The rise of the splinternet and questions of sovereignty at this precise moment is not coincidental.

If you’re facing private Network States as a new form of sovereignty, then the antidote must be public Sovereign Network States. If the public continues to rely on nation states, they will surely be the losers in the coming era. nostr:naddr1qqgxzdpkxg6k2vehxqmxvefnvccx2q3qv23r3lvz3lps9f3zcg3p4cevnlmf4az8prt6wdj933f057wvxy7qxpqqqp65wzm2c6d

Hey Yuk Hui fans, how do you propose achieving ontological pluralism while tackling the question of technics at the same time?

Decentralization of power would have to be the prerequisite—a kind of unification via disunification, allowing many experiments to occur simultaneously.

It would also require accelerating human intuition alongside techno-acceleration. So how do you actually do that? I don’t have all the answers, but this is probably the right way to think about it:

Intent is the basis of free will, and intuition is the art of deciphering intent—whether someone else’s, your own, or Divine Intent. In an era where technology increasingly seeks to capture your intuition and render you simply a consuming commodity, the antidote must be “Intuitional Sovereignty”: your intention belongs to you alone. Perhaps virtual environments could sharpen intuitive abilities. We must be willing to use technology as a tool to achieve desired results without dependency.

It would certainly require a clear distinction between human and non-human, with rights for those who choose not to merge with machines at all or to lesser degrees, while setting criteria for an individual to be considered “non-human,” with restrictions rather than rights thereafter. This places responsibility squarely on the individual, as God intended. Restrictions on non-human entities would include clear communication methods to prevent subliminal influence, etc. Technological restriction on manipulating others or using abilities for nefarious purposes. Is that achievable, remains to be seen.

It would also mean creating technological infrastructure to protect intuitional footprints from capture in cyberspace. This leads back to the Network State and resolving digital ID and data sovereignty. No matter how we look at it, everything returns to sovereignty from centralization—monetarily, economically, technologically, intellectually, and most importantly, spiritually.

1000%!! Most important part. I wish people understood why this is critical, but they’re lost in the sauce

lol yeah it’s not in any particular order necessarily. Tbf lot of it would have to happen simultaneously .

THE INITIAL STEPS FOR THE US NETWORK STATE🇺🇸:

1. Break up the Fed, of course, but also OpenAI, Palantir, and Oracle. They are national security companies to some degree and should be under the primary Network. The goal of the primary network should be to uphold property rights, provide defense, and offer joint economic power to the 50 states (or nodes).

2. I would then let states decide whether they want to be majority White or “mixed” states. Each state could have leeway in non-white citizens if it chose to be majority White. Assist Whites who want to migrate from mixed states to White states and vice versa for minorities.

3. Adopt a Bitcoin standard with taxation on consumption and luxury goods alone. Joint economic decisions for foreign trade would be up to the executive. (I am not including the design for the federal structure intentionally, as that’s an entire topic in and of itself.) Funds from taxes collected would go to specific wallets for different purposes, allowing full transparency on where the money went from beginning to end. Anything related to state-level decisions would be decided by the states themselves. They would run a state-level network and serve as nodes in the larger Federal Network.

4. Defense would be entirely nationalized under the Network, including data management and any AI projects. There would need to be infrastructure for checks and balances connected to governance, but this is another very complex subject and very much TBD.

5. Economics would be very laissez-faire aside from defense, AI, some aspects of personal data, and national security. The goal would be to help American states compete in world markets, with decision-making mostly decentralized or within the State level nodes. So ie. California can negotiate with China, but if there’s enough majority within the entire Network to block it, then it would not be able.

6. Very important aspects also TBD are decentralized digital identity and self-management of private data, or trusted DAOs where people can reliably store data or Bitcoin. The goal would be that eventually the federal database of private information is decentralized, so any access to private information is on an as-needed basis.

7). Perhaps the most difficult step is how to handle AI and robotics. This is something that would be negotiated once governance of the Network is finalized. The goal is to promote human sovereignty through channeling AI. It’s a very difficult task, but all I know is it’s currently in the wrong hands.

There will be a period of time very soon when human data will become very precious to train these ever expanding AI models.

Only way to earn “money” might be via data harvesting games. I am sure high paying “illegal games” might be to the death.

The money earned from those activities would then be gambled away in prediction markets. Everyone trying to be the lucky winner.

It will become a vicious cycle of data collection and then utilization in prediction markets by the most connected or innovative.

