Dude. Your making a mess. 🫣

To think that one’s vote is powerless, or that democracy is already broken, or that corruption will always rule politics, is simply being blind to the way that decentralization actually works. It grows from the bottom.

Never outsource trust to anyone else. Face your own fears, and embrace the rewards. #belibertarian

Would love a chance to talk about the client I’m trying to get off the ground, and get feedback from Chicago peeps.

Yup. If it’s truly important, your friends and family will let you know.

Keep it local.

I agree. However, in a state of sensory overload, one’s ability to analyze and act on information becomes diminished. Addressing this information distinction problem head on (like: “watch out for fake news”) may not be so effective.

Maybe, instead of more information (like anything online) what might work to get people out of information crisis could be some form of calming intervention. Just saying.

To be loved and respected is not a human right, but a privilege of living in society. Everyone desires it but nobody gets enough. And those ascetics suffering outside of society get none.

We take love for granted, as if it were not a laborious effort on its own. It is, and should be appreciated as such.

When I say I love you, or I respect you for who you are (which I aspire to do for everybody) do not pretend that this is just a simple thing. Love is everything precisely because it is so hard.

Love and respect are a privilege to share, and to share freely, but not one to expect from others. nostr:note13mrvgm53vh96hjfqq446x8ntmr5yvghj2d6hkxgkm7uzgheq0syqdk463v

Voluntary cooperation is freedom. We are each responsible for its implementation, by simply respecting differences and working together, one person at a time.

Nothing more is to blame for anyone’s slavery, and nothing less will bring liberty for all.

To be clear, the dump truck metaphor needs a middle pane, where the individual with a flag is hailing in the truckload of info.

This information overload is by choice of each one of us, at least the older and current generations who still know better.

“Distinguishing between valuable and problematic” SHOULD be as simple as keeping focus on the original problem, the question to be solved, as the info dumps upon us.

In our world of “attention for sale” (where the attention brokers would be akin to the dump truck dispatch HQ), keeping focus on (let alone actually being able to discover) real problems to solve is easier said than done.

Our better challenge is not to filter the information coming in, but to remember the important questions as more information is pilled on.

Nope. Kill it. Make way for custom feeds from user lists and saved searches. IMHO

That cat has managed to avoid pooping himself while being paralyzed from the waist down. Yoga or not, most humans and cats in this situation would need diapers AND a wheelchair. Such strength and determination is rare.

Tried this using Nostrum, a native NIP-46 key management app for IOS. Didn’t work. Any idea?

Leave it to a #libertarian to know how hard it is to stay focused on the pursuit of self sovereignty. This involves discovering, owning, and taking responsibility for one’s place in this world. It’s hard.

Most #individuals could care less for this endless quest. Some just want to be led by others. Some want more to lead others, than to be individually sovereign. Many people suffer, and many more reflect their suffering onto others. These are all ways of being human.

Our “job” as #freedom lovers is not to build a world where all these options just “disappear”, or even one where “better ways” are more “desirable” than others. This is not #peace and #liberty for all.

Because all ways (let alone all the “best” ways) to be human can never be known, #respect for every one must be the heart of any #libertymovement.

Respect for others and for oneself is a work in progress. It will never be easy. There are no shortcuts. Life is hard. Life with humans is even harder.
