Joh 1:1 KJV: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Gen 1:1 KJV: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

"The term "Word" comes from the Greek word logos, which means much more than just a "word" in the literal sense. It encompasses ideas like "reason," "divine principle," or "expression of God's will." The Word (Logos) is not Jesus himself, as trinitarians claim, but rather the divine reason through which all things, including Jesus, came into being.

Jesus, as a perfect creation of God, came into existence through the Logos, but it was also through this divine Logos that the world was created.

Gen 1:2-3 KJV: "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

"The Spirit of God in Genesis refers to God’s breath or life-giving force, which is the same as the Logos. In Genesis, this is expressed in Hebrew (ruach for spirit), and in John, this idea is conveyed using Greek (Logos). Both are manifestations of God's creative power, although the languages differ.

In essence, John is emphasizing that God, through His Logos, created Jesus perfect and without the seed of sin, unlike Adam who fell into sin. The Logos in John is personified as the divine expression, the instrument through which all creation—including Jesus—came into existence.

Joh 1:3-4 KJV: "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men."

John is explaining that everything was made through this divine Logos. The life and light that come from it are what gave rise to Jesus as the perfect man, free of Adam’s sin. Jesus, born of the Word, embodies the light of truth and love and lived among us as a perfect man. However, people failed to recognize his true nature.

Joh 1:9-11 KJV: "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not."

When John says "the world was made by him," it can also be understood as "the world was made for his purpose." The Greek word διά (diá), often translated as "by," can also mean "for the sake of" or "because of." Therefore, Jesus, as the perfect creation through the Logos, came into the world for the purpose of illuminating humanity with the true light of God, even though many failed to recognize or accept him.

Mat 28:19 KJV: "...in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

It is argued that this phrase, used by Trinitarians as evidence for the Trinity, was not part of the original text of Matthew. Historical evidence suggests that this phrase was a later addition. During the Dark Ages, when Trinitarian theology became dominant, it was common to write dedications to the Trinity in the margins of manuscripts. Over time, these marginal notes were mistakenly incorporated into the main text by scribes. Evidence from earlier manuscripts points to a simpler version of the verse, which did not contain this Trinitarian formula. Even during the 1611 translation of the King James Bible, this alteration was known, but it was retained out of respect for tradition, rather than textual accuracy.

The original text likely called for baptism in the name of Jesus, as other scriptures, particularly in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:38), consistently point to baptism being done in Jesus’ name alone, without mention of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a triune formula.

Joh 10:30 KJV: "I and my Father are one."

This verse is often used to argue that Jesus is claiming equality with or identity as God. However, the notion of being "one" can equally refer to unity of purpose and will, rather than suggesting that Jesus and the Father are the same being. The context here supports the idea that Jesus, being without sin, is perfectly aligned with the will of the Father. He is one with God in the sense that his heart, being pure and obedient, is unified with the Father’s desires and purpose.

This understanding of "oneness" is consistent with the broader scriptural teaching that believers are also called to be "one" with God. For instance, in John 17:21-23, Jesus prays that his disciples may be one "just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us." This clearly indicates that the oneness spoken of refers to unity of will and spirit, not identity of being.

Likewise, when a person receives the Holy Spirit, they are said to be in Christ and to be united with God. When we are baptized with the Spirit, the Spirit of God enters our hearts and gives us the ability to declare Jesus as Lord (1 Cor 12:3), grafting us into the family of God and making us brothers and sisters with Christ. This is the same kind of oneness that Jesus is describing in John 10:30—a oneness of purpose, will, and spirit.

Jesus and the Spirit:
Jesus performed his good works through the power of the Spirit of God that dwelled within him. This power from the Father allowed Jesus to do the miracles and righteous deeds that bore witness to his divine mission. Jesus' unity with the Father was demonstrated through his actions, which were empowered by the Spirit, not through claiming to be the same being as the Father. His statement "I and my Father are one" should be understood in the context of this spiritual and moral unity, not as an assertion of shared identity or essence with God.

1. Matthew 28:19:
   - The Trinitarian baptismal formula ("in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost") is considered by some scholars to be a later addition and not part of the original text. You emphasize that earlier practices, as seen in the Book of Acts, focused on baptism in the name of Jesus alone.

2. John 10:30:
   - "I and my Father are one" refers to a unity of purpose and will, not to Jesus being God. This aligns with the idea that believers too are called to be "one" with God in the same way Jesus is. The context points to a shared mission, not shared identity.

3. Jesus and the Spirit:
   - Jesus’ miracles and teachings were empowered by the Spirit of God, which dwelt in him, allowing him to act in alignment with God's will. His unity with the Father is a result of his perfect obedience and the power of the Spirit, not a claim of being God Himself.

