Nigeria restricts access to exchanges because crypto is being used to reveal true market prices for the naira, and undermine the government's fixed exchange rates.

This is how it will happen - you suddenly notice fiat economies have more and more dependencies on crypto (ultimately bitcoin of course, as govts can shut down the others).

The rules were made by people who know better than us and who only want to look after us.  We must obey them.


#Europe #ECHR #HumanRights #Cybersecurity #Encryption: "The European Court of Human Rights banned all legal efforts of weakening encryption of secure communications in Europe.

Encryption ensures the enjoyment of fundamental rights such as privacy and freedom of expression, the judgment reads, while helping citizens and businesses to defend themselves against abuses of information technologies. Hence, the ruling to outlaw legislations that could open up backdoors for criminals to exploit.

The decision was welcomed with enthusiasm by privacy experts that have long called the EU Commission to withdraw their CSAM-scanning proposal, known as Chat Control, which planned to enable authorities to scan all citizens' private communications to halt the spread of dangerous content."

If suits were ever going to be able to pull something like this then they would have pulled it with Segwit2x.

Basically every miner, every exchange, every bitcoin-related suit was in on it and they got fucking wrecked.

It was glorious.


If America weren't so insecure, we could maybe just see this as "here's a good look at what's being sold as your enemy just so that you don't dehumanize Russia like your government wants you to" instead just just indulging your "America, love it or leave it, Tucker is a turncoat" xenophobic jingoistic American tendencies.

Plus, us telling normies they should buy bitcoin is like normies telling us we should get rid of our bitcoin.  Ridiculous.

Give ppl info if interested and let them do what they want, whats so hard about that?


Fuck them.  They'll probably sit around watching if / when the authorities drag you off to torture you for your seed.


Put another way, the left want to fight everyone else and try to take their shit, and the right want to be left alone and are happy to leave others alone too.


well there's zero privacy on x so it can hardly be that!


Mm, I was interested in what you said because it seemed that you were thinking objectively about these questions.

But the fact you refer to black people as niggers, and the way you talk about black people makes it seem like its more of an emotional or personal view - is that fair?


Thanks for the link.  I definitely accept your point that temperature / climate has to be a strong determinant of behaviours that can be interpreted as 'intelligence' but also of other things.

To me, the biggest effect is likely to be an urgency to do something.  In a warm climate it's better to take it easy, and you don't have to worry about shelter etc.  In the cold you are going to have to get the fuck up and do stuff, and who wants to sit around relaxing.

But three issues come to mind.  (I put these to you as genuine questions, as you seem to have properly thought about it).

First, is this biological or sociological?  You can imagine it being either (or both), and you'd think this could be answered scientifically:
 what are the biological correlates of warm or cold climates?

Second, just because you are in a warm climate and don't have the urgency of needing shelter etc, you will still be living at the edge of natural selection - because all living things do (or did until we started controlling our environment as we do now).  Intelligence still had to be a major part of how people competed and survived in hot climates.   So it's not obvious to me that urgency because of cold is more likely to foster evolution of intelligence than urgency because of, say, need to avoid predators or gather food efficiently.  Perhaps its a different kind of intelligence?

Third there are plenty of very hot places with non-black races - what's your view of those people?


what aspect of black people's biology is important here?


nostr is to x as bitcoin is to monopoly money


Good morning Matt :)


so the actual biology matters, you are saying?


so, thought experiment:

swap a black and a white baby at birth - so the black baby grows up in a white family etc, and vice versa

what do you think about the black person and white person when they're adults?


That must be incredible!


Sure, tho I think she has a wider point about blackrock openly proposing to tokenize everything (not listened yet..) and what their strategy for global domination etc actually is..

And when considering another human I don't care about melanin concentration - it's blood group we should be worrying about..


all the "high IQ" people I have known are jabbed to the max normies.  At a population level it correlates with compliance, obedience and stupidity.

Honestly i wouldn't brag about it if i were you


the sheep literally equate truth with whatever the rest of the sheep think it is. they have no concept of reality

gonna be hilarious when the flock decides yeah you should buy bitcoin and start parroting our talking points


I'd honestly find it a bit creepy


what if the farmers are actually massive businesses whose main competence is getting the EU to pay them to do nothing?

