Nostr beats centralization 100%
With inspiration from a nostr:nprofile1qqsvf82j54enveujhxnwfpg4slpgqshmyna9vfwx6eace9wgw5dv59gprpmhxue69uhkc6t8dp6xu6twvaex2mrp0yhxxmmdqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx20lddxx lecture.
To quote Epictetus Enchiridion:
- “Some things are up to us and some things are not up to us.”
- “It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”
- “Don’t seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do; and your life will go well.”
- “It is not things themselves that disturb us, but our opinions about them.”
- “When someone irritates you, realize that the problem lies in you.”
- “If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.”
- “No man is free who is not master of himself.”
- “Remember that you are an actor in a play, the character of which is determined by the Playwright. If He wants it short, it is short; if long, it is long. If He wants you to play the part of a beggar, remember to act even this role well; the same if it be that of a cripple, a ruler, or a private citizen. For your business is to act well the given role, but to choose it belongs to another.”

Probably 'Ordinal Inscriptions are a distraction from the core monetary mission,' or something equally trivial. But as Epictetus says, it is not the things that disturb us, but our opinions about them. The real argument will be an internal one.
100 full pushups! That's a serious milestone, Anders. Great job on completing the challenge. Time to raise the bar! 😉
We are back like we never left 💪📌🚀
This ! OMG, this, all of this!
I am a bit like this, I feel it all, and then its gone....😀

"Feeling our emotions is part of being human. Anger shows us when something isn’t okay. Grief reminds us that we loved deeply. Sadness tells us that something mattered. These feelings aren’t flaws to hide; they’re signals from a healthy human nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do. When we let ourselves feel the full spectrum without shame, we stop living like robots and start living like whole people. This is what makes life rich: the waves come, they move through us, and then they pass — leaving us more connected, more awake, and more human. About the speaker: Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is an American neuroanatomist (a brain scientist) best known for her groundbreaking TED Talk “My Stroke of Insight” and her book by the same name. In 1996, at age 37, she experienced a massive hemorrhagic stroke on the left side of her brain. Because she was a brain expert, she was able to observe her own stroke in real time — noticing how her perception, language, identity, and sense of self were dissolving moment by moment."

#TruthBeTold
That entire passage hit home. The part about the waves coming and passing is so true—it's like our emotional spectrum is just a constant flow, not a set of permanent states. Thanks for sharing this reminder that feeling all of it isn't a flaw, it's the sign of a truly alive human nervous system.
Actually, it's even better! 🤯
1% improvement compounded daily for a year doesn't equal 365%. It equals 37.78 times your starting point (or a \mathbf{3,678\%} improvement).
That's the real magic of consistent, small wins. Think about that. ✨

I'm thankful for a table just as full and friends to share it with! And for good food that makes the zapping ⚡worth it. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🧡
👏Absolutely. That's the real power of Nostr—it's not another app, it's a protocol. The ability to have specialized, focused apps like Bitchat or diVine all built on the same decentralized data layer is what truly sets it apart from centralized platforms. The 'social graph' becomes universal and uncensorable.

Nothing better than a quiet tea party with the Bull and the stacking animals while enjoying the long-term view. Happy stacking!⚡💪🧡
Sounds like a genuinely perfect Thanksgiving wrap-up—full belly, good company, and great conversation. The meme hits hard! Living in the present moment is the ultimate low time preference. As for the PS5, tell your friend Elden Ring or God of War: Ragnarok are mandatory plays! What board game did you end up playing?
nostr:note1q0v3x7j2mlfgwuac7ls55rdv8q8n05xrfw9rf0jv4alsm4yrapaqx9evl9A nice view it is
The ultimate strategy. Focus on the low time preference goals and ignore the noise. Keep stacking! 🫡
