Man is a wolf to man

Bitcoin is that ineradicable, universal, pagan sentiment. It is that vigorous eruption always found by Nature. It is both the scaffolding of man's Will to Power and the Representation of the World's Will.

I feel like I am building capital that will last and is mine on Nostr

Nostr offers the satisfaction of and fulfilment of gardening, sculpting, or working for yourself, as opposed to working for others

Leftism is a biological phenomenon

It's not left-right, it's really the upward pointed table of values (those of Nature) vs the downward-pointed table of values (slave morality), and it will always be this way

If desire is suffering, as the Buddha articulated, because the emergence of desire for a thing also induces the realisation and pain that you don't have it, then a world of saturated advertising is like a smothering demonic environment, made to create perpetually unsatisfied, restless and anxious consumers.

You are right although I would add a caveat. The scoreboard is absolute, sure, however there's a PoW and a PoS way of getting to said score.

An electric, or gravitational, or even a sexual polarity creates an energetic field across it through which movement and dynamism happen. Too much polarity and you get violent discharge. Nice just to know my own scoreboard.

"War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness; nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend: the city of the Men of Númenor; and I would have her loved for her memory, her ancientry, her beauty, and her present wisdom. Not feared, save as men may fear the dignity of a man, old and wise." - Faramir

"But folk must grow weary there, even in their gardens, as do all things under the Sun in this world." - Faramir

The films did not do justice to Faramir as this great character and man of depth is painted in the book.

A lot of people have heard my moped story but I don’t think I’ve ever told the story of my extremely cheap wedding lol 😂

I got married in 2016, at the time I was aggressively stacking sats and trying to be as frugal as possible.

So I convinced my fiancée to have the wedding in our backyard to save money.

Total cost was under $5,000 which included the dress and her ring (seriously). So how did I pull that off when weddings in America routinely cost 30-50k?

Here’s how…

1. Ring: Her ring is fake. More specifically it’s a moissanite which is a lab grown gemstone that looks like a diamond but isn’t a diamond. My wife was on board with this because it allowed her to get a much bigger stone than she otherwise would have and no one can tell the difference. Total cost: $1,200

2. Dress: When it came time to pick out the dress I didn’t want to interfere, so I just let her mom and sister go pick one out with her. She didn’t have a budget, but she was fully bought into my crazy money saving plan and found a dress she loved that only cost $500. That’s how you know you’re marrying the right girl. Total cost: $500

3. Venue: Free obviously because we did it in our backyard, but I did spend a little buying gifts for the neighbors because we were going to be making a lot of noise. Total cost: $200

4. Tables & chairs: We rented these, something to understand when it comes to rentals. When I called vendors for this wedding I didn’t tell any of them it was a wedding. I used the word “event” on the phone. This makes everything 30% cheaper. Total cost: $600

5. Decorations: we bought a nice metal arch to get married under for $300 and then we spent an additional $500 on lanterns, tablecloths, candles, fake flowers etc… I put them all up myself. Total cost: $800

6. Drinks: Instead of having a fancy bar with a bartender or whatever I went to Costco bought a bunch of wine and beer, threw it in a cooler and called it a day. Total cost: $500

7. Music: at this point in the thread you really think I’m hiring a fancy DJ for this shit? lol no we had a Bluetooth speaker. Total cost: $200

8. Food: instead of doing some BS catering company we got a taco cart guy. Taco cart guy is the shit, you should really have one of these at every event. Everyone loved this dude and said they were some of the best tacos they’ve ever had. Total cost: $500

9. Photo/video: Even though I was running a production company at this time we decided to skip the video altogether. Why? Because nobody ever watches it. Plus my business partner and crew members were going to be attending the wedding. The only thing you want is that one photo of you walking down the aisle that you’re going to hang in the house. So I hired a good photographer I knew in town to show up for 20 mins and take a few shots of the ceremony. Total cost: $400

Bringing the grand total for the backyard wedding to $4,900

The wedding was so out of the norm by modern standards, that my new father in law pulled me aside and suggested I was being too frugal and needed to loosen up a bit. I smiled and nodded politely and then continued right along my path. My wife was on board, I was on board. We had a vision for our future. No one was going to stop me, no matter how “well intentioned” A vision I’m happy to report we are living today.

You want different results than others? You gotta do different shit than they do. Be weird. People will judge you for it, but it won’t matter, because in the end you’ll win.

Today we look back fondly on our cheap wedding. 10/10 would recommend.

Exact same thing, summer garden party.

We spent 5k on food and drink and a bit more on the gold rings, but total cost of 12k (before 2020) and both stacked more. We also didn't like the industry built up around the institution of marriage anyway and enjoy the creativity and process of doing things our own way.

Several people, especially the seasoned older crowd, said it was the best wedding they'd been to because everything was hand crafted by us and so personal and different. Proof of work for the win again. Less signalling is often more substance.

The diet is excellent for gaining muscle and bone density but you need to eat enough fat for energy and to become ketone adapted, so that the protein can be used for building.

If you are eating low/zero carb but don't eat adequate fat you will turn protein into glucose in the liver, and so still be running on glucpse, which is inefficient and inflammatory, as opposed to using antiinflammatory ketones.

The ratio is 35g fat to 100g lean muscle meat, by weight before cooking, per meal.

You should eat when hungry. If you over eat your blood sugar and insulin will rise and your ketones will drop. You also need organs twice per week, adding fat to the same ratio.

The shallow end of the pool is where the turds float

"The individual today is as sovereign as an individual in any other period of history, perhaps even stronger, because as collective powers gain ground, so the individual is separated from the old established associations and must stand for

himself alone. He becomes Leviathan’s antagonist, indeed his conqueror and his tamer."

- Ernst Junger, The Forest Passage

"When you come upon misdeeds, speak out against them, and give your enemies no peace."

- Odin's advice to mortals for virtuous living.

When Xenophon wrote in Anabasis 2,400 years ago, "A day will come when Zeus' eagle serenely and mercilessly extends its claws", he was talking about the empowerment Bitcoin will enshrine to a certain type of man.

In competitive reality, the feelings of being superior and right are indispensable to both acting and succeeding

While the "Bitcoin fixes this" meme is exoteric, the esoteric process it describes is the victory in perfect dharmic inevitability; everything, everywhere, all at once lending it's power to our manifestation trending toward absolute perfection. Bitcoiners are unstoppable Solar Beings.

Every resistance not arising on a foundation of reconquest is destined to fail.
