This is the shortest book I've ever read that changed my life.

It's "The Enchiridion" By Epictetus. Epictetus is one of the most important Stoics in history. He was a philosopher and slave. However, although he was a slave, he was more free than most rulers.

Here is the craziest part. Marcus Aurelius, the guy I cite daily, was emperor of Rome while Epictetus was a slave in Rome.

Both practiced the same philophy and wrote about the same things. Both had the same human challenges. Both knew that power and freedom comes from within and that only things that you can control can be moral or immoral.

A philophy practiced by emperors and slaves alike. Study stoicism.

Nostr is an open protocol and anyone can build whatever they want. Feel free to do so. This being said, I don't want to build or use shitcoin Integrations, especially not to attract shitcoiners for "user growth". In my opinion, this is not the way. I rather have a few principled people here as user base with slow but steady growth because Nostr is turning into the superior product, compared to existing legacy services. Maybe it's just me, and you have a different opinion, and that's ok. This is an air message to multiple discussions on my timeline. Here are some birds at sunset I want to add to my gallery.

oh my god in the future we'll say "my nutsack is getting drained way too quickly" @pablof7z WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

Name ONE thing the government ever made better by getting involved.

After watching this three times, the only response I can come up with is “OMFG”.

There are people so talented in this world that it would shock you.

Nostr is “still not working” he says, in his reply to me on Nostr.

Both Biden and Trump are kind of retarded. We have known this for a long time.

During the debate, Biden’s age issues became unmasked. And then during the tragic shooting on Trump, he had the courage and presence of mind to fist bump and come out very strong. And in their emotion, people of course rally behind strength.

But then when we go back to hearing Trump speak for an extended period of time, we are reminded that he is kind of retarded, like where we were before, prior to the emotion of the crisis.

Nothing stops this train. All our heroes are retarded. Stay humble and stack sats.

questions are the most important currency we have

Stop sucking up to politicians and bankers.

Where we’re going, we don’t need ‘em.
