Violinist and teacher, building a homestead on raw land in between lessons and concerts. Fascinated by how we can develop resilience in our lives, in our families, in our communities. I'm excited about freedom tech and circular economies, and am deeply grateful for the devs and advocates who are helping build tools for a better future.

Wow - I'm still a beginner, but this is hilarious.

Did multiple people vet his before it went live? Is this how they all think?

I don't know... given the air they breathe, it might be really hard for them to truly grasp.

They understand some of the implications, for sure, or there would be no "anti-crypto army" and FinCen regulations, but I don't think they can conceive of true financial decentralization.

#31days

Mix of things! lots of bodyweight and resistance band work, some kettlebell squats, 5 minutes walking uphill with a weighted belt, about 20 minutes of mobility work. Ended up being around 61 minutes.

Hope you all had a great first day!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, ODELL!

Thank you for talking so much about Nostr on Citdel Dispatch. That's why I'm here. Feeling very grateful πŸ™

Lots of love to your lady and little one as well. There's nothing better πŸ’•

Happy New Year, Nostr friends!!

Very grateful for all of you πŸ’•

Ha! yes

Once when she was in heat he found his way to our camp kitchen outside the tent at 3am. "Can I hang out with you? Need to get away from that crazy cow!"

We have a heifer and a young bull and are waiting for him to get his act together and get her pregnant.

Maybe this will be the month? 🀞

So far, every time she's been in heat the poor guy panics - runs away from her, sometimes right out of the paddock. It's a pain in the ass but also kind of hilarious.

Replying to bloodymary

I personally think that the model you are talking about is inherently coercive and cannot tollerate what I am talking about.

Also, I know the history you are talking about, but it’s funny that you pretend it to be communism where instead it was socialism in one country. If this is not clear I think you should read deeper.

I personally think that the industrial framework cannot exactly be capable of hosting such an environment, simply put, if we are 10 people and 9 work for the common goal, and one decides to misbehave, well, it is going to be easy for him to grab value from the other participants, and, if this one is a true statement, it cannot lead to the assumption : there is nothin one can do, cause there will always be malicious actors, cause if Satoshi would have think the same, he probably wouldn’t have find the solution to the Byzantine General problem.

So, admitting that this can work out, I think people shall be given the tools to own the facility and the tools they work in. There shall not be a capitalistic socialist government facilitating an oligarch to own and possess the industry.

If you people believe that shit like Ford is the accomplishment of Ford alone, well you may be wrong and you may have been kept captives in a mentality which NEEDS a CEO, mostly cause in that way all the benefits of being entitled to the creation of the idea goes to one single person, which becomes warshipped (see Steve Jobs). While in reality they are just a bunch of assertive yes man, who gave people the feeling that there is an actual choice, while in fact there is no real alternative! So, I think people who work in a factory shall own that factory. It has happened in Italy with Olivetti, and you know, the capital act to protect itself from external bodies, and the project got rejected.

In my vision things shall be realised slightly differently: I think we need a different framework than industrial production. The goal shall be to enable production on the leafs of the graph, by the mean of 3d printing for example.

So, with that said, I am aware that communism cannot be easily achieved or even tried out in a consuming society, but I am also aware that what you guys talk about it’s Stalin socialism in one country and it is pretty different from the vision of Marx and Engels.

It's hard to parse through this because I'm not sure who "you guys" are or what you think I (we?) believe. What model am I referring to that is coercive?

I have no doubt that Stalinism (and whatever you want to call the totalitarian systems in East Germany, Poland, Romania, Cuba, etc) are quite different from ideal communism and that according to Marx and Engles they wouldn't qualify as communism at all. The part that I always get stuck on is that for there to be a particular system, you need enforcement. For enforcement, you need enforcers, which means moral hazard is built into the system. The more enforcement, the greater the moral hazard.

For example, you say people "shall be given," which sounds nice but when you take it out of the passive voice the question is: who gives them the tools?

But I'm going to take the heart of your answer as the one about a different framework than industrial production. If you feel like writing more, can you explain that? I don't know enough about 3D printing to understand the leaves/graph sentence.

So the workers collectively own the means of production?

I assume you're well aware of the history of communism - how that lovely-sounding theory has played out in many places - but I also assume that you're posting in good faith, and I'm curious about how logistics would work in your vision.

Let's say you have a means of production - a farm, a factory - and 40 workers. Who/what enforces the even distribution of ownership?

I distinctly remember you saying - right after his ridiculous testimony - that he was just trying to pump his bags.
