This note is not directed at anyone in particular. More of a statement about the current state of things.

We’ve forsaken our communities for idols. We have faith in people we do not know, and ignore the ones we do. We look for heroes through screens, instead of our eyes.

The billionaires are not on my team. The men behind microphones “preaching” are not either. I’ve got myself, my family, and few hard hitting men and women that have shown up. That’s it.

We will write our own story.


You made one bet. You got it right. It could’ve gone the other way. Now you want me to believe you’re hard as fuck.

My cousin had two kids, from two different men. Her dad died when she was 14, and her mom was addicted to hard drugs, and raised her out of a motel.

She went back to school with her babies, became an emergemcy nurse and works in a town of about 3000 Reds and Rednecks.

She’s hard as fuck.

I know I’m soft. It’s easier.

You’re a child, play acting.


Dusty tomatoe!


Smoke and mirrors….tomorrow I am toad

These are not my conclusions. These are the conclusions of others, and the current conversation about Saylor. I thought you were asking what happened?


Oh, I’m not saying it’s not possible.

I’m just watching the conversation and summarizing what I’ve read 😂.


Shit forgot - Saylor is CIA cause their office is close to his.


Saylor accused of throttling open source development
Saylor manipulating ETFs
Saylor is a statist
Saylor doesn’t want Bitcoin to be a currency
Saylor is a coke head

Seems like this is the progression of the evening’s events.

I love nostr.


Spread uncorroborated information, to make others look bad, and thereby make myself look good to further a cause I believe in, reinforce my “brand”, and sustain my life.

I think we are all capable of this and we all do it, all the time. We are human.

Don’t let your heroes surprise you, whilst hiding behind a veil of altruism.

We all shit from the same hole, Sats. We are all in this together. In the end, it will be us small-fry plebs that will make all the difference.


Is he?


Exactly, and in Sweden GPs are paid more than specialists because it is much more difficult to decide when/or when not to perform a procedure. Also, convincing a patient to change their lifestyles/and or take medications so that they don’t get sicker and cost the system more money down the road is vital. In my mind, all physicians are important, but gps are the linchpin. Here in Canada they aren’t paid the most, but do well comparatively, especially if they work rurally and are involved in complex care.


Yeah me too, not directed at you Joe. 🤙


And they are 💯 not just pill pushers (I’m not in the states so I can’t relate to them there)


In some countries, such as Sweden, primary care physicians are seen as the most vital physicians in the healthcare system. They are the gatekeepers and are the ones involved in preventative care. They are generalists and jacks of all trades. They don’t just study one part of the body. They also have to understand how to interact with all kinds of people, and most importantly when to treat someone and what to investigate. The shitty ones order everything and ship their patients off to specialists. The good ones will tell you what you don’t need and come with a plan to prevent you from getting worst, and when they see something that worries them, then they’ll ship you off.

Fuck AI, there’s no replacing a primary care physician.


Same with me, and I played a little lacrosse too. Just couldn’t get into soccer. I tried. I need to see bodies on the court.

BRAZIL IS ON THE BRINK

I’m reporting to you from Brazil, where a dramatic series of events are underway.

At 5:52 pm Eastern Time, today, April 6, 2024, X corporation, formerly known as Twitter, announced that a Brazilian court had forced it to “block certain popular accounts in Brazil.”

Then, less than one hour later, the owner of X,
@ElonMusk
 announced that X would defy the court’s order, and lift all restrictions.

“As a result,” said Musk, “we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit.”

At any moment, Brazil’s Supreme Court could shut off all access to X/Twitter for the people of Brazil.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Brazil is on the brink of dictatorship at the hands of a totalitarian Supreme Court Justice named Alexandre de Moraes.

President Lula da Silva is participating in the push toward totalitarianism. Since taking office, Lula has massively increased government funding of the mainstream news media, most of which are encouraging increased censorship.

What Lula and de Moraes are doing is an outrageous violation of Brazil’s constitution and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

At this moment, Brazil is not yet a dictatorship. It still has elections and the Brazilian people have other means at their disposal to confront authoritarianism.

But the Federal Supreme Court and the Superior Electoral Court are directly interfere in those elections through censorship.

Three days ago I published the Twitter Files for Brazil. They show that Moraes has violated the Brazilian Constitution. Moraes illegally demanded that Twitter reveal private information about Twitter users who used hashtags he considered inappropriate. He demanded access to Twitter's internal data, violating the platform's policy. He censored, on his own initiative and without any respect for due process, posts on Twitter by parliamentarians from the Brazilian Congress. And Moraes tried to turn Twitter's content moderation policies into a weapon against supporters of then-president Jair Bolsonaro.

I say this as an independent and non-partisan journalist. I'm not a fan of either Bolsonaro or Trump. My political views are very moderate. But I know censorship when I see it.

The Twitter Files also revealed that Google, Facebook, Uber, WhatsApp and Instagram betrayed the people of Brazil. If such evidence is proven, the executives of these companies behaved like cowards: they provided the Brazilian government with personal registration data and telephone numbers without a court order and, therefore, violating the law.
When Twitter refused to provide Brazilian authorities with private user information, including direct messages, the government attempted to sue Twitter's top Brazilian lawyer.

When I lived in Brazil in 1992, I was very left-wing. At the time, Lula and the PT's slogans were “Without fear of being happy”.

In recent days, I have spoken to dozens of Brazilians, including professors, journalists and respected lawyers. Everyone tells me they are shocked by what is happening. They told me that they are afraid to speak their mind and that the Lula government is complicit in creating this climate of fear.

