Here are my thoughts...

These passages describe an attempt by Jesus' opponents to trap him during his final week in Jerusalem. Religious leaders were increasingly hostile toward Jesus, especially after he cleansed the temple and taught parables criticizing them. They sought to discredit or to have him arrested (buy the romans).

The passages posed a loaded question:

"Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

An answer of "no" would mean he was in violation of Roman law for ensiting a tax evasion.

Saying "yes" would alienate many Jews who resented Roman taxes and saw them as oppressive (the poll tax symbolized subjugation).

Jesus asked for a Roman denarius (a coin used for the tax- made of silver btw). When shown one, he asked:

"Whose likeness and inscription is this?"

They replied, "Caesar's. Jesus then delivered his famous reply:

"Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

Jesus avoided the trap by reframing the issue around ownership and allegiance rather than politics alone.

The coin bore Caesar's image and inscription, so it" belonged" to him ...pay the tax (check your "money" and see who's name is on it- spoiler alert, it says "Federal Reserve Note").

But humans bear God's image, give God your full devotion, loyalty, worship, and obedience (what truly belongs to Him).

If earthly authorities demand what belongs to God (e.g., worship, moral compromise, or idolatry), God takes precedence.

Step #1. Stop trying to educate her. Shes your wife. Not a student. Just talk.

Step #2. Provide food, water, energy and monitery sovereignty and whatever else you think is important. You dont need permission.

Step#3. Half of the shit we think we know is wrong. The other half is hyperbole.

Just confirmed this to be accurate. Try it. 🤡 🌎

We are here...

The words "silver" and "money" are synonymous in several languages.

French: argent (both silver and money)

Hebrew: kesef (כֶּסֶף) (both silver and money)

Irish (Gaelic): airgead (both silver and money)

Scottish Gaelic: airgead (both silver and money)

Welsh: arian (both silver and money)

Breton: arc'hant (both silver and money)

Manx: argid (both silver and money)

Cornish: arghans (historical use for both)

I guess it could be worse...they could mandate your kids go here, like government "schools".

The ancients had far more advanced electrical technology than we have now.

There's literally half a mile of electrical coil buried underneath the Egyptian pyramids (just discovered by ground-scanning LIDAR earlier this year).

All of these ancient buildings were FREE ENERGY GENERATORS, designed to harness the naturally-abundant electrons in our aether/atmosphere to power the cities of old.

It sounds crazy, because our history books were written by a controlling class who is determined to stifle all ancient, abundance-unlocking wisdom, in order to keep us in a false mindset of energy scarcity and dependence.

Billions of dollars are now stolen annually by the pay-to-play energy industry, by charging us for energy that used to be (and was always meant to be) FREE.

Free energy is a proof of steak concept. Actual Physics is proof or work.

We all need to vent sometimes. Is "I'm guilty, I am the crime" a song lyric? Sound familiar...but can't place it.

Proof of work is still Atlas Shrugged

Dear nostr,

I'm working on a nostr based library of indispensable literary works of civilization. My goal is to create a "fire-proof"

Library of Alexandria that can not be corrupted, or destroyed.

I'm looking for input as to what books/texts I should include, and any features that you think would be useful. Also would like feedback on what I should name the npub.

My current folder (almost ready for upload) contains a text version of the Gutenberg Bible, the Magna Carta, the US constitution and Bill of rights, Washington's farewell address, and the entire collection of the Great Books of the Western World.

Is this a project that you find valuable? I'd love some feedback...

Thank you.

Confessions of a MicroStrategy Investor

A letter no one asked for, but everyone should read before handing their Bitcoin dreams to a man in an orange tie.

Dear Fellow Bag-Holders, Future Therapists, and Anyone Still Pretending This Was “Strategic,”

I write to you today not as a proud MicroStrategy shareholder, but as a man who has stared directly into the mirror and whispered the words:

“Bro… what have you done?”

Look—I’m not embarrassed that I invested in Bitcoin. Magical internet money is fine. It’s pure. It’s incorruptible. It’s literally math wrapped in electricity. Beautiful.

I am, however, deeply embarrassed that I gave a company with salaries, leases, marketing teams, HR reps, and a snack budget my money… so they could buy that same magical internet money at a premium, wrap it in a corporate costume, and then somehow—somehow—turn it into something that trades at a discount.

A discount.

On Bitcoin.

In a Bitcoin bull market.

Amazing. Inspirational, even. If there were an Olympic event for turning alpha into coupons, MicroStrategy would sweep the podium.

Do you know how helpless you feel when your investment thesis boils down to:

“I believe in Bitcoin so much I outsourced it to a business with overhead.”

That’s like loving organic vegetables so much you hire a Fortune 500 company to grow them for you under fluorescent lights, at 4× the cost, while their interns eat half the crop.

And yes, yes, I get it—leverage, strategy, blah blah blah. But when your CEO has to juggle debt payments, stock issuance, Twitter theatrics, and a line item called “orange tie dry-cleaning,” you start to wonder:

Was I investing in Bitcoin… or in the world’s most complicated meme account?

At this point, even my Bitcoin-hating uncle respects me more than my financial advisor does. At least the uncle says he bought gold once because “it was shiny.” My excuse? I thought buying a corporate wrapper around Bitcoin was “efficient.” Efficient at what? Converting sats into operating expenses?

If I wanted discounted Bitcoin, I should’ve just bought Bitcoin.

If I wanted chaos, I could’ve bought a shitcoin.

Instead, I bought a stock that somehow blended both worlds. A schrödinger’s tradfi-wrapped-Bitcoin derivative that lives in a simultaneous state of premium and embarrassment.

So here I stand—an MSTR shareholder.

A man who believed.

A man who delegated.

A man who now understands that true self-sovereignty means never relying on a corporate board to stack for you.

Godspeed to us all.

And please—next board meeting—cut the marketing budget before the coupons.

Sincerely,

A Recovering MicroStrategy Apologist

P.S. If anyone needs me, I’ll be buying the underlying asset directly like a grown adult.

The Bitcoin fear and greed index has only been 10 or under 7 times. Single digits on this have marked prices that have never been seen again ($4,900, $19,400, $19,800, $16,200, $84,000).

He's not typical, he's not angry, he doesn't wear panties and he doesn't care who disagrees with him...

but he is a maxi.

I have friends that own a family farm that use Square as their Point of Sale system. I've been talking to them about Bitcoin for some time with typical reactions.

I showed them this feature and a new Bitcoin family was born!

Best Orange Pill machine I've ever seen.

I am well read in western philosophy regarding minimalist thought (Stoicism, Existentialism, Pragmatism, Epicureanism, etc). But I am knowingly ignorant of eastern works. Ive studied Buddhist philosophy superficially. Where are my blind spots?

First they deprive us on how to think, then we convince ourselves thinking isn't necessary. 🫠

WTF is "ascendant acoultical information"? This sounds like something I'd make up to convince you to stop thinking.

supplement

/sŭp′lə-mənt/

noun

Something added to complete a thing, make up for a deficiency, or extend or strengthen the whole.

You can't supplement something that is essential.
