An average temperature of 27 degrees Celsius scorches the earth, apparently. Who’d have known?

It was all going so well until there was a reason to spend…

Space Spook 🤣

“Power projection game” makes me think of Peterson’s lobsters. Any living thing will naturally size itself up against any other living thing it comes across if there are any threats or opportunities involved.

But is the existence of a power hierarchy an impediment to freedom of those not at the top?

Nostriches are fucking psychopaths, I tell you. Speaking openly about whatever they want… The nerve.

So those that develop technology and acquire power in doing so are likely always going to be tempted to subjugate other less-powerful free people?

Is this an unfortunate reality in general when it comes to freedom, or are there forces at play in the modern world suppressing it?

I can relate. It’s painfully frustrating to see wealth frittered away on trivial things when the spenders just don’t comprehend that it will be far harder to earn that same wealth back in the future than it was before.

I don’t think the average person has any clue that fiat money is imploding and inflation is likely to be rampant for years to come.

Every single person on earth would need to pay $100 this year just in order to cover the interest expense.

Just in order to service the #debt of past spending, all of which was paid for by saying “that bill is tomorrow’s problem, just pretend we paid you now”.

Disintermediating companies like Visa, Mastercard, and Western Union is a boon to humanity.

Lightning Network is here and a valid option for many transactions that currently take place through these financial institutions.

Nostr use is an excellent way of helping normal people comprehend just how easy, fast, cheap, and reliable these new financial rails are.

Excited to watch this unfold, and will promote the cause at every opportunity. 🫡

People are lazy and want to believe that they are right.

It takes humility and intellectual honesty to concede that we know a lot less than we’d like to admit.

Something particularly alarming to me is that the vast majority of them seem to not be aware that they are simply tools of the establishment now. They think of themselves as respectable and helpful…

I read a book a long while ago called “Bad Pharma” by Ben Goldacre which has permanently put me off medicine.

There is seemingly complete capture of the industry by Big Pharma.

My experience is that doctors are trained to push medications instead of treat ailments.

Stamets is like the Hal Finney of mycology. Impossibly lovable and influential character 🧡🍄

I’ve had way too much fun making shitty memes today. Sorry in advance

HODLing? What’s that?

Zaps have literally changed me…
