Wealth based systems are the future. #Bitcoin is the foundation for wealth based financial capital. Critical thinking is required. Bitcoin class of 2017.

I don't really have thoughts, just hopes. I hope we elect someone who will balance the budget and stop devaluing the currency. I hope we elect someone who will follow the laws, and advocate for bad laws to be changed. I hope we elect someone who will approach the rest of the world from a position of strength with the goal being peace and love instead of power and distrust. I hope we elect someone who will learn the lessons of the past and build a new path to a future that we all want to live in.

Hashed content cannot be altered after the fact. So I think it's an important option that we would want to explore. A good example of a protective hashed system is IPFS, which saves content hashes for any size file. I've been wondering if something like that could be used on Nostr or integrated with Nostr at some point.

yeah, who wants kids in costumes. so 20th century.

I have a co-worker who has one of those 6' curved screens in front of him. Insanity. Jealous as hell, but still insane.

We don't want to turn the wheel, we want to break the wheel.

At least until VR headsets become mainstream...

The best thing anyone can do with an Apple computer is to install Linux.

That kind of attitude makes it very difficult to have a reasonable conversation. The world is not black and white.

If you're not interested in reasonable conversation about the issues, I'll just move on.

Ok, but Progressives and Conservatives are English words that are entirely subjective. Teddy was a progressive for his time, I'll give him that. But the progressive movement that he identified with was MUCH older than he was, and he simply grabbed the flag and moved to the head of the march, he didn't actually start it. When he was a 7 year old boy in 1865 looking out his window in New York as the coffin of Abraham Lincoln rolled by, the Progressive Movement was already strong. Just because history books identify the "Progressive Era" as starting in 1901 doesn't mean that the Progressive Movement isn't older than that. It's much older than that. The American Revolution itself was a Progressive rebellion.

And Wilson was the nominee of the Democratic Party, not the Progressive Party. He had some progressive policies in his platform, but he was being led by progressives in Congress more than anything else, something that is forgotten today by too many.

The natural tendency of capitalism is to concentrate wealth and power into fewer and fewer hands. The effort to reverse that trend and distribute wealth and power into more and more hands is at the core of the Progressive Movement, and the struggle between the two forces has existed for as long as money has been in existence.

So you're using a definition of Progressive written and perfected by people who self-identify has hating so called progressives? How is that supposed to bring you closer to an understanding of our perspective? All it does is drive a wedge between you and the people you are talking to. Just from what I can see in the link text without clicking on the article, I can see that the author has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Institutionalized racism? Totally against what progressives stand for.

If you want to understand something, don't come at it from the perspective of someone against that something. It really doesn't help.