"real farmers", sure, but farming in EU is a weird thing, perverted by enormous subsidy


what makes you say i support it though?


why do you say that?


yes, immigration increases demand for land, which increases prices for all uses of land including housing and parking - what i've been saying


you need to define your counterfactual

increasing housing density will certainly lower housing costs, compare the the counterfactual of the same place, with the same underlying demand but lower density


because there is a high demand for housing in SF, shrugs

which means price for parking also high

because there is fundamentally a high demand for land in SF

it's not rocket surgery!


Housing and parking are both uses of land, so they're part of the same overall market for land usage, so obviously demand for 1 will affect the price of the other.

Think man!


Nostr has been discovered, and barring a civilization-level destruction event, it cannot be undiscovered.  The knowledge is what matters.  When people need censorship-resistant communication they will use it.

(Slightly unlike bitcoin, which also possibly needs the state of the network to be preserved).


Lol no.

Plus anyway most of the "high iq" ppl I've known have been total normie fuckwits


Average, not median


> the better the movie, the less the mainstream seems to talk about it

Yeah I guess this is the deeper issue - the extreme degradation of normiedom.  The sheep have been lobotomized, conditioned to only be interested in films and media that are completely without genuine interest.

Incredible to think there was a time when the biggest-selling films were (among) the best films.

That makes any goodness in these times of extreme mediocrity even more valuable..


Dunno what you exactly mean by ecash but the general problem vs physical cash is the data fingerprint


Thats what she'd say, I mean.

You are right, of course - the point is the number is fixed, whatever the unit.


There's a billion nanosats to a sat tho


If insiders like blackrock and Invesco get bitcoin ETFs approved by SEC normies will basically take that to mean bitcoin is officially approved.

Of course it's the biggest Trojan horse in human history.. 😀😀😀


They have to decide on 1 or 2 of the 12 applications by 11 Jan.  It's possible they'll reject or accept all of them at the same time.

But the fact all these insiders are applying says to me it has to happen - tho if not right now, maybe a few months / the next round.


Bitcoin wins in the end, obviously, but the ETF brings that day forward.

It's a trojan horse!


Yes, especially with the rise of bots / "AI", social media is going to be all about the filters.  Closed / centralized platforms obviously make filters that suit them rather than their users.  But on nostr we will evolve open-source filtering that is explicitly chosen by users and designed to achieve their curation.

Yet another reason why nostr is the future of everything..


What is this??


I feel like it's probably not actually "same time" but I know what you mean..

I liked andreas antonopoulos' analogy of bitcoin as a sewer rat vs the legacy system as a "boy in a bubble" (zero immune system)

whatever happened to that guy?


It's incredibly bullish.

The most mainstream bastion of normie finance acknowledging explicitly that bitcoin is not a bubble, and stating that it cannot be stopped.

They're beginning to realize what game they're actually in.

This, as they used to say, is gentlemen.


Chopping off their heads does not work: cockroaches can live without one for as long as a week. Whacking them is no guarantee either: their flexible exoskeletons can bend to accommodate as much as 900 times their body weight. Nor is flushing them down the toilet a solution: some breeds can hold their breath for more than half an hour. To most, roaches are an unwelcome pest. Their presence is made all the worse because they are indestructible.

An unwelcome pest is how many financiers and regulators would describe the crypto industry. Criminals use cryptocurrencies to launder money. Terrorists use them to make payments. Hackers demand ransoms in bitcoin. Many crypto coins are created simply so their makers can make off with the money.

The industry also appears to be indestructible. Crypto prices were crushed by higher interest rates in 2022. The industry’s head has been chopped off: Changpeng Zhao and Sam Bankman-Fried, the founders of the world’s biggest and second-biggest crypto exchanges, now both await sentencing for financial crimes (breaking anti-money-laundering laws and fraud, respectively). Regulators are cracking down. Yet not only has crypto survived, it is once again soaring: bitcoin climbed to a two-year high of almost $45,000 on December 11th, up from just $16,600 at the start of the year.

What is going on? For one thing, indestructibility is built into the technology. Bitcoin, ether and other coins are not companies—they cannot go bankrupt and be shut down. They employ blockchains, which maintain a database of transactions. Their lists are verified by a decentralised network of computers that are incentivised to keep maintaining them by the promise of new tokens. Only if the tokens fall to zero does the whole architecture collapse. And there continue to be lots of reasons to believe some crypto tokens are worth more than nothing.