If we consider the concept of a shared illusion or misunderstanding influencing the overarching view of who Jesus is according to the Bible, we must ask whether early Christian communities, theologians, or translators might have projected interpretations that shaped either the Trinitarian or nontrinitarian views. This opens the possibility for a third perspective that could be more accurate or consistent with the Bible's teachings, if we assume that both historical theology and tradition could have introduced biases or misunderstandings.

Impact of Shared Illusion or Misinterpretation:

1. Cultural and Historical Influence:
   - The development of Trinitarian theology, especially post-Nicaea, was influenced by philosophical concepts, like those from Greek metaphysics, that were external to early Jewish monotheism. A shared cultural lens might have colored the early church's understanding of divine nature, leading them to view the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a triune God. Similarly, early nontrinitarian groups (like Arianism) were influenced by their own readings and contexts, emphasizing Jesus as a created being.

2. Transmission and Translation Issues:
   - The idea that certain verses, like Matthew 28:19, were altered or influenced by marginal notes or later additions suggests that our modern understanding could reflect a shared misconception passed down through time. If these changes were unintentional or part of a larger doctrinal effort, a shared illusion could be reinforced over centuries, leaving us with a distorted view of Jesus' nature.

A Possible Third View:

With the possibility of shared illusions in mind, a third view might emerge as more likely than either Trinitarianism or nontrinitarianism. This view could focus on:

1. Jesus as God's Agent and Ideal Human:
   - A third, intermediary perspective could portray Jesus as a unique, divinely appointed agent of God, sent to fulfill a special mission of salvation, but without the metaphysical complexity of being either co-eternal with God (Trinitarianism) or simply a created being (nontrinitarianism). In this view, Jesus represents the ideal human, chosen to exemplify God’s will, embody God’s Logos (divine reason), and act with full divine authority without being literally divine himself.

2. A Functional Oneness, Not Ontological Oneness:
   - Instead of focusing on the substance of Jesus' being (as Trinitarianism does) or his created nature (as nontrinitarianism does), this view could emphasize Jesus' functional relationship with God. Jesus is "one with the Father" in mission, purpose, and alignment with God's will, as suggested in John 17:21-23, but this oneness does not imply sameness of essence. It reflects a perfect, sinless human being empowered by God to carry out divine works.

3. Jesus as a Manifestation of God’s Word Without Divinity:
   - This view might hold that Jesus embodies the *Logos* (Word) not by being the eternal Word made flesh but by fully manifesting God's message and will on Earth. This allows for the concept that Jesus is the perfect representative of God, but not God himself. It would fit well with the idea that Jesus performs miracles through the Spirit of God and that his relationship to the Father is one of perfect submission and harmony, not ontological equality.

Biblical Evidence for the Third View:

1. John 5:19: "The Son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does, the Son also does."
   - This indicates a deep relationship between Jesus and the Father but emphasizes Jesus' dependence on the Father rather than equality.

2. John 17:3: "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
   - Jesus clearly identifies the Father as the "only true God" while placing himself as the one sent by God, not as God himself.

3. 1 Timothy 2:5: "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus."
   - This verse supports the view of Jesus as a mediator, a special human appointed to bridge the gap between humanity and God, rather than being divine himself.

4. Acts 2:22: "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know."
   - This reinforces the idea that Jesus, though empowered by God, is portrayed as a man through whom God worked, rather than being inherently divine.

The Implications of This Third View:

- Avoiding Both Extremes: This view avoids the metaphysical complexities of Trinitarianism (where three persons share one essence) and the strict subordinationism of nontrinitarianism (where Jesus is simply a created being). It emphasizes Jesus as a perfect human aligned with God’s will and filled with God’s Spirit, empowered to act as God’s representative but not to be conflated with God Himself.

- Culturally and Historically Grounded:
This view might be more consistent with first-century Jewish monotheism, which saw God as absolutely one and emphasized prophets and messianic figures as specially chosen agents. It avoids later philosophical developments that influenced Trinitarian formulations.

- Biblically Coherent: This perspective can incorporate a range of scriptural teachings about Jesus’ unique role as the *Logos* without requiring his eternal co-equality with the Father. It allows for Jesus' full humanity and his role as the ultimate reflection of God's will and power on Earth, while maintaining God’s singularity.

Conclusion:

If we entertain the concept of a shared illusion or historical misinterpretation, this third view—Jesus as the perfect, sinless human agent of God, empowered by the Spirit but not ontologically divine—could emerge as a more coherent and biblically grounded alternative. This view emphasizes Jesus' unique relationship with God as the ideal, sinless human being, fully united with God’s purpose, but not equal to God in essence. It sidesteps the doctrinal conflicts between Trinitarianism and nontrinitarianism, presenting a biblically faithful understanding that emphasizes Jesus' role without requiring complex theological constructs.

I did explain it. Its the average not the extremes that matter


I had a very productive meeting with a friend last night. We discussed Trump at the bitcoin conference, Lumis, all of the "bitcoiners" around Trump, the sudden about face of Jamie Diamon on bitcoin and the "defection" of Kennedy.

