Thank you. Tell her Sebastian says hi. She’ll know what that means.

Well, if the artifacts disappear we know who did it!


I’ve been here for over a year and I don’t know who you are, or what you do?

Maybe you’re doing it wrong?

Or maybe I am?

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzdes8q6nywpex5mnqde4qgsx45lz5dyp3v2neq0533v0gnj3n8nmflydhcmczzsqph8rey9hwsqrqsqqqa28wyk0ny

It’s really hard to beat an efficient market. It can be done, but only if you have the conviction of a visionary, and you see something most people miss. I would never argue you shouldn’t try, but at a minimum, you should pick your spots carefully.

What a contrast between an efficient market where everyone is weighing in with his valuation independently and one characterized by group-think, where only a few are truly looking at the landscape, and everyone else is following along blindly. In this kind of market, anyone able to follow his own obvious observations, not corrupted by groupthink, can clean up.

Let’s use the recent Super Bowl as an example. Imagine everyone thought the 49ers would win easily. All the pundits, the influencers, the “sharps”. In fact, let’s imagine even opining that the Chiefs would win made you look like an idiot, someone who understood nothing about the NFL. In fact, uttering such an opinion not only disqualified you in NFL-savvy circles but made you a social pariah, a person of low-status who could safely be dismissed out of hand not only on football matters but generally.

In such a scenario, what do you think the point spread in the Super Bowl would have been? I’ll say 49ers minus 20. In that case, the Chiefs would have been an awfully good bet — easy money.

Unfortunately for people like me betting the actual Super Bowl, the real NFL market is pretty efficient, and I got only two points with the Chiefs (It turned out to be enough, but the game, which went into overtime, surely could have gone either way.) In other words, I had no advantage over anyone else when placing this bet.

By contrast, it was trivially easy to be right about Russiagate being a fraud, the lab leak being obvious, the "safety and efficacy" of the mRNA shot being a lie, the "climate change" agenda being a power grab, January 6 as an “insurrection” being absurd, Bitcoin being a store of value and Joe Biden's obvious dementia because massive amounts of bribery go into keeping people in the dark about those things.

As the laptop class is incentivized to believe lies in order to get ahead socially and professionally, there is no longer a free market of ideas operating in those spheres. There is thus a giant information gap between those willing to think for themselves and those limited by the parameters of what's socially and professionally advantageous to believe.

If this gap closes, it's game over for the ruling class whose continued authority depends on it existentially. Is anyone going to vote for a plainly demented Joe Biden unless Trump were a fascist dictator hellbent on destroying democracy by fomenting insurrections? Will anyone sign up for vaccine passports if the medicines being mandated are ineffective and outright dangerous? What will be left of your overlords’ credibility should you dare to transgress the boundaries of this modern church?

It’s not surprising they resort to aggressive tactics, including illegal ones like censorship, to prevent these ideas from taking hold should social and professional incentives prove insufficient. (Censorship in the information age seems like a rather desperate strategy, but probably no more desperate than the Church imprisoning Galileo in the hopes of staving off the scientific enlightenment.)

In the meantime, the person who is not limited by what ideas are acceptable to his overlords will thrive relative to the one who is, and the information gap will also translate to gaps in real-world health and prosperity, offsetting the astro-turfed incentives offered to those on the impoverished side of the gap. Once this process persists long enough, and the incentives cease, the scope of the damage done to those who stayed within the prescribed limits will be apparent to everyone.

In fact, to many, it already is.


Good morning


Good luck! I hope it works out!


You won my friend.


Too smart 😜


You and my wife 😂😜


We started having kids when my wife was 32-33. We’ve had four since……can’t stop, won’t stop 😂

Weird. When I click on the icon for the room on the landing page nothing happens.


I believe they were frustrated with posting the note and it not appearing the same in every client. Tags, quotes, images, etc. would all be different depending on which client the user was using.


Mmmmmmmm!


I think the lack of interoperability, decrease in zaps overtime, and amount of work all played a role.


I buy bitcoin, so that I can read fiction, observe art in all its beauty, and spend time with my family. It frees me from having to be a journalist, financial expert, diplomat, or politician. Instead, I get to chase seagulls and cover my children in fairy dust.

What makes you think I haven’t?

I’ve spent many of my years enveloped in hate for the “other”. It got me nowhere. It didn’t provide me with anything. It’s still there. Always will be, like a dormant seed, hidden amongst everything that is its complete opposite.

You choose to feed yours, water it, fertilize it, and then attempt to water mine. To surround yourself with others that hate. To protect yourself from being vulnerable, because you can’t do it on your own.

One day, you may realize that your wounds are self inflicted. That you are the cause of your pain. You may never. You may die alone, drowned in the shade of your flower, that you could never contain.


I know. Sometimes I need to engage, just to observe them in their element.


Because you are going to protect them?


We just have to laugh.


😂 you’re “an aspiring” writer?

Can you point me towards a piece of yours, cause your feed looks to be a concoction of Ann Coulter’s used tampons.


Stop following me. Easy fix.


You’re such a joy to read. Thank you for your input.


In equilibrium with one’s mind, nature, and other human beings.


That’s good too…..every boy needs encouragement from a strong, intelligent, and confident woman!


Storytellers…..our greatest weapon. Truly.


The best way to “tell” them, is to show them.


The only way to deal with it is to be open with our children. To teach them how to think critically, and deconstruct what is fed to them.

We can’t hide them away from it. We have to make them understand, and model that healthy habits, an understanding of themselves and their bodies, and how they portray themselves to the world, will determine how they are viewed and whether or not they garner the respect they deserve.