The first is that holding crypto is a bet on a future in which use of the technology is widespread. People in despotic countries already use bitcoin and stablecoins (tokens pegged to a hard currency, like the dollar) to store savings and sometimes to make payments. These could be used more widely. Artists and museums are still creating or collecting non-fungible tokens (nfts). As are those looking to flog an image. Donald Trump is selling his mugshot for $99 a piece. He plans to have the suit he was booked in cut into pieces, made into cards and given to punters who buy at least 47 nfts in a single transaction.

During the boom times, the crypto industry raised a lot of money and hired plenty of smart developers. Those that remain are working on new uses, like social-media applications or play-to-earn games. Perhaps these will never be widely adopted. But even the small chance that they work out is worth something.

The second reason is that, with each boom-and-bust cycle, it becomes clearer crypto is not a bubble like tulip mania in the 1630s or the craze for Beanie Babies in the 1990s. Although bitcoin is a volatile asset, its price history looks more like a mountain range than a single peak, and appears closely correlated with tech stocks. Yet it is only moderately correlated with the broader market. An asset that swings up and down, and not in parallel with other things people might have in a portfolio, can be a useful diversifier.

That bitcoin has established itself as a serious asset seems to be the source of the latest surge. In August an American court ruled that the Securities and Exchange Commission, America’s main markets regulator, had been “arbitrary and capricious” when rejecting an effort by Grayscale, an investment firm, to convert a $17bn trust invested entirely in bitcoin into an exchange-traded fund (etf). Doing so would make investing in bitcoin easier for the average punter.

In October the court upheld its ruling—in effect ordering the sec to give way. The biggest fund managers, including BlackRock and Fidelity, have also applied to launch etfs. Given the returns bitcoin has offered in the past, and its correlations with other assets, the result could be a rush of cash into bitcoin, as even sensible investors consider putting small slices of their pension pots or portfolios into crypto for diversification.

Many feel instinctive revulsion when they spy a roach. But in spite of their flaws, the bugs have uses—they turn decaying matter into nutrients and eat other pests, such as mosquitoes. Crypto has its uses, too, such as portfolio diversification and keeping money safe under despotic regimes. And, as has been shown, it is just about impossible to kill.


Cockroach works for me, except for the shitcoins obviously..


It's an important nuclear threat which means that miners can never control bitcoin


I agree with most of what you say, that most peoples lives are basically insane, self-destructive and detached from what I would think of as reality - including nature.

But I'm really not sure "all this must have an impact on our “little” planet" is right.

Obviously if you build a car park on a field, that is a direct, local effect of itself.  But I think it's easy to go without justification to believing the whole planet is in some way damaged, and that the effect of humans is some how more than the sum of its parts.

Because that's how they get you, and what i think triggers me about your argument.  This vague globalization of your actions and the damage you are causing - which can never be really atoned for because it's not really defined.

Worth noting that this kind of sentiment, that humans are wrecking things and it can't last, has been prevalent throughout history - eg, most obviously with Malthus in 17th century.  He and his followers were wrong then, and everyone since has been wrong - I think for the reason that we have some inbuilt psychological tendency to guilt, and belief that our actions must have some larger negative consequences which we extrapolate to a permanently looming global catastrophe.

But the good news is - we really don't need to worry about it!  Even if  we suppose the doommongering is correct (it's really not), then we are simply doomed - there's nothing we can do about it, no conceivable possibility that we could organize in a rational way to prevent it.  So the worry is for nothing..

..except that I think the worry is actually the primary thing, and the doommongering is the effect of it, not the cause.  Humans have this predisposition to worry in this way, and it's a big part of how they self-organize into controlled groups.  The physical reality is unimportant and the issues chosen to worry about are entirely arbitrary, they're just a means to the end of social control.

So I invite you to consider this, and if you agree - you can be free!  You really don't have to worry about this stuff!


"Nature is getting silent. Just go into nature, listen to the diminishing bird sounds, and search for the dragonflies you saw plenty of as a child."

I suspect you are noticing population variation - I'm not aware of any reason this should actually be true overall, except eg in places where a lot of development has occurred locally.  I have often noticed, for example, that a certain type of bird seems to have disappeared - only to come back after a few years.

I'm all for protecting nature and spend most of my leisure time enjoying natural places and escaping from (local) human development.  But there's just no evidence I'm aware of that shows humans are (yet) having any meaningful global effect on the natural world.

