"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." - Edward Bernays

Creating an Arena for Flourishing

Our Worldview is our Home in the World

I have discussed in an essay how Bitcoin is a layer of cognition that allows us to build and think long term. I believe it is one of the most powerful base layers we can collectively integrate into our distributed cognition. I believe it has the potential to shape our individual cognition and the relationships in our orbit towards virtuous ends. I said in that essay that the Bitcoin network is cultural layer one. But presence is pre-layering.

What Could I Know If I Was Present to the Underlying Reality of the World?

Thanks for reading Invisible Environment!

How do you know you’re doing good in the world? It may seem self evident that you’re internal barometer for good will lead you toward it. But most, if not all evil committed in the world was in service of what was thought to be the “good”. It feels like an easy question, yet we’ve tripped over it our entire existence as a species.

Just bought dog food with sats. Like it or not, this is the face of the future of money. @Bitcoin Jungle @FRANCIS - BULLBITCOIN.COM #bitcoinjungle #SINPE #bitcoin #nosara #costarica

Shoutout to @Bitcoin Jungle wallet and @FRANCIS - BULLBITCOIN.COM for the SINPE integration. I arrived in Nosara, Costa Rica late last night and realized I had no cash to tip my driver. Like magic I sent sats and he received colones. No KYC. A beautiful tool to move toward a bitcoin standard, and to start conversations about accepting bitcoin all across this beautiful country.

#Bitcoin Freedom Festival was a truly beautiful experience. So many great conversations with great humans trying to think deeply about improving the world. Thanks to @Bitcoin Jungle for all the hard work. It’s inspiring to see the Bitcoin economy that has already been built here. Looking forward to visiting again and seeing it grow. #bitcoinfreedomfestival #bitcoinjungle #nostr