It’s way harder to do this when they are constantly being fed media that tells them the opposite. No other generation has had to deal with it, to this degree.


Kind of like people without kids, judging those that do?

I’m sorry, I value your opinion on many things,  but until you’re a parent you can’t really make statements like the ones above.

I used to think I knew better too, until I had my own kids.

It’s everywhere. It’s impossible to protect our children, every moment, of every day, nor should I have to or want to.

It has crept into every aspect of their lives and it’s not just negligent parents that have to deal with it.

You will see and learn when you have your own.


Perfect!

Being fully sovereign should not be  the goal. It’s unattainable. We do, and need, to be a voluntary member of a community. An acknowledgment of our interdependencies is necessary to seek out sovereignty in some aspects/areas of our lives. We are not meant to do it all on our own. We need cooperation, trust, and a belief that there are others who have shared goals.

Once you know this, you can pick and choose the areas of your life that you would like to be more sovereign.


Still looking for friends like this :)


I thought it was only me :)


Like anyone, he can behave like one. He has his moments though.


I mean, truly helping them, not just providing a temporary fix or some form of immediate assistance. I mean changing their lives, in a significant way.


He is an excellent orator when he chooses to be. His speeches that he just did in Canada were not good examples of this.


There is nothing more difficult than helping people.

I’m in the same boat. I’m about to take on a grand adventure, but am resisting “selling myself and my family” to centralized media platforms.


Have you ever considered that there might be people with valuable things to say who lack either the skills or the desire to grow their follower count? Maybe they don’t have the time. Or maybe they kinda like the idea of flying under the radar.

Here’s my essay on how web of trust can free us from the tyranny of the legacy advertisements-addicted system which worships social media “influencers” at the expense of everyone else. How WoT can give us the tools to find the users and the content we want. Even when those users don’t have a high follower count.

Morning!


Agreed!


My dreams of being an influencer are over.


My response won’t even show up on primal 😂


100 sats and I’ll boost this to all my followers 😂😂


😂 fucking brain chips.


I think they will have their relays and we will have ours. I think the key will lay in our ability to educate people about how their “freedom of speech” is not really free. I don’t know if we will be able to do it, but it’s worth a try.


I feel your pain.


I really think that corporations, news agencies, and governments will not use nostr until they can completely control their narratives, which will mean complete control of their relays and whitelists of npubs that have write permissions to their relays.


I believe this is apparent to most people here now, because we are early adopters and are familiar with the underlying structures/tech.

However, I believe the next big wave will be completely unaware and will simply use the default settings and default relays etc run by the most “influential” clients.


Probably not too far off.


Don’t forget about their caching service. Seems pretty optimal for the inclusion of advertising.


Because we can just use another client and they can do whatever they want. They aren’t going after us, they are going after the mainstream users who will just use their default settings and feeds.


I don’t either.

It’s not really that odd. People gain followers from being on a list, they then promote the platform/client.

It’s a mutual agreed upon arrangement where both parties gain.

Free market. It is what is and people won’t care or don’t seem to care.

Which is fine, but we can still point it out.


I think there’s a group of “recommended follows” who are on the list because they use it and promote it.

I also think there are those who get “boosted” into the trending list because they have large followings in the space of btc and social media.


Yep. Clients going to client.


Whatever. Follow lists, trending lists, recommended follow lists…….whatever. Have at it. I’ll stay in my corner.


I suppose the justification for it would be that these people have large followings on other platforms and have the greatest possibility of bringing people over. They promote primal on other platforms, those same followers come over, and see names they are familiar with in the trending feed.

Maybe primal becomes the gateway drug to btc and other clients? Or maybe, those same people just stick with primal because it’s comfortable.


Ah, I see.


People need to stop boosting them!


I’m new to this, but why not boost someone else’s meme? Don’t they deserve the recognition?


😂😂 information wants to be free. Right?


Yep! I didn’t listen either!

Ps - there was also a Lebanese couple who I really enjoy speaking with too.

We can read articles, watch interviews, stream documentaries, but there is nothing better than sitting down with someone and listening to their story.


Last night, we went into the city for a dinner with my wife’s colleagues. At the tables were seated Chinese, Iranian, Pakistani, Indian, European, Nigerian, and Canadian people. We ate at an Afghani restaurant.

We had one thing that tied us all together. We are human. We are messy. We have a past, some form of struggle, like every other human, that brought us to this place. That brought us together for one reason. To give our children a better life than the one we were given, and to leave the world a better place.

The individuals who sit atop our institutions, who say they are fighting for my way of life, to protect my way of life, and are attempting to give my children a future better than the one we have now, are liars. They lie. They divide. They justify their existence based on differences that are inherit of all humans. They do it to line their pockets with the profits of war. To gain power for themselves. To acquire wealth so that they can shield themselves from a life that is real, and messy. They hide their intentions behind masks of altruism. They hide behind placid masks for their flaccid souls.

The people who fight for my way of life, for the quality of life of my children, were the ones sitting in that room with me.

Vancouver, North America’s largest exporter of coal. But natural gas you ask? Never!


Lots of things get put into law, even when they don’t make any sense. For example, my grocery store isn’t allowed to provide me with compostable bags, but they are allowed to sell them in the aisle.  So, when I forget my reusable bags I have to purchase the bags for 15 cents in the aisle, take them out of the package and then hand them to the person bagging my groceries. Before the law, the grocer could have them at the till and then charge me.


It's a private members bill, so hopefully it won't see the light of day. With that being said, it may be a  harbinger of things to come. To have a member of a G7 parliament, of a party that sits at 20% in the polls, and holds the swing vote/power in a minority Government is mind boggling.