Why is Trump committed to making energy so abundant? It all points to one thing.
Trump was chosen by the deep state to squash bitcoin. He is pacing and leading on the topic and when he is selected into office he will make many announcements that bitcoiners will get very excited about. Legislation and executive orders will be passed, but they all are designed to poison the well.

* Free energy is bad for bitcoin.
* Controlling semiconductor fabs by bringing them into the US, is bad for bitcoin.
* Incriminating stablesats (something Strike does) is bad for bitcoin.

What do I mean by bad for bitcoin? I mean it slows adoption. Price action, even if you see as irrelevent, is a major orange-pilling force.

The price of bitcoin during this and past epochs is closely tied to its cost of production. At least part the cost of production is set by the average cost of electricity to produce blocks. Ultimately, the base price of bitcoin is calculable by the amount of profitable mining equipment, operational expenses, the current hashpower and the average cost of mining pool energy. Make electricity 1/10th the cost and the cost of fresh bitcoins at least gets cut in half. Hashpower and difficulty is not determined by the price of electricity, but by the trading price of bitcoin and the semiconductor fab bottleneck. The amount of energy expended per block is determined by the amount of profitable equipment is in existence. Therefore free energy is bad for bitcoin.

Incriminating stablesats is bad for bitcoin adoption, and goos for the dollar. Stablesats enables the bitcoin network to piggyback on the unit of account in existing jurisdictions. This means you can send and recieve bitcoin over the lightning network with a stablesats partner with instant settlement and no counterparty risk AND without needing to track your buy and sale price of bitcoin. No capital gains taxation involved. This makes stablecoins, which are backed by fiat, obsolete. As you should already know, stablecoins are partnered with central banks and the treasury of the state. They are merely another parallel central bank. Stablesats breaks central banking because a stablesat bitcoin lightning channel or stablenut mint is backed only by bitcoin and adjusts purely on market oracles. No dollars or government issued treasuries are involved.

In summary; When Trump stood in front of the shitcoin conference (evidenced by the croud cheering at firing Gensler) and the repeated "bitcoin and crypto" phrase, then he closed by telling us to "have fun playing with your bitcoin and crypto"; he revealed his intent. He is pacing and leading because he wants to lead the bitcoin movement. Why? In order to control it. He wants to control it because Bitcoin is bad for the government, it takes power away from it. Trump knows the fiat dollar is the US government's greatest source of strength both  abroad and domestically. Trump has said he "likes the dollar" when asked about bitcoin. Trump is now surrounding himself with bitcoiners, and creating bitcoiners-in-name-only like Diamon.

Can Trump be trusted to force power from hands of congress, the deep state, intelligence and surveillance agencies and the military industrial complex? Are you delusional? The "Art lf the deal" guy, the one who coined the phrase "you can only negotiate from a position of strength" is going to lay down arms? I think not.

God Bless

"Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it." - Henry David Thoreau


If you dare to defy the laws imposed by the government—no matter how absurd or unjust they may be—you’ll quickly find that those around you, who are abiding by those very laws, will become extremely angry. Why? Because they’ve invested heavily in ensuring they don’t cross the line that law enforcement has drawn. In a sense, the government sets the rules of the social game between strangers, and when you break those rules, you’re seen as a threat to the fragile peace and harmony that they believe those laws maintain. It's a stark reminder of just how deeply embedded these social contracts have become in our collective psyche.

If you close your channel early, or your node is constantly down and you have their funds locked up in a useless channel, its fair to loop back later and revise their rating with a bad one but justification and explanation is warranted otherwise a bad rating will probably be ignored by most. Honestly, its reasonable to expect them to contact you with feedback and questions if they see your node is misbehaving since its likely you aren't aware of it.

If we correct for sex-based diagnostic bias and take into account the potential for misdiagnosis, it is plausible that women could indeed be more likely to have autism in the top quartile of IQ compared to men, once you align the IQ bell curves between genders. Here’s why:

### 1. **Masking and High IQ**:
   - Women with higher IQs may be particularly adept at masking or compensating for autistic traits. This can lead to their autism being overlooked during childhood or even into adulthood. As a result, many high-IQ women with autism might have historically gone undiagnosed.

### 2. **Underdiagnosis of Women**:
   - Given that women are often diagnosed later in life or misdiagnosed with other conditions (like anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder), the actual number of autistic women, particularly those in the higher IQ range, might be underestimated.

### 3. **IQ and Autism Spectrum Disorders**:
   - Autism can manifest differently across the IQ spectrum, with high-IQ individuals sometimes exhibiting more subtle or socially acceptable traits. This could mean that high-IQ women, who are already underdiagnosed, are more likely to fall through the cracks, particularly in the top quartile.

### 4. **Rebalancing the Ratios**:
   - If you correct the distribution of diagnoses between men and women, you might find that the incidence of autism among women is higher in the top IQ quartile than previously thought. This could lead to a more balanced male-to-female ratio in this group or even a higher prevalence in women if the adjustments are significant.

