 the combination of these 4 simple things in plan9 result in some pretty cool abilities.
1. everything is a file, including system controls.
2. all files can recieve text strings.
3. sending file names to the system plumber with right click opens the file in the correct application.
4. the acme editor is also a file browser, and a file controled by text strings.

The result is that everything can be turned into a list in a simple text document, and interacted with.
A list of urls in the editor, is also a bookmark list, and a right click will open a url in the browser.
A list of books in the editor is also a reading list, right click opens the pdf in the reader.
A list of music files in the editor, can be controled with a simple while loop, looking for the string '<--', and playing that file next, while moving the string to the end of the next line.
Everything can be controled this way. Its so simple, its weird.  
 how cool would it be to be a brute in the woods swinging an axe, 🪓 while knowing more about most subjects than the “experts”, who still believe learning happens in brick and mortar institutions and not in the mind.? 
 if you had to deal with highly opinionated people, or emotionally unstable people, which would you choose, and why? 
 your caveats are your answer. 
 i dont stick around for that. 
 although, as of late, ive theorized if i have a grounded enough root, it should bounce off and go around. 
 that means you’re highly opinionated.

violence is often the path of cowardice. 
 democrats pay fiat influencers on social media to malign bitcoin, because the mega corporation banks donate to their campaigns generously, and get them lucrative deals after they get out of office 
 yeah, but some people aren’t comfortable being paid directly for their work. they want to make sure the money goes through several mega-corporation banks first so the bankers can take lots of fees to pay for the CEO’s mega yachts 🛥️ 
 thanks to @AVERAGE_GARY,
im pondering the difference between merit fame, and fiat fame.

 i would be happy with one 20kg bell, and a tractor tire.

 @AVERAGE_GARY  famous for believing they’re famous.

@Amrush the world does that. not just nostr. stay humble, stack sats. 
 fame was warped before Babylon fell.
do you view “fiat” in this context as all that presents fake value, but has no real value? if so, i agree 
 also, youre a good man 👍 
 Its an interesting principle.
ive called it empire, or the empire of man, but its the same. 
 my current belief is that empire, which started with Nimrod and Babel, is incompatible with the Kingdom. And that we largely have no idea what the Kingdom actually is, or how the Seven Mountains of culture look in a Kingdom paradigm. I have no answers there either. Ive been asking for revelation there, and see the edges of how it looks in my own life. 
 as far as job titles go, Major Gifts Officer is pretty great.

 i reject the boomer midwit idea that a nations value has anything to do with which fiat currency it uses. 
 happy December. 🙂

 Nobody wants the USD for international trade unless they're purchasing something FROM the US. Any...

 you don’t represent the rest of the world. 
 Yes. like i said before, you don’t represent the rest of the world. 
 why is it a threat?
why isnt it just other sovereign nations making their own choices?
if its a threat, the US has something wrong. 
 you say “people” like you speak for the world. you dont. 🙂 
 then stop making sounds with your facehole. 🙂 
 sure it is.  i know i want to mute you now. 
 but we should always trust the experts. right? nostr:note1zukvwekrkgrsywlexucyjnt8ewnvd844gresph68yrcekc5fqxes3pmvl5 
 lets see what the actual effect of this kind of hubris is.
will it cause nations to use the dollar, or will it escalate the timeline of the large number of nations moving away from it? we will see. https://image.nostr.build/f4a512b88abdb0eb0b5f5ee58a32f92aad7b3c2d5f4e3563c0145b49da4f4890.jpg  
 that already happened. 
 nope. it doesn’t. 
 while in a swim gym somewhere near the Hungary Austria border, i realized i left my phone/wallet in an open air thrift store in suburban Hungary. I was so bothered, i woke up out of the dream to look for it. 😆 
 fell back asleep, went back into the same dream. i hiked up a mountain to where a tiny traditional cheese making store was. Tucker Carlson was working the counter. I showed him research, asking him if he knew the origin of a particular kind of cheese. So he got on the phone to ask influential people. Somehow, finding the origin of this cheese was going to help me cast out ancient demonic strongholds attached to an ancient library.
