Who can relate?

I am currently reading "The origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" by Julian Jaynes . In this book, Jaynes proposes that ancient people were not conscious. They followed the commands given by the voices in their head, which they believed to be gods. Sounds a lot like modern NPCs. Sure, they have no voices in their heads - unless they are schizophrenic - but they follow commands given to them from legacy media. #consciousness #book #schizophrenic

Two scoops of ice cream at my local ice cream stand cost 4.9 euros today, compared to just 4.1 euros a year ago. That's 19% inflation in euros. In Bitcoin, you pay 4,800 Sats today, compared to almost 10,000 a year ago. Inflation is a choice. #inflation #deflation #bitcoin

A guy wants to send me $100 from a foreign country. I suggest paying via Lightning. He says "I am not doing crypto." So I am setting up an account on Wise to receive my money. For this they need my: - Selfie - Birthday - Address - Tax number - Email address - Picture of my ID - Income declaration - Test payment from my bank account WTF

Anybody here publishing short stories or fiction on Nostr? I was thinking of submitting my sci-fi short story to a magazine. Then realized that whole scene feels like it’s on life support. I mean is anyone still reading those magazines? Worse most of them went full woke. I can't even submit my story if I am not Indigenous or something like that. However, I am convinced there is still a market for stories. Especially sci-fi. So why not just drop them here on Nostr and get paid in Zaps? #ScienceFiction #scifi #shortstory #nostr #shortfiction

They say you can escape inflation with Bitcoin. But it’s not so easy. You still suffer from: - shrinkage of packaging - decreased quality How to fix this? #inflation #bitcoin

The poor are crazy, the rich just eccentric