From the article:

"It means it would be illegal for an oil or gas company or employees thereof to say that natural gas emissions are 40 per cent lower than coal and 20 per cent lower than oil (a scientific fact) and therefore we should exploit more natural gas resources.

It means that noting the enormous opportunity for economic prosperity that oil and gas offers multiple First Nations communities would be criminalized, even if it were a First Nation itself making the argument.
It means stating the fact — I emphasize not opinion, but verifiable fact — that oil and gas contribute billions of dollars to our economy and therefore are a vitally important economic engine that should be exploited could land someone in jail."


They are much more “centrist”. There are key issues where they differ quite greatly. With that being said, I don’t believe in either party saving Canadians. Only we can do that, by demanding better.


Exactly


It would be nice of them to just get out of the way. We should be one of the richest and most free countries on the planet.


I have little faith in suburban Toronto, or the Laurentian corridor. They hold their noses and vote liberal, everytime.


I only engage in wrongthink.


My concern is that the opposition party is solely focused on Trudeau, and if the Liberals switch leaders, they may still be able to win the election. Mark Carney, is completely different animal.

Or they may make things so untenable that the Cons can't right the ship in 3-4 years, and the Carney Liberals swoop in for another majority for 8-10 years.


What do you call a country run by lunatics?

Canada

It may soon be illegal to promot fossil fuels, or engage in climate dissent.

"The bill then gets down to its most serious business: punishment. The penalties proposed are fines of up to $1,500,000 and two years in prison for the promotion of fossil fuels.  What constitutes “promotion” you may ask? The bill specifies that among the acts to be deemed illegal would be promoting a fossil fuel or its production “in a manner that states or suggests that the fossil fuel, its production or its emissions are less harmful than other fossil fuels, their production or their emissions.” The bill continues that it would also be illegal to suggest that “a fossil fuel or the practices of a producer or of the fossil fuel industry would lead to positive outcomes in relation to the environment, the health of Canadians, reconciliation with Indigenous peoples or the Canadian or global economy.”

If you don't know, the NDP is in a coalition government with a minority Liberal Government (Trudeau). They have the swing vote and play an integral role in the policies of Canada.

Oh they’ve read it, but they ignore it. You know, for our protection.


What is wrong with people? This pisses me off so much.


Be careful. One way to instil nihilism and apathy in a citizenry is to confuse them and make them believe that nothing is “real” and everything and everyone is a “scam”. It leads one to a dark, scary, and lonely place. There are still many things that are not a scam and that are beautiful.

She pretends that in the past the entire world has been able to decide on something as one unit. It never has, and  it never will, and this why Bitcoin will never die.


It will be interesting to see who, and how many show up, when it’s fully built. I’ll be honest, they’ll probably piss me off.


In the context of Bitcoin, where a small group of advocates is pushing for a systemic change against a powerful incumbent, it will be crucial to foster grassroots adoption on a scale never seen before.

Less than half of the American colonists were in favor of the American revolution. Nearly a third even fought FOR THE BRITISH. The rest were undecided or neutral.

We’re so early. If this is going to be a peaceful revolution and global transformation, it will require an enormous push, from a minority of actors, to simultaneously convince the world of Bitcoin’s value-proposition while also demonstrating its power and inevitability.

It will be the last place to post our thoughts, and to let our ideas fight and die, so that our sons and daughters don’t have to.


It's much better to have our ideas fight our battles, rather than our sons and daughters.

I’d like to hear why you think that’s wrong?

What incentive would there to be own a large tract of land if you can’t  store the wealth that it produces?


Before money, there wasn’t any incentive to acquire as much land as one could.


I meant that once money was invented, man could store the excess production from their land in a currency. Before the advent of money, a farmer could only make what they could trade, before it spoiled.


I would listen to albums. Start from the beginning.


Your lack of Radiohead knowledge has created a wedge.


Not worth looking into……

Online entrepreneurship, without revealing an identity? Do you believe you could sell a product and establish trust, without providing an identity to your customers/clients?

If you are interested, this an excellent chapter on property rights and aboriginal rights. I could also scan a copy if you are interested:

https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/an-approach-to-political-philosophy/rediscovering-america-the-two-treatises-and-aboriginal-rights/A5DA6953401ABFBC6D63A86084FF75AD#


But it wasn't until man developed money, that he could acquire more land than was necessary to satisfy his needs, for without money and the preservation of that which he grows, man would have no use for land beyond what he needs to sustain himself.

Posessions are very different than property, and the labour value definition of property, used by Locke et al., was used to dispossess indigenous peoples of their land.


It does not require many words, to speak the truth.

OR

“Only When The Last Tree Has Been Cut Down, The Last Fish Caught And The Last Stream Poisoned, Will We Realize We Cannot Eat Money.”


I was thinking about smells yesterday, and I realized that I was very grateful that my wife often smells of three of my favourite things. Fresh bread, chopped wood, and babies.


If you could trade your anonymity and privacy for the life you wanted, would you do it?

If the life you wanted, can only be achieved by your ability to establish relationships with people, would you publish the identity of yourself to reach these goals?

Do you think your words and stories are enough to forge a relationship with strangers, or do we live in a world where this impossible?

Is it a “trans” agenda to divide

Or

A “(insert anything)” agenda to divide


😂 Oh, I mean me. I’ll never wear one.


Yes, the same with my wife.


😂😂😂 never


Seems like an extremely outdated model of assessment.


I often find myself watching my wife    withholding things from her female friends and I ask her why. She tells me that she doesn’t want to make them jealous, feel inferior, and she wants to keep her friends. Now, we are seeing the same thing with our eldest daughter. It’s so foreign to me as a male, so instead, I just brag for her 😂


Do they hate women?


