Read just the first chapter of John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" (free via Project Gutenberg etc) and tell me that he didn't have his finger precisely on the pulse — in the 1850s — of the root cause of the authoritarian war for majoritarian supremacy that we're witnessing today. Censorship, the compelled worship of an ever-shifting orthodoxy, the construction and desecration of idols before the temple of consensus— it's all the same thing, arising from the same source, and awaiting a similar solution. In times of trouble, we should look more to our history.

Read your Mill, brothers.


Eric Voskuil's Cryptoeconomics is great too

https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-system/wiki/Cryptoeconomics


He (and Harriot) were brilliant.


History always repeats itself.


Will do


On to read list. Thanks


JSM in his autobiography admitted that Harriet (his 2nd wife) was the joint author of most of the books and articles published under his name.


And sisters 😉


I will take a look


And sisters!


Thank you kindly 🫂


Nice! Lead us!!!!!

Wise man #snowden …don’t wanna get on the wrong side of #themarie 🤣🌅


Someone should write a history book that rhymes.


welcome back


fucking glorious isn't it?


Fantastic read. Highly recommend to anyone. The authoritarian rule was worse and more violent back then I believe, compared to now. However now, they have better and easier tools to rule over their 'people'.


On it 😂


Respect 🫡


Heterodox Academy put out an illustrated edition called “All Minus One” that covers the main points in two editions. They have links to pdfs of both here:

Will people ever stop sucking? 🥲🫶😂


tyranny of the majority


Another great one from 1850 is "The Law" by Bastiat


don't stop baby, don't stop !  : )


I don't care if u read abt liberty from texts from antiquity.

(Dang, I am acing this ai thang)😎


eric are scammer.. watch out


a pillar of the western canon!


I see it’s in “free” audiobook on Spotify if you’re premium


mill's “on liberty” was shaped by his wife
her ideas influenced mill’s advocacy of women’s rights
she was a great defender of women’s rights

I love his dedication to her 🥹


this is another masterpiece

a vision for the building blocks of equality on the grandest human scale

To avoid political debate, the key is to turn the discussion to fundamental human needs. These needs include freedom and privacy, this can be demonstrated scientifically. Also, talking about needs takes us straight to the point of the matter: human beings and the provision of what we need to thrive.


Ok I’ll never stop sucking, true 😅


Dude... Seems like hiding with Putin isn't the best strategy, when talking about authoritarian regimes. You made a fuzz about global surveillance, but went to the king of it.
Be a man, face consequences and fight for the freedom. Right now seems like Putin paid you to made it. Coward.


Wish I could dislike you comment.


“Be a man” says the troll on the internet.

That's funny.

You probably think Ukraine is fighting for freedom too. lol


How


could nostr be a viable option for russian opposition to use as well?


Interested in what the universally accepted #LibTribal Visa looks like tho....
Probably glitter and unicorns?🙄


In my teenager period I actually enjoyed a lot of downloading free e-books from Gutenberg.org in a rural China village. Event most of them are old but classic books


good girl !  : )


Dude.. the US govt cancelled his passport while in Russia en route to South America. The only reason he is in Russia is because of the US govt.


Take the Mill Pill, anon.


Must be company wide. Been doing that shit here full time now for almost a year.


Cross kicking Wal-Mart employees?!?!


Yup. Satisfies.

lol


Glad we cleared that up. I was confused for .005 seconds.


I guess you understand that he can't be in Russia without a passport and a visa? There are also extradition agreements.


what are they fighting for?


seems like i xaused cognitive disturbance in your head.
says the troll with a cognitive insufficiency. :D


If the sensorship it is a problem, why help the conflits?


Trolls keep trolling 🤡


what's up Snowden


He has no Visa you moron
He cant go anywhere unless Executive Branch intervenes with an EO
God people on social platforms are fucking thick in the head and not the good one
The ONLY WAY to get Snowden ANYWHERE worldwide is for American CITIZENS to elect #Kennedy24 as USA president bc he will not only restore his full status but will pardon anything anyone in USA govt tries to block him with.
BTC cant solve Assange, Snoden or countless others.
Kennedy can


just search libbitcoin and weak random number generator..

Tweet from @evoskuil:

"A secure PRNG is not secure without a truly random seed. Software cannot produce randomness, and hardware cannot be trusted to do so - unless maybe you build it yourself.

The true con is getting people to trust platform seeding. There is a reason people use dice rolls."

Documentation and code clearly stated devs should provide an external source of entropy. The wallet developers presumably did not read the documentation and implemented anyway.

I fail to see the issue.


Clown


What is Assange achieving by dying in max security prison over what he could have achieved if free to act and speak in any country?


He didn't choose to be in prison, and once in there, it's difficult to get out.


Assange is not in Russia, you must be confusing him with Snowden. All of the heroes who fight for freedom are not the same person.

Agreed, I am certainly not blaming Assange for the perversion of justice inflicted on him.

What I said was in response to the moronic suggestion that Snowden should surrender himself to US 'justice'.

Das ist wohl nicht etwas, was Sie ihm vorzuwerfen brauchen, nachdem ihm kein europäisches Land Asyl gewährte, was wirklich eine GROSSE SCHANDE ist!
Er war auf dem Weg nach Südamerika und konnte nicht weiter, weil die USA seinen Pass für ungültig erklärt haben. Er saß über Wochen im Transit fest.
Hätten die Russen ihn dort bis heute etwa sitzen lassen sollen?

John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty".

Seminal work, and one which this lawyer, still leans on daily.   It's the book I most gift; usually 18th or 21st birthdays. #philosophy  #law  #jurisprudence
