Based on this speech… this man is more American than all of our politicians combined.

I would love to grow my node and the network. Fell free to open channels and I will balance. 022eedc8acac04e78faa75053458dabfc1b711b67854caac3dd3443f1a0b9e25a2 #noderunner #lightning #bitcoin

1. abolition of private property. 2. abolition of family. 3. abolition of religion. 4. abolition of hierarchies. If you encounter someone who promotes any of those ideas fight or run. They are infected by a brain virus. #socialism

Happy Thanksgiving #Nostr!

Good luck! #JavierMilei #Argentina

Remember, remember the 5th of November. The gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

The Man in the Arena “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt

His name is Satoshi. Looking at a bright orange future. #dogstr

Prudence Justice Fortitude Temperance Nobody ever said it’s gonna be easy kid. Life is gonna be so much more than you ever hoped for if you never stop giving your best.

Once reached there is never an easy way out of suffering…

As a millennial I believe we have two generational tasks to accomplish. 1. Fix the base layer of human interaction aka money, by separating it from governments, to end every form of manipulation. --> I think #Bitcoin is our best and maybe only chance. 2. Fix social media, by separating it from big corporations to bring an end to user exploitation through monetization of their data, which is turning people into products. --> I think open protocols will bring the solution and #Nostr with integrated Lightning payments might be the break though.

“To suppress any uprising in advance, it is important not to do so violently. Archaic methods like Hitler's are clearly outdated. It is enough to create a collective conditioning so strong that the very idea of revolt ceases to exist. The ideal would be to train individuals from birth by limiting their innate biological abilities... Then we would continue to condition by drastically reducing the level and quality of education, to bring it back to a form of professional integration. An uneducated individual has only a limited horizon of thought, and the more his thought is limited to material, mediocre concerns, the less he can revolt. We must ensure that access to knowledge becomes more and more difficult and elitist... ... that the gap widens between men and science, that information intended for the general public is anesthetized by any subversive content. Especially without philosophy. There again, it is necessary to use persuasion and not direct violence: one will massively diffuse, by the means of television, astonishing entertainments, always flattering the emotional, the instinctive. We will occupy minds with what is vain and playful. It's good with incessant chatter and music, to keep the mind from wondering, thinking, pondering. We will put sexuality at the forefront of human interests. As a social anesthetic, there is nothing better. Care will generally be taken to banish the seriousness of existence, to make fun of everything that has value, to maintain a constant plea for levity; so that the euphoria of advertising, of consumption, becomes the standard of human happiness and the model of freedom. Conditioning will thus produce such self-integration that the only fear (which will have to be maintained) will be that of being excluded from the system and therefore of not being able to access the material conditions necessary for happiness. The ordinary man, thus produced, must be treated as what he is: a product, a calf, and must be supervised as a herd must be. Anything that allows his lucidity to fall asleep, his critical spirit is socially good, anything that might wake him up must be fought, ridiculed, stifled... Any doctrine that challenges the system must first be categorized as subversive and terrorist, and those who support it must then be treated as such." Günther Anders - The Obsolescence of Man, 1956

Book discussion: the quest for cosmic Justice by Thomas Sowell. Worth listening to. Interesting that this book was published 1996. This has come a long way since then and suggests how long it could take to reverse.