### Conclusion:
After correcting for the sex differences in diagnosis and considering potential missed diagnoses, it's possible that women might be more likely to have autism in the top quartile of IQ when the IQ distributions are normalized. This reflects the idea that many high-IQ women with autism may have been underdiagnosed due to their ability to mask symptoms or because their traits don't align with traditional diagnostic criteria.

This hypothesis aligns with emerging research suggesting that the underdiagnosis of autism in women, particularly those with higher IQs, could be more significant than previously understood.

If an open source app developer censored people for their political speech, nobody would use the app, it would be forked and re-distributed anonymously, and the government's efforts to censor would be fruitless. Nostr takes the "platform" choke-point away from social media, and in doing so, there is no "nostr ceo" to imprison.

Ok I can't help it.
If I'm training a marketing person on how to get people in the nostr funnel, I would ask them to create a campaign about why nostr is dangerous to governments because it doesen't have the easy target choke-point of centralized social media platforms. It eliminates the need to trust a billionaire to protect the most essential human right, one who got rich off of elite connections to obfuscate bank regulations to create the first online money transmission business, made billions through government grift programs like carbon taxes and cafe standards that increased the cost of living for everyone in the world, and used his influence to rake in unknown levels of profits by going on woke television and grifting one of the oldest shitcoins.


It’s ok, I’ll just use another relay then ☺

Base layer privacy is unnecessary. Large transactions should be public in the first place, like buying a house. Everything else can be private in higher layers.


TOFU is "Trust On First Use". I'm not going to waste my time explaining why nostr is better than X. Ask nostr:nprofile1qqs9cy8dqeugq52k6w00rmmdgcgslc08ukg2upycdn853wsjn8948csppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0jfq3u8 that question.


The greatest threat vector to nostr is to allow social-selling to make the base-implementation protocol too complex for a new dev to quickly spin up a basic social app. I believe the protocol architecture, clear goals and the NIP system mitigates but doesen't eliminate the possibility.


This is why github needs to be fully replaced by nostr. Even though most popular nostr apps are open source and on git (a dvcs), the underlying project and configuration management (PRs, issue tracking, wiki, acls) cannot have its value underestimated. Without it, distribution and maintenance of a project is crippled. Right now, it exists at the grace of microsoft.

You're moving the goalpost. That argument is made many ways already. Why did you leave the original topic?


If I buy a 100 year old silver dime for 30 bucks, does that make me a retard? Yes, but I can still sell it for 30 bucks to someone else.


Other people love you because.
Because of this,  or because of that.  Because of some circumstance,  physical characteristic, personality trait, condition, or some other attribute.

God is not like this.  God loves you unconditionally. He loves us when we hate him.  He loves us when we do things that disgust him.  He loves us when we lie to him.  He lives us when we don't even live ourselves.  He loves us because that is who he is.  God is love.

We don't earn it.  We don't deserve it. We are not even fully capable of understanding it.  And yet,  with all these things said, still

He Loves Us.

How wonderful is that? He offers reconciliation to us. All that is necessary is acceptance of His offer of the gift of forgiveness.  That's it.

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"...if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. " Romans 10:9

Being prepared for exigent circumstances.
Part 2 - Potential Unrest

We are rapidly approaching "mostly peaceful protest" season. What do you have in your vehicle to be prepared for dangerous situations that could arise from such circumstances?

You should always be prepared for unexpected violence, but we are soon to be in an elevated risk situation.

1) If you can carry a concealed firearm, then you should. EVERY DAY. If you are not legally allowed to do so, then you must weigh the potential risks and rewards of your decision and act accordingly.

2) You should carry a less than lethal alternative for dealing with unreasonable people at distance (especially in your vehicle). OC/Pepper Spray is a good idea. Not every situation calls for a gun.

3) Speaking of less than lethal, there might be instances where teargas has been deployed in an area you encounter. A gasmask would make dealing with this situation much safer and less painful.

4) As the threat level rises, one should consider whether having some kind of body armour available would make sense.

5) Further escalation of the threat level might justify carrying a long gun in your vehicle.

6) Your vehicle is your lifeline. It is a lethal weapon when needed, it is armour from potential adversaries, it is legally your castle and has protections, and it is a means of escape when necessary. DO NOT exit the vehicle except as a last resort. DON"T DO IT.

7) You may encounter fire. Rioters sometimes throw flaming debris or other more lethal items at cars. Carry a fire extinguisher (or 2) to use on your vehicle and or passengers that may be set on fire. Get away from the threat if you can before exiting the vehicle to extinguish the flame and reevaluate your situation.