Brazil belongs to the Brazilians. It is not my country. As such, there are limits to what I am capable of doing.

But I can say things that many Brazilians do not feel safe saying: Alexandre de Moraes is a tyrant. And the only way to deal with tyrants is to confront them. It is up to Brazil’s senators to confront the tyrant. And it is up to the people of Brazil to demand that their senators do so.


Ew 😂


Most countries have a point system, and if you and your spouse are professionals, and are in high demand professions, you don’t have to pay anythjng.


It’s a lot cheaper if you marry into one 😜


And millions of people are lining up from around the world to pay it. For a reason.


But I think you’re missing my point. Why would someone who could get a passport elsewhere choose to get one from El Salvador?

Giving away a passport to attract people who can get a passport from any other country doesn’t matter.

They are still years away from attracting those individuals, who are willing to pay millions in investment to raise their families, start their businesses, and to build their homes elsewhere.


Good night


Dan!


Good morning Semi


If you want a place to hodl hard, there many of those…..Uncle Sam follows you everywhere though…..


The opportunity costs of moving to a more desirable country.


My point was more to the fact that he has to offer something for free. Highly skilled individuals have the opportunity to go anywhere in the world.

Most desirable places make individuals buy property, start a business, or invest a certain dollar amount to gain access to a passport. And people are more than willing to pay these “prices” to have a passport from these areas.

One passport from a Eurozone member gives you access to a boatload of countries, free education for your kids, stability, rule of law etc.

It’s early, and yes he’s making changes, but giving away passports doesn’t seem like a “good” thing to me.


That’s what she said


Yes I agree. It will take time and it’s not fair to judge his methods at this point.

Interesting fact, if a woman has four kids in Hungary, she’s exempt from income taxes for life.q

Have your wife as your moa and clinic manager, kids come into clinic for lunch with dad, see you with your patients……it’s a life man.


Ah, that’s awesome. I didn’t know you still had generalists in the states. I thought it was all specialists, or mostly specialists.


Yeah, I said it without any knowledge of what kind of specialist you are 😂


Ah, thanks. We’ve spent some time around people, eh? With that, comes wisdom.


That sounds like a plan! Overheads a killer though…..


You going on a mission soon?


Yeah, I don’t think people (the ignorant and uninitiated) can separate the physicians  from the CEOs and admin staff that can sometimes have divergent goals.

There are lot of easier ways to make a lot of money than being a doctor. 99% of the ones I’ve met could’ve been successful in any field, and the reasons they became physicians was to help people. If you don’t have that mindset, being a doctor would be fucking miserable.

It’s the same with teachers. If you don’t want to help kids, or are only doing it for the time off, there’s nowhere to hide. And trust me, there are some who I’m like, do you even like kids?


Okay, fine 😤


Ps congrats on finishing again and that 4.0!

Are costs and lack of insurance a thing that would stop a patient?

There’s a serious lack of trust that permeates through our culture at the moment.

Many are probably thinking you are recommending the most expensive, highest yielding treatment to satisfy the administrative trolls that run your hospital.

Here in Canada, people usually only refuse life saving treatment for religious, ideological, or trust issues.

Awesome!


If you ever have the chance to view an eclipse, you’d do well to take a tip from the 1963 fifth grade class at the Emerson School in Maywood, Illinois. Wielding cardboard boxes and knives that today would surely get a kid suspended, the students demonstrated for LIFE’s readers how to safely look at an eclipse.

During the solar eclipse of 1960, hundreds of people had suffered permanent eye damage from looking directly at the sun. With help from the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, Emerson students avoided the same fate by building Sunscopes, pinhole camera-like contraptions that indirectly project an image of the sun. The magazine offered instructions for those wanting to replicate the project at home:

To build your own, get a carton and cut a hole in one side, big enough to poke your head through. Paste white paper on the inside surface that you will be facing. Then punch a pinhole into the opposite side, high enough so that the little shaft of light will miss your head. For a sharper image you can make a better pinhole by cutting a one inch square hole in the carton, taping a piece of aluminum foil over this hole and then making the pinhole in the foil. Finally, tape the box shut and cover all light leaks with black tape.

A final word to the wise from LIFE: “Don’t forget to come out for fresh air.”


So it’s like hablas, on that I can publish long form articles, but I can also highlight and link to other sites/long form articles. Also, writers can have subscribers etc.?

Am I understanding it correctly?


Event of kind 30023 can be opened with this application: highlighter


If only…..a lesson about responsibility and safety, a lesson about constructing proper safety equipment, a few more lessons about why a solar eclipse happens, a lesson afterwards about everything we have learned through the process…..imagine, if you will, a proper immersive education.

Oh but don’t worry, we will be able to do the same thing with Apples new Vision Pro, simulate the experience, and none of the kids will go blind!


Safetyism 🤣


There are so many things wrong with this.

And school boards wonder why parents are fed up?


1960s children preparing to safely view the solar eclipse at schools.

Now, in Canada, we are keeping students inside, dismissing them early so the schools aren’t “liable”, and forbidding them to safely view a natural phenomenon. https://image.nostr.build/e120baf66228a8440ddfc7f1b06aeefa5f417b5a6323dd6e9dcdc5734bb31ea9.jpg

I just spent a little time reading some of my old notes/conversations from over a year ago. I highly recommend it.