Do people actually think this?


It’s an interesting thing for me to think about, as I am in a profession that is largely dominated women. Whereas my wife is in a profession that has a much larger percentage of men.

She has always said that it is easier to work with men because they are not in direct competition with her. I see this with my colleagues as well. I am very rarely in conflict with women, whereas, it seems to me, they are consistently in conflict with one another, especially if one is in a higher position.


I’m not sure I even know what the word means anymore.


Have a great weekend!


As if it were by design, eh?


Thanks Paulo 😀


Good night

Hurry up 😂


FIRE is usually DINKs, not families of 6 or 7. Homeschooling/homesteaders, would be more realistic for large families.


I haven’t. I guess I’m not doing this correctly.


I find it ass backwards that I’m away from my family when I am the most productive and energetic.

They see me at the end of the day, after a full day behaving, when I’m exhausted and my patience is thin.

I’m going to figure out a way to flip the script 🧐


We all could use wishes. Thank you. I too, wish you the best.


I’m sorry the world isn’t big enough for me to tell my story, or anymore significant than anyone else’s. We all need to work and scrape to get what we want out of this life.


Nothing has been given to me. I took it.


Luck has nothing to do with it. Hard work, experience, and an understanding of my place in the world has made the difference. I came from nothing, and when I die, I will leave the world with something.

I use threema as well and have been very happy with its reliability. I think it would be great for anyone. I haven’t used simplex in a couple months. I never couldn’t that a message had been received.


That’s great! Outside the drudgery of the 9-5 office, creative endeavours can flourish!


😂 yes, people think we are crazy and doing things backwards. It’s funny though, because it’s our friends who think this, and they are in the same age cohort as us; however, when we speak with people who are older, and that have children that are university aged, they commend us and tell us we are doing it correctly.

I think that it is really important for young adults, who are starting out on their career paths, to realistically assess their “wants” and then match their career aspirations to those goals. I knew early on what I needed to be happy, and was able to attain a career that gave me that. My “wants” are miniscule, whereas others may need all the fancy shiny things.

Also, to your point in your original note, people are always talking about having “FU” money, so that they can be more free,  but an equally effective strategy is to be happy with way less. If one were to hop off the treadmill, and minimize those “wants” one could be free with a lot less.

I find pleasure in down time reading a book, cooking a meal, playing a board game, or spending time on the land. All of these things are nearly free.


Damn it *our. Coffee needed now.


My wife and I live this way. She could make more money, could work more days a week if she wanted to, but has decided to spend more time raising our children. I’ve chosen a career that provides with me with an adequate amount of money to fund our chosen lifestyle, and gives me a lot of time to spend with her and my children. We live simply, spend are money on experiences, and spend our free time with our children.

🌶takes are necessary


Ffs are we really going to go back and argue about badges again? No one gives a shit about a star. It’s not a dividing line between haves and have nots.

Have some fucking fun. If you do or don’t support Damus this way, I don’t give shit, and I would venture to guess that no one else does either.

Focus on what really matters. We are attempting to flip over the cart. Shift the paradigm. Create a new way of interacting, on an open, censorship resistant protocol.

Eyes on the prize mfers.


Auntie! Lovely!


This, and I have no way to assess the costs of running Damus. How am I supposed to know what to donate to keep the lights on? Set a price, ask me to pay, and I will, if it is commiserate to the value I get from it.


wtf did I just read


Yep.


Why are they mutually exclusive?

I’ll pay for both.


A little star beside my name does absolutely nothing for me. But I can’t speak for anyone else, so you may be right.


I agree with that. I disagree with your assessment of why people paid for purple today. I bet most of the people who paid for purple were amongst the top donaters to Will over the last year and understand the value proposition. The number/badge stuff was just for a few laughs.


How is Damus purple exclusive? 5$ isn’t much of a barrier?


V4V is a shit model and people need to be told what something is worth. They will then happily pay it.


I don’t think it’s a majority here.


I too, could care less about the number or the badge. Paying for what we use is the only way I foresee us breaking free from the chains we find ourselves in. I’ve donated, zapped, and I am now happy to pay for what I use.


Lmao!

Yeah, that would work. And then if I was using AI to generate something it would bring up past recipes based on the type of dish or ingredients. Then I could select the one I generated, or the one with the highest review.


The only thing lacking are reviews. I base a lot of my selections on the reviews of others.

I’ve covered my room with Saran Wrap.


So basic introduction for anyone interested: I am a gray hat hacker and cybersecurity awareness activist who likes to stir up privacy-centered networks. I have probably met some of you before.

I actually came here looking for a challenge. I've been lurking around here in some form or another for about 4 months now, playing with different clients and tools, even running my own testnet (3 stirfry relays on a VLAN). Mostly I have been focused on the community and how people use different clients. I've been playing with some good open source tools and getting an understanding of how to interact with relays.

Personally I'm not all that into Bitcoin, but I do have a whole BTC in cold storage so I guess I've got that going for me. This whole lightning thing is new to me, I don't really ever spend Bitcoin, and my actual business makes me plenty of fiat.

So far I am impressed with the community. A little too wild-west in some areas since there's hardly any moderation tools, and the community isn't quite interested in the same things that I am, but I do see a lot of advocacy for privacy and digital freedom, and I like that.

But the whole system here is, regrettably, broken. The promises made about Nostr don't live up to reality. A network like this has the potential to become so much more, but there is a lot to lose if it is done wrong.