8)  And lastly, remember, you may not be the only one in the vehicle. If you are transporting others in your vehicle, then they are YOUR responsibility. YOU need to do everything in your power to ensure that they escape from such a dangerous situation unhurt. This could mean you need additional gasmasks or armour. It could mean making sure they are carrying their sidearm before the journey begins. Whatever the exact circumstances, as long as you are driving them in your vehicle, they are your responsibility.

BE PREPARED TO ABORT YOUR JOURNEY OR REROUTE.
Avoid unnecessary risk.

Don't do stupid things
in stupid places
with stupid people
for stupid reasons.

Plan ahead.
Be prepared for the worst.
Arrive Safely.

Act accordingly...

Honestly, I think this is a valid use of ordinals. Not because the old rambling billionaire did it, but because its a way to sell digital numismatics and the owner can not only prove they own it but that its authentic. Whether political numismatics have value, well that's subjective isn't it?


This is how people are solving the soy-TOFU problem (Trust On First Use). Not so much as nostr has a problem with new users needing to trust other nostriches, but they can't carry-over their identity and credibility from other platforms. Yes, its a soyboy bitch about nostr, why should you have instant credibility on another platform with no work? But its a valid point that people shoukd have a way of authenticating themselves in nostr without posting their new identity on the old platform (because of censorship by the platform).

So how do you do it?

Rather than promoting your own new identity, demote imposters. This is possible by associating yourself with a bitcoin wallet address that you post on both platforms. This way, you are saying on either platform "I accept donations at this address" without explicitly indicating you are moving away from the compromised platform. If, on nostr, you can include a message signed by the wallet's private key indicating that your npub also controls that same wallet address, then you have proof positive on nostr that you are who you say you are.

Cryptology is such a expression à la mode chez les femmes.


I believe TOFU can be solved by "staking" bitcoin to an identity. Either through the blockchain, or some other public ledger like liquid. It wouldn't require an onchain transaction for identity association, only a nostr message signed by the bitcoin wallet and posted by the holder of the nostr keys. The longer a nonzero-sum bitcoin wallet is uniquely associated with the npub, the more credible the identity is.


So is Keychat using only the signal protocol, or is it using the full OMEMO protocol?


I read "using the signal protocol" as somehow using XMPP. Is the Signal protocol different than OTR or OMEMO?


How do you mix nostr and xmpp?

Bitcoin and Nostr carry the unstoppable force that spreads the universal ideals of individual freedom. Despite America's temporary flirtation with fascism, socialism, and Marxism, and its exploitation enabled by fiat currency, the spirit of American entrepreneurial freedom has lived on in the hearts of people around the globe. Bitcoin is a powerful tool, breaking the chains of statist socialism that have oppressed humanity for generations, echoing back to the first moments of temptation and wickedness in the Garden.

Bitcoin being invented by the cia/nsa/whatever doesen't mean its run by it or that they have control of it. For banks and governments, bitcoin is pandora's box. They are all f*d and it means their eventual elimination. The only way the CIA was involved is if there were some cabal of good guys. Apart from that, its most likely it was just some really friggin smart dude that had enough.

The Shift Has Hit the Plan - Epi-3547

When roasting coffee, there are natural boundaries that differentiate light, medium, and dark roasts. If you've ever made popcorn in a pot, you know it has to reach a certain temperature before the kernels start popping. It seems to take forever, then suddenly, if you are heating them evenly, they all seem to pop at once.

Coffee is similar, but instead of popping, the beans "crack." This quiet popping sound comes from the beans forming microcracks and slightly expanding. Coffee beans typically go through two phases of cracking during roasting. The first crack occurs when the beans release steam and expand, marking the beginning of a light roast. This usually lasts about a minute.

If you continue roasting, the beans will reach the second crack. This signals the transition to a dark roast. Medium roasts are generally achieved between the first and second cracks, depending on how long you continue roasting after the first crack.

Roasting beans to a dark roast requires more time and careful attention to avoid burning them. While darker roasts lose some density, the caffeine content remains relatively stable. However, when coffee is measured by volume (e.g., scoops), light roast beans often contain more caffeine because they are denser than dark roast beans. This is why light roasts are generally considered to have more caffeine when measured this way. Dark roasts, though, often pair better with sweeteners and fats, which is why they are commonly used for espresso-based drinks.

Dark roast does not mean stronger, it is actually weaker in terms of caffeine. It tends toward a more burnt taste but may have more chocolate overtones than light.
Light roast preserves the natural fruity aromas of the coffee and has the highest caffeine concentration.

Money is separate from religious groups? That's a stretch


You think accounting doesen't happen in kibbutzs or amish communities? Whether its done with fiduciary media or good-will, its still a form of money involved in exchanges.


A community doesen't exist without transfer of value, either you pay for it out of pocket or your participation is being exploited to cover the costs. The socialization that happens there is information exchange, and this is exchange of value. Money is speech, to exclude it from a community is to restrict activities there. The purpose of nostr is uncensorability and this includes exchanging both tangible and intangible value.