I could feel the excitement and hope in every conversation. I could sense the pure joy of finding an outlet for my thoughts and the new feelings of “belonging”, that I had never felt on the internet before. Blowing up threads with new found friends, having a laugh, taking ourselves too seriously, and then not seriously enough.

Nostr is still that place, but as time has moved forward and Ive become used to something, I think I have taken for granted just how special the people and the protocol are.

Friends, it’s been a trip, and that’s the only thing I want out of life.

But did you stay humble?

And you didn’t even have to fund the client to do it!


That would be helpful. Over the past year and half I’ve read many notes about how excellent it is, and game changing, but I’m still not exactly sure why? I’ve “highlighted” a few paragraphs from a few articles to try and figure it out but that’s as far as I’ve made it.

Ah, it’s an old story.

Those hills have stories, but you know.


You are 😂


And I’m left wondering why I’m reading it 😂


I think it’s a little more than that, and yes I do believe stupidity is often the best explanation for the choices made by those in power.

I think it’s a part of the move to replace workers with kiosks/robots and instigate a Universal Basic Income, doled out in cbdc form.

Take away a person’s source of subsidence, make them dependent on handouts, and then control them. It worked with the savages in the early 19th century. It was just a little more brazen back then.


I still have no idea what it does or what it’s for? 😂 I’ve tried so many times to figure it out. Maybe, I’ll give it another go!

Watch how fast that massive gas field in front of Gaza gets developed.

And this, stalled for now, due to those pesky Palestinians.

“The Israel-Hamas war has halted progress on what’s known as the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor — a project touted last year by Washington and key allies that envisages building new rail links across the Arabian peninsula. As Houthi attacks disrupt Red Sea shipping and turmoil spreads across the region, IMEC is effectively on ice.
That’s a setback for US strategy, because the plan served multiple purposes – to counter China’s Belt and Road infrastructure program, build influence in the so-called “Global South,” and speed up the hoped-for rapprochement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
“This is a project that made Iran, China, Russia, even Turkey nervous,” said Romana Vlahutin, the former European Union special envoy for connectivity who’s now a distinguished fellow at the German Marshall Fund. “Maybe that is the best proof of its strategic importance.”

In general terms, the “left” is skeptical of big corporations. And on the right, they are skeptical of big government.

So, when is everyone going to realize that big corporations control big government and we are all on the same team.

Daily Roman History:

In his youth Julius Caesar was taken prisoner by pirates while traveling around Greece. Far from being concerned for his current situation, Caesar treated it like any other vacation, composing songs about his captors, hosting poetry nights, and generally getting along quite well with them. When he heard they were requesting 20 gold talents for his ransom he was insulted and demanded they ask for at least 50. All the while he would say that when he was free he'd come back and kill them all, which the pirates naturally thought was a joke. But after being freed that is just what Caesar did, killing or selling his ex-captors into slavery.

*full control


It’s been brought up all the time for the last year. People like to blame the lack of adoption on bitcoiners. I haven’t met many people outside of Bitcoin who know, or give shit about decentralization.

One reason there is a lack of adoption is because not enough people care about owning their data, having no control over the data, and being uncensorable. 🤷♂

Bitcoiners are extremely diverse, but the most important thing for a lot of them is the freedom and the ability to transact in ideas and monetarily, without any mediation, or censorship. We/they care more deeply about this than most of the general public and that is what brought them/me here.

Every network has its base and if the network adds value over time, it can bring in other people.

Maybe, the world will never care about privacy/censorship online ever again, but that’s a proposition I will fight tooth and nail over. But I also think if this happens, then there’s no point for nostr or any alternative, because you will never get growth in your user base unless you widdle away everything that made nostr different, until it is unrecognizable from the things you found abhorrent in the first place.

Bitcoiners give a shit about censorship, when most of the world doesn’t. Either the rest starts to care, or we’re fucked anyway.


How’s your day been?


It has been, thanks!


Yesterday, they held our hands and kissed our cheeks. https://image.nostr.build/6e6cdfe06bb89d5659a8164ee90eb4af9ae485de16b18abc0bebf826f16ead7d.jpg


Nostr doesn’t have any chance of survival without users, and as of right, nostr is the only hope I have for the internet.


Number up = wealth for bitcoiners up = political influence up

There’s some nuance in there for most people.


That, and they won’t rob them during their younger years, hopefully, because they are educated and gainfully employed 😂


It’s not, if you want an educated population that is productive and then pays for your DINK friends when they are old and decrepit. Our kids will pay far more taxes and will contribute far more to society, than your childless friends. I’ve got four future earners I’m contributing to the betterment and future of Canada. If your friends opt out, then I guess I get to too. Right? By your reasoning, my kids won’t contribute to their healthcare right?


Because they don’t benefit from an educated community?


Ice waters it down…..destroys the entire experience.


Tried to book a desirable campsite and my computer crashed…..damn bugs!


It’s tiresome

Looks about right


I think you may have. It’s Marie’s fault 😂


😂 thanks!


😂 damn never thought about it that way…..


•garbage


My first was found in a garage can at the park. I’ve never peddled faster than I did that day.


All this to say that some men are regarded….ffs Marie give me back my 30 minutes!!! 😂😂


Good night Dawn


There’s always going to some riff raff around. All my make friends don’t  think like this. Don’t paint us all with a fools brush.


No worries. I’ll look one up!


😂😂 please tell me in the morning what you dreamt of, so I can plan my day


Whoa that looks good! Recipe?


😂 you too!


Good night


If I were with a woman and another man and I got sexually aroused by that man, then I would consider that to be “gay”.