Plus of course the people pushing the climate agenda are actually completely uninterested in nature or the climate - all they want is a pretext for gaining status in the herd / enriching themselves / gratifying their urge to bully anyone who disobeys the herd etc.


It's an important step but jeans are cotton too


Yeah but never forget these people are psychotic - capable of any cruelty in order to go along with the herd


i guess i will :)

Just a quick reminder that Israel had foreknowledge of 9/11 and let it happen, at the least - even if they didn't actively participate or direct it, which seems more likely.

from https://www.ancreport.com/war-is-always-by-deception/

https://m.primal.net/HRMZ.mp4


OK  but the normies don't need to "buy it" - they will go along with any nonsense at all, even if they openly agree its nonsense, as long as it means staying with the herd.

(Of course one day the herd might reject it..)

I don't even think the blue-haired students or struggling boomers buy it.  It's just an outlet for their own emotional baggage - low self esteem, inability to feel valued without peer recognition or superiority over others, sibling anger etc etc

None of them is remotely interested in the actual issue, and if it wasn't climate itd be something else, as we see with covid, trans, ukraine etc.


But climate boiling threatens to imminently wipe out all life on the planet earth..

Well, it's because to have any chance of meaningfully reducing infection you need mucosal immunity - which only comes when your mucosal system (nose and throat basically) come in contact with the pathogen or vaccine.

The covid jabs never had any chance to reduce infection as they were intra-muscular, and didn't touch the mucosal system - and everyone involved will have known this.

And it really shouldn't be a situation where if you are born Palestinian in Israel you are literally governed by different laws than if you are born Jewish..

It is open racism far worse than SA apartheid - how can this be acceptable in the "civilized" world?

wait till you find out about israel's role in 9/11..


None of that correlates with what you posted, unless you are saying it's the start of the blade in which case we will be vaporised in a decade 🤣


Read my post

The temperature you cited increased hugely in one year but there is no corresponding increase in CO2.

Therefore something else, other than CO2, must be causing the increase.

Get it yet?


Plus if you think a single year means anything at all then there's no hope for you.

There's no correlation to co2 there so actually it proves that temp changes on this scale are independent of co2..  😂😂😂

Thanks I'll bookmark that 🙏🙏🙏😄


If you knew what variation on that time scale was normal then you could say if it's nothing or not.

But nobody does because the data doesn't exist.


patience grasshopper, today you have learned a great lesson


That's $37k for the household, 2.5 ppl per hhold so about $15k each yeah i reckon UBI would be that or getting there - i think i saw $12k being floated.

Whole point is it must be enough to live on of course so it won't be much less.


Actual AI - an autonomous intelligence we cannot comprehend blah blah - would have unlimited capabilities as far as we're concerned so anyone can say anything they like pretty much.

Fortunately there's no such thing, and things like chatgpt and LLMs are just dumb software with a lot of training to mimic humans basically


had a lot of practice tbf


lol i literally have a business card with it printed, so not necessarily!


Normies don't make their decisions that way.  They look to the herd for everything - and will do anything at all to conform to the herd, however cruel, ridiculous or harmful to themselves or others.

The only way they would consider your arguments (or anyone's) is if they thought you were informing them of the herd's position on bitcoin - which you're clearly not.

Give someone the facts and if there's any hope for them they'll work it out for themselves - if not you are completely wasting your time.


You're doing it all wrong.

You need to flush proactively as soon as you feel your turd has escape velocity.

Then it is swept immediately away without the chance to stink the air out.

(incidentally the fact that this really does seem to work suggests the smell comes from the turd lying in situ in the bowl, under water - which is not completely obvious to me)


Probably anti-vaxxers.. ..why would they do something like this??


What I meant - though didn't say explicitly, to be fair - is that UBI will put almost EVERYONE in this position of vulnerability.


Then what can explain it!?


I don't think you have understood my argument


Have you been using too much co2 today?


Bitcoin is just nostr plus consensus on state, no?


UBI is intended (by some) to deliberately create dependency.

If you have left the job market and lost skills and confidence, you will do anything you are told to keep your handouts.

Its completely terrifying and evil.  So pretty likely soon.


I suspect marriage is sad and dark for most people.

But part of how they get you is that you have to believe its wonderful - and if you aren't feeling wonderful it's because of your deficiencies.


