Bullshit


- Milei's advice to Americans witnessing the rise of Socialism in the U.S. The interview had 320 million impressions on X(it seems that the imminent death of X is highly exaggerated)

"Never embrace the idea of socialism."

"Never let yourselves be seduced by the siren song of social justice."

"Don't get caught by that nefarious phrase that where there's a need, there's a right."

"For that, you need to be prepared and wage the cultural battle every day."

"Be careful because they [socialists] have no problem infiltrating the state and applying Gramsci's techniques, seducing artists, culture, media, or getting into educational content."

"You have to be very careful, cut off their funding, and make them compete on equal terms. At the same time, you have to make businesspeople aware that it's necessary. As Milton Friedman said, the social function of a businessman is to make money, but that alone is not enough. Part of the investment has to be in defenders of freedom so that socialists cannot advance. Because if they don't, they will get into the state, and from the state, they will impose an agenda that, in the long run, will end up destroying everything it touches."

"So, a strong commitment from all wealth creators is needed to fight against socialism and statism, and understand that if this is not done, socialists will always keep trying. Because what's the point? As they try to live off others without working, they are tireless in seeking this because their life's motto is to live off others. So they never give up on this mechanism of appropriating wealth and income from others. So this battle has to be waged continuously; you can't rest because when you rest, socialism advances."

Yes, people fleeing North Korea have to be told to leave the plastic trash in the river as they cross into China. Many would otherwise risk being shot to collect it. When things are scarce & valuable, & they all come in heavy & breakable glass containers, plastic becomes an extremely valuable commodity.

The Soviet bloc also didn't really have plastic until the 90s. I'm sure there are still others, & there are people in the US today seriously advocating policies that would take us there.

And don't be fooled, Antifa, BLM and all of these operations are part of the problem, they are funded by the business interests that control the government and are used to maintain chaos in our society so that a genuine resistance cannot be organized against the Fascists”.

What do you mean?


🚨USA 🇺🇸: The President of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, announced the formal opening of an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden.

“Through our investigations, we have discovered that President Biden lied to the American people about his own knowledge of his family's business dealings abroad,” said McCarthy.

“Even a trusted FBI informant alleged bribery to the Biden family.
Biden used his official office to coordinate with Biden's business partners Hunter (Joe's son) about Hunter's role in Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company," he continued.

In the chamber of representatives (equivalent to the chamber of deputies in Brazil) the chances of Biden being impeached are high, the question remains as to how the American senate, where the Democratic party (Joe Biden's party) will vote on this issue.

Good idea. (Scott Adams proposed that the other day by the way)


"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded."

- President Eisenhower, January 17, 1961


”The war, therefore if we judge it by the standards of previous wars, is merely an imposture. It is like the battles between certain ruminant animals whose horns are incapable of hurting one another. But though it is unreal it is not meaningless. It eats up the surplus of consumable goods, and it helps to preserve the special mental atmosphere that the hierarchical society needs. War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. The very word "war," therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous war has ceased to exist. The peculiar pressure that is exerted on human beings between the Neolithic Age and the early twentieth century has disappeared and has been replaced by something quite different. The effect would be much the same if the three superstates, instead of fighting one another, should agree to live in perpetual peace, each inviolate within its own boundaries. For in that case each would still be a self-contained universe, freed forever from the sobering influence of external danger. A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war. This--although the vast majority of Party members understand it only in a shallower sense--is the inner meaning of the Party slogan: WAR IS PEACE”.
George Orwell, 1984

(Posted on Twitter because it’s more relevant there, but I won’t link to it so you don’t have to experience that place 😂)

The great insanity of our time has been:

The idea that facts cannot be shared or discussed, if they don’t support “the correct conclusion.”

People who want to discuss a major topic or problem honestly, are met with extreme hate and vicious denouncement if the truth or facts they find aren’t perfectly aligned with The Narrative.

• Are deaths and injuries from all weather and climate related issues plummeting and projected to continue? This is “dangerous” and makes you a “denier” and must be censored. Not because it isn’t true, it’s because it questions the “final solution” that has already been decided by the political class.

• Are there 10s of thousands of reports of deaths and extremely serious injury associated with the vaxzein? If you say anything at all other than “safe and effective” or even talk to someone who has been injured, you are a literal murderer of innocent old grandmothers & you’re probably racist too.