From my point of view (straight male), two women together is gay, by definition. Straight men enjoy watching/participating with women, in all scenarios, even with other men (with no touching of male bits).

I have no interest, and have no part of me that is sexually aroused by other men, but I am not afraid to show other men affection, by hugging dancing touching etc. and also enjoy the company of gay men, because the ones I’ve known are an absolute blast to be around.


But that’s what the world is. It’s not some idyllic paradise where everything is good all the time. And we can be downtrodden, angry, and pessimistic. Not all the time, but it’s okay to share those stories. It makes us connect and realize we aren’t the only ones going through it.

You are far from failing and definitely are not someone who is constantly sharing “bad” vibes.

I get what you’re saying if you’re talking about doom algorithms and doom scrolling, but we/you/nostr is nowhere near that.


There’s no other way to do it. 🤝


I’d prefer it if you gave us all your vibes. Being positive all the time is boring. We need more humans being human, not less.


Yeah, I’m not clear what you’re asking?


I’ve also had dreams about other men, and my wife’s had dreams about her brothers😂. Doesn’t mean I’m gay or that my wife craves incest. I’ve never been sexually aroused by another man, honestly. I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking?


What’s up?


We just don’t have them. I’ve never had sexual thoughts about another man. Doesn’t mean I don’t remember wrestling around with my male cousins and brothers and getting an erection, but at that age I would get an erection from walking down the street in sweat pants.


Classic!


😂 And train itineraries?


😂 they’re everywhere!
…..it would be💭


Okay okay. I’ll let it be 😂🫂


I fell like that car is meant to be driven in the desert….it would be cool to have a different vehicle for different sections…..


Don’t let those things stop you….I got you to climb a tree once….


For some of it!


Tomorrow is someday


A year would be ideal……..


I’d take 6 months minimum to do it right.


It’s one of my best memories from my childhood. Little sleeper compartment, across the prairies and through the Rockies to the coast, with my brother and grandma.


Prudhoe Bay Alaska down to the tip of Argentina in Ushuaia

I’d do the Dempster highway again, while I was up north. One of our best trips.


Drive the Pan American Highway, is one that comes to mind.


She’s 27. Would you want your father making your decisions for you when you’re 27?

I’m not saying I agree with the MAID program, I just think that many politicians and pundits use it to paint a very bleak picture of what it’s truly like in Canada, and score cheap political points against their adversaries. Very uncouth in my estimation.

I’m also not a physician, psychologist, or a person with a chronic disease that causes me pain every day. And yes, I agree with you that mental illness should not qualify for the program.

It’s a very nuanced and difficult subject to discuss, from the outside, and many journalists don’t give it the depth it deserves. From my very unqualified point of view.


Brutal


Nah


I think I've shared this before but this is a better picture 😊 https://image.nostr.build/981a30d495fa7ba77f37d85e4633e427bfa17049d352a6c6d5dc61ccdeb0d121.jpg

Dementia has finally set in


I agree 🤝


It’s a good one….well worth your time


😂😂 how about both!


I’m not here to validate anyone’s feelings. I’m here to learn, listen, and maybe find a few good people that I can count on if the world turns to absolute shit.

I just want to laugh, have some fun, and learn about other people and what they may be going through in other parts of the world. I am acutely aware of the value of stories, and the freedom to tell them to the world.🤷♂ maybe others are here for other reasons. I hope they find what they are looking for.


Yeah, I guess so. You’ve thought this one through. I don’t know enough about it. I’m bowing out, but it’s not because you have offended me in anyway, it’s that I think that the pickleballsr has been marginalized and I like to fight for all margjnalozed people, because I don’t have anyone in my life to fight for, so I latch my purpose onto others struggles, and therefore I don’t think I should be talking for or against the pickle ballers. I just know they hey deserve the same considerations as all marginalized people and groups that have been wrongly and unjustifiably subjugated to the patriarchy of white maleness and early onset baldness.


They didn’t leave. We left them.


With the caveat that it’s great for seniors that can’t play tennis anymore. But a pro sport? Come on!


But I agree with your sentiment, but these sites are hyperbolic and over exaggerate things to feed their base.


Wrong.


Yes, with the caveat that it’s extremely difficult and there are many steps to undertake before one can get approved for euthanasia.

It’s not like we are up here putting everyone to sleep.


And I always appreciate the dawn, for it reminds me that the future is full of light.


We do 😂


I was desperate. It was either the magpie or a Canada goose.


Serves me right for listening to a magpie.

There’s so much you can do in Coracke to curate the feed you want. I think a lot of new users aren’t even aware it exists.


Coracle already filters by WoT. We just need all major clients to have this option and maybe add it to onboarding

Yeah, it’s in settings. Works well.


Yeah, teach kids how to think, not what to think. If a rule doesn’t make sense to you, then don’t follow it. I don’t think that’s being an asshole at all.


Mine too. We’ve chosen to make it harder for ourselves as parents, on purpose. Hopefully it sets them up for success as adults.


Until we want them to follow our rules at home 😂


Nope 😂


Good night whiskers!

Me too, but you just say random things and then we get back on track

Well past my quota now…..


That’s it….ive hit my quota…..


Her whiskers again….youre obsessed kitty


I think this should be the goal of all reasonable people

You’re lucky Dawn!

Your whiskers, frogs banana, wife’s nipples, and Samecats gummies….the usual

My wife’s gonna feed this one right into kindergarten! It’s hilarious and lovely……kid just rocks up, pops the top, suckles and tweaks. Pros.

