 You are very good at saying a lot with very little. I am not. So I write a lot. 
 Should I keep working on my custom relay or make more memes? 
 Memes. Let the nerds do the relays. You are good at memes. 
 Time and energy is limited so focusing is key  
 Then the world is all yours. I can't meme and can't code as good as you can.

 I noticed that not all, but actually most of your notes are political or talking about politics. Why not let it go?

 There is something called the f pattern. its natural/learned pattern of looking at things. From top left to right. this is why mempool is "backwards" because they want the important stuff to be on the Left side. Because its more natural to look there first.

Google f pattern for more info 
 Idk the answer to his question.  
 Brain reacts to images/patterns/visual 50k-60k times faster than words. That is one of the reasons why we have left and right. brain is 50% visual so bubble colors also help a lot. 
 If you are in nature, how much text do you see? Zero. If you are in nature, how much visual placements of things that do you see? All the time, all day, every day, Think about it. You see the sun on the left side of the tree and the shadow on the right side of the tree. You see dangerous animal on the left side of the river but you see food you can hunt on the right side of the river. If you walk down the wrong path away from family, you will get lost and you will die. It is literally difference between life and death. If you drive on the wrong side of the road you crash and die. There are many things that do not have sides, but we make them have sides. Like New York being on the right side of the map. You can flip the map any way you want. There is no left or right politics. It's just something we use for easier placement, easier understanding and faster processing.

Yes, we can use text and timestamps and all that. You are 100% right, yes we can. But we process visual placements even on a screen 60,000 times faster because our brains do not change just because we're using screens. 

Hope this helps 
 I don't know man, spending time and energy to mute people is very bad. And then again spending time and energy to unmute.

Why not just ignore what you don't like, and engage with what you like? You can't really control others.

Great example of this is napoleon he knew life is chaotic and unpredictable so he learned to be adaptable and deal with stuff. And found great success. Then later he became control freak and then suffered the biggest losses.

you cant control the world. But you can control yourself.

One thing that works is how you position yourself.
-If you are on twitter, instead of blocking everyone its much better to come to nostr. (Control yourself)
-If you see a lot of stuff you don't like. Engage with other npubs. Again, instead of trying to control the world, control yourself
-I don't like football so I spend 15 minutes a year talking about it (because of the way I position myself)(I follow you and I don't think you talk to much about football) 
 If 100 people are throwing footballs at you, instead of blocking everyone all the time just stand where there are no footballs coming at you. 
 Im just bad at writing. So its hard to read/understand meaning people spend time and energy and don't learn anything.

 It is broken not when some guy somewhere says "it's broken"

It is broken when it is obvious. For example. Value overflow incident. Or if millions of wallets suddenly start magically moving and everyone is freaking out.

When bitcoin is broken you will know. It will be clear. It will not be debatable.  
 Either everyone has freedom of speech or no one does.  
 If it really is that simple.

Please answer. Are we currently having freedom of speech for everyone or are we currently having freedom of speech for no one? 
 Simple and predictable is always the better option. 
 I wish life was black and white like that

 If people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.

 First amendment is just a piece of paper. It does not actually mean anything. It gets broken all the time. 
 I think a hard and fast rules are good. For example bitcoin has hard and fast rules.
