You may not have been early compared to most now,

but you will be early compared to most later.

That's why we need to cultivate patience and humility, so we're ready to show them how to use these tools once they find them.

Good morning, Nostriches. Those who love truth are part of God's people.

We are the "MP" in LMPG.

But #Bitcoin is NOT a weapon, and running it is NOT violence. 😉

Fun fact: Yeshua (a.k.a. Jesus) was actually crucified on a Thursday, not a Friday.

Happy Good Thursday, everyone! 😌

Good morning, Nostriches. It's time to end all forms of slavery once and for all.

Hans...why the repeated ad hominem? If you believe in something, stand up for it. Explain why you have an opinion, and if the other person disagrees, let them have their opinion. Just go your separate ways, and let the truth come out with time. But calling someone an idiot over and over again, with no explanation or anything? That's just low, and in the time I've been in contact with you, I expected more.

"Nobody gets to unsubscribe from this power projection game."

Um...that's literally what technology is and always has been: a way to unsubscribe from that power projection game. Whether it's the ability to cook food, or carry heavy loads on wheels, or stay afloat on water, or fly through the air, or orbit the earth, or make new friends on different continents, or use open, unchangeable, permissionless money -- *all* of it is a way to gradually unsubscribe from the "power projection game" played by physics.

Lowery seems to think that technology is a way for us to rewrite the laws of physics as we blind idiots see fit. But in reality, technology is just a *leveraging* of the the unbreakable laws of physics, so we can escape more consequences of the unforgiving physical world.

חג פסח שמח!

Happy Passover!

I agree. As Benjamin Franklin put it, we have "a republic, if [we] can keep it."

It's the part about keeping it that we tend to have trouble with.

Jimmy, please don't try to make it sound like we've never tried real Democracy before, the way that capitalists say we've never tried real capitalism before, and that socialists say we've never tried real socialism before. We have tried all those before, and every collapse of civilization was preceded by fiat philosophies like democratism and socialism.

Democracy is nothing more than 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. It is the ultimate rule of rulers without rules. A constitutional republic was better (for all 2 seconds that it has truly ever lasted), because it's essentially the rule of rules without rulers, where everyone has a voice and yet everyone's rights are protected. But people always break the constitutional rules quite quickly, as such rules are only as good as their enforcement by fallible humans. Or, in other words, even a constitutional republic breaks down very quickly into the democracy of 2 wolves and a sheep.

Perhaps we should try anarchy again, in which every individual and family watches out for and protects their own God-given rights. Unfortunately, I don't believe most human beings are mature enough for that, yet (I even have personal doubt's as to whether I would be mature enough for that). So, until that day, let's jeep building open source rules without rulers, with natural incentives built in, so even though the rules can be broken, no one in their right mind would ever want to.

But I know what you mean. 😉

A knowledge of and relationship with God is proof of work.

What she's thinking: "Wait until they find out where I tied up the doge."

Normally, that would be a tragedy, but under present circumstances...

I think of this sort of thing every time I send out sats to #[1] users. I hope and pray they hodl.

I just bought an account on nostr.build, and I didn't even see what time it was until after I got my receipt.

I love it when things like this happen. 😆
