Formerly @PortsmouthBTC on The Dead Bird. Used to do some stuff. Finally started doing stuff again. Possibly the only Bitcoiner to have *actually* lost everything in a boating accident. 🟠2013 🟣2023 #photography & #boatlife & #growstr #fishing amd #vibecoding fan and reforming church goer.

I think you know exactly what zi mean by pro traditional family values, ie extolling the virtue of finding a good mate, raising kids, going to church, helping your neighbours, being self sufficient etc.

Like I said above, I've seen some truly awful racist shit, I've seen anti black comments, I've seen anti Jew comments, but I'm yet to see anyone saying all gays are bad or kill all trans people etc. I'm not saying it's not there, however...

...it's not uncommon for people to interpret people speaking about traditional family values as being anti gay or trans, just because it's not pro those things.

Now someone's started pulling in MSM feeds it's even handier to get a feel for what's also happening in normieville while at the same time not being surrounded by people who are constantly on edge and ready to attack.

I haven't seen much of that, though I have send some deeply racist shit. Are you sure what you're interpreting to be "anti" LGBT or trans isn't actually pro traditional values?

Stoicism in a nutshell. You aren't responsible for other people's behaviour, only your own. There is nothing wrong with feeling, whether it's anger or joy. However, it is entirely up to you how you respond to those emotions.

That said, when you slip and react in line with your initial emotional response, there's nothing inherently wrong with that, to err is human after all. But cultivating the skill to take a deep breath before responding will reduce the occurrence of moments like that.

It's critical skills for guys especially. We're no less emotional than women, but we have a duty, due to our greater capacity for destruction, to learn how to manage our responses.

I made it! 🎉

More funny money to be converted to some sats and the best part, it was worthwhile work.

Perhaps not as important as Bitcoin related work, but still, worth the effort.

I've long fasted, intermittently, without realising that it's a "thing", but out of natural habit. That said, usually I'd fast approx one day a week and it's never harmed me. I recently started eating late due to fiat mining and I've been feeling rough every time, so that's stopping and I'll only be eating for a few hours a day now, nothing after 7pm.

At Tiroah (pronounced tī-rō-uh), we strive for reinvention and innovation. It is a place where we focus on higher learning. We embrace academic freedom and freedom of speech for instructors and students. Our mission is to re-ignite independent thinking, freedom of thought, open discussion, civil discourse, and the desire for learning.

Not only do we want students to learn traditional concepts but we also want them to be able to achieve higher-order thinking skills, critical thinking skills, analytical thinking skills, logical thinking skills, and effective problem solving.

Students at Tiroah will be able to advance their knowledge base via traditional courses (e.g. Calculus, Biology, Ethics) and non-traditional courses (e.g. Geopolitics, Investing, Emotional Intelligence, Cryptography.)

All courses are student-centered in which students create their own Individualized learning plans and can choose an instructor from any place in the world. Courses will be live or self-directed.

At Tiroah, students are in the “drivers seat” and have the power, autonomy, and control over their learning. The design of the courses will allow students to accelerate quickly through a program or learn at their leisure. There are no penalties if a student chooses to stop a course. Moreover, students can change instructors as desired. No longer are the days of being “stuck” with an instructor for an entire semester.

Courses at Tiroah will be designed to be topics-based. Thus, allowing students to choose to learn all topics of a particular subject or a few selected topics. We will provide students with suggested/recommended learning plans. However, it will ultimately be the students’ choice!

Since Tiroah has no walls and no borders, students are given the opportunity to create their own learning hubs or educational pods with their peers online or in-person.

Unlike traditional colleges and universities, Tiroah won’t offer degrees nor certificates. We believe in students obtaining a skill set that is applicable to many professions.

We also will not be funded by the government nor investors seeking a profit. So you may be asking…1) How will instructors get paid? Students will pay instructors directly…in Bitcoin! Students can pay for each topic or the entire course. But not all courses will be paid content. There will be tons of free content available for students to access via desktop and mobile device. In turn, the overall cost of learning at Tiroah will be less than traditional colleges and universities.

Moreover, Tiroah will never charge students nor instructors fees such as registration fees or set-up fees. In fact there will be no registration, sign-up, email address, phone number, username nor password required to access content. We plan to use the #nostr protocol which would require students to only enter their npub and nsec.

Tiroah will not engage in revenue sharing. Payments are made directly from student to instructor.

2)Who will pay for the operating costs of Tiroah? We will rely on donors who believe in our mission and vision to support us. Please donate! All donations are greatly appreciated. 🫂

About the Founder: The founder of Tiroah is a multiple award winning former faculty member who taught at the collegiate level for over 15 years. The founder is an expert in program and curriculum development as well as course creation and design. The founder has participated in high level projects for local and statewide initiatives. Moreover, the founder has created an online course used by students in over 100 countries.

The founder has first-hand knowledge of the pros and cons of higher education and understands the issues related to higher education. Issues that many students and instructors can relate to. It’s obvious higher education needs an overhaul. Sometimes it’s best to start over than to repair it. Tiroah’s vision is to be at the forefront of the new frontier of higher learning!

Interesting idea that has the potential to not just provide a boost to education but also to reimagine how education may be provided and facilitated.

No but I've loved seeing him post some of them. I might write to him one day though.

I've just noticed ZBD have updated the splash screen on their social page so I can now watch a video or enter an invite code if I have one.

I've seen some negative comments from people, but I like what ZBD are doing and they'll help cement #nostr as a protocol to be used by thousands more people.

No, I won't be handing over my nsec but that's not the point.

ZBD, like nostr:npub1hm63f02cer8w5jltne4cf2xeswf477lzday7zn0kszv0rwnyz4hqcmzr0p, provide a great way to onboard newbies and I'm looking forward to them opening up their social links to everyone. Still not sure why it's taking so long though, tbh.