I intend to help expose these problems. Expect me here for a while. There are a lot of vectors for attack, and I plan to give them all visibility.

Nostr devs, please pay attention. With no centralized network development, all of you are responsible for fixing these issues.


Lovely!

Babe what’s that? That’s my burner honey. Just in case.


That’s true. I haven’t really considered that.

😂 On android, you can choose which apps to run through a vpn “tunnel”.  When I turn on my vpn all my apps are running through the “tunnel”.

Oh. That makes sense.


I don’t know what this means.


Too many. Prune your bush. Too many fleas.


I didn’t  say she was playing with my oranges.


I’m just over here drinking wine and eating oranges with my wife.


Well, it’s the kind of theory one would state after a bottle of wine, and I did a horrible job summarizing it (the wine again).


There are three ways, well there are more, but basically three ways to peel and eat an orange:

There's the man who grabs any orange off the shelf, doesn't rinse it, and bites into it to start the peeling. Rips the peel off, tosses it aside, and eats  mis mahs of double and triple slices.

There's the man who carries a pocket knife, rinses it, slices off a bit, and then methodcially peels the orange. Eats a single slice at a time, savouring every bite, and grabs another.

Then there's the man that washes it, cuts the orange into perfect wedges, puts it into a container to take to work, then folds out the meat of the orange, makes sure that he doesn't get any fluid on his fingers, and then throws away the peels.

Each of these generalizations corresponds to a type of lover. The first is a voracisou/selfish lover, the second is a careful, generous, giving lover who thinks ahead and is in control, and then the third one is the type who lays out his clothes, doesn't take his socks off, and is robotic in his execution.

This is a poor summary of her hypothesis, but it's the gist.


No no. It’s legit. A theory, but legit nonetheless.


My brother’s first wife had to get her’s reduced, as a result of the back pain.


I can’t just give you the answer. You need to conduct your own research.


Makes a lot of sense.


My wife just told me that she can tell what kind of a lover a man will be by the way he peels and eats an orange.
n = 1
Her hypothesis seems to be valid.

It shares many similarities with Amerindian philosophy, from certain nations, in terms of focusing on personal growth, self-discipline, and finding inner peace amidst life's challenges. Many of the philisophical underpinnings of the plains tribes encourage individuals to develop mental fortitude and maintain a positive attitude towards life's uncertainties.

I would venture to guess that it’s the content of the education that has failed, or has been a success, depending on whose point of view you are looking at it from.

Do they care about their people, or their “bottom line”? You may not be able to see it, but it’s there.


Feigning of respect for Indigenous people’s belief systems and care for the environment.


I have to give credit, where credit is due. Many of those in power have realized that open domination leads to eventual revolt.

So instead, they have put in place systems that bend, coax, cajole, and trick forces of nature, to increase the likelihood of securing a favourable outcome for themselves.

Our world has become a natural lab where our innate tendencies are exploited through close observation and experimentation.

The cultivation and yield of an immense, docile, mindless, apathetic citizenry is the mono-cultured crop they planted many years ago.


Greed. Nothing more, nothing less.


😂 I wouldn’t go that far……..but


A package can travel from Japan, Germany, China, Australia in two days, but when it hits Canada it takes 5 days to travel 350kms.


In summary, what is important and what we should strive to protect is equality of autonomy.

Everyone should be provided with the freedom to:
Disobey
To move
To build

In modern society, I suppose there is only one way to achieve this. Wealth.


Egalitarian has become such a bastardized word. When Europeans first arrived to North America they found people in societies that we would call egalitarian (meaning everyone is equal) but they actually seemed to be less concerned with equality than they were with autonomy, meaning an individual’s right to self-govern.
Many of the indigenous civilizations of pre - European contact actually believed that each person having autonomy over him or herself is the most important value to protect. And while this means nobody can rightfully dominate anyone else, which in turn creates a relatively egalitarian society, individual liberty was prioritized over actual equality.
Anthropologists have found that there were three forms of freedom that were commonly at the foundation of an egalitarian cultural value system:
The freedom to move away: One should be free to leave at any time and know there’s somewhere else they can go and be welcomed.
The freedom to disobey: One should be free to disobey orders without repercussion.
The freedom to build new social worlds: If what exists isn’t working, there should always be freedom to imagine new possibilities and implement them.
Now, I ask myself, how do these notions of freedom align with our worldview in modern society?
Even though much of our thinking has been influenced by these ideals, and we are much closer to them than were 17th-century Europeans, we still don’t fully embrace all of these freedoms.
For example, most of us can’t even imagine a society in which disobedience of the law has no consequences. We tend to have paradoxical ideas about freedom, wherein we all want our personal freedoms but we believe authority, embedded in the government, is absolutely necessary.


So still a work in progress, or putting it on hold?


Update?


Never mind. Figured it out.


I can’t find “install on home screen” in the account settings?


Massive centre of trade and rituals for the surrounding tribes that was built between 3700-3100 BP. There wasn’t anything bigger built in NA for more than 2000 years. Huge accomplishment in earthen construction, not many people know about.

Nope, you’re wrong. There are a few that work at the Royal Terrell Museum in Alberta. They are finding bones all the time.

A cart is a vehicle that is ordinarily pulled by a horse, so to put the cart before the horse is an analogy for doing things in the wrong order. The figure of speech means doing things the wrong way round or with the wrong emphasis or confusing cause and effect.

Yes!


There are those which believe that miners would encourage renewable projects, because they can just turn off during peak demand. As you said, they are finding solid PPAs on projects that already exist. Do you think this pattern will continue, as governments everywhere seem hellbent on misallocating capital to fund these renewable projects?