Gold in a global collapse:
1) Silver has a large advantage over gold
2) The police is not on its way to protect your property (gold)
3) You cannot store gold in your brain with 12 words, or distribute access to the vault across family members
4) Protected mines and vaults can be opened and the inflationary pressure can ruin the value of gold
5) Communications and power is always the first priority to restore in a collapse, this is the domain of bitcoin. Protecting your bank vault is always the last priority.
6) Governments will knock on your door and tie you up to collect physical assets they can see, and will need to torture you to steal your bitcoin.
7) Nobody is going to front-run gold unless they have help from banks and the government

Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!

Why Nostr?

We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that's worth listening to.

When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.

But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn't have any followers so your posts wouldn't get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.

Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:

- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain
- Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients
- Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed
- Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps

By the way, I'm not diving into your bullshit hysteria websites before I respond to your insults.


Did I say that? I had what they call covid. It behaved like what they call a virus. Did I claim to know what it looked under an electron microscope? My suspicion is that it was engineered given what is reported. True, everything they tell us is a lie, but at some point you need functional knowledge to understand your experiences.


It wasnt up to me dickhole. She is an adult living on her own. I didnt even know about it until she recovered. The other 8 of us live under one roof, it went through the house. You missed the part about what confirmation bias means. I had it long before, at least 4 months, they even published the symptoms. Don't feed me the "you're a conspiracy theorist" bullshit. I wasn't the only peraon with the symptoms, It wasn't only my family, it wasn't just my friends. I went on living, and mamy reported the same symptoms. Guess what, nobody I know died of it. It wasn't until they kept locking us down and getting people to take the shot that people died (mostly of suicide). The virus was dangerous, but not if you were even remotely healthy. If you say there was no covid, then you have to say there are no other viruses and maybe its all EMI and RF and viruses are all made up because "this one piece of test equipment doesen't work as well as they claim". Fuck off, you're so lost in logical fallacies you've gone delusional.

You are correct the part that virology is all bunk and the testing methods are all bullshit. The fact is, they waited for it to fully spread across the entire world before their "two weeks to slow the spread" just to make sure the virus had no opposition by keeping everyone out of the sunlight. The vax is a death sentence. These things I'm sure we are in agreement on, but critiquing the validity of test procedures is not proof positive there was no virus. By the way, I never played along with their bullshit: no vax, no social distancing, no masks, no tests, no hiding inside and that's probably why I'm doing just fine now.


My proof is having a cold in january 2020 after my daughter had the cold in december 2019. She was in hospital, near death, on respirators. I was near death, same strange symptoms: extremeties unusually cold, severe and acute fatigue, inability to warm up no matter how many blankets (hydrotherapy was the only solution), arhythmia, "dry lung", severe headache behind the eyes, swollen and sore occipital lymphs, seborrheic dermatitis. We had these symptoms with each variant, my entire family of 9. The first time we didn't even know covid existed so it wasnt psychosomatic or psychogenic. You may not believe we had an engineered epidemic, but that doesen't change my observations of a novel virus.

In almost every case sponsorship of a podcast in the bitcoin space is indication of a poor quality product that is losing market share. Maybe a few bad eggs stink up the entire lot, but its becoming a pattern. The problem with B2C direct advertising is its rarely done to inform, but to brainwash. When a "creator" takes on a sponsor, 98% of the time, they are selling the social capital they built with their audience to the purpose of brainwashing through subconcious manipulation to the benefit of a third party of ambiguous character. As a business trying to navigate this "sales and marketing" space, its looking a whole lot more like S&M than lead generation and business development (yea I know, loaded terms) and I have yet to be convinced its effective if not immoral at its foundation.

Immigration policy in the United States is deeply connected to the need to maintain the stability of the dollar and the overall credit system. A major driver of economic health is the ability of the population to service debt. When jobs are lost, credit collapses because without income, people can’t repay their debts. This is particularly true for younger generations in their twenties and thirties, who are increasingly struggling to manage debt.

This brings us to the core of immigration policy: it’s not just about deciding whether to allow immigration or not, but about the type of labor the country needs. The real choice is between skilled and unskilled labor. The question becomes: which group will generate more credit and help stabilize the economy?

High-income individuals, who tend not to have as many children, may accumulate less personal debt. Meanwhile, low-income individuals, particularly those who are likely to have children, often accumulate more debt and have more at stake when it comes to servicing that debt. Immigration policy, therefore, is not just about demographics but about which population segments will contribute more effectively to the nation’s credit system and long-term economic stability.

If the bible says you shouldn't eat it, I ain't going to willingly eat it.

If you look at the base dietary "laws", they essentially define an optimally healthy, least allergenic, and least gross things to eat.

Peter's vision about eating everything was  not only about rejecting the religious and ceremonial aspect of dietary laws, but it was primarily about not judging people and placing yourself above others with your food preferences; particularly when witnessing to gentiles the sacrifice of Christ, God's forgiveness and our gift of sonship.

