Happy new year everyone!

I've now been on a carnivore diet for more than a year! No counting, tracking, excess hunger or other unsustainable habits. Down by about 5 inches off my waist and 60 lbs in about six months, and then about 5-10 lbs up of muscle mass from working out! I feel great and very active.

I started in December of 2023, I had gradually moved towards eating more beef and meat throughout the previous year. I started with a 90 day trial of beef, butter, bacon and eggs (and other meats) and then just kept it going after three months. I still do spices and coffee. I've tried reintroducing a few foods since then, however didn't like how I felt after or didn't see the point.

After introducing a workout at the gym three times per week, I noticed my hunger increase. I've since needed to increase the fat to protein ratio of the food I eat, more than 1:1, by weight, is usually about right.

Here is to the improvements of 2025. Let's go!

Haha this note belongs on X haha 🤣

This is a very rough approximation since payments go straight to our dev's wallets in a way that I cannot really measure.

This direct funding model incentivizes our developers to keep shipping and demonstrates the power of decentralized giving without creating second-class users of the app.

1. Spread an insane amount of liberty memes.

2. Read and get other people to read works by Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, Saifedean, Hoppe, Locke, Menger, etc. and interpret them from an Indian point of view.

3. Translations of educational content into Indian languages.

These are all 'pre-political' activities that aim only to give people a different perspective to help them deal with internal contradictions and lies built up by years of programming and propaganda.

Happy NY you crazy fkrs

Looking for a dev in 2025 who can work with Lightning, Nostr, and JS. Mostly just integration with existing tools, not modifying or building a custom client or anything.

If interested, DM me.

I believe individuals living in the country have always had a shot and have managed to preserve their sovereignty with gold and now recently, Bitcoin.

The socialist and fiat leviathan has a very strong stranglehold on the subcontinent, its government, culture, politics and economy. It's pervasive, subtle and cannot be noticed even by the keenest observer sometimes.

Be that as it may, the march towards liberty has to start within the individual. One cannot force someone to be free or rich.

And it has to be bottom up.

It will likely take decades, but it has to happen.

Hypothetically, if one were to ask me what it is that needs to happen to make India a land of truly free people within the political and legal system that exists at the moment, I would share the following incomplete, work-in-progress list with them;

1. Indian constitution

•Repeal the first amendment before anything else

•Delete part 4

•Delete part 17

•Delete Article 39(b) and 39(c)

•Remove the words 'socialist' and 'secular' from the preamble

•Make right to property a fundamental right again

•Reinterpret right to life (article 21) and remove positive law elements like 'right to reputation' that lead to incorrigible laws like defamation

•Make changes to the 7th, 11th and 12th schedules to have as little as possible in the union and state lists and as much as possible in the local govt lists.

•Presidents to get directly elected and to be made the head of the executive and the PM being relegated to the right role of being the head of the legislature alone.

2. Agencies and ministries

•Abolish the RBI, ED, FIU, IT Dept

•Abolish the HR&CE departments

•Privatise and disinvest PSU's and state-owned land

•Where there is an insane amount of political pressure, explore public-private partnerships as initial steps before fully introducing market pressures

•Privatise securities exchanges

•Abolish APMC's and mandis

•Number of ministries cannot be more than 10 on all federal levels

•Affirmative action and reservations will have to be removed completely

3. Polices and Acts

•Repeal FEMA and legal tender laws

•Repeal the Essential commodities act

•Allow anyone in the country to establish an exchange platform for equities, derivatives and bonds

•Establish laws that enable free banking and ensure that collateralised deposits are possible

•Liberalise agriculture and abolish the mandis and price control

•Remove land ceiling

•Repeal the land acquisition act

•Stop putting out finance acts and making the annual budget a form of pseudo-planning of the socialist kind

•Abolish 90% of taxes: goods and services, property, excise, service, capital gains, customs, cess, surcharge, value added, gift, entertainment, professional and land revenue

•Relax gun licensing rules

•Of course, any special privileges granted to any religious or communal group will have to go because everyone has to be treated equally by the rule of law.

There are likely so many more things that I have missed, so I'll keep adding them in the replies section later on if and when I find them.

Hey babe, the new yard sign just dropped.

Whatever happened to Slamball?

There is no worse enemy than being afraid of your own shadow!