Lol nonsense, all it means is there is *some* trash in the ocean.

We don't.  There's no data for that.  Nobody has any idea.


Yeah the whole thing is nuts, giving control of your life and choices to someone else forever.

Only way it could work is if you knew you could control your spouse and do what you wanted.  And if you're the kind of person to do that you are nuts anyway.

I bid $1 for anyone's bitcoin so he's wrong


Reason #624362 why everything will end up on nostr:  online life in the "AI" age will be all about the filters you use - and the open source filters we will get on nostr are going to beat closed filters hands-down.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seems to me nostr is awash with bots and "AI" (actually just human-simulation software, imo the word "intelligence" is just part of the psy-op!).  I sort of filter informally, sort of don't really care what the difference is as long as it's content I like..

But this is clearly the future:  we will live in an online sea of fakery; and the only solution is going to be "filters" in a general sense.

The filter you use will entirely determine your online experience.

Every closed social network will be doing this, now and for the future - but of course they will be doing it for their ends (and those of intelligence agencies etc) not yours.

Meanwhile for it to be at all useable nostr will likely soon be all about the open-source filters available to give users the online experience they actually want.  They will inevitably be far superior to any closed alternative, not just because they will actually be working for the user, but because the open-source collaborative effort is bound to make far better software.

So bullish.

The really natural end objective for X, as well as facebook and Amazon etc, would be a currency - as per the failed libra (?).

At that point these companies are effectively sovereign states.  I expect that to resurface - if they aren't bound into CBDCs at a high enough level that it's not worth their while to fight for their own.


little bit on the rare side for me tbh


Yes, afaik white SA didn't actively intend to purge the country of non-whites.

Most ppl would say that the SA apartheid regime would be intolerable in the modern world.

But Israel is an openly racist state, with a far worse system of segregation - and thats completely fine.


Plus zionists being in control of US public opinion and political discourse

And more generally this seems to have been the strategy:
 - provoke palestinians using illegal settlements / bulldozing villages etc
 - use any retaliation as a justification to seize more land
 - repeat

It can't really fail as long as they have military superiority, and can control US public opinion (which actually is what gives them military superiority so this is all they need)


I tell them i own stocks, property, gold, but the only thing they can never take from me is my bitcoin.

The people pushing these agendas could not care less about any of the issues they are riding.  Their sole interest is to use them as tools for bullying and controlling others, and showing membership / position in the regime.


Plus I didn't really understand what the fediverse is


To tell the truth I was drunk, on freedom speech and some beer - and I apologise for being uncivil


Surgeons wear masks to stop drops of saliva falling into wounds etc.
They are zero use against aerosols, obviously.
Look it up if you don't  believe me


There is no climate crisis charlie.  If anything more CO2 is good.


You are saying it is spread by physical contact - and the point of masks is to stop large droplets from falling to surfaces?
No, Covid, at least, is spread through aerosols - particles which essentially remain airborne, and are far too small for mask wearing to make any difference at all.
Masks simply don't work, you've been had.


It's not gonna stop the scratching tho, it'll just be you not the door


just as bitcoin is the money of last resort, which you use when you can't use anything else, nostr is the social network of last resort - where people will go when they are inevitably banned or censored everywhere else

there is no alternative!


actually try
primal.net/explore/global/latest
or
primal.net/explore/network/latest

their relays (i gather) give a totally different nostr experience


I see completely different global feeds on different clients.

In particular, on amethyst it's mainly bitcoiners i follow anyway. No offense but it is a bit boring.

But primal.net/explore/global/latest is wild and free. Lot of hentai.

Is it different relays or something?


try global / latest


Gonna follow this post because I have never read any SF so good, and I've read quite a lot.

Off the top of my head the thing I find most similar is "Anathem" by Neal Stephenson.

But there is also a Cixin Liu short story compliation, "The Wandering Earth" to keep yourself going for a little while - they're just as good.


i recommend to continue!


Patience!  All nostr has to do is exist, it's blindingly obvious that it's the future of everything 😃

I already find enough content that I am here because I want to - and it's not bitcoin content.


I stay here for the non-bitcoin content, and its clear to me others do - so honestly i think it's happening.

If you try browsing eg latest for Network on primal.net/explore, to me it seems there is a ton of content and discussion unrelated to bitcoin.  Or global.

