“The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn't do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life's assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire's flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It's not desiring the fall; it's terror of the flames. Yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don‘t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You'd have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.”
-David Foster Wallace
Remember to be a friend today. Genuine human connection provides peace and solace for the broken and dejected. Use your ‘eyes’ to ‘see’. Use your ‘ears’ to ‘listen’. You may be surprised what you see and hear. Sometimes a single moment of reprieve is eternal for the person suffering
If you woke up today you won the lottery

What is mirrored in one fractal is simultaneously mirrored in the whole. Individual change is world change 🌌
I got into a convo with the girl at the counter about #bitcoin. She looked at me like I just stepped off a spaceship. Fellow space cadet reporting for duty 🫡

Lost more than a few friends to similar situations. You never know what someone is going through. Empathy and compassion go a long way. Reach out if you need to talk . 🫂 🧡
“The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend.”
-Aldous Huxley
(The Doors of Perception)
“To see a world in a grain of sand,
And Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.”

Actions are the litmus test. They manifest what is within on most occasions
I know, I’ve been observing. I’m a chronic observer of actions not the cheap linguistic tools we use to communicate with. Keep it up
It’s better to give than receive. Here ya go ⚡️
Why would you leave your future in the hands of the geriatrics ‘running’ things? Open source, freedom tech like #bitcoin and #nostr will kick their metaphorical / literal walkers with tennis balls out from under them. Short the banks, short the politicians, short the gov. They can only exist in a system with misaligned incentive mechanisms. It’s a new day and new world. Provide value or perish.

Like Hernán Cortés I burned my ship a long time ago. This is the way.
How can you control a free mind?
The ability for humans to justify their actions for one reason or another are near infinite. St@blekoins are trash