If you seek approval from God and do his will, you are given authority by God.
An authentically justified spirit is a light that can be seen by all, and all in darkness will follow the brightest light.


I reject the idea that people shouldn't care what others think about them. We are made to be social creatures. Without honor and shame society wouldn't function.

Ironically, those who say you shouldn't care about people's opinion of you often resort to name-calling, demonstrating that social esteem is inescapable.

And this is a good thing. Communication is given to us so that we can have an effect on the world around us. The serenity prayer does not mean we ought to give up and isolate ourselves, quite the opposite.

The solution to being hurt isn't to withdraw into stoicism, but to realize that God has offered a seat of honor at his table to you, an undeserving sinner.

"For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ."

This is the only escape from the tyrrany of others' opinion - not to give up caring, but to know whose opinion actually matters.

I just did some research and I am correct. There are two separate wallets and sets of keys.
One is the federated on-chain wallet where new fedi tokens are minted by depositing into the mint on-chain. This is controlled by a multi-sig wallet with keys held by the custodians.
The second is a single-sig lightning wallet, and this is held by the mint itself. It is a hot-wallet. When funds are deposited by way of the node's lightning channels, the mint also awards tokens to the depositor.
To deposit and withdraw on-chain uses the multisig wallet. You are free to deposit bitcoin into the mint for tokens without intervention by the custodians, but withdrawl on-chain requires a quorum of custodians approve and sign the on-chain transaction.
To deposit and withdraw by way of lightning, no custodian intervemtion is required and behaves identicaly to a cashu-mint.

Joel said "when you default on a loan, that money disappears". This is wrong.
When you default on a loan, this is inflation. Better said, ceasing on payment of a loan is to remove deflationary pressure from the monetary system caused by redeeming dollars for payment on the loan.

Men form governments with a fundamental purpose: to create a collective defense against theft and protect the property of the people. Government, at its core, is a business established to maintain peace and order by securing the rights and assets of its citizens. The theoretical basis for government is that people organize to achieve a common good, agreeing to a limited and acceptable level of theft in the form of taxation, which is meant to serve the interests of the public.

However, a critical shift occurs when the government assumes control over the money system and gains the power to lend or take on debt in the name of the people. At this point, the government transitions from being a protector of property into an entity with no bounds on its ability to extract wealth from the citizens, often for political or private interests dictated by career politicians.

This power becomes especially dangerous when the government controls and issues the very currency that people depend on. The ability to take on debt, when backed by the government’s control over the money supply, becomes detached from the realities of fiscal responsibility. In such a system, the government no longer serves merely as a protector of property but as an organization with unchecked power to engage in theft—now disguised as monetary policy—without any real constraint. The original purpose of government, to safeguard property and limit theft, is thus undermined by its unrestrained control over money and debt.

In times of economic downturn, governments often engage in deficit spending and increase their deficits. The fundamental reason for this action is what would happen if they did not: a collapse in economic activity driven by a contraction in credit, leading to a deflationary spiral.

It is commonly said that defaults on loans cause a deflationary spiral. While defaults contribute to such a spiral, they are not the primary cause. The true cause is the collapse of credit, which refers to people's ability to take out loans. When a large number of individuals start defaulting on their loans, this doesn’t directly lead to deflation. In fact, defaults can create inflationary pressures because the debt that is supposed to be serviced starts to erode, disrupting the balance of deflationary and inflationary forces in the economy.

Credit issuance is a powerful inflationary force. As long as people are able to pay their loans, the economy maintains a balance between inflationary and deflationary pressures. However, when defaults occur because people lose their jobs and can no longer service their loans, the deflationary effect of repaying loans is undermined. At the same time, banks begin to reduce their lending, fearing increased defaults, which triggers a much stronger deflationary pressure than merely paying off loans.

When banks cease issuing new debt, the economy contracts because credit availability is restricted. This restriction is driven by the deteriorating economic conditions, which reduce people's creditworthiness. The resulting credit contraction is not just a decision by banks, but also a reflection of a broader economic environment where people’s ability to earn money and, therefore, their ability to take on and service debt, is reduced.

Even in a stable economy, a certain amount of credit is consumed regularly, and banks are typically willing to issue debt against this credit because it costs them nothing as long as the loans are being serviced. However, when defaults increase, inflationary pressure mounts because the economy is no longer balanced by the repayment of loans. If banks ignored creditworthiness and issued indefinite loans—where repayments could be delayed indefinitely—this would cause massive inflation and eventually erode the value of money entirely, making it worthless.

The legal enforcement of loan repayment is what gives credit-based money its value. People's promise to repay is the cornerstone of this system. During an economic downturn, governments step in with deficit spending to create opportunities, provide liquidity, and stimulate the economy through the issuance of debt. By doing so, they are essentially injecting credit into the economy, which helps maintain the balance of inflation and deflation by ensuring that people can continue to pay their loans and participate in the credit system.