This is the world these mfkers wanna create. Personally I think we could do better.

Prediction market bros are the worst!

There are really only two types of people in the world:

Those obsessed with trying to determine the intent of others, and those who worry mostly about deducing their own intent.

I don’t buy the theory current being pushed by some on the anti-Zionist side that the GCC has successfully bought the “proof of weapons network” (a.k.a. military/tech/finance industrial complex). According to this, hawkish interests in Israel are officially out of favor with the network.

Are these people stupid? The networks that gave us the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and ran American foreign policy to our detriment are not suddenly defeated.

Money still flows from Zionist billionaires; they’re still doing ass-kissing tours. Aside from paper deals, there’s zero indication that anything has changed.

Power will always be greater than money. Some people will have to learn this the hard way unfortunately.

Very interesting! Yeah they’re finally getting there, but we’ve already moved on 👀

Beautifully said

The Self is the hardest tool to use because you must live your entire existence through its lens, and for the vast majority of people who have ever existed or currently exist, it’s not a tool but their God.

For the brilliant to the retarded and for the sociopathic to the pious, too frequently Truth equals satisfaction of the self, often even in noble pursuits and many times among “men or women of God.”

Yet if you sincerely accept that Truth is Divine reality, due to the “flexible nature” of man, then it simply becomes a question of which Divine reality? Your morality must then derive from what you accept as Divine Truth, aka religion.

You can never view the self as a tool if you view it as “God.” Even if you accept yourself as a means to Divine ends, it’s frequently those chasing false idols who are often mentally deranged.

As a rational, stable individual, viewing yourself as a tool of the Divine feels odd. You don’t want to be associated with the loony bin. That’s understandable, but it still doesn’t change the fundamental reality that the “YOU” you are so proud of is just an ever-changing series of Divine decisions—therefore, you must view yourself as an instrument of the Divine, despite the urge not to.

I know this is kinda gay, but the key is to have a clear and clean heart with sincere love for others. Only then can you truly connect with the Divine in a meaningful way. That’s the only path to Truth.

Yes..words serve the purpose of communicating your intent and of course they matter, but the real story is always in the unsaid and the subtle.

You the human will always have one particular edge over machine analysis. It may not always lead to the correct conclusion, but it will often provide “data” not available to surveillance tech. It is your ability to feel aka what we’ve been discussing a lot, human intuition.

You can feel when an influencer is motivated by superficial desires.

You can feel when an account is only interested in clicks.

You can feel someone’s disposition in the way they write or respond.

You can feel the specific aspects of someone’s anxiety from the way they post in a way that a machine cannot.

You can feel when someone is strictly interested in just seeking attention or validation.

You can sometimes even tell the difference between people reacting negatively to the same tragedy. One is driven by scoring online points vs. another who may be genuinely concerned.

This is the only real advantage you possess in the coming world so it’s best to cultivate this and develop a strong intuitive sense of the digital landscape. Your analysis will only go so far.

He’s the only one with any political energy behind him and it’s very real

Apologies to Muslim, Christian, Eastern, or Western masses (lovingly known as biomass ❤️). Most of you are clueless about the challenges we face and will likely never understand them, but that's okay. You'll hopefully be dragged into a better world whether you get it or not, so don't stress yourselves too much and just tag along.

But it's not all bad. A segment of our beloved biomass is critical for achieving targeted political goals: the young and politically energized men. They are a powerful force that must be wielded by the right visionary to have any chance at success. Energized young men with a goal have been the conduit of every great change in previous eras, whether positive or negative.

In the information age, the mega-political conditions allow even a small group of politically energized actors to organize quickly and make an outsized impact. Note that the politically energized segment in the US last decade was female-led social justice. They failed because they attacked fictional problems.

Compare that to the 20th century, where mega-political conditions favored those with established international networks in a world of expanding international collaboration and competition. Our Israelite friends succeeded because they had worldwide networks for centuries.

Unlike then, today's conditions are ideal for smaller players or groups to organize quickly and compete with larger ones. We're witnessing this firsthand with the Groyper Army in a different way. They are outcompeting the giant money pot of pro-establishment media by simply sheer passion and dedication, interestingly very human traits.

Though the situation looks bleak now, I'm confident each nation will find the young men to precipitate change, but it won't be smooth sailing. It must begin in the United States for many reasons, mainly because conditions here are ideal to test this with Nick and the Groypers but also this is the epicenter of fiat finance.

