himself the chief of sinners after becoming an apostle. John says if you claim to be without sin, you’re a liar and the truth isn’t in you (1 John 1:8). Romans 7 is Paul, already a Christian, groaning over his battle with sin.

The Reformers had a phrase for this: simul justus et peccator, at the same time righteous and sinner. We’re clothed in Christ’s righteousness, adopted as sons and daughters, yes. But until we’re glorified, we still sin every day and depend on grace every hour.

So no, you’re not just ‘the will of God, His son or daughter.’ You’re also a sinner who Christ bled for. Deny that, and you’re preaching a different gospel. And the New Testament has a word for that: anathema.

Gm and Happy Sunday!

May the zaps chase the notes like thunder after lightning…

Good morning, and Happy Saturday Nostriches. What are we doing today?

For sure. I don’t think they necessarily had any ill intent. I just don’t think they were thinking past their noses. They worked with what was in front of them.

The economy can’t fully wake up until boomers finally move aside. Nature has a way of making room when generations refuse to do it themselves. It’s been a hell of a ride, but it’s time for the next ones to drive.

Have a blessed day!

Today is your bday correct?

Nostr isn’t fragile. People can post text, vlog, or whatever else they decide. That’s the beauty of it.

Freedom to choose…that’s Nostr.

Are you saying Nostr is essentially a refuge from the short attention span world of TikTok, Instagram Reels, etc. Basically, that adding video will bring those same fleeting habits into Nostr?

GM Nostriches. ☕️⚡️

Texts can be fragmented. A vlog can be a flood. In a few minutes you can say what would take a dozen notes.

Do you think vlogs will reshape Nostr? And are they enjoyable?

Nostr is different.

When you’re surrounded by people who share your values and vision, you sharpen each other. That’s what I’ve found on Nostr.

The conversations are richer, thoughtful, forward looking, and centered on building instead of mindless consumption.

This is what the future looks like when free people pick up their tools and refuse to be slaves.

GN Nostr. Do we Vlog again tomorrow?

Gm QnA ☕️

What’s up Kent! Welcome aboard! I think you’ll enjoy yourself here…

Keep resolution 1080p max (4K is huge and unnecessary for phones).

Likewise…a lot going on!! 😂

Vlogs be exhilarating!!

Tag, you’re it. I did it.

Node? Haha

Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams, but it sure covers up an inside job

It’s time to party.

Alright. Fine.

Love me some Calvin

Gm. It’s a beautiful day.
