 Everyone is sharing the worldcoin video, but I won't. 

Look. Not everyone is going to make it. The point made by 1984 is the same point made by Ordinary Men: most people will love the regime. Most people will do anything to comply, to not stick out, to do what everyone else does—no matter how ridiculous. 

The solution is deceivingly simple: don't try to change other people. Focus on yourself and how you spend your time.

Opt out. Don't feed the beast. Concentrate your time, energy, and attention on the alternatives represented by #bitcoin and #nostr. Become as resilient as you can. Become un-ruggable. Ignore the noise.  
 Yeah I get that it’s stupid that it all came back, but that thing is the dumbest project imaginable. As much as I won’t to rag on how stupid it is, I am not as concerned as a lot of people seem to be. 
 Never underestimate the power of stupid...

 Has there been a recent thing? 
 Simple and effective! GG :) 
 💯 
 Yes 🙌 
 But I have to say giving people who never had bitcoin 5 Dollar in Sats does trumendous help to show people at least the door. And if they make a nostr account i will gibe them another 5 Dollar in Sats. 
 100% agree, not everyone is going to make it. 80% of people cannot be helped as you wrote, however while we should be resilient, we should try to connect & awaken the remaining 20%.

 Oh crap, you got my retina scan!!!
Do I even get a free world coin for it? 
 No 😂 
 Esau sold his soul for a bowl of stew. People will gladly give up their future for $40 of fake money now. We don't change. It's good at least that not everyone is for sale. I already know who I belong to, sand it's not world coin.