Exactly. I know it's a tired expression, but freedom ain't free.


I couldn't agree more.


It's a pipe dream. I care about the environment and take care of the land, but I always like to be alive.


Just a little food for thought. If my province were to hit the emissions and EV targets of our federal government by 2035, during this latest cold snap, our two biggest cities would have needed 2x the electricity we are currently generating. Province wide, we received emergency notifications to not use our stoves, unplug our cars, and minimize our electricity use. Stick that in your pipes and smoke it.


Imo, the last sentence will be the defining factor.


Good rule.


Ah, yes. Missed that…..


I am wondering if this might turn into the best way to search for notes on nostr? It's a lot fun to use!


Hi Craig, welcome!


Beautiful. Do you have a link to the Guardian article?

Is this your logo submission?


I don't think so.


And I know what you mean when you say “I feel I should have one in the collection”. Lol.


Lorier Neptune, without the date complication, looks interesting to me. I haven’t ventured much into microbrands though.


It’s going to be in the pluses at the end of the week. One week, and a 55 degree difference. Like wtf lmao!


Coyote fur is good too. Not as warm, and the colouring is cool.

Get a pair of beaver gloves and you will never be cold. They are too hot for any weather warmer than -25 and aren’t super functional, but you’ll never be cold.


They are bass proshops deer skin leather, with thinsulate liners.

It’s actually a single glove, as it warmed up yesterday. The beaver mitts were too warm.


Lmao. Exactly!


😂 don’t forget Odell’s GM notes. Why those need to be boosted, I don’t know?


We will not. Quote it instead 😀.


I agree, reposts can be very useful when used well, ie not reposting Jacks notes 😂, and I think that’s where most clients will end up. With a toggle.


Nope.


Yeah, exactly. It’s frustrating to scroll through the same reposts over and over on mobile, but I understand the usefulness of getting a note “seen”.


With the caveat, I still repost when using mobile, but when on coracle it’s much easier to get through the notes and catch up on things.


Yes, it’s intentional. You’d have to ask @hodlbod, but for me the benefit, at this stage of nostr, is that I don’t have to scroll past/read the same reposts over and over.

It takes more effort to quote, if you’re quoting something, you’re probably adding something to the context of the note, or adding your thoughts.


You can’t repost on Coracle. It’s a beautiful thing.

I do have a few others. I’ll take some pics when I get a chance. I’m into field and dive watches. I almost pulled the trigger on a fleiger as well. I find most chronos to be too big and there’s a little too much happening on the dial for me. I prefer a cleaner look.


Sure!

There’s a lot of moving parts. Aspects and inner workings that I’m not familiar with, but it seems like it’s all standard practice for exchange traded products.

I’m trying to learn as much as I can, so that I can actually approach the topic with a little understanding so as to discuss the topic, rather than just regurgitating the same trope.

They are here. They will be here. And they will 100 percent affect price. Price matters. We live in a world where money = power and to ignore it, is to our detriment. Bitcoiners need to be close to the power centers to affect change, and there’s a price to be paid to get there.


Ah brutal man. I hope you feel better soon!


Thanks! Tag #watchstr. It would be fun to have an ongoing conversation about watches!


https://thoughtful.purposeinvest.com/how-does-a-bitcoin-etf-work/amp/

“Demystifying clearing and settlement
We mentioned clearing and settlement a couple of times above. And while most people have a vague idea of what that means, breaking it down further is a worthwhile exercise if you really want to understand how a spot Bitcoin ETF works.

So, let’s peel back the layers a bit more.

First off, let’s make sure we understand what clearing and settlement means. Clearing is the process of reconciling daily transactions.
Settlement is the finalization of these transactions. In the context of a spot Bitcoin ETF, settlement occurs when bitcoin is titled to the buyer and money is transferred to the seller.

Clearing and settlement for Bitcoin/cash looks something like this:
The ETF Provider will agree upon terms to buy/sell crypto in bulk quantities with Crypto Trading Counterparties.
The Sub-Custodian will be informed about the trades and will proceed to settle and clear these trades. This involves receiving the cash and crypto from each party, verifying that each party provided the appropriate amounts and then releasing the cash/crypto to the other party.
This settlement and clearing process can take between minutes and one business day to occur.
When the settlement process is complete, the transactions are final and irreversible.
The role of a trusted intermediary (Sub-Custodian in this case) in the clearing and settlements process ensures that no one pays for something and does not receive what they’ve bought.”


It’s just the way that all ETFs function. I don’t think there’s a rule that it has to be settled within a certain timeframe.


A corn reborn?


Some settle in minutes, some by end of day, some in two days.


Thanks! It’s a fun little hobby to tinker around with.


Bring it.


Exactly. I’ve been watching it for a few days now. Gutted everytime 🤙😂

I’m glad that you have found that. Having a way to connect to something greater than ourselves is extremely important.


The central Algonquin, I think I may be getting it mixed up, used the fast to connect to the supernatural, but in an opposite type of context. They thought that they were so weak and vulnerable, that the spirits took pity on them and granted them their any wish.


A cleansing of the spirit to allow for connection to the supernatural. Fasting has been a ritual/rite of passage for many peoples.


Yeah, the mushrooms are a fast track, or bridge.

The others take a little more work on my part, but well worth it.


Well, they’ve been rewired a few times 😂

I think it’s important to be critical of oneself, but to also give yourself time to change. It’s not an easy thing to do. Our behaviours/personalities are deeply engrained, especially when we are older.

The key is to ask the questions you do. To be self aware of what areas we can be better, and then developing an actionable plan, like you said. In my experience, quick fixes are typically short lived.


