Like leaving cookies for Santa


Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub;
It is the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.

Lao Tzu


Take it all in. Every moment counts.

"The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it."

"A good tool is an invisible tool. By invisible, I mean that the tool does not intrude on your consciousness; you focus on the task, not the tool.”

Both remarks made by renowned computer scientist and former CTO of the legendary Xerox PARC, Mark Weiser, in 1997 and 1993, respectively.

For Bitcoin, Lightning, nostr… this is the destination. The work is not done until we’ve arrived.

“We are called upon to do something new, to confront a no man's land, to push into a forest where there are no well-worn paths and from which no one has returned to guide us. This is what the existentialists call the anxiety of nothingness. To live into the future means to leap into the unknown, and this requires a degree of courage for which there is no immediate precedent and which few people realize.” - The Courage to Create by Rollo May

Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be acheived unless we first establish peace within our own minds. We can send so-called 'peacekeeping forces' into areas of conflict, but peace cannot be oppossed from the outside with guns. Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world.

I wasn’t old enough to understand politics and the weaponization of terrorist events when 9/11 occurred. Even if I was old enough, I don’t know where I would’ve gotten information in 2001 other than the consensus narrative. I’m glad that today, even with decaying legacy social media platforms, information is accessible and a conclusion other than popular opinion can be developed. #nostr

Goal: Create governance first principles for AI to build on top of. Like slime mold in a petri dish for governance.


“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”
Mahatma Gandhi


People keep comparing the US to the fall of the Roman Empire. I understand the similarities but I disagree in the outcome. I see the US becoming nation states after its fall. Whereas the Roman Empire combined nation states, collapsed, and fell to invaders.


45 consecutive weeks on the #peloton 💪🏻


Yesterday, Ross Ulbricht began his 11th year in prison.

For running a website.

His story remains largely unknown among normies. But his story holds important lessons.

Ulbricht was not your typical criminal.

He held a master's degree in materials science and engineering and had a deep interest in libertarian economic theory, particularly the Austrian economic school.

He used to participate in college debates to discuss his economic views.

In 2011, he embarked on a journey to create Silk Road, an anonymous online marketplace where people could buy anything without leaving a trace.

On his LinkedIn page, he mentioned creating an "economic simulation" to offer people a taste of a world without systemic force.

To maintain anonymity, Silk Road operated on the Tor network, masking its server's location. Transactions occurred in Bitcoin, providing an additional layer of privacy.

This allowed people to buy and sell various items, from drugs to fake IDs, without fear of exposure.

Law enforcement infiltrated Silk Road, and in 2013, Ross was arrested at a San Francisco library.

He faced a laundry list of charges, including running a criminal enterprise, narcotics conspiracy, money laundering, and computer hacking conspiracy.

In the end, Ross received not one but two life sentences, plus 40 years, and had to pay $183 million in restitution.

Prosecutors alleged he ordered murders, although no murders were commissioned.

Ulbricht's operational security (OPSEC) mistakes played a pivotal role in his downfall. He used his real email address, posted personal information online, and failed to conceal his location adequately.

I believe the Silk Road will be remembered as a history of free trade, the case of Ross Ulbrich as a history of Justice failures, suppressing human rights and tyranny.

What will you remember?
