Wen drafts?

Plz Nostr devs, all I have our my strings of ADHD thoughts… without drafts I can only get half-asses hip shot notes out.

Bitcoin is the consciousness awakening that has us understand that we can use cryptography as a tool to liberate ourselves from the digital slavery we have all found ourselves captured within.

Only by understanding its praxis will we escape from the powerlessness of our politics.

Man…twitter is becoming absolutely deranged. I seriously question why I even look at it anymore between the surprise porn, violence, or emotional abuse all designed for eyeballs and clicks.

It’s pretty wild to see that this whole model is starting to eat itself. Glad we have an alternative like this, and I’m excited to see where it goes.

To be sovereign involves the greatest form of self care that there is; a responsibility for both your future self, and your future community, which means an intimacy and knowledge of the tools which allow for you to be free to make choices that direct the future. Both bitcoin and nostr are the most powerful tools we have in that quest for self-care. nostr:note1vwd4fvq6v799nmh53550vnjl05gc5yk6u72m3zjcnuzacl7gcs7qja8aw3

The first time I learned that it was a real political theory I glitched out, “How TF is it possible to have a politics based around no rules?!?!” I thought.

I love that anarchist movements (and there by bitcoin) is just a collection of freaks of all sorts of colors, backgrounds, and identities that refuse to go along with the flow and demand the tools to empower themselves, rather than looking for handouts, government protections or privileges.

No Gods, no masters, no gatekeepers, no limits!

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

While I think Francis may be right in some respects, I’m actually finding that going toward the consciousness awakening aspects of bitcoin seems to be shocking people to attention.

It’s not about the money, but about power. When you can show people how fiat in whatever form is used to control people in a variety of ways, they start to wake up to what’s really happening. When you can then connect that to how Bitcoin is a tool of self-empowerment and a counter to fiat as a power; that seems to start to wake people up.

However me stating all of this is some white man’s burden kinda shit, frankly I don’t know the culture or struggle in Africa, so I can’t really say. I’ve just found this is my most recent path towards success with orangepilling folks.

Libertarianism today just means statist-lite; which frankly gives one the worse aspects of statism. In many ways it is like an inversion of the concept of minarchism.

If one truly believes in the principles of traditional classical liberalism, they will inevitably end up as an anarchist, as the state simply cannot respect individual rights or their autonomy.

I always get that wrong 😳

I honestly can’t get over how nice and homily the experience of Nostr is versus that of X. It is clearly from how the algorithms are now squeezing everyone in the final phase of eyeballs and brain cycles to achieve meaningless clicks based off of rage, anger, and generally negative emotional experiences.

It’s pretty scary to think about and realize that there is no one at the wheel, and the raw emotion experience you may be having is there for the free exploitation of the banality that is advertising. In someways I wish this evil had a greater cause or originality; but as evil always is, it is simply banal as it is not the product of thought, but rather the real product of the incapacity of thought.

Got another big storm coming through and needed to get a sump pump installed under the house, but was feeling a lot of resistance to doing it. I was complaining to my 9 y/o son who proceeded to tell me,

“We’ll, you made me do my homework and I didn’t want to do it, but when I was done I was happy it was out of the way, so I’m gonna make you do that so you’ll be happy tomorrow when it’s raining hard and it won’t be flooding under the house.”

So he held the light for me while I crawled around under the house and got it all situated, and helped me run the hose out so that now we should be all square.

It was just a really nice moment with my son that I never shared anything like that with my dad, so it just felt really nice to know that my family can really be a mode of support and motivation for me that I never really got to experience as a child. Having a family is a nice way to get to rewrite those kinds of experiences for ourselves in meaningful and wholesome ways like that.

Thanks for letting me know

I honestly think this is the only way now.

States should utilize the Article 5 clause of the U.S. Constitution to ratify a new amendment.

This would allow for state legislatures ALONE to amend the constitution directly WITHOUT the need for any kind of federal approval of any kind.

This reality is just getting so stupid that it’s pretty overwhelming.

I’ve got a damn bear and mountain lion stalking around my property. Last night when taking out the compost I also ran into the damn bear. He was out on the dirt road next to my property trying to find a way into the orchard—about 20 feet away when I noticed him. Never had something look at me in a predatory way like that before. I slowly backed away the 30 feet back to the house to get another light and bear spray.

Earlier this year I found the remains of a deer along with mountain lion scat in the orchard. Rural living has some risks, but at least I know they’ll kill me if they get a good chance.

I don’t specifically go into that, but lump it in with the rest of crypto

Good days

There are some days that are just made to be good days.

Today was one of those days that God seems to have reserved just for giving to me. I’m sometimes so overwhelmed at how beautiful some of the most basic aspects of life can be, and I feel truly blessed for the life I have. I need to remember days like this so when there is a bad one, or a string of bad ones—or if it even seems that there are only bad ones left—I need to remember what the truth of being is, and how glorious it is that it could be nothing.

Somehow, some way, there is something and not nothing.

So long as we can be, there will always the total possibility of becoming. It is the glorious providence and possibilities that will always be contain in the possibility of becoming good.

The very fact that each new day contains the possibility of becoming, there is always the serendipitous chance, despite all the odds, that it could be good. For a roll of the dice will always abolish chance.

So long as we are being, there will always be the possibility of becoming. And what becoming will always have is the chance and possibility of somehow becoming good.

To remember the good days is to remember the possibility of something becoming good, despite the odds and chances.

Being a Bitcoiner in normie world is hard. Most people think I’m crazy and I generally have to self-censor most places I go. No one wants to face the reality of what is going on, and how to actually fight it. ‘It too much to think about’ is their rally cry as they escape towards mediocracy.

It’s rare to have conversations with normies that enjoy at all, as they feel so programmed and ignorant of everything going on around them. Challenging their views or asking them to try on a different perspective is rare. They are so brittle, uninspiring, and normal—it seems very sad to me that we all have so much potential and this is all they challenge themselves to be.

I empathize and understand why, but at the same time, I fail to understand the lack of curiosity and the drive to understand things and how the world works.

IMHO this is correct. I call these techniques using cryptographic protocols to increase one’s self-sovereignty, “cryptosovereignty”