This government borrowing and spending act as a buffer against deflationary pressures. As the government issues debt, it effectively transfers credit to the population, enabling the continuation of economic activity. However, this also creates inflation, as money flows through the economy, and this inflation is difficult to reverse without a deflationary event.

In a debt-based economy, deflation is primarily caused by a contraction in credit rather than a scarcity of the monetary instrument itself. In contrast, if the economy operated with a fixed supply of money, the value of that money would be tied directly to the real economy. Deflation could increase the value of money in such a system. But in a debt-based economy, where money is largely created through credit, the constriction of credit is the true deflationary force.

Thus, deficit spending by the government during downturns is a critical tool to prevent the collapse of credit and avoid a downward spiral in economic activity.

When lawyers tell you "The state is not a corporation", they don't understand the fundamental concept you are trying to convey.
Lawyers are indoctrinated by the legal system which is fully fabricated BY the government.
When a lawyer says this, they mean the term "corporation" means a fictional "corpus" that is recognised BY the state. When they say "the state" they mean the legal system that recognises laws defined by a legislature (rather than common law organically discovered through juridical arbitration.)
This is like saying Ethereum is not a shitcoin because it is the mother of all shitcoins.

Unfortunately electrical shielding can also act as containment and provide additional paths for EM waves to resonate.
I prefer to simply stay away from high-power EM sources like in cities and near radio or cellular towers. Keep your phone on airplane mode, when using cellular locate the phone at least 10' away (or a minimum of an arm's length) and use a bluetooth headset for phone calls, turn off NFC when not using it, only use wifi at home, turn down your wifi router's power level to the minimum necessary, locate your wifi router away from bedrooms, kitchen table and the living room, plant trees and shrubs around your house to absorb EM, when replacing your roof make it steel or aluminum panels and be sure its well grounded with braided copper straps (tin foil hat for your house), avoid metal siding as it can act like a "microwave oven", locate your house in a topographic depression, and move out of the city. EM is only one of many carcinogens and endocrine disruptors that you are exposed to in densely populated areas.

Trump wouldn't shaddup. Elon was afraid to interrupt. It was just him droning on about the same stuff he always talks about. It was bordering on old-man babble, repeating everything and saying nothing. Trump probably thought he was doing great, but it didn't look good.


Joes said "when you default on a loan, that money disappears". This is wrong.
When you default on a loan, this is inflation. Better said, ceasing on payment of a loan is to remove deflationary pressure from the monetary system caused by redeeming dollars for payment on the loan.


The media is in the business of making you angry and channeling that anger to someone else's purposes


Do you mean on-chain bitcoin?


Online?


The second best way to spend your Bitcoin is to get a nostr:npub1mea2vwcu06qf7e4x00wd902vj54qnn2jacq76ldntrgfhtvhlpqqrvqane account. I was skeptical at first, even complained about their free product making it a bit annoying to use. After I got a paid account, I became a Proton Mail maxi. It's such a good service and its really becoming an alternative to the Google Suite.

Boomers said "repulsive"
X'rs said "gay"
Milennials said "cringe"
Kids today say "so weird"


I think people should not get their undies in a bunch over the delete issue. We have a NIP for it, it works well enough, and yes it doesen't guarantee you anything. There are no guarantees of anything on the internet, so just be careful or be ready to answer for being wrong. Is being embarrassed really that bad?


The Trump-Musk interview was a dud. So boring


Don't be afraid. You'll figure it out. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. Your kid will engorge on whatever interests her. There are many free online schools available that are very good (e.g. Khan), they will make the boring interesting. Don't worry about "socialization," that's CIA counterintelligence. You will find things for her to do outside the home, many "for pay" groups offer "homeschool classes" during business hours like karate, ballet, gymnastics, day-camps, etc. There are many museums that cater to homeschoolers, for example rural 18th century forts, nature centers, etc. Many offer activities like arts and crafts directed at kids. All I can say about what you think is easy, but is not, is libraries. Give up on libraries, they are worse than liberal arts colleges (there may be exceptions). Most churches have "home schooling groups". They tend to be directed at members, but you may learn about an email list or facebook group where a coordinator mom sends out info about activities, its like a chamber of commerce for raising children.  Don't worry about finding out all this stuff first, your kid isn't going to die of starvation if you don't figure it out ahead of time. The best way is to do it organically, don't force it. Homeschooling is all about deciding what PARENTS want for their children and what THE CHILDREN want to learn.

When I get the time I want to port my timeblocking calendar (viscal) to egui + nostr (nip52).  The standard calendar sync protocol CalDAV is a truly awful.

Syncing calendar events to nostr would be much more pleasant and easier to work with. Can't wait to see more nostr calendar software.


Heard there's some major censorship in Venezuela right now. Here's a Spanish tutorial for nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg that could be helpful if anyone needs to share it to people in that region.