I think you are well on your way. 💜🫂


I believe if you carry yourself with courage, generosity, endurance and wisdom, you will never have to demand respect. Others will simply give it to you.


I see it all the time in my classrooms with children.

There are those who other children follow, look up to, ask for help from, and genuinely respect, for no other reason than them just being who they are.

Others try to gain followers by being the class clown, bragging about their marks and accomplishments, etc.

I assume that this scenario carries into adulthood.


There is no such thing as emptiness in the world. Look to the sky with a child’s eye, and there are no vacant places. Everywhere there is life, visible and invisible, and every object possesses something that would be good for us. Even the stones beneath our feet.


It’s perfect 🤩

Ah, sorry, the phone thing threw me for a loop.

Put your phone away, forage for your tea ingredients (this could even mean at the market), heat your kettle outside over a fire (or gas stove), and drink your tea under a tree, or beside a stream.

Make it a ritual and you may find some benefits.


What????? It’s here, anytime you feel like it. 🤙


I was talking about tea? What are you taking about?


When a storm is approaching, or when you are caught in the middle of one, there isn’t any sense in flailing about. Instead, be still, be quiet, and let it pass over you. Don’t fight it, as it is much stronger than you. It’s best to embrace it and let it wash over you.

Russian roulette…….nah, cheese fondue with kids under nine 😂


We can heat our well insulated 900sqft of living space to 65-70°f using around 2 cords of wood each year with our Rocket Mass Heater. We typically wake up to 65°f and burn a fire in the morning and another fire in the evening. A "J" tube burn chamber covered by a 55gal barrel creates radiant heat as well as a thermal pump which forces exhaust gasses horizontally though ducting in a large box filled with pea gravel. The gravel extracts most of the heat from the exhaust radiating it out slowly after the fire burns out. By the time the exhaust reaches the chimney it's 120-200°f down from 300-500°f at the barrel. The combustion is nearly total so very little smoke is exhausted and maximum BTUs are used to heat the space. Built with materials found at most big box hardware stores Rocket Mass Heaters are cheap to build, easy to source, and incredibly efficient. It is the favorite contraption I've built on the homestead.

PS - I’ve educated a few friends and made the mistake outlined above. They start accumulating on an exchange, then it dips 10% over a weekend, they liquidate their holdings, and never come back. They lacked conviction, and I didn’t even get to the point of teaching them how to self custody.


I think the most important lesson is demonstrate what the problem is, and show btc fixes it. IMO it’s the only way for most people to be able to manage the emotional roller coaster and volatility.

If they start from this position, then they have more mind space for other things related to the topic of self custody etc., so this should be the backbone/foundation of any course.


That’s brutal. Sorry to hear that Guy.


They are evil, but bitcoin doesn’t give a shit. It’s been slaying dragons for a decade. This is just another goalpost on the road the global adoption.


What do you mean by actively traded? It’s spot, with btc in reserves, so they are always buying and selling btc. All of them.


Good morning! West coast winters are tough. 🤙🫂


Morning! Sweet jumper!


Unfortunately, I think there will always be a large group of people who won’t self custody, regardless of how “easy” it is, for the simple reason that they don’t want the responsibility. They would rather pay someone to hold it, have a false sense of security, rely on oversight and regulation to make them whole in the event of lost $, and not think about it.

Many of my friends who are DIY in so many areas of their lives, lean libertarian in their political views, distrust the government and corps, still won’t self custody. They keep it on exchanges, or hold the spot etf.

Unfortunately, I think they need to get wrecked to change their behaviours with regards to custody of their btc. I try my best, but pain is often the best educator.


It’s to have music playing in your status, so other people can see what you’re listening to
🤷♂


Feel better soon 🫂


Okay, yeah I am understanding you correctly.

There are still all the other people who would be holding the right btc and wouldn’t go along with that fork, or the reasoning of the rest of the folks you mention, as they wouldn’t have any incentive to do so.

I agree with you. Everyone should just avoid the ETFs, the shenanigans, and just buy and hold their own btc.

🤙


Goodnight!


You’re right


Welcome!


Sorry, I may not be following you correctly. If the etf providers fork Bitcoin and try to sell a non POW bitcoin, who is going to buy it?

If I’m understanding you correctly, you believe in the future that  they would hold enough sway to convince all the new buyers that their “btc” is the “real” Bitcoin?


I’m saying that millions of noderunners won’t run their fork.


I won’t run it.


Oh man, you’ve got to watch it! It’s immersive, so yeah, when you’re in the mood for it.


Have you seen 1917, or the behind the scenes on how that was filmed as a “single” shot? Amazing stuff!


Good night Dan


It was so good.


It never gets old!


GM Nostr! 🌞

A year ago today I made the call to shut down my startup. I had raised 800k, and I had a team of 5 people at the time. While it was a gut-wrenching decision, it wasn't a hard one. I had super supportive investors and a great team but the follow on funding just wasn't there for what we were building.

What's funny, is that when I look back on that period (and the hundreds of investor meetings I took in the months running up to that decision), I don't feel sad or angry, I feel happy and calm.

My company failing was what led me to Nostr. I had the time and the space to dig in and really understand the nascent protocol, which made the decision of going all in so early a no-brainer for me.

So today, on the anniversary of the death of my last company. I'm feeling very grateful. Grateful for the opportunity it gave me to find this protocol and this community. 🫂

LFG and build the future! 🚀

I have to drive or my kid will freeze 😂😂😂😂


I pulled over……FOMO…..shit I have to pick up a kid. I’m out!


Driving!!!!!


Driving home so I’m out on this round, you bunch of degenerates.