My 3 year old said the same thing….


Marie’s whiskers? Frog! Careful with that banana!


You lost me 😂 could be the whiskey

Could also be the tequila


Ah, Marie’s so old she can’t remember what day it is…we good 😂


In myexperience  theyre the best at it….cops are a close second 😂

Best April fools day note today! Samecat ftw!


True. Guess there will have to be some trust involved 🤷♂ I’m not sure they’re going to get what they want here.

😂😂ya…..simple times back then 😂😂


😂😂😂 love them all!!!


And yes, there is immense social pressures from the parents on other parents, to be “on the same page” on how their kids are raised.


I witnessed that same thing in every community I’ve taught in. The expectations are set by the community of parents for that school. In the most successful schools, it was a partnership between the community and the school.


As a parent, and a teacher who has taught in three different provinces, in villages, cities, and on reserves, in public and private schools, I believe that where you choose to raise your kids 💯 percent has an affect on how you raise/educate your children.


If you’re a dickhead irl I don’t think social media is going to cure you from being a dickhead, no matter how “nice” the majority of the people are on the platform you use…..I wish I were wrong.


I think it’s a place for them to hide, devolve into a worst human being, and never hit rock bottom in the real world, so that they are forced to work on themselves and be a fucking nice human being.

🤷♂


And here comes the universal basic income…….


Shit, I mean all people.


Love ya for it! 😀


Ah, I think you may be giving social

It was built to have your notes be as public as possible. Your identity can be hidden, but your ideas cannot. If you want to whisper in quiet corners, I don’t think this is the place.

I guess it takes the bank out of the equation?

I take cash out, fund at post office, now only the post office knows and not my bank?


It does.


I think they were gathering pictures and video of people…..but that’s my paranoid self talking 😂

I don’t think there is another best in person option?


I don’t think they would joke about it though? But, maybe 😂😂.

They stated in the email that if they wanted to continue to offer the funding option at Canada Post they were mandated to require government of?


Oh, maybe?

It was an email I got from BullBitcoin.


It was…..it always felt like it was too good to be true and we were working on borrowed time.


Government is slow on the uptake…..I’m guessing it took some time for it to reach the correct member of parliament to squash it.


Starting April 15th, Canadians are no longer able to buy non-KYC sats at Canada Post: https://image.nostr.build/1db41438cf62b35e6500b1c76fb73ae54e700d2d499590396396e661d6e8b9df.jpg


Alberta’s provincial government told them to f right off:

“Alberta will block renewable energy projects on “prime” agricultural land and limit the placement of wind turbines to preserve “pristine viewscapes”, a decision that increasingly pits the western Canadian province against environmental groups pushing green energy – and the companies investing in it.”


Whose plan? State government and private investors?

That’s getting up there in price. I pay for the services I use, and always will, but 15 USD is too much to pay for a social media experience. I don’t like it that much….


Where’s your left leg?


What of the unforeseen externalities of technological development? Our passions dictate what we seek to invent/development, but often times what we believed were to be their only use cases, are not what they end up being used for. Wouldn’t these unforeseen use cases then change the political/social landscape with unintended, and sometimes, dire consequences? So isn’t it both?


Small garden for fresh veggies, hunting trips twice a year, sell my labour for sats, and the rest of one’s free time reading, playing with kids, traveling, floating down rivers…….i don’t think that should be too hard, eh?


Growing up in the 90s. What a movie.


Patience is related to the deep faith that everything is happening as it should. Having the spiritual courage to continue showing up and acting with integrity even when life isn't going according to our plans is how character is built.

I think as market cap increases and risk decreases further along with it, the outsized gains will decrease.

However, this doesn’t mean that it will stop conserving your wealth against fiat currencies over the long haul.

I think it will always be a buy, hold, and forget about it, asset class.

Good night, Dawn. Sleep well. 🫂


I taught at a pretty prestigious private school for a while and I taught a billionaire’s kids. They were extremely grounded, respectful, humble and hard working kids. Their dad made them brand cattle in the summer, castrate calves and mend fences. They also went on safaris in Africa and went to the Maldives during spring break, but that’s not really the point.

The parents came in for the parent teacher interviews and I asked them how they did it. They said, “We teach our kids that we all shit from the same hole. That way they won’t end up being assholes.”


And they are both not assholes


Looks like he took a ride and died…..


You can do it without being an asshole 🤔


You’re friends with me………regrets are warranted

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum — even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.

Ps - nice looking work! I spent a summer installing ponds and patios.


That makes completes sense, and I agree with you. However, it seems like a total cash grab and I think it would include many more people than those who pave over their yards.

It’s just ridiculous optics and shows how desperate they are, that they’re willing to expend political capital to squeeze people for a few more tax dollars.


You’d get along well with my wife.

You’re asking your wife to bring you freshly squeezed lemonade too?


Yep, they’ve got to pay for their policies somehow!


Got to pay on one side, or the other. There’s no way I could’ve handled kids in my 20s 😂.

Ideas and people strong enough to stand behind them.


Do you have suggested readings/authors related to “state capacity libertarianism" and "liberal nationalism”


And I think that people are so detached from what it takes to survive, that they think they can go it alone. They lie to themselves that they are “sovereign”, “self sustainable” and free from any and interdependencies. There aren’t many people living alone, providing their own energy, food, medicine, clothing, and shelter.

Sure, I want to be free and independent, but I also want to live in a world where I can trust my fellow man to work towards a set of shared interests and common goals. The other side of that coin doesn’t interest me.


