In my lifetime, I’ve had over a hundred teachers. Out of those hundred, only a few were great. Some were well-meaning, but most were trapped in a system that rewards memorization, conformity, and yesterday’s thinking. Only one taught me skills that actually prepared me for the future.
I remember a math teacher in 2005 telling us to memorize formulas because “you won’t always have a calculator in your pocket.” Three years later, we all started carrying supercomputers in our pockets. That moment sums up my entire education. Outdated. Reactive. A wasted opportunity.
We were taught how to memorize, not how to think. No questioning. No critical thought. No sense of how any of it would apply to our future. Take notes, memorize, take the test. Next. Then it was gone. Zero connection to the material. Zero reason to care.
The problem isn’t that teachers don’t care. Most are thrown into impossible circumstances. One person is asked to teach twenty or thirty unique minds, each with different strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. It can be done, but it’s rare. The truth is our education model was designed for an industrial age that no longer exists.
The Cost of Stagnation
The results speak for themselves. Studies show that more than half of American adults read below a sixth grade level. That means millions of people struggle to engage with complex information, weigh nuance, or think critically about the world around them. If education is supposed to prepare us for life, we have to ask: life when? The world of the past, or the one we’re walking into?
Education should prepare us for the future. Yet academia often prepares students perfectly for yesterday. When I earned my Personal Trainer certification earlier this year (2025), I saw how outdated the material was. Nutrition guidelines, exercise science, even how to measure blood pressure were all a decade behind the curve. The same thing happened in college, where we were trained on outdated tape cameras and editing methods that had already been replaced by new technology. My first job out of school didn’t even exist when I chose my major. How can students plan their futures when the system can’t even see six months ahead? What students really need are timeless skills: critical thinking, adaptability, creativity, and problem-solving. Skills that prepare them for any future, not just the past.
That’s why AI matters. Personalized, adaptive, and infinitely scalable, it can do what a single teacher in a crowded classroom never could. The truth is most traditional teaching jobs may not exist in the future. AI will be the one curating lessons, adapting to each student, and tracking progress in real time. The role of the human teacher will shift to what machines can’t replicate: guiding, mentoring, and inspiring. And learning doesn’t have to end at graduation. Real education should encompass a lifetime.
One model is ending, but a better one is waiting to be built.

Bitcoin Correlation Cheat Sheet 🧠⚡
Bitcoin isn’t correlated with inflation, it’s correlated with desperation.
The formula:
M2 📈 + Real Yields 📉 + Dollar 💵📉 = ₿ 🌙
M2 📉 + Real Yields 📈 + Dollar 💵📈 = ₿ ⚰️
Stop reading laser-eye X threads. Start watching real yields and M2.
You’re welcome.
The fiat mindset avoids short term discomfort while accepting lifelong monetary debasement. Bitcoin maximalists choose the hard of learning sound money, stacking sats, and enduring volatility because the alternative is watching purchasing power evaporate in “safe” dollars.
gm. If you see through the lies, expect to be treated like the lie. That’s the price of not living blind.
https://blossom.primal.net/5bc82b9bb4ff0a2a2c756b71f96f95392d1481e04422ca9ba5cdf7ebf873e0ba.mp4
If gold is headed to $5,000, per Goldman’s scenario, it signals panic as faith in central banks collapses and political gamesmanship infects monetary policy.
Austrian economics reads this as the blow off phase of fiat: the last gasp before regime change. In plain terms, if gold rockets on Fed decay, Bitcoin isn’t just the alternative, it’s the destination for capital fleeing systemic failure.
As gold hits escape velocity, Bitcoin becomes the smart money’s home, beyond politics, beyond revised stats, beyond manipulation.
Sure, AI will solve problems faster but when we remove humans entirely from the feedback loop, we lose the last mechanism that could force companies to actually care about customer experience rather than just appearing to. Perfect efficiency without human accountability is just sophisticated indifference at scale.
Customer service collapsed because we commoditized human attention into throughput metrics and efficiency algorithms. We chose the brutal efficiency of not caring over the economic “waste” of actually helping people, then wonder why every interaction feels like negotiating with a chatbot that learned human speech but not human values.
You have any skills?
AI as a manipulation tool? Absolutely. But so was the printing press - the Catholic Church banned it, fearing it would spread “dangerous” ideas. Radio had governments terrified of mass propaganda. The internet was going to destroy society. Each time, we didn’t ban the technology, we learned to navigate it. We developed media literacy, fact-checking, regulatory frameworks.
AI is just the latest tool that amplifies human intent. The real manipulation happens when we stop learning, stop questioning, stop thinking critically. Governments and corporations profit most from passive, unthinking populations. The antidote isn’t rejecting AI, it’s becoming smarter than those who would use it against us.
You’ve got it backwards. This isn’t about finding fights, it’s about raising men who won’t run when fights find them.

Every 615 sat Zap is a quiet lesson: how small actions ripple in collective perception. It nudged me to consider: Am I content with incremental gestures, or do I/We recalibrate our sense of engagement, attention, and value? nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs is teaching without saying a word.
Of course. We are wired for real human connection. God and then family, are the roots from which all meaning, all action, and all growth flow. Social media may offer only a simulation, yet here you are on Nostr, proving that even the wisest among us sometimes need Minecraft to scratch the itch for connection.
WhatsApp and VoIP’s promised to liberate voices from telecom monopolies, but simply moved surveillance from copper wires to server logs. Your encrypted words may be secure, but your digital presence, location, timing, associations, remains perfectly visible to legal discovery
In the coming decade, protest will be digital before it’s physical. Ephemeral chats will serve as rally points where maps, plans, and logistics can be shared, then erased before the state can archive them.
For now, spam that gibberish!
i engage by building. had a few POC tasks completed on the demo client of https://catallax.network but i'm hoping people actually use it for real stuff.

Robust reputation systems will come, but only after someone like you gives them a live sandbox worth trusting. Innovation is always “lonely at first, obvious later.” Keep stacking bricks, brother.

Nostr sometimes feels like that awkward party where everyone’s standing in corners checking their phones instead of talking. We’ve built this incredible censorship-resistant protocol, escaped the algorithm plantation, and then… crickets.
Here’s the psychological trap: we assume someone ELSE will engage, so we lurk instead of participate. Classic bystander effect meets network effects. Meanwhile, we’re all secretly refreshing our notifications hoping for that sweet dopamine hit of human connection.
The brutal truth? Nostr’s value isn’t in the protocol, it’s in US using it. Every like, zap, and repost creates positive reinforcement loops that keep people posting quality content instead of doomscrolling back to the bird app. We’re literally Pavlov’s dogs, but we can choose to ring each other’s bells.
Engagement breeds more engagement, and network effects are how we build the future.
P.S. - If you didn’t engage with this post, you just proved my point. 😏

Literally just posted along these lines!!
There’s something profound about extended exposure to academic environments. They simultaneously indoctrinate and inadvertently teach you the tools of intellectual rebellion. The very critical thinking skills they cultivate eventually turn inward, questioning not just external ideas but the epistemic foundations of the institutions themselves.
What begins as dutiful absorption of established knowledge transforms into a more unsettling realization: perhaps the most important education happens when you start deconstructing everything you’ve been taught to believe.
Nostr vlogging isn’t for everyone, but dismissing humanity’s first truly sovereign biographical archive because you prefer text is like critiquing the printing press because you’re comfortable with manuscripts.
Raising sons means teaching them two things: dragons are real, and so is the blade that kills them