I don't believe it's possible to "return" to anything. This new conservatism is going to be unique, but of course with similarities with any conservative culture. It's considered traditional for a reason.

Also Balaji claims to be a libertarian, but strangely supports Hindu nationalism while not mentioning one word of jewish influence in American institutions. This is because all his friends in SV are ardent zionists. He's obviously very smart no doubt, but I also think he picks and chooses what he talks about.

Well look I actually think we can place BTC adoption within this decade. There are many reasons for it, maybe we should discuss over voice.

So I started listening to this episode, but just based on the clip, there’s definitely truth to what he’s saying no doubt, but there are a few issues:

1). I don’t agree with some of his assumptions about why this all happened, he thinks America just made “mistakes”, I think they were sabotaged from within

2). There hasn’t been a true red America or free markets in the US in the past 45 years.

3). His assumptions about the near future don’t consider the transition from dollar to btc. Everyone makes it sound like “yeah it’ll just happen”. There’s a lot that can go wrong for long periods of time.

4). Sure no doubt China is a beast due to industrialization, but if there’s a bitcoin standard then the CCP doesn’t control money, and money is speech. So they will have to adjust to a new world.

5). AI is a major factor of course. My view is that controlling AI as an authoritarian govt will be difficult. There will be truth available which can hurt you in a variety of ways, sometimes unfairly.

I still need to go back and fully give it a listen, but this is what I was thinking so far.

Welcome to the jungle Ian nostr:note10gu7qwzsv9h7y03pt928q6s2k44egvwc8a050ljanteuv7tnmqps0fxgze

It must be done both at the local and macro level. That’s the only way this will work. Because imagine you’re building a btc local economy and then get wiped out by a surveillance network state via various mechanisms up to threat of violence. So I don’t think we can ignore the larger systems forming.

A message for Bitcoiners: as fun as HFSP is, it’s kind of meaningless if our society breaks down and there is chaos and strife for decades. Yeah you’ll personally be well off, but then again maybe not if there’s instability and security concerns.

If you own a significant amount of Bitcoin, you should not only be evangelizing, you should actively be thinking about how this Bitcoin backed world should be structured on a large scale. You’ll be stakeholders in that world and so you may as well shape it.

What’s the point of being rich but then living in systems designed by the worst among us. Yes there will be enclaves of peace and if you’re rich enough you can just run to those, but again is it worth the cost of suffering for millions or billions.

I’ve been in the space for so long, but I have yet to see a bitcoiner publicly discuss how this world should be shaped. Everything I’ve read or heard has been broad generalizations about the long term potential. In the meantime though, we are getting closer and closer to the end of fiat.

I wish we could direct the TikTok exodus to Nostr, someone should tell them!

1). Sure you’re correct about that, but early on they were wealthy individuals or small groups who were mining. The mining pools were certainly forming but I believe 2017 onwards was the big consolidation.

2). Yup I remember the 2018 era when there was institutional interest, but it wasn’t comparable to 2021. I don’t know if you recall, but many mining operations died after that bull market. Those miners sold coins on open market or perhaps in bulk via private offerings. Even if that’s the case, I would think it would be to wealthy individuals or smaller institutions (at the time) rather than larger institutional interests.

So to me the number makes a lot of sense for a few reasons:

1). 90%+ coins have already been mined. In previous cycles, many mining operations were smaller and more decentralized. Most ended up having to sell btc during bear markets, so the distribution shouldn’t favor miners too drastically, besides top 1%.

2). Bitcoin until at least the 2021 cycle was a non- institutional game for the most part, so it would make sense for individuals to have more. Unless an institution started in 2017 or earlier, it would be difficult for them to accumulate too much unless they employed a Michael Saylor type strategy, which is rare.

That’s a great question. It was done by River, I couldn’t find the exact methodology, but they were able to link Satoshi to 22 different addresses, so I’m assuming they are able to analyze transactions to get a sense of whether it’s a business or individual. Perhaps someone technically more knowledgeable can answer how that’s done. I’m more concerned with the macro implications.

Why Network States are inevitable if we assume hyperbitcoinization:

1). Nation States are all pretty much bankrupt already.

2). Btc accumulation takes a long time for nation state level actors without the price running away.

3). In a Bitcoin backed world, printing money is no longer an option, therefore current Nation States will get outcompeted due to their wasteful spending. Either they will adopt and become Networks or die.

4). As you can see below, individuals own most of the supply, so we will instantly see the rise of the sovereign individual.