Ah, I see what you meant.

I don’t want to put words in his mouth, but I believe he is saying when Libertarianism is taken to its extremes, wherein individuals believe that they do not need to rely on the social bonds that are necessary to cooperate on larger issues, that cant be resolved on an individual basis, this could lead to feelings of isolation and despondency, which could be filled by a despotic charismatic fascist.

I agree that there are many “could”and “leaps” in this reasoning. I don’t think seeking to pursue my individual interests necessitates that I give up on cooperating with others, if that cooperation is also in my best interests. But once again, I think he was arguing about the extremes of libertarianism.


More willpower than me.

I think he lays out his reasoning better in this note:

nostr:note1nw8an0qmwl3rtqphtp976e7lzrut5arypcwcc77at5v9g459xsaqytccqu


The key point is that when these principles are taken to an extreme and divorced from any consideration of the common good or the social and institutional prerequisites for a stable and just society, they can lead to outcomes that are deeply problematic and that can create the conditions for more authoritarian and even fascistic forms of politics to take root.

Here's how this dynamic might play out:

If the principle of "don't aggress" is interpreted in a highly individualistic and atomistic way, it can lead to a view of society as nothing more than a collection of isolated individuals, each pursuing their own interests without regard for others. This can erode social bonds, undermine a sense of shared responsibility, and create a vacuum of meaning and purpose that can be filled by more authoritarian and collectivist ideologies.

Similarly, an absolutist conception of private property rights, without any recognition of the broader social context in which those rights are embedded, can lead to extreme inequalities of wealth and power, and a sense of disenfranchisement and resentment among those who feel left behind. This can create fertile ground for populist and nationalist movements that promise to restore a sense of belonging and purpose, even at the cost of individual freedoms.

Moreover, if the state is seen as nothing more than a "night watchman" whose sole purpose is to protect individual rights and property, it may lack the capacity and legitimacy to address collective challenges and provide the public goods and services necessary for a healthy and stable society. This can lead to a breakdown of trust in public institutions and a further erosion of the social fabric, creating openings for more authoritarian forms of governance to fill the void.

To be clear, none of this is to suggest that the principles of individual rights, private property, and non-aggression are inherently fascistic or that they inevitably lead to authoritarianism. Rather, the point is that when these principles are taken to an extreme and abstracted from the broader social and political context in which they are necessarily embedded, they can have unintended and dangerous consequences.

This is why thinkers in the classical liberal tradition, and more recently those associated with "state capacity libertarianism" and "liberal nationalism," have emphasized the need to balance these principles with a strong conception of the common good and a recognition of the positive role that effective and accountable government can play in securing the conditions for individual freedom and social flourishing.


I don’t think there’s ever too much on nostr.

I know of two couples who met on nostr.


You can bookmark on Damus


I hear ya. I think the exact same thing when someone says, “I don’t vote cause it doesn’t matter.”

Apathy and nihilism are the fascists’ best tools.


😂😂 borrowing against it will be the future.


In the west, I think that there has been a loss of trust in the idea that our governments are functioning for the common good. The idea that they have been tilted towards benefiting a few, at the expense of the many, is more believable and a much easier story to tell. And the funniest thing is that people who are directly benefiting from the corruption are elected to stop it. So where do we go from here? How do we reinstate the belief in our liberal institutions and the ideals of classical liberalism?


Got it. Thanks. Some things to think over.


So the constraint that should be put on libertarianism is the social contract? Without it, you contend, fascists by their very nature would rule the land?


I think who we are changes, and with it, our understanding of our world. Ride the wave and enjoy every chapter!


Lots of disclaimers today 😂. I guess it’s for those that don’t understand nuance.


Lol. Good night.


Lmao. 🤷♂. We are difficult creatures to understand.

I thought it was about Sharon Stone (shakes head in disappointment)


I don’t think they hate that the Russians have developed so quickly. It provides them with the perfect “enemy” to justify their expansion of nato, the sales of weapons of warfare, and justifications for the expansion of the state. It’s actually probably exactly what they want.


Thank you. In your opinion, libertarianism, coexisting with a strong understanding and support for the common good, when such cooperation is required for the betterment of society as a whole, would be ideal.

If you could indulge me, I’d like to provide an example of such a system and see if I am understanding you correctly.

Before European contact, the plains tribes of North America functioned as separate bands for most of the year. These were usually structured around familial ties. Individuals, or families, were free to leave a band whenever they wanted. They were not forced or bound to any particular band, and often times bands would not see eye to eye and families would move to another band. These bands were not hostile with each, as they were part of the same tribe/nation.

However, once a year the bands would put aside all of their differences and come together for a buffalo hunt. Their survival for the winter was dependent on their ability to work together for the common good. Each band and each family was given the same amount of food, to carry them through the winter.

After the hunt, each band would go to their winter camp, and continue on with their independent lives, unhindered by the constraints of another band’s rules and expectations.

Is that what you had in mind? And it’s your belief that uncontained libertarianism is nullifying the idea of a “common good”.

I can agree with this. Also, I would venture to say that by doing this they also bastardize the phrase “common good”, so that if one were to even bring up the idea in some circles they would be labeled a commie or socialist.l, and completely disregarded.


😂 sounds like my kind of people


😂 can I come?


“Liberal Aristocracies” are simply fronts for the real fascists who are in control.


I think you are wrong here. I don’t believe there has been a president since JFK that was not a useful idiot used by who you refer to as fascists.

