 Hard to accept mortality when the underlying system we exist in is based on theft. High time preference behavior permeates all things. Coming to terms with our finite lifespans is low time preference.

One of the biggest things Bitcoin does is reduce our fears around our short term survival. It allows us to extend our time horizons.

Once we have that space, it allows us to see what an insidious trap fiat is. We get to examine our other fears & let them go too.

The fear & denial of our own mortality is a huge one to resolve. It inhibits & influences so much of our action. For your safety!

Know that you are pure consciousness & not a bag of rotting meat & bones.

🧡🤙