• Does a woman have a vagina? This is so profoundly evil that each utterance of it is literal genocide of trans people.
The words literally slice through the air like crazed dementors on the hunt and cut down trans people like word demons, blood flying everywhere. The horrors of such a grammatical tyranny can never be recovered from. It’s instant death to 1000s.

EVERY issue seems to be met with this same stubborn and narcissistic box that is riddled with lies, twisted statistics, & half truths. And it’s being used to excuse the most horrible forms of censorship violations of individual rights.
Step outside of the approved box with even the most utterly basic of facts, and you’re an evil, racist, treasonous conspiracy theorist (or literally any other disgusting label they can conjure)

This does SO much damage to the discussion because not only are people not allowed to hold a sober, nuanced position on anything, but when you hear someone spread blatant lies and then they start screaming like a lunatic when you point it out and call you a murderer - then what remotely intelligent or sensible person would believe absolutely anything that person says again?

It has led to the total breakdown of trust in our institutions that is so bad that people will literally believe *any* crazy story for no other reason than they are certain they are being lied to with the “approved narrative.”

The establishment losing their minds over people believing anything they find on the internet, need to look in the mirror. They have been pouring gasoline on this fire for *years.*

The establishment has made it perfectly clear, over and over again, that truth is subject to any change necessary so that it aligns with “the good guys’ [insert approved conclusion]”

Problem is, as I see it, knowingly lying, censoring the truth, & viciously attacking - even putting people in cages - for speaking the truth, has never been what “the good guys” do.

Hope you have a great day 😁👍🏻

I still think this is by far the most valuable thing we could build for the #nostr protocol. Being able to sell and base reputation off the same network as your social graph is something no other service can offer.

You can’t carry your EBay reputation to Amazon, you can’t update your Facebook page for all of your Amazon customers. The universal network graph is a novel value that only #nostr can fulfill. nostr:note1kekg93s4qgm3atxu3qd3rxnj4msvsfgmfju8hlf3kca36wmrtf7sgteevt

I know everybody is dunking on the random governor who decided that she could just wave her hand and unilaterally suspend any right she dislikes simply by hissing the word "emergency," but the problem is that she's only wrong if another political force — the courts, politics, disobedience, or Locke's old Appeal to Heaven — proves her wrong. Enforcing the limits of official power isn't some American $currentYear problem, it's a recurring issue throughout history.

The question is why we're suddenly seeing the authoritarian instinct activating so much more openly — and frequently. In prior decades, they had to be cute in how they went about it, often requiring laws and lies. Now they're remarkably comfortable simply stating "because of the 'emergency,' you can no longer {travel | donate | engage in commerce | read | communicate | carry}," and that's the whole of it.

The next question is what you're going to do about it.

The consequences of a fully applied bitcoin economy is a night mare for socialists.

So If you define yourself as a socialist(in the standard definition of it) then you would not appreciate the consequences.

But when I started using Nostr 9 months ago, the Lightning Network had a liquidity of 5500 Btc and it’s now at 4700 Btc.

A problem with Nostr is that so much of the content consists of ”zapp, zappitizap, zappathon, zappstsatic, etc” if you know what I mean. Tiresome.


Well there's a circular bootstrapping problem there. Every social network has always done this in the past with following the creators and early popular accounts, which obviously results in them having comparatively huge reach after the network is established.

So the trade off is; are we going to be annoyed with amplifying early accounts, or are we going to let people join and not recommend the active accounts with lots of engagement, and instead leave them to find active users by scrolling through global? I think the latter ends up with a lot more confused/frustrated users 😆

The best option would obviously be to recommend people for a particular topic or community the user is interested in, but that won't really be a meaningful option until the network grows enough for it to have numerous, separate active communities. Which means were stuck where we are until then... It's just not an easy problem.

We will see.
It’s not that we’ve never heard words like this being uttered before. 🤷

Bitcoin companies will generally want to sacrifice security for superficial, short-term adoption. They're businesses, after all and more customers is how they make money.

Users, on the other hand, will want security for their coins and will care much more deeply about true long-term adoption.

The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me how few people have actually used Lightning. Whenever I show somebody how it works, there's always that "wow" moment. But why was it a surprise?

The problem is that normal people still understand BTC from the one half-remembered opinion piece they read in 2017, and are operating under the belief that transactions still take an hour to settle, rather than being instantaneous and irreversible — money transmission without the Paypal Problem. The public mind needs a cache refresh.

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”

― George Orwell, 1984


The best way to eliminate corruption from a country is with two simple laws:

1- The state, at any of its levels, cannot spend more than it enters. It cannot issue debt or collect more than 30% of GDP in taxes/fees.