They control both sides of the political spectrum, and allow their chosen useful idiot to run and then be elected, depending on the sentiment of the voting population.

Once in power, they manufacture a crisis that erodes the power of the liberal institutions that were/are the only thing that limits their power and complete control.

They have been working at this for 60 years, and I believe that they have reached the final stage, and no longer care to hide their intentions, because they control almost every facet of our lives.

Our liberal institutions were/are the only bulwark against this and they are crumbling. We are divided.


LBJ, Nixon, the Bush family…..all the same.


I may not be understanding your points, but I think you are arguing that fascists are using libertarianism and libertarians to thwart liberalism? And they are doing the same on the left? Thereby creating a “culture war” to hide the ultimate goal of fascist totalitarianism?


Ps - I’m not saying I believe anything I just wrote, I’m just wondering who you think these “fascists” are?


Could you provide your definition of fascist?

And are these the same fascists who control the CIA, killed Kennedy, and funded/armed the Nazis in WW2?


😂😂 good to know


😂 that’s one way to handle it

Of course. The industrialists need enemies to convince us that we need protection. Also, they can supply weapons to both sides. Win-win.

Beautiful code connecting beautiful people…..as it should be


They've always been here. I've seen their faces in our stories. The stories that live in my bones and guide my understanding of the world. In the past they hid behind brick walls and underneath long woolen tunics, and then later, hired thugs in jack boots and steel helmets. Now they are out in the open, champions of "entrepreneurship and technology" consolidating their power, and tightening the noose. They haven't won yet, but that doesn't mean that they won't. When you are on the reserve, that's when you will know that we have lost.

https://youtu.be/-rtlkILRmEQ?si=TUnkkXc7GhWqIR3Z


I think this thing works.


I don’t disagree with you. I hope they do too. 🤙🫂


Yeah I get your point. People are lazy and dumb, and need something easy to use 😂. I still don’t think they will stay unless they know, understand, and value what they are gaining by being here. I don’t think you need to educate them with the technicality of how it works, but they do need to value not being censored, not having to kyc, and that they can switch between any client and take their network with them. If they don’t care about those things then why stay?


I agree with your points about people not wanting to think and that the usability is important, but with anything there are tradeoffs. If you have to sacrifice usability for an addd layer of privacy, or to be able to own your data and be in control of it, then people need to be taught to value these things. I absolutely hate all social media, but absolutely love freedom. It’s the only reason I’m here. I’m hear to tell stories and to listen to them. To connect with people and to debate the ongoing troubles of our time. To shitpost and laugh.

No one is going to use something that is more time consuming and complex, unless they know what they are gaining and sacrificing. It’s been an ongoing discussion here for over a year, and I think the best answer is that choice for the user is of the utmost importance. If one wants to simply use a Twitter clone, because it’s easy, and give up added layers of privacy or control then that is fine. As long as the user is educated and understands the tradeoffs, then I don’t see a problem with it. So I think we are on the same page there.

As for what you said about your data, why not exist online in multiple domains/ways. My view is that one should be educated on how to exist online in a private way, so that they have the skills necessary if it were ever to become dangerous, or risky to have certain opinions/beliefs/ideas and to be able to connect with people to form a bulwark against invasive surveillance and control. It may get way worste and open and transparent ways of communicating may become a matter of life or death. I know it sounds hyperbolic but why not have that in your toolbox in case you need it?

Maybe nostr needs more project managers who can coordinate developers to work together?


There can’t be coordination and consolidation without capital investment? Too many competing ideas and interests and the money would incentive people to follow a plan? But then I guess the problem becomes whose plan gets followed?


It’s how the internet was built, wasn’t it?


I’m not sure nostr needs the generation of “flip phones” to succeed.

The bigger question is how do we get kids to value privacy again, to value owning their data, and to value not being censored and in control.

The pendulum has to swing in this way right? At some point? If not, why would they bother to put up with the perceived imperfections?


This is one of my favourite goodnights 🤗 sleep well.

This is the entertainment-centric mentality I want to move nostr (or, at least Coracle) away from. It doesn't matter to me that my feed is always fresh whenever I open it — this is one of those "dark patterns" legacy social media implements. Ironically, nostr does a better job than twitter or youtube and giving you new stuff whenever you open your app because of the use of reverse-chronological feeds.

Anyway, the model I want to move to is one in which "reading everything" is possible, or at least a reasonable thing to do. One in which interaction is a result of interest, rather than boredom. In this model, you would never miss the content you really want to see, and less important content would be put into a digest or filtered using algorithms.

Deflation is a drag. Especially noticeable when builders are building into an economy propped up by over 100 years of fiat-enabled overcapacity.

If you’re anything like me, which I believe you are, you’re underestimating your skills and what you could offer a business/employer that values you. You’ve got more opportunities than you are aware of.

Make sure you fuck them hard on your way out. It’s a fleeting feeling, but feels good for a moment. You deserve that.

My oldest daughter plays in the boys league. She's not in the top tier, but she holds her own. She doesn't ask for any favours, and they don't give her any. Once they start hitting she'll move over to the girl's league, but until then, she wants to play with the boys because they are bigger, faster, and stronger and that makes her work harder and get better.

There's a lesson in there somewhere :)


At 200k what’s the market cap of btc?

How much money does it take to move it 5%?

Sure, stonks can move 5% in a day, but how often does that happen with stocks with massive market cap? With a stock with market cap of btc at a spot price of 200k?


