I really enjoy the vibe here, and I don't feel like I'm being manipulated by a corporate algorithm.
But the main thing is that I want to be contributing to a system that I believe in. Decentralized networking FTW š
It's definitely weird to realize that the sitting president just dropped out of the upcoming election in a way that precludes verification.
I have a feeling that his connections to Thiel will in fact lead to an alarming strengthening of corporate/State collusion. But I'm not clear on why Trump gets the F word and Dem politicians don't š¤·āāļø

When I found out about fasting, I reached out to two people I knew who had gotten terminal diagnoses - figured it couldn't hurt. One said "my doctors warned me about people like you selling snake oil" (???) and the other one dove in deep to the research, put herself on a strict fasting protocol and was in remission within a few weeks.
Yeah, it is if you eat a lot of carbs!
Brains run particularly well on ketones, but the liver will make glucose as needed if you don't eat carbs
I know that there are serious questions about childhood vaccines, but my guess is that we're not looking at one specific cause. It's likely a dramatic drop in overall health (fiat food, poor sleep, less community, lack of natural light and activity) AND far more challenges (medications, toxins in our environment, etc).
You might have an easier time in some US states than in many other countries
nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 you're on one of my favorite permaculture podcasts!
So cool to hear two of my favorite folks having a great conversation.
For #permie and #homestead folks who don't know him: Takota Coen is an excellent resource. He's got some beautiful systems going on his farm in Canada (like growing duckweed on his pond, which he soaks in milk/whey from his cow along with grains that he grows, all of which he feeds to his pigs before he sends them out to forage cattails in the wetlands that he's rehabilitating. It's quite something. That particular YT video linked below, and he's got plenty more).
And his latest podcast is interviewing Ben Perrin š¤© I'm partway through, and Ben is doing a great job of introducing bitcoin to Takota's audience (mostly not bitcoiners, would be my guess, and it's a group that will probably be pretty receptive).
I listen on Fountain but could only get an apple podcast link:

short note to test. I've been trying with another note for 10 minutes š£
Explaining things that are rational but that are outside of the Overton Window, to people who are within the Overton Window (basically the ānormiesā in modern parlance), is a really important skill for Nostr-adjacent and Bitcoin-adjacent educators, as well as alternate nutrition, health, macro, politics, etc.
Itās kind of an exercise in cultural and language translation, bridging two worlds. Understanding two mindsets and carrying one over to the other.

For me a decade and a half ago, the fact that some people were writing about alternate nutrition in rational, evidenced ways, receptive to normies, was super helpful in breaking out of the retarded 6-11 servings of grain food pyramid paradigm.
I find this a huge challenge. Spend enough time outside the overton window and it can be hard to know how to navigate a conversation reasonably.
The overlap in values is still probably strong, though. If I'm talking with a normie about socio-political stuff, we generally share the same ideas regarding - say - humanitarian goals, so I try to start there.
Also I try really hard not to use the words "federal reserve" "cantillion effect," or "money printing" within the first few minutes.
Nice! maybe it will lure you out of the city š
You get to see this every day plus grow lots of those amazing foods that you love.
