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.

I was having an online discussion with someone who said he hated government money and so had decided to only use cash. I agreed that out of all the forms of gov money, cash was probably best but had he looked into bitcoin? He said that a rich friend had tried to get him into it years ago but he wasn't interested because that kind of thing is only for wealthy people.

🤦‍♀️

Yes, exactly.

I once got into an argument online with a vegan woman who said she hated hearing the argument that rabbits and other small mammals are massacred to harvest her grains. She thought it was so much better that she at least wasn't *intentionally* killing them unlike horrible meat-eaters that have animal corpses on their plates.

thank you! I have a VPN, but since there doesn't seem to be a way to connect to YT without an account I figured it didn't make much of a difference.

I guess I could make an account with a more private email address - hadn't thought of that.

Will look into NewPipe - haven't hear of that.

Is it possible to access YT videos privately? I plan to look more into Nostr alternatives but there are some things that are so useful on YT.

When I try on Tor and without a YT account the search function doesn't work, which basically makes it useless.

Yes. I hear a lot of "civilians don't need military-grade weapons that can kill so many people at once."

So even though you know about Stalin, Hitler, etc you're ok with psychopaths in govt having access to those weapons?

Personally I don't like those weapons. But as long as they're in the world, I don't want them exclusively in the hands of centralized gov't and those drawn to positions of power.

Yes, and when we outsource it we can distance ourselves from every negative aspect of protection.

I think that this was a big part of the defund the police/ACAB movement. If one rejects the shadow side of human life that involves violence it's possible to feel morally superior to the police without ever recognizing that you've made their role in society necessary because you've ceded your responsibility.

But that one with Mallers is a terrific episode! Well worth a listen

Matt just mentioned it now on RHR (that Strike is looking into it).