It tends to be generally "awake" - ie nonconformist etc - but not really much centered on bitcoin.


Yes.  To me the most important material objective of life is to reduce my dependence on / exposure to the dangerous insanity of normies.

As long as there are enough of us who are awake to this stuff we ultimately don't have to care how much the normies get rugged / wreck their health / lock themselves up.

A lot of that vision depends on bitcoin/nostr specifically - and the possibility of building a free world that is genuinely resistant to the normie/zombie universe, and which will in time supercede it.  I would be completely despairing at this point otherwise.


haha me too

i feel about nostr how i felt when i first discovered reddit

that was pretty amazing for a while before the jackboots killed it

it is incredible to think now that they can never take this freedom away from us again


phoenix


Its true, but i don't see why its inconvenient.

These people would rather their children are crippled than think about anything or make any decisions for themselves.

Just like everything else, they will look for other people to decide for them about bitcoin, and to hold it for them.

If they're lucky then something like fedimint will mean they end up, through the hard work of others, trusting some institution that is actually trustworthy.


amazing to me how people can bend their minds to ignore these simple facts.

its far worse than apartheid in SA, which would be regarded as an abomination


Haha it's mad you just founded the replacement for r/music..
what a time to be alive!


Yeah they were told to leave so you have to assume everyone in gaza is a terrorist at this point


If she understands nostr you can just say:  now add consensus about state

At that point it should be obvious you've created a censorship-resistant money 😆


most ppl don't really have a concept of truth - and why would they, it has no meaning for their lives, which are entirely based around fitting in with the herd


sattelite.earth is a reddit clone.  one day it will kill the cesspit of censorship that reddit.com has become

sooner or later every existing social network model will be cloned (and the censored version killed) - but the really interesting stuff will be when ppl make their own models

already primal.net is better than twitter - eg with the global / tribal network views in 'explore'


if nostr doesn't start teeming with child porn it's not working, it's a dead end

obviously the only solution is to choose what you see for yourself


The Three Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu is the best SF I have read by far.

Its slightly slow starting and not so easy to get into as the characters are chinese, but just magnificent.

Also fantastic, off the top of my head:

Rendezvous with Rama - Arthur C Clarke
Anathem - Neil Stephenson
Dogs of War - Adrian Tchaikowsky
Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikowsky


Ah man.. ..i envy you if you haven't watched hitchcock
Vertigo (1958), Marnie (1964) and Psycho (1960) are incredible, give them a try.

You are not "recommending" Godfather?  Deer Hunter?


I think it is becoming possible to argue objectively that there has been a stagnation or cessation of cultural development - actually more obviously in music than film, but it's the same thing I think.

I was at a bar recently and noticed them playing "show me love" by robin s, a dance tune released in 1990.  What struck me was that it did not stand out at all from the rest of the music being played - it wasn't any sort of golden-oldie.

That track was released 33 years ago.  If you had done the same in 1990 you'd be playing a tune from 1957 - which would be inconceivable to happen without it being some sort of novelty or stunt.  Almost all the development of modern music happened in that time - and I would argue that essentially zero further development happened since.   In 1990 we had everything we see now - all the main genres and even subgenres of dance, electronic, hip hop, indie.  There have been no more than minor variations.


Lol they weren't beheading babies come on


For me reddit was the best thing on the internet for many years - it showed what could happen if people around the world could meet and get on together in freedom.

I really felt the loss when it was destroyed by censorship - and the idea of using even the subreddits I'm not banned from kind of disgusts me.

Well guess what reddit is back and now it will be free FOREVER.

https://satellite.earth/

Nostr is everything the internet could have been I am incredibly bullish


I have a fundamental conviction that film this century is basically worthless - change my mind!

I think a lot of it is that I feel mainstream tastes have gone to absolute shit and the film industry has become a sausage machine, so I don't trust reviews or success metrics..

..so I basically only ever watch films from 20th century, usually which I have seen before.

I love film - please give me hope that cinema is not dead by posting examples of great cinema from this century.

Thanks in advance!

Plus it's early enough here you can just browse the global feed


Dissent watch


Absolutely.

It's so obvious when you zoom out:
- everything that can be censored will be censored
- without freedom of speech, democracy is impossible and tyranny is inevitable

There is nothing remotely as important going on in the world as nostr.

It may take time for everyone to realise but the future of humanity is here and nowhere else.


