In the same way that the high priests of Keynesian economics aim for a 2% inflation rate
Is there a deflation rate that is optimal?
(Assuming 2% inflation is actually optimal, which I would strongly argue it might not be… forgive me not a great question! 😂)
“Interoperability” is a word the likes of Zuck & Elon are going to shadowban the shit out of
“Nostr is an echo chamber”
Was a reason someone gave not to look into it recently
They had just sold an email newsletter list they built via Twitter
What’s the best way to help this kind of creator take another look at Nostr?
nostr:npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt spitting absolute fire on this Nostrovia podcast with nostr:npub1mygerccwqpzyh9pvp6pv44rskv40zutkfs38t0hqhkvnwlhagp6s3psn5p (link to the full podcast episode at the end of the post). This part of the conversation was such gold that I made it into a separate clip: https://m.primal.net/LJjL.mp4
This part of the conversation is about the book Second Realm: https://libertyunderattack.com/product/second-realm-book-on-strategy/ (you can download and listen to it for free)
My highlights from the conversation in text:
[Gsovereignty]
...We can also orange-pill the world by hiring everyone...
[Max]
Yeah, cause ultimately free people are productive people and productive people want to build stuff...
Not just do we need to produce services and goods in the 2nd realm that cannot be acquired in the 1st realm, but likewise there is a demand in the 2nd realm that cannot be provided or satisfied in the 1st realm... and so then 1st realm agents will migrate into the 2nd realm in order to produce those goods and services for 2nd realm inhabitants.
[Gsovereignty]
I think I will take that hint and start referring to the bitcoin world as the 2nd realm
[Max]
Yeah it's a perfect fit...
... (Second Realm) It's a book on strategy, how to build a productive parallel society that gets humanity through this dark time of parasitism. We need to have people continuously producing, DESPITE the enormous amount of theft that is going on, and we need to build tools and strategies that make being productive cheaper.
There is a gigantic demand in this area, and therefore huge opportunities for value creation and profit.
So, this is ultimately I think what is going for us, like back during the Soviet regime: you had the Soviet economy, centrally planned and everything going to shit and rotting and no value being created at all, and you had the much more liberal western societies with more free market producing enormous amounts of incredible things.
You just see the two markets and centrally planned slavery societies always underperform property-rights based freedom societies, like always has, always been, will always be... just because of economic reality.
So in the long run we will see exactly the same thing happening again: the first realm, centrally managed, fiat-controlled and slave/theft based system is going to dwindle and further decrease in capital.
It will devour itself more and more, and as it is dying it will have to devour itself even at a faster rate, just to keep up. While simultaneously the free world will produce things that we cannot even yet imagine, at a scale we cannot even fathom...
...and that will continue to increase, as we continue to write the code that decreases the cost for doing so, and we're not stopping to write the code!

Will have a listen for sure
👍
Love it. “Freedom” is a feeling. No doubt about that. The more we master that, the more free we are in a way
Yeah the scheduling side of things is very poor currently
But like yourself, I like that it forces one to innovate
And what’s the pint of a schedule if there is no algo to satisfy?
Timezone is one thing. Make sure online for when you know someone you want to contact will be
But surely what Nostr shows is quality is more important than quantity
One needs to be more comfortable with why they’re even posting online at all
🙏🏻
It’s complicated that’s for sure!
I guess it depends on one’s definition of confidence, and what that means in daily life
2 under-rated questions one should ask more often:
1 - am I wrong?
2 - are we the bad guys?
So true. B-grade players running amock
Makes me think of the obese government health officials sermonising on what is healthy…
Hell yeah. GM to that vibe!
I’ve struggled with the common “compare & despair” trait many times before
What a spiritual journey this is proving to be
Haha. I’d not thought of that
What the world might look like if that weren’t true?
Something I have to get better at!
Having true confidence in yourself is one of the hardest things
Let’s get building 💪🏻

Thanks for the suggestions. There’s a number of ways around I know
Interestingly this transaction was on behalf of my super (Australian pension equivalent), so only a handful of approved exchanges and banks can be used
New technologies open up new markets
Which from the outset are not obvious
But action leads to clarity! Nice work 👏

Keep it up Joe. Great work
Need a bit of this myself as well
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Crucial! I am working on a new “deep work” schedule, that will better batch my time up
Ironically it will give me more freedom once complete
The biggest part of it will be a new “idea garage” that will help creativity management