2- Throughout the national territory, the choice of currency is a right of individuals and companies. That is, there is free competition of currencies.

Ready. Fixed up. There is no place for corruption or foolish expenses. There is no room for inflation or shady exchange rate deals.

Also, we could discuss the details, but in general terms I don't see how someone without being crossed by ideology could be against these two postulates.

PATRIOT ACT 2.0

$1M Fine and Up To 20 Years in Prison❗❗❗

The RESTRICT Act, introduced by Senators Warner and Thune, aims to block or disrupt transactions and financial holdings involving foreign adversaries that pose risks to national security. Although the primary targets of this legislation are companies like Tik-Tok, the language of the bill could potentially be used to block or disrupt cryptocurrency transactions and, in extreme cases, block Americans’ access to open source tools or protocols like Bitcoin.

The Act creates a redundant regime paralleling OFAC without clear justification, it significantly limits the ability for injured parties to challenge actions raising due process concerns, and unlike OFAC it lacks any carve-out for protected speech.

I think you underestimate the lengths to which people will go to protect their status & power. The US govt can't exist anywhere near its current size in a sound monetary environment. Many of these people have convinced themselves that the world would stop turning if not for their special position that makes everything good & all of society possible. Many govt officials will believe, with great certainty, that Bitcoin is destroying the world. And in a sense it is. THEIR whole world is a fraud & Bitcoin will tear that down.

Whether a person is religious or not, the moral of the Jesus story is one that should be remembered. Men clinging to status & power will kill God. They'll torture the innocent, destroy the truth, & plunge the whole world into darkness before voluntarily giving up their authority.

## Unleashing Your Inner Writer

So, you aspire to be a writer. You yearn to share your thoughts with the world, cultivate a following, and make a difference.

The remarkable aspect of the internet isn't its vastness, but rather how much of it is mundane. For every insightful essay, there are countless articles rehashing generic opinions from CNN or Fox News. They're as predictable as tic-tac-toe and just as tiresome.

What's happening here? Why do so many writers churn out content that feels more worn out than Eeyore?

Fear is the culprit.

Dull essays are born from apprehensive writers. They fear backlash and avoid anything offensive or controversial. They remain within the confines of acceptable discourse, never daring to question the mainstream. These writers cower like an unpopular middle schooler fearing an atomic wedgie.

### The Struggle and Rejection of Timid Writing

Timid writing is a struggle. It's creatively stifled by others' opinions. If you dodge all potentially offensive topics, there are numerous places you won't explore. With only a few bland ingredients, is it any wonder your creations fail to entice?

Constantly looking over your shoulder, you fear the mob, judgment, and rejection. But ironically, rejection is all you'll receive. It's a different type of rejection than hatred – the polite indifference of someone excusing themselves to avoid conversation. It might be gentler on your ego, but it's detrimental to your growth as a writer.

Don't be a timid writer. Your mom might read your essays and enjoy them, but few others will. Those who agree will forget your words, while those who disagree will have larger targets than a minnow like you. Timid writers only attack the establishment's enemies, never challenging the status quo.

### The Power of Bold Writing

The alternative? Write with boldness, courage, and originality.

Embrace being a bold writer. And no, that doesn't mean using a heavier font. Write at the edge of acceptable discourse. Express ideas that matter.

Isn't that the reason you write? To share a piece of yourself through words? But how genuine is it if your thoughts mirror the mainstream?

Does the thought of controversy frighten you? Good. That means you're alive and authentic. You'll need to defend your views, but you'll be ready. Yes, you'll have detractors, but you'll also gain loyal fans. True fans who resonate with your voice and view you as their champion, cheering you on like the gladiator you are.

Defending your views will sharpen your writing. Those with conventional opinions rarely reflect deeply; they've simply accepted their beliefs as part of their upbringing. Your writing will captivate because it offers a fresh perspective.

### Creative Freedom

You'll enjoy greater creative freedom, as you venture into territories most people don't dare explore. You'll access ideas untouched by the mainstream, with boundless opportunities for growth.

You'll become a better writer, honing your skills faster, generating more compelling ideas, and writing with increased frequency.

Be that writer. Be bold. Stir the pot. Challenge your readers.

And go forth to change the world.


I just posted this in an INTJ facebook group, I'm expecting some fireworks...

