The rule count is too dang high I like freedom. #helistr

Skeptics sometimes become the most persuasive future defenders of truth.

Let it be so.

The tiny house custom RV is complete and earning revenue for the homestead!

After seven and a half years, I've finally completed and put the tiny house RV I've been building into operation at the homestead.

I started building it in November 2016 thinking I could complete the project in a year but I fell victim to the common homesteading practice of building many systems at once. Since my time and energy was split between so many projects at once, the time I had for working on the tiny house was quickly narrowed down to a few months in the winter.

The days were short and the weather was challenging, plus I was learning many of the techniques from scratch, teaching myself as I went. This made for very slow progress.

However, there were some benefits of moving small and slow on the project. I was able to avoid making any critical/costly mistakes. I also had lots of time to souce cheap and unique reclaimed/recycled materials. Plus, I was able to totally customize and build each component to be unique, leading to it feeling like a work of art rather than a construction project.

For now, I don't think I'll be taking on another project of this scale again anytime soon. But in the end, I taught myself all the skills to build a house from framing and roofing to plumbing and electrical, on down to the finishing techniques for trim.

The intellectual and experiencial capital was definitely worth having so much financial capital tied up in the project for so long. Before I know it, I will have earned it all back anyway leaving me with much more capital than I started with. Low time preference paying off.

Love it!

Billionaires don’t get arrested getting off their private jets….

That was the rule for a long time. The world is in flux.

Seems like a good time to acquire some #bitcoin.

Love to see it. In an honest system wealth will naturally distribute widely.

I see a bitcoin boating accident in your future sir.

Sounds like a lawyer approved way to say government officials who spread the Russian disinformation story engaged in election interference. Good for him for getting that out there.

I flew a helicopter tonight using night vision goggles (NVGs). Photons turned into electrons, amplified, then turned into an eyepiece image. Magic technology so I can see in the dark and avoid obstacles. While it helps to understand the principles of the science, I don’t have to understand everything about how it works to use it professionally.

There’s a bunch of #bitcoin analogies here.

Nope, I’m waiting to see if my servants in government or some Apple employees reach into my phone and do the work for me.

As I observe the world around me, I notice that productive people generally have a higher quality of life than non-productive people.

P.S. I said productive people, not busy people.

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.

Any change that results in reading more books is probably good for you.

When #bitcoin is pumping I like to tell my wife how much money we’re making (in fake fiat $) while we’re out to dinner, walking the dog, on the lake etc. While it’s dumping I don’t say anything.

This helps keeps her happy. Least I can do😎.

It’s an attack on the application of freedom of speech. The system doesn’t mind you having freedom of speech, they just don’t like when you use it.
