a pristine example of financial nihilism
nostr seems like an example of both your perspectives. It is allowing participation in discussion (and maybe eventually representation) for anyone, and it is (in an admittedly small scale way) burning down the systems of narrative control
there can’t be a consensus narrative when things like nostr exist. we have the potential for narrative anarchy here.
with full faith and knowledge of said freedom godspeed
don’t look up clive de carle and definitely don’t look into his “secret health club” or u might start to forgo the filters
Extreme kayaking down a waterfall

A Taoist story tells of an old man who accidentally fell into the river rapids leading to a high and dangerous waterfall.
Onlookers feared for his life.
Miraculously, he came out alive and unharmed downstream at the bottom of the falls.
People asked him how he managed to survive.
“I accommodated myself to the water, not the water to me. Without thinking, I allowed myself to be shaped by it. Plunging into the swirl, I came out with the swirl. This is
how I survived.”

My uncle once sailed a small boat under the anchor cable of a navy ship in San Diego. He lost the privilege of sailing there ever again, but somehow that was the extent of the consequence (for which I’m grateful).
yeah it’s a vestigial throwback for sure
all about the organization not the individual probably
Honestly a great conversation about this moment in time, this imminent fourth turning, this bit when the past catches up to the present, this great ravine, or whatever ultimately inconsequential label one wants to give it https://fountain.fm/episode/bCuXon6KjVz8AaipM45y
bad #jokes
but I wonder, can they share credit? 
I want to grow them but I haven’t looked into it. I should look into it.
maybe they’ll have to address their fiery death trap situation

I had a chance to listen and I’ll definitely tune in to this in future.
I grew up working agriculture jobs as a kid and teenager. My first actual job was picking strawberries. I was not great at it. I think I made about $1.64 per hour as a 12 y.o. Later I worked in orchards, picking a little but mostly planting and grafting.
Much later I worked at a wholesale and retail nursery that grew and sold fruit tree stock, herbs, berries, roses, rhododendrons and other landscaping plants. This was the most peaceful and enjoyable job I’ve ever had, but it was minimum wage and tough to make a go of it. I had to pay off debt and such so left for better paying jobs.
My extended family includes orchardists and farmers (apples, pears, peppers, alphalpha, hay).
I’m curious to check in with them all at the next family reunion, how things are looking with the political and possible technological shakeups.
Anyway, the topics you cover are interesting to me. Looking forward to hearing future conversations.