"The more unconscious & willfully ignorant we are of some aspect of ourselves the uglier & less healthy that part of us becomes. Religious people are often trained to view all sexual desire as evil. Because of this they push their sex drive out of their consciousness & into the shadows, where it becomes something twisted & feral that literally haunts them. When we refuse to accept reality we create our own demons.

Most atheists actually suffer from a similar & arguably much worse problem. They believe religion is all nonsense & then they unconsciously worship authority in a way that produces & supports the most evil & deadly religion to ever plague humanity. Governments have songs, symbols, statues, monuments, ritual ceremonies, sacred halls, sacred texts, black robed interpreters of said texts, other costumed authorities, "climate guilt" as original sin, violent foreign crusades to "promote democracy," & at the end of the day the government doesn't even exist, it's just ideologically possessed people stealing from & doing horrible things to others in the name of some imaginary abstraction. More than 300mil people were killed at the hands of govt religions in the 20th century alone. Wake up."

I suspect the exception might be athiests who have consciously made some set of principles or some foundational piece of reality into their guiding light. But I think God & reality are the same thing so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are so many things wrong with a system where a special group is allowed to steal from everyone else & tell everyone what to do, but then we are supposed to somehow hold them accountable at the same time... with votes every 4 years 🙄

The very idea that they only have powers we delegate to them, but then they can steal from all of us (when we don't have that power to delegate) kinda demonstrates the whole thing was a fraud to begin with.

The goal of the American experiment was a good one, create the smallest govt ever in order to allow markets to thrive. But it was a total failure. We have the largest & most powerful govt ever, run by insane pedophiles, who have no problem risking the destruction of the entire world.

The problem is that the primary way to hold any organization accountable is via withdrawal of financial support. The power to steal or tax destroys that means of imposing accountablity. It's so destructive that it creates an inverted morality where people do better the more they steal & control & destroy.

A constitution can't fix legitimized theft or the inverted morality it creates. We have to remove the power to tax & make all economic transactions voluntary. Thankfully Bitcoin helps with that. But we've got a long way to go before people let go of their religious belief in govt.

The only thing that really distinguishes govt from a business or charity is the power to tax. If funding is voluntary then a "govt" has to compete for financial support & can go out of business like any other organization. If the only transactions we consider legitimate are voluntary ones, then we have achieved an anarcho-capitalist society.


Government schooling is the most destructive thing to ever exist. It's not just the political propaganda & brainwashing, it literally destroys people's minds by not teaching them anything that matters & punishing curiosity.

Think about how insane it is that average person doesn't know how a fucking toilet works. How many things do you depend on every day that you can't even begin to fix or repair? Education should probably start with the systems we depend on most.

“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.” – F.A. Hayek 1984


The reason so many people are so unhealthy is because they bought the triple lie that fruits & veggies are healthy, veg oils are healthy, & avoiding fat makes you thin.

Our bodies can't make use of nutrients wrapped in cellulose. Most veg oils have to be extracted with acetone, then bleached to eliminate the disgusting smell, & were originally machine oils never meant for human consumption. Eating sugar makes your body produce fat. Eating healthy fat makes your body burn fat. And quality red meat is the most nutrient dense food we can consume. Meat heals.


The Case for Apprenticeships
——————————————
The classroom setting is very unnatural. You sit there for an hour or two and just listen to someone talk while you dutifully take notes, or more likely, doom scroll your social media feed and maybe check your email. Learning by just sitting there and absorbing is against everything that we are as human beings. We are built for action. Moving our bodies around and imitating what others are doing is a much more natural way to learn.

The traditional way in which people learned was through apprenticeships. You went to train with another person that was an expert in their craft and you did what they did and learned through imitation. Instead of watching them for hours and then maybe practicing some of it at home right before an exam, you watched and did what they did with a much faster iterative loop. You got feedback and corrected and tried again.

The only thing that's like that in school today is with sports, where the movement of bodies and trial and error are unavoidable. They're also highly competitive with an objective metric of wins and losses, so they trend toward doing what works in practice rather than what should work in theory.

Theory versus Practice
———————————
And indeed, that's what we're talking about, the difference between theory and practice. Lectures and classrooms are all theory. There's way too little practice.

This is why theory has such pitiful production. Social sciences are pretty much all theory. They're usually some twisted rationalization of some political goal. Since it's not based on truth and has very little in terms of objective competition, it tends to stray far into political power games.

We've been seeing this trend in academia where even hard sciences get deep into theory with very little practice. For example, string theory has been around for over 20 years and hasn't produced any results. Yet it continues to be popular, largely because of the investments PhD's made decades ago that are being bailed out by universities. That is to say, it's a giant circle jerk subsidized by political power games.

