if the government comes after you, you're screwed. that's why decentralized protocols are important especially when it comes to money and speech. being a CEO of a company pushing privacy through encryption is a dangerous undertaking. this stuff has to be built by the people for the people.
In my own life, I have found that trying to create new things, building things, can be so humbling. And I think that if every human being tries to do something new and audacious at least once in their lifetime, we would have a much more gracious world where people who don't succeed after trying will be seen and treated with much grace and kindness. There's something beautiful and inspiring about audacity – even when it doesn't succeed.
the weight of fame is that your best and worst ideas are on full display and most people don't account for your growth and change. You and I have the privilege of making mistakes and being able to change and grow without people constantly reminding us of our mistakes. On here we don't even have our real pictures on the profile so we're shielded even more from our mistakes. As Jesus said, let he who is without sin be the first to cast the stone. or something along those lines😊
that's true. I didn't see it as religious doctrine though. to me it's just a perfect expression that felt right. some expression will come from and artist, a philosopher, a Buddha. if it feels right I will use it.
I actually have no objections except to say my experience with mind altering substances has been overall unpleasant. My conclusion is that I should accept that maybe this amazing experience is not available to me. There are things that I will never experience in this life just because I am me. But, don't think you're wrong. many of my good friends affirm your position through their experience and testimony.🙏
Is nuanced brevity even possible? Maybe short attention spans are responsible for most of the fighting and misunderstanding that happens online. We hate reading long nuanced messages but we start arguments about the short ones we read because it's missing a lot of context. Being human is truly a funny affair. 😁
Some people seem to love panicking about the future. If you panic long enough you will be right at some point and then you'll become a radicalized panic.
I love these suggestions. I think it would be naive to not think about this and solve it before it becomes a problem. I am getting replies from automated spam programs/scripts. It can quickly become a nightmare if you are targeted.