UK MP Who Pressured Rumble To Demonetize Russell Brand Received Donation In Kind From Google

From Infowars

The MP also cited Google-owned YouTube’s actions against Brand in her letter to Rumble.

i thought this until i tried primal.net


Thanks.  Yes it fits.  Seem to remember he said something about "authenticate all the humans".. ..what, you mean YOU will authenticate them?? hilarious

It's only recently become really obvious to me how everything will go to nostr.  Even if musk was benevolent, he can't stop doing some censorship, even for commercial reasons.  Every centralized social media must turn to shit.

Plus it hadn't occurred to me:  even apart from censorship nostr will be way better.  If anyone has an idea for some crazy improvement, it will just happen.

Already with primal.net i just got that sense - its a twitter clone but there are  plenty of things that are already better than twitter.

Its very exciting


is there some news i missed about twitter - or is that your expectation of what will happen?

will be the death of the platform if he does.. ..i hope nostr ready by then..


For desktop i couldn't get anything to work well until i tried primal.net.. ..which is brilliant, a real eye-opener to where we are going


Sweet tractor!


or leave it and just take the seed...


haha primal.net is incredible
finally a web client that feels like it works..
..and with speeds and already features that feel *better* than a twitter clone


It's fine because for almost everyone the virus is dealt with in the nose/throat and spike doesn't actually get into the body where it can do damage..

.. oh wait!!!!

I partly want to laugh but the fact they did this to children is sickening


Curtis Brine


Grant Spackman


except if everyone knows that then it just makes physical appearance irrelevant for choice maybe (?)


Yep - grafting together series with different resolutions is a classic cheap trick, for CO2 as well as temp.

Climate has always changed - so if its warming now thats not odd.  The only question is if its warming "unnaturally" and the only "proof" of this comes from these insane models.  Its worth looking into that for amusement, they are literally extended weather forecasts.


(#solutions like nuclear I mean)


Climate denier here :)  yes I agree, there is no future for humanity except for nuclear power.

This is an argument I would use against the "consensus" of what I regard as climate hysteria - the people pushing this agenda are not at all interested in solutions like, because they don't actually care about the climate.  They want justifications for bullying and controlling others - and, whether consciously or not - bringing in communism.

Solutions to the "climate crisis" are the exactly the opposite of what they want.


Bigger picture:

 - we have no idea what 'normal' climate variation is, on the scale of decades (which is the relevant scale).  All data proxies (from before thermometers - eg tree rings and ice cores) are smoothed so that level of detail is lost.  Plus they are absolutely awful data.  (Plus thermometer data is awful for a ton of reasons...).   So there is no basis whatsoever for saying that what's happening now is unnatural.

- what does "global temperature" even mean?  It's not the average temp of the earth (which is a 3D sphere containing quite a lot of molten metal!).  So it's some definition of "the surface".. ..but which bits?  At what altitude?  And do yo use a grid? But we don't have a grid of observations so you have to interpolate - and there are a ton of ways to do this. ..and what if you use a different grid?  The more you think of it the more stupid and meaningless it is.  The only remotely meaningful measure is total energy stored in the oceans - as any temp variation that could affect surface life is going to be driven by this.  But nobody is interested in total ocean energy (it is increasing at a tiny rate and doesn't seem obviously to correlate to human activity).

The whole thing is a nonsense as soon as you start thinking critically about it.


Excellent list.

Here's another myth:  covid jabs were even designed to stop transmission.  They simply cannot do this as they are not active in the mucosal immune system - you need an inhaled vaccine for that.
https://metatron.substack.com/p/why-dont-the-vaccines-work
https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(22)00572-8

And another:  covid variants evolved naturally.
https://swinehoodsremedy.substack.com/p/unnatural-evolution-indisputable


It's very likely that a lot of the apparent efficacy was manufactured by the way vaccinated / not were classified.

Eg if you got covid within 2 weeks of vaccine, you were counted as vaccinated.

That alone can basically make anything appear effective.  After a while you get reversion to the mean type of thing and the "efficacy" disappears.

am i going mad or is there no option for light mode on iris.to??


About the only thing we know for sure is that, yes, the climate always changes.

Is the current change unusual?

Nobody knows. There is simply no data to show what normal variation in global temperature (worth considering how elusive a notion this is) over the course of decades is.
