“No country and survive a wealth tax” I think is a very important line to consider. The idea that Labour literally have no idea what they’re getting want to what they’re doing, and will turn the population against what ever they propose is also fanatic saying. https://share.google/PEo0Ulkx9vDWHlEHz

Shocking, floundering chancellor looks to blame something that took place 9 years ago for the fact she made some pretty questionable decisions a year ago and the consequences are that she is out of her depth, borrowing costs are going parabolic (gradually then suddenly) amd, not helped by her or her party, the economy could be about to nosedive? Never mind Brexit, time for a personal Mexit, and that doesn’t necessarily mean me exiting the UK, more with withdrawing my economic activity from her broken system. Hey, they don’t like #bitcoin, so they can’t complain about when we keep it out of their system!!! Gm freaks. image

Gm nostriches, dark morning, #coffeechain in the cup of choice to get me going. Now, don’t judge the exchange I was using at the time (so much shotcoinery!!!!), but this screenshot came up from 4 years ago today, happy ATH anniversary day, ah, when all time highs are now what we call “super cheap sats”. Remember that now, cheap is all about perspective.

Ge nostriches, while potentially “sensitive” I saw someone, a friend of my kid wearing a “they/them” badge (I think they are 14 maybe 15), and began to think, what is the impact of this decision (supported by the “progressive parent”). On the one side it could be like being a Christian and saying I’m not interested in being in a sexual relationship right now, which I think is absolutely fine, but what is the impact on their relationships with everyone else. Girls in their class have been told “they” don’t identify with “them”, boys in their class class (as I would have) will say, I’m lost, I literally don’t understand what’s going on. And the result, an individual who has been (either by choice or supported by their “progressive parents”) separated from everyone who hasn’t chosen “their” path, that doesn’t at least aspire to a romantic relationship or hope to one day find a mate, not building those relationship, either platonic or maybe something more. I may have once joked about the they/she badge (just because my little brain crashed when I tried to understand what this meant), but I also feel this is a cop out of parents who want to “be cool” and “accepting” of the latest theme they’re seen on social media (look as me, my kid is “different”), because to deny it would suggest they are awful bigots. Hmmm, i know I’m wrong and a bad person, but I’d also really like if these parents thought critically about things, and asked themselves, what their parents or grandparents say about what they were doing.

Gm nostriches, gave a lecture on Monday and desperately trying to spark some enthusiasm and curiosity in the students to ask questions and explore the world around them through research. Given there are still 76k sats in a wallet that they had to find the seed words for in the module material, I tempering my optimism……. But I can but try

Gm nostriches, loving listening to @ODELL and @Danny Knowles on a Saturday morning with my #coffeechain (hmm, time for a second cup?). Come on Danny, spend more time on nostr, we’re friendly, we shout less and pretty confident the signal is a lot stronger. Also, bitcoin is the truth, stay humble AND stack sats, we need to work on winning, don’t succumb to the rage bating, oh and get outside to enjoy the sun (sorry nost britishes, you’ll need to wait until April!!!!)

Gm nostriches, @_Checkɱate 🔑⚡🌋☢️🛢️ with his new line, which I rather like, “gold shows us where we’re going, #bitcoin gives us the path the get there” Nearly 10% in a week for goal is properly WILD!!!! If the old/massive/state money is playing this trade, bitcoin may be more a liquidity play, currently telling myself I shouldn’t switch my mstr into gold as I’m just FOMOing and the trade it done, but fiat debasement isn’t done, so why should the gold rally, and anyway, better hold the gold than the debasing currency. image

Fascinating chat with Curtis Yarvin, the passengers electing the pilot is a great argument against democracy (or now add electing the pilot that will give them to most free shit), but the part I liked the most, “we need to talk about Kevin” subtly slid in there in relation to burning the kitchen curtains “for science”. 🫡🙌 Potential too few “mandibles then Bitcoin standard” Lionel Schriver lines from @ODELL on @RABBIT HOLE RECAP at the moment, but the macrosphere is certainly taking us in that direction . image

Gm nostriches, well, completed by anti racism and white privilege training, and I feel better able to call out racism when I see it. Covert racism: not commenting on staff performance for fear of being called a racist/sexist Casual/ overt racism: look, the poor privileged middle aged white guy feels hard done to!!! Structural racism: we need less seniors managers that look like you, so no promotion for you. Structural racism: we have a target for the number of profs that fit our edi template. My actions to promote anti racism: withdraw my time and effort from the racist system. Really enjoyed the training, unsure this was what they were hoping I’d take from the equality of outcomes brain washing. Unsure I’m benefiting from white privilege, I’m now benefiting for applying myself, learning stuff and investing in hard assets. I don’t need a leg up and it’s nothing to do with the colour of my skin or which chromosome I was born with. Also, am I the bad guy? Happy Thursday freaks.

I think I may have begun to understand how to calmly response to the ideas put forward by Zack Polanski, Green Party Leader. But critically, not liking him doesn’t mean I’m anti environmental policies, it means I’m anti “Green Party policies”, not because of the Green elements, but because they are communist. Communism and those attempting to implement it are responsible for more deaths than both world wars combined, and if the actors peddling communist policies don’t realise this, maybe they are simply reading the lines they have been fed….. Oh, “Dave” Polanski is a trained actor, “hypnotist” and previously a Lib Dem, nothing against them, but changing your stripes to pursue “eco-populism” just feels like a bad actor pursuing fame and fortune which ever way he can. Take a little look at the communist manifesto, and tell me it didn’t inspire this populist movement, aiming to appeal to those poor souls unable think critically enough to ask “but where does the motivation and money come from if not from your hard work, if you want to ‘eat the rich’ when they’re eaten, who do you eat”? Also, really want to hear his views (as a vegan) on where the vegetables come from. Environmental policies are literally destroying farm, so how on early will he square that circle. For those interested the news article from 2013, someone putting their website with a price for hypnotising you for bigger boobs, feels scammy to me. “Oh I was only doing an experiment”, I call bullshit, if it was, youmwiildn’t price your service. Everyone’s a scammer (@bitstein ), particularly this guy.