🖕with love 🖕 🐺⚡🐺


Ooooooops 🖕🖕🖕


I think I know. Here it comes.


No, I just see a profile zap but it’s mixed with others so I have no idea how much you sent?


Did you use the script to be able to zap notes?


I want to zap you back. What did you zap my profile?


Use the script


My zapper has gone soft


Did you zap my profile? I can’t tell how much? Why don’t you zap notes?


69 zaps on six minutes.

Not like the old day……


Here we go. I’ve got ten minutes. Let’s see what I can do. 7s for our friends.


😂😂 Godspeed friend. I’ve been there.


MARIE WTF…..I rattle the lioness’ cage and she whimpers, rolls over, and gives me her belly……..I thought I knew you 😢


You’ve gone soft Marie.


It was more of a little bro hug, eh? I appreciate you, you appreciate me, without saying it, cause that would be gay, but not, cause we can’t say that anymore, so now I’ll make it more awkward by saying, love ya you furry weirdo!


I love the volatility and mayhem. I just lay around loosy goosy and let the shitshow continue. Long weekend. Bitty going to Bitty!

I agree. Portion sizes, ingredients, and balance are more important. I’m not sure why NA is so diet crazy?


This is the case for many of my students. 💜


And me you!

We need to promote artists and get the word out. Keep’em coming!


Whoa! Delicious!


Exactly, I’ll leave it for the institutional investors to worry about 😂. I buy it so I don’t have to think about it 😂🤙


Im at work, but I’ll give it a listen on the way home!


You have to look at the number of shares per BTC.

The prices of a share multiplied by the number of shares per bitcoin should equal the current price of btc.

(Price of share) x (number of shares per BTC) = current price of BTC

But yeah I agree, just buy the real thing you idiots 😂

Shill away.

Calculus isn’t their thing


A student of mine just received a mark of 57% on their latest assignment, but this was doodled on the back.

This reaffirms my belief that if you spend enough time around someone, and you’re paying attention, you will eventually discover their hidden talents.

We all have things to discover and to share. https://image.nostr.build/84590894489c93b806c9e7b677a53ed20d58e4a48ae1975a1adadcf251f2542a.jpg


Yes, they do!


I’m going to have to start mine twice to make sure I can get home.

My tires were flat and square this morning. Fred flinstone, I was!


Drenched in maple butter 🤤


Zenith make nice watches. Way too expensive, but nice, nonetheless.


Love it. Tasty too!

I’ll take smoked caribou though, and muktuk is its own experience in and of itself.


Caribou, Tundra,  Kayak,.......a magical cacophony


Fed! Lol.

I'm not about it. It is, what it is, kind of a thing.


My wife just sent me vids of her walking out in the snow. When it gets this cold it squeaks. She was also blowing bubbles with our 2 year old, and they would turn to snow!

It’s tough but kind interesting too! 😂


How’s the baby? We had our first, up north during the winter too. Looking back, it was good timing because we would have been inside most of the time anyway for naps. It was always scary taking her out in -30 because we didn’t know if she was cold, or if she had skin exposed etc.


Just have to laugh at the ridiculousness of it. Like wtf, right?


-35 now, with wind chill -47 😂😂


Accoring to my students, it is colder than Antartica today. I'm not sure if we can trust their search skills though lol.


Yeah, I think it's too cold to snow lol.

Those are some pulling the kids behind the truck on tubes cms!


Hilarious!


No, bluebirds. Cold af, but not as bad as today.


Good morning!


Balmy. -46 here, with a high of -37 :):):)
Whisky weather.


😂😂 I’ll do the same!


Am I healthy?


They’ve been trading for half a day.😂😂


Lol, this is the best of me. :):)

It’s colder than Nunavut.

I’m having none of it.


Morning!


Peaceful

It is lol


Dogs gotta eat!


“Tuuuuuuuurn on the machines, and live forever. I’mmmmmm on TV”

Excellent intro!


Good morning. They must be soooooo cold!


😂😂 I’m glad the etf drama is over and we can focus on other things…….


Good night and good morning!


Share them with us.


Ps- that’s a beautiful pen


No problem. 😁


I use it with my fountain pens. Medium tipped works well and dries quickly. It isn’t too expensive and you can easily find it in multiple sizes and styles.


Good night Smuggler


Have you tried Rhodia paper. It’s smooth…..


Good night Dan

Shit and Amy Winehouse, of course


Or my “day”.


Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, Eryka Badhu….are more my vibe for female vocalists but aren’t really from my time.


Best singer, doesn’t mean I listen to them.


Female:
Whitney or Mariah

Male:
Kurt Cobain or
Chris Cornell


Do it, and let’s find out 🤗🤗


Arbitrage on price and fees. They’ll never f me.


There’s got to be some advantage right?

Definitely not structured as a trust. It’s an etf.


Canada’s had a spot for two years. Here’s an explainer:

https://thoughtful.purposeinvest.com/how-does-a-bitcoin-etf-work/amp/


Wrong kind of revolution.


It takes time for institutions to get approval.

When they do, lookout.

The revolution will be funded.


Canada’s had a spot, with 1:1 reserves, for a few years now. This covers how things are settled with intermediaries:

https://thoughtful.purposeinvest.com/how-does-a-bitcoin-etf-work/amp/


Depends on what words you have muted 😜🤗


Yes, but I think that they will be clearing and settling with the same sub-custodians when buying/selling bulk.


Or during the day.


Exactly.


I doubt you can understand either 😂


I know it’s from a Canadian spot ETF provider, but this may provide some answers, as they’ve been doing it for a few years:

I love watching you play chess.
