Who would’ve thought the client with the most / gimmicky marketing is the worst technically

Thank you! I have learned a lot the past few years. Looking forward to leveling up and learning more.

I have a genuine love for building things in the real world.

Retirement to me means I can build interesting stuff for myself all day.

I want to leave a legacy of nice things that are engineered and built to last for centuries, possibly a millennium.

You can definitely get sucked into the clown show trying to interface with people who don’t understand.

If it comes up, I say what I think in an unemotional way. And just leave it at that. I feel like planting seeds but not dwelling does work over time.

I for sure wouldn’t be on Facebook or xitter trying to interface with people I don’t know trying to wake them up. But maybe some people close to you, especially if they’ve shown signs of being receptive in the past, are worth the effort.

I could say the obvious shit we’re all tired of hearing: buy Bitcoin peaceful protest build parallel systems blah blah blah but I know my audience here

Thinking “the news” informs is actually just the useful idiot rationalizing their place as a useful idiot. This includes all of the garbage nostr “news” which is probably intelligence agencies doing what they do - manipulating thoughts and actions.

Giving ANY politician an ear and buying into their drivel is admitting you’re a gullible peasant. Learn the lesson, stop making the same mistake.

Disengage completely from government / mainstream narratives so your thinking isn’t tainted by their propaganda.

The people caught in the news cycle always become unwitting pawns in the game. They think they’re staying informed, but they’re actually being manipulated to to being idiots. Government press / MSM is strictly a tool to program people to think a certain way, which creates actions that benefit those in power. They don’t tell the truth. They just say what they need to to get the desired results from their serfs.

Ignoring all of it makes you immune to becoming a useful idiot.

Focus on being productive, observing the actual world around you and thinking for yourself. It’s the release from their dark spell.

Refuse to be a useful idiot.

The people in charge really hate that and so do all of the idiots. Perfection.

It is hilarious (and pathetic) that gold bugs have this delusion. They really imagine themselves walking around as lords with bouillon worth $20k/oz shaving little flecks onto extremely precise digital scales in cafes and shit 🤣

The other reason why gold is dead in the water is it can’t be used for online commerce. Which is at least 1/5th of all transactions.

Also supply can’t be audited and is inflationary to the tune of ≈1.5% annually. Gold is fully retarded.

I feed my dog fresh pet grain free and mix 50/50 with chicken thighs I cook. She is 10 and extremely healthy.

Why aren’t there ANY protests against the institution of the Federal Government and/or the Federal reserve?

If this started happening the uniparty would be failing and in danger. Their greatest innovation was the illusion of a viable alternative. Divisive policy corrals half of the population into supporting the Uniparty no matter what, and nobody gets it.

All the “no king” morons were getting warm. Yet they just want a uniparty alternate who will fuck them and the rest of the world equally with the exact same core policies: more decrees, more debt, more violence, more inflation, less rights, less freedom.

How everyone can’t see this is beyond me. Lambs to the slaughter.

Imagine paying 50% of your income in taxes every check and thinking you get a good deal because you don’t have to “pay” for the 6 doctors visits you had throughout your adult life.

Government really does need to keep people stupid to remain operational.

They want a big sell off. They want a big print. They want defense stonks to pump for another decade.

Very likely they completely misremember their own arguments and yours as well. Both more in favor of them being less wrong. It’s a coping mechanism for people who are wrong.

One of my good friends is apolitical but kind of loves Trump. I was tearing Trump down when he brought him up and my friend could not accept that Trump was behind operation warp speed 😂 he had morphed the past into an alternate reality that he found more acceptable. Weird but predictable.

I can see why devs would hope for the opposite.

“It is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit.” -Socrates

There is something very off-putting about humans who don’t build their fitness with discipline and enthusiasm. Socrates knew.

Think of trying to mute millions of morons though. It would be tsunami you couldn’t keep up with.

Why not?

Feels like when things go mainstream they lose what made them excellent in the first place. This feels like an exclusive club now. Feel like it would lose that aura.

I hope nostr never goes mainstream.

Starts as a comedy, ends as a cautionary tale 👌

I think the hosting is an issue for such a data intensive model. But I would love to see it. I do like the reality that a lot the video content exists and could just be uploaded to a mower based solution, if the hosting issue could be figured out. But idk I’m fully retarded when it comes to tech.

Brutal experience to witness. My grandpa went through it and it was truly heartbreaking. Wishing you all peace and strength.

No, no of course not. That would make my company a scam. You have my word I will not. Now how many shares can I put you down for?

The GX crew is so gnarly.

Watch GX1000 sometime for top notch entertainment.

Such a trap. Especially considering most retirement funds will not beat debasement and over 30 years that siloed capital will probably lose half its purchasing power to inflation.

Yeah the process of starting a business and going through a calendar year will radicalize anyone. All the red tape and the state, municipal and federal taxes at the end of the year. Infuriating and demoralizing.

I was growing weed in college and loved it so after graduation I doubled down and built it into a cool little boutique business. But the state I was in legalized cannabis shortly thereafter and if you didn’t have a million dollars in capital you couldn’t go legal, so I went full black. Did that for a long while and felt a sense of pride in not bending the knee or contributing to The State’s insanity.

Hell of a journey beejay.

I was raised by an ex marine who wholeheartedly believes the American / nation state propaganda. But for some reason I never internalized it.

After high school I went to a top 20 U.S. public college and majored in business. Another statist indoctrination program, but I just always felt like a lot of what I was being taught was BS.

I was reading guys like Noam Chomsky, Michael Parentti and Chris hedges. I think learning about a more realistic version of US history from people outside the system made me realize how insanely fucked up governments really were. Fully subverted the temptation to be a statist cuck. Still hadn’t been introduced to anarchism, Austrian Econ or Bitcoin though.

Years later after living and practicing Agorism and a lot of tenets of anarchism without ever having been formally introduced to the ideas, I found Bitcoin. From there everything coalesced.

I agree MAHDOOD. There is a strong and systematic effort (from birth) to create compliant NPCs who won’t resist their subjugation. It works quite well… and it happens in almost every country I’m sure.

I see some of these shithole incorporated “cities” in the U.S. around where I live and I just die laughing to myself about how people are loyal to that dumb little made up jurisdiction. It’s like 3 Starbucks, one of each of the big 8 fast food joints, a few chain grocery stores, a handful of corporate banks, 9 chain gas stations, some cops, some tweakers, and strips malls full of floundering small businesses. Of course a planet fitness (that I go to). It’s absolutely insane to have an allegiance to that kind of place.

I think some people cannot wrap their heads around a world without interventions to their perceived problems.

After groking how much central planning and interventions destroy markets and societies I’ve noticed most people will complain about whatever issue they’re fixated on then quickly follow it up with some form of “they should do x to fix it”.

It’s completely ingrained in people (at least who I know) that there is a quick top down solution for every problem.