The real work has always been done on the ground, by people who are building. And to learn what they do isn't easily taught in classrooms, it's taught in factories and garages and labs.

Unscaling Education
———————————
So why isn't apprenticeship more popular? The main reason is that it doesn't scale very well. Apprenticeship was mostly practiced within families where a parent would teach a child their trade. They had a natural incentive to make sure the child learned what they needed to as they shared a last name and would carry on a legacy.

To do that in a modern setting would be prohibitively expensive. There are way more people that want to get into certain trades than are spots available, so how do you choose them? We can see how restrictive this requirement is when looking at medical doctors. Part of why there are so few spots for doctors is the requirement of doing a residency, which is a form of apprenticeship. Medical schools typically have 5% or below acceptance rates, showing that there are way more people that want to be doctors than are doctors. In other words, apprenticeship is very hard to scale.

But nonetheless, I think it needs to be brought back, because we're losing a lot by not doing so. The best in a given field rarely pass on all of their tricks of the trade and sadly, they're re-learned through painful experience by others in the same trade. Diffusing that knowledge and experience is a way to not lose the progress we've made.


There is no climate crisis, but Bitcoin does fix very poor incentives and imbalances in energy economics.

Bitcoin Ekasi is a bitcoin circular economy in South Africa. It is one of dozens of bitcoin circular economies around the world inspiring grassroots activities driving the adoption of bitcoin in Asia, Africa, Latin America.

The success of Bitcoin Ekasi is directly responsible for South Africa's largest supermarket chain Pick n Pay integrating bitcoin payments throughout the country.

This is a tweet from Bitcoin Ekasi today,

Here's the reality:

Today I attended the opening of a new Bitcoin education center in Kumasi, Ghana, in rural Africa.

The village chief spoke during the formalities and he expressed some unexpected skepticism towards the opening of the new center.

He said, and I'm paraphrasing:

"Bitcoin can be good, but it can be dangerous. Bitcoin can be a scam. A business collapsed and people lost millions of dollars. I am not sure you should teach our children about Bitcoin here."

Of course, the basics of Bitcoin to be taught at this center has nothing to do with the FTX casino and its crypto delinquency.

But this is the reality of its after effects.

This is the unseen and largely unrecognized effect of endless tokens riding on Bitcoin's coattails.

I challenge anyone who argues against Bitcoin Maximalism to step outside their techno bubble.

Step outside that place where a small minority of earth's people live, with a skill that takes years to acquire under the best of circumstances, which enables nuanced differentiation.

Take a trip down to ground level, come see what's being built, and spend time to understand it.

And then tell me Bitcoin Maximalism doesn't make sense.

I am waiting.

The proliferation of endless centralized premine, ICO shitcoins printed out of thin air by silicon valley start ups hiding behind bitcoin to escape from silicon valley regulations and those who support and enable shitcoin casinos are contributing to the confusion. The normalizing of affinity scam marketing and exploitation by companies and VC behind shitcoins is a scourge on bitcoin.

There's no company behind bitcoin. No foundation, premine, ICO, VC, license, trademarks, not even an "official" website, code repo or even a formal specification. There are only bitcoiners. If you think bitcoiners who call out and fight back against marketing of scams in the name of bitcoin are toxic, ask yourself what does that say about you?

When you think about bitcoin, think about this message from Hal Finney,

“The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them. Unlike the world of today, where people are more or less at the mercy of credit agencies, large corporations, and governments.

Naturally, in today's society, with power allocated so disproportionately, such ideas are a threat to large organizations. Balancing power would mean a net loss of power for them. So no institution is going to pick up and champion these ideas.

It's going to have to be a grass-roots activity, one in which individuals first learn of how much power they can have, and then demand it.”

― Hal Finney, The Cypherpunks Mailing List (1992)

Bitcoin is a human project built and shaped by people like you and me. Bitcoin's success originates from grassroots activities like Bitcoin Ekasi empowering people and communities who never had access to the global economy until now. Even if you are not someone who is positively making a difference to bitcoin, at least you can try not to be disruptive to people who are the real heroes of this movement.


Seeing the amount of regulation ‘aka government shitfuckery’ coming I took my first step to Bitcoin Maximalism today. One Alt swapped for BTC. Ten more to go. Going to be a tough road. Attempting one a day. ⚡#bitcoin
