if you say you like philosophy but you're not living your life as someone full of inquiry and reflection and skepticism then you're not actually studying philosophy you're just reading it

Thanks for that!

Not a NOSTR killer?

There is no such thing as Western democracy.

Western governments govern their functioning in the judicial system that underpins their constitutions.

No matter which party comes out, their constitutions are practically unbreakable and the laws are very difficult to change.

The state in some ways resembles Bitcoin, its system is designed to be difficult to change.

Your only option is to disobey.

Auto translate stopped working on amethyst. Any solutions?

To have politicians believe in Bitcoin is cool, but it’s not like having Bitcoiners believe in politics.

Don’t trust, verify. Can’t verify? Throw away and build new from scratch.

Bitcoin conferences are bullshit, it's like social media posturing.

I'm more about doing than saying, and mostly more about hiding than showing, I value my privacy too much.

But hey, I accept that most people need to socialize and perceive the group feeling, it's human nature.

What does terrify me, is that, at this point, people and especially bitcoiners in particular trust politicians, and that both bitcoiners and politicians attend the same conferences.

What is the point that is not understood? There is no right and left, it is a false dichotomy, there are no good politicians and bad politicians, there is only the system, the employees of the system and the slaves of the system.

If you support politicians, whatever color they are and whoever they are, you simply support the system.

And what is the system? The system is an extractive machinery of the wealth of the people who live in a certain geographically delimited territory, a parasite.

What you really have to see is the extractive capacity of the state, to realize that it has no limits and that it does not matter the underlying ideology.

This graph shows the percentage of taxes collected by some governments from 1868 to 2008. It is a pity that the graph is not updated to 2023 because clearly the minimum would already be above 50%.

This is what really matters, and it's not going to change no matter who you vote for, taxes just go up and up and up.

Stop believing in politicians and start believing in yourself.

Can we stop with the happy wife, happy life and start with happy spouse, happy house? Happy men in relationships matter just as much as a happy woman!

SimpleX is built to solve keet's privacy issues among others.

Keet is not a good solution.

To clarify why many people give me Session as an example as an alternative to Signal, let's take a look at the differences between SimpleX and Session.

Session:

- network of federated servers supported by a shitcoin, will not be viable over time and will lose its incentives because like all shitcoin its value tends to 0.

-Not everyone can set up a server due to its cost.

- It has no encrypted calls or video calls, at least in production.

- It works very poorly.

- they keep an id of users susceptible to be tracked.

SimpleX:

- There is no server network as such, it is like the email protocol, everyone can have their server at a ridiculous cost, the servers only have to comply with the protocol so that clients can send messages through them.

- It has encrypted calls and video calls and it works.

- There is no id with which users can be linked or traced.

- The servers know absolutely nothing about the users, and with whom they communicate, since different routes are used for sending and receiving.

The SimpleX architecture is unique and superior to what has been done so far in private messaging.

First time I had Alligator. Its taists like a mix of chicken and calamari.

Are there flat earthers on Nostr, or did we leave them all behind on Twitter?

Haven’t seen any cringeworthy flat earther posts on here yet, which is refreshing
