No… and I only say that because all of the books were historical and all covered aspects of genocides that I didn’t know much about. So it was quite depressing in that respect.

No comparison as I don’t get shit like people being murdered in my feed on Nostr. You can be traumatized on Twitter within 5 seconds of getting on it.

I’ve been off Twitter and all social media except for Nostr for a month now, and the results are hard to argue with.

I’ve started reading real books again (4 this month) and have noticed both my patience and attention increase noticeably. I also feel less angry and anxiety daily, along with being committed to my workout routine.

I found that Nostr has met my social media needs, most importantly, my own ability to self-limit with it. Nostr is a bit ‘boring’ compared to traditional social media because ITS NOT TRYING TO KILL YOU!!!

Controlling your own data isn’t nearly as important in terms of ownership, as it is about allowing that information to be used against you. All of your most intimate thoughts and feelings are data mining by massive corporations specifically to find emotional triggers for you, so they can sell you shit, or force thoughts on to you.

Fuck these people that run these companies that farm our emotions to sell us shit, and to work with corrupt government to censor our speech, sell out dissidents, and destroy our internet.

We are much, much, much more powerful than they will ever be because we don’t need force, corrosion, or permission to run these systems of social connections that they cannot destroy.

My month of social media detox has really lifted the veil from the hate industry complex that are all social media companies today. Stop prostitution your content, thoughts and powers to these shitty companies that enrich the scum of the earth, and empower illegal, unconstitutional and immoral government agencies from their dragnet surveillance.

I’ll make one last tweet explaining this and then nuking my account in the next few weeks. Then I’ll be Nostr only.

“Don’t trust, verify”

That was for cryptography, not food safety, dumbass.

I can’t believe these morons are actually going to try to fight math and think they are going to win.

You can really tell the last decade has been hard on him

Nothing. Every genocide in human history is precipitated by a slew of clear and present warnings that most ignore. The masses are doomed; the question is who is listening and willing to resist.

There seems to be a zeitgeist of understanding that we have firmly entered the, “then they fight you” phase.

We have one shot to save the internet as a free and open platform for all people everywhere; or to collapse into it become the most powerful propaganda and brainwashing tool ever created.

Now is the time to prepare, because there will not be another shot later.

Sorry for the subtweet

Yeah this is pretty spot on imho

I feel bad for guys that are pretty creepy. It’s not like they have good (or any) awareness around their creepiness, and usually leave women within their proximity feeling the ick from their creepy vibes which they don’t realize they are putting out. The real shame is that it evokes so much shame, guilt and denial that there’s no way to really talk with them about it in a constructive way. Almost nobody wants to be creepy, but ironically creepies tend to have the least amount of awareness that makes them all the more creepy. It’s really sad to see once you realize the creepy aspect is then really wanting connection and incapable of it because of their creepy vibes.

While there will only be 10 opportunities in your lifetime to make investments that can change your life, there are countless opportunities to fuck it up everyday.

Be thankful for all the times you didn’t fuck up ❤️.

Never. No man is superior to me, nor have any received divine right to rule over me, and I am insulted by such a farce.

Any man who believes they have divine right over me is my enemy.

Now fascism on the other hand is less objectionable as at least the individual believes their leadership directly anoints them with the will of law, and not the divine right of kings.

My family has three lazy free-loading cats who contribute nothing to the household, and believe they are entitled to food, housing, and medical services.

I call them meowist.

Damn, the public library is the frontlines of the Maoist revolution. All of the displayed books are super woke. Sad to see it become politicized like all other public spaces.

Proprietary AI is designed to dumb you down and modify your understanding of language on a whole through the linguistic application IngSoc through communist techniques and technologies.

It is designed to make you forget words and synonymize them with words of their choosing so you can no longer understand the complexity and nuance of communication.

Now that bitcoin is pegged at $58k we can start working on the real stablecoin project which is 1 BTC = to 1 BTC.

Damn it… I’ll go put in my gym clothes…

I’ve seen them live three time and each show was phenomenal!

I am constantly fascinated at the religion of science and the ridged authoritarianism that comes with it from establishment ‘scientists’ and ‘researchers’.

While real science as a process of testing hypotheses clearly works and has greatly advanced humanity, there seems to be a fundamental disconnect from establishment ‘science’ as bureaucratic process that is self-reinforcing towards itself and its own authority, rather than science itself. To be clear, establishment science is not science at all, and corrupts the very idea of the scientific procedure through using authoritarianism, rather than proof of work to show why their science is actually correct.

This is why so many people today are willing (and mostly correct) in calling well understood scientific processes like vaccination a scam—because it is! It’s no longer real scientific vaccination, but has integrated profit motives of establishment ‘science’ that is more self-serving than scientific.

This is why doctors, scientists; and other ‘experts’ are indigent when it is suggested they are not beyond corruption and that perhaps the pharmaceutical companies or other corporations that sponsor their work could possible be manipulating the ‘science’ to be self-serving to make money. They cannot even think about or consider this because of the existentialism that is brought up from such thoughts.

Similar to The Church; doctors and scientists of the established system believe themselves (not the truth of science) to be the real purveyors of truth and health. They see themselves as being heros who have valiantly self-sacrificed to practice their religion or science as is the truth of the world. The very suggestion that perhaps they do not actually understand what ‘health’ or ‘science’ evokes the greatest of indignation as it suggest that maybe they are doing more harm than good, which results from them not being committed to the truth of the scientific process first and foremost; but the dark and callow truth that they are more concerned about how they will pay their bills and keep their job. Asking hard questions doesn’t do that, obeying blind however does.
