The ratio of stay humble and stack sats is off. More humble is needed. Not less stacking but more humility.

How many of us American Christians can name more church fathers than founding fathers? Other than my Orthodox brothers and sisters. My guess is most of us need to get our priorities in order. Starting with me. Just a thought I had while listening to my pastor's sermon this morning. Of course we could say the same of the Scriptures vs movies and sports stats. Talk is cheap.

Any stackers read this book. I've never heard of it but I love and recommend the book it is inspired by "Economics in One Lesson". I heard about it while listening to the "[Haman Nature](https://hamannature.substack.com/p/how-profits-actually-tend-to-lower)" podcast. Which is worth a listen by the way. I'm wondering if this is a good book to recommend people as an easy primer on econ. Economics in One Lesson really opened my eyes when I first read it many years ago. I sent me down a train of thought with many questions. Questioning many things I had just taken at face value. It wasn't a hard read and it was entertaining. Few econ books can make those claims. https://stacker.news/items/1071181

I get it when normies complain about stuff like censorship. They don't understand bitcoin, they don't know Nostr exists, they don't understand tech in general. But bitcoiners that complain on X about this crap... People that complain that some bitcoiner is being throttled or banned on YouTube, X, or whatever walled garden is hot today. We've had tools to fight this stuff for a long time. RSS Nostr Bitcoin Be the change. Don't beg Elon or whoever runs YouTube today. Vote with your feet. Use the tools.

Been thinking about this lately. The older I get and more life I experience the more clear this thought becomes. **Most of what we love about living in America is thanks to the cultural consequences of the Christian faith.** Not *Democracy*, not the *Constitution*, not *Capitalism*. The crumbling that we see around us at its root is caused by a massive turn away from God, our faith, and our traditions. Families are the next layer and the destruction of the family is predicated by the obsession with self. The idolization of our own wisdom, knowledge, and desires over the humble realization that God's riches are far greater than any carnal pleasure we might desire. As C.S. Lewis wrote > "It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." ― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses I think more and more people are seeing these things, counting the cost, and returning to faith and tradition. As followers of Jesus it is not a time to be discouraged but rather look up to our hope and be beacons of truth and love.

Just occured to me that more people are offended by fake writing and content inflation (AI Slop) than monetary inflation. If you disagree I'd recommend you talk to more normies.