Its market cap is tiny, relative to other asset classes right now.


Embrace and enjoy the volatility while it lasts!


I don’t think so. As the market cap increases, it will be harder for big money to move the needle. God candles will decrease as market cap increases.

It’s all about how they can frame the conservatives to win the next election.

“Look conservatives don’t care about protecting kids, they voted against this and LGBQT2…..”

They are gearing up to wedge Canadians for the next election.


No hope needed. It’s not as scary as some would like to make you think it is. This bill will go nowhere in its current form. No one wants it this way, other than a fledgling liberal pms office that thinks they can use it to wedge Canadians. They’re flailing.


No sarcasm. There is no way this bill will pass in its current form. The Liberals are making a massive misstep. They think they have public opinion on their side.

This will not pass and they know it. They may be using it to call the next election and use it as a wedge issue, which would absolutely blow up in their faces.


Yes we will. No they won’t be illegal.


It won’t pass. There’s no chance.

You tricked me, but only because Bohemian tagged me.

Damn you Fish!!!!


Yes, exactly. Humans like to feel smarter/superior to others, so individuals use this to their advantage to drive engagement and to form relationships with their targets.

Many people on social media will pretend to be ignorant, or will post things that are obviously inaccurate, or downright false, to get engagement on their posts.  People love to "dunk" on others, or point out how much smarter they are, with little knowledge/regard of what is actually happening.


Good morning!


:):):) lmao


One of the perks of the job 😜😂


And multiple states/provinces could have liens?


Impossible 😂


Thanks!


#asknostr

Anyone out there in Canuckistan ever bought a used vehicle privately, that had a lien on it?

My understanding is that I should require the seller to pay off the debt themselves, and then they should provide a lien discharge letter, and I should conduct a lien search through Carfax and check with the institution that held the lien.

Am I missing something?


I’m still laughing about the nurse and your patient.


💯 I like to put them in columns and then run down the middle. Allows me to get the best coverage and confuses the lot of them. They don’t know who to blame!


😂 glad to see we all do it. I blame my flatulence on my students.

😂😂😂


I would love to see more long form content like this on Nostr.

"The chief characteristic of the enlightenment was a tradition of skepticism, criticism of prevailing ideas and the willingness to experiment on theories outside the consensus. The people who report to and are funded by powerful governments and NGOs did not invent the light bulb or split the atom. They are functionaries, apparatchiks, modern priests who give cover to power in a technocratic society.
One tell is they use words like “disinformation” and advocate for censorship. They purport not to espouse a particular scientific theory but to represent science itself to “own the science." Does that sound more like people upholding enlightenment principles or a repressive religious sect?"

Thanks for the write up! You answered some of my questions.

I see the benefits for new users and people who are not familiar with btc, but are there any advantages of using cashu for those people that are already using lightning, either custodial or non custodial, and are comfortable with it?


But yes, handsome


Seems too perfect…..


He’s insufferable


Of course


Poem of the Day

O God of Cuba

BY JORDAN PÉREZ

O god of  tarantulas hissing from the trees
O god of cassava cut to the quick
O god of  the chicken’s dragging, broken neck
O god of  burying your money
O god of guayaba’s split red belly
O god of  the soldier taking your wedding...


😂 balance


Not my words. It’s from the article Rabble posted, but yes, I agree with the sentiment too.


“If there was ever a moment when the obvious, catastrophic, imminent risk of trusting Big Tech intermediaries to sit between you and your customers or audience, it was now.

This is not the moment to be "social first." This is the moment for POSSE (Post Own Site, Share Everywhere), a strategy that sees social media as a strategy for bringing readers to channels that you control.”

Great read. nostr:note19z28elmjnkn7cdpyzxkfkpya222fmvgf4cw0qqr9nhknpe35mrwsxlzpwy


They are being reintroduced all over the Rockies and the Colorado River basin, and other places where there are water shortages.

Before contact, the Blackfoot tribes never hunted them because they knew of their importance. Now, we are catching up.

The world’s largest beaver dam exists in Wood Buffalo National Park, in Canada.

It is twice as long as the Hoover dam, measuring 2,790 ft (over 800 meters). It’s so big that you can even see it from space. https://image.nostr.build/c10ba8ef6e4d4d9726a099e6c03c133bef74c22ec915af3ce58170f92f1ea725.jpg

Imagine what we could discover, when we both don’t know the way, and are humble enough to listen.


Now you’ve lost me

Diet seems to be one of those things that is a very personal thing. No one size fits all. Exercise and balance works well for me.
I loved his earlier discussions on the bible and his lectures from his U of T days, his first book, but ever since he joined Daily Wire there seems to be something off. Now it’s really hit or miss.

I liked Jordan Peterson a lot more when he was eating bread.


We rented a tiny little tin shack, on a squalid little side street, on one of the nicest stretches of beaches I’ve been to and it was framed above the shitter…..


“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

What’s that quote about trying to get into heaven, skidding in, ragged, worn out and with a smile on my face……?


I thought the chocolates were a metaphor


Then you get arrested.


Well, thank god 😂

Fuck that.


The whole idea is premised on the idea that people will pay for something because they find value in it.

People are driven and incentivized to get what they want for the cheapest price possible.

I zap because I’m driven by my underlying philosophy and ideology of ridding my life of advertising  and centralized platforms. The other 99% of people are not. They want things for free.

Secondly, it’s extremely difficult to know what something is “worth”. People will always underpay for your time, specially if they don’t have any idea what it takes to make your product.


Morning!
