My grandparents lived under communism.
My parents lived under communism.
I didn't have to.
No matter what, my kids won't live under the communism.

Many of those who do realize the role of the luck then guilt trip themselves and everyone around as a collateral damage about their "privilege" and thinking that communism will save us.
Thank god for the immigrant hustlers there.
Doxing yourself as a holder while giving up the ownership.
It's crazy how out of the box bad it is.
Hi!
Following nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl ās suggestion, Iām starting a new nostr account, hereās my #introductions post
I am a climber first, other stuff second. I am in a journey to get back in shape to climb an 8a again to honor the memory of my mother.
I expect the training to take about 18 to 24 months.
Hope to some day also work on building crimpstr, or something like that, a social network exclusively for climbers and replace mountainproject, 8a.nu, 27crags and other siloed climbing sites.
I don't know the Mountain Project, but the the AllTrails always came to me as a prime target for a public good.
Maybe with some features for gating the discoverability just for the locals would be nice.
It's annoying how all the nature gems have been getting increasingly exploited in last few years. Can bitcoin/nostr fix that?
Everything that can be taxed will be taxed.
State is the TgU tech.
Vaclav Havel's essay, 'The Power of the Powerless'
Written under Soviet rule, it describes how to foster freedom under an oppressive state through Parallel Construction of alternative systems.

Key takeaway for me:
- It takes just a few random people (freaks) living in truth to shatter the darkness of lie/ignorance/apathy/resignation.
You see any money here?
Comeback soon?
Everyone would as the difference in utility of the grows.
I can't wait until we make this true for all the messaging apps.
Tim Ferriss is not a scientist. Heās a self-proclaimed human guinea pig.
His study of the human body may not be rigorous, but he and others who self-experiment and introspect still offer valuable insights. Their experiences can help us understand health and wellbeing more completely, and they deserve a seat at the table.
Last month Tim posted an insightful article (https://tim.blog/2024/02/02/no-biological-free-lunches/) about his perspective on the project of physical performance optimization in humans.
The basic premise: there are no biological free lunches. Most optimizations of one trait come with a non-negligible trade-off in some other trait.
I would go further than Tim: I believe his premise expands beyond just performance optimization to almost every aspect of human health.
Look at his first three heuristics:
1. Assume there is no biological free lunch.
2. Assume that the larger the amplitude of positive effect of *anything*, the larger the amplitude of side effects.
3. Donāt ask a barber if you need a haircut.
If you agree with these, why shouldnāt they apply to almost every pharmaceutical, or in fact every exogenous compound?
Which brings me to the title of this post: Ozempic. Ozempic is proving to have enormous positive effects on the dimension of human weight loss. The barber recommending the haircut, Novo Nordisk, is now Europeās most valuable public company.
I predict that weāll find out that what looked like a biological free lunch was too good to be true and that Ozempic will follow in the footsteps of other biological free lunches before it.
Good universal heuristics š¤
There must be something about the degrees of separation which objectively makes the EU parliament the worst out of all.
EU is not even a democracy anymore.
It's a blop representing no one else besides themselves.
I've heard Paraguay is a nice residentship. No need to stay there full year, but isn't the worst.
For full time living... Idk.
