Last year we were trying to make our first bigger (2 days long) trail with the little one and Kvido the dog. It was beautiful. Martina was already pregnant by this time. Pregnant, carrying huge bagpack, sleeping under stars and breastfeeding on the rock. What a woman.

What the fuck happened to me in last two years? (for Czech readers: https://atedskoc.cz/?p=200 ) In the last two years, the quality of my everyday lived reality has reached a completely new level. A level that I never thought was possible. I feel like I've been reborn. Every day is experienced with ease and without any struggle. All problems turned into interesting games, communication is not a problem, I no longer feel embarrassed, I've stopped being nervous, and I've experienced the wonderful feeling of being spontaneous, switching off my mind and letting my body be guided by a the famous magical flow experienced by artists, athletes, and others. It's as if I had lived with a bag over my head for 29 years. It's as if I had a transparent curtain around me since puberty, which has now been lifted. It's as if I were whole life underwater and now emerged and discovered that I can breathe normally. Life is suddenly beautiful and easy. I feel beautiful myself (even if it may sound egoistic, it's just how it is), and everyone is beautiful in some way. I can play with children for hours without suffering and constantly checking the time and... well, that's probably enough, I think you get it. Lets get to the question of what the fuck caused this tremendous change? The answer is - I don't know. I have absolutely no idea. But I can write down things that I have changed or done in the last two years, and maybe it will inspire someone with similar feelings of not living fully, with feelings, that there must be something better, otherwise this life just kind of sucks. This is how I eventually got to the "something better" I have sought after for years. 1- My second son was born. 2- I stopped working in my field and started living extremely minimalisticaly, doing only things that I enjoy + doing a few primitive odd jobs just for money (maximum 3 months per year). 3- I started living with my family in a van as nomads. Full time. Most of the year, I don't worry about what will happen tomorrow, in a week, or in a month, we just exist. 4- I did ayahuasca. Twice. During the first experience, I relived my own birth (which helped me to resolve issues with my mother), and during the second, I literally crashed to the ground and briefly died (experiencing that famous and infinite nothingness) and spent hours reconstructing reality back thought by thought. 5- I started eating a carnivorous diet and gained an unprecedented amount of energy every day. 6- I got into bitcoin/cryptoanarchist/anarchocapitalist/lunarpunk community and found out what freedom truly means. Something from this list caused it (or I think so). It could have been just one thing. It could have been everything together. Or something completely different. Who knows. Maybe try something and see. I wish you a happy journey :). Do you have similar feelings with something you started few years back?

Animal encounters during traveling (and I did not capture the dolphins and many others). Biology lessons live :). #worldschooling, #unschooling, #vonu, #travel, #van, #vanlife, #animals

Thank you very much, I think I'm starting to feel like trying habla soon.

Chilling evening atmosphere at our place (classical van and teepee combo) with beautiful stars and moon. Lets make some fire. #vonu #vanlife #worldschooling #traveling

I just found myself on a list of “Suggested popular nostr accounts” under section “parenting”. Feels like winning some sort of price :). Take s look on others, if you want to find more people not posting only about bitcoin.

One thought that came to me in my last Ayuahuasca session is that we are only accountable to ourselves regarding the meaning and purpose of our lives. There will never be and has never been anyone to determine that meaning for us, it is up to us and us alone to stand before ourselves. https://nostr.build/i/b6d743c318411a1b901f935e5ba31ed14195912be7c1aa13bef112c63041816b.jpg{:height 387, :width 673} What I mean is that no state, authority, or parent can determine the worth of our lives. We are not answerable to society, authorities, or anyone else when it comes to our happiness. Take a look at me. I am regarded as a failure by 80% of people. I have no money, my family and I live in a rusty van, I am a homeless person who has never accomplished anything, never had a career, does not have any normal money (just the weird bit-something) and smells. However, I should not be here to make an impression on others. I should not be here to prove to others that my life holds value (although it is sometimes hard to remember this). I am solely accountable to myself, and currently, I am more satisfied with myself than I have ever been, regardless of whether I succeeded in the film industry (in which I was participating before), built a house, or accumulated wealth. If these things hold no significance to me, there is no reason to have them in my life just because they are expected. Likewise, we should not impose these false expectations on our children. There is no predefined right path in life. Each individual must find their own path that brings them contentment, and they will always be responsible for their own journey. Nobody else is capable of evaluating it, not even us - parents.

Martina and I have been intrigued by the biohacker community lately (me more than Martina, I guess :) ). We've enjoyed the holistic approach of techniques to make our lives a more energetic, sustainable and fulfilling ride. However, we soon ran into a problem. Our ascetic lifestyle is not very consistent with acquiring all sorts of technological gadgets, expensive nutritional supplements, or other typical biohacker products. So we got to thinking - is it really necessary to spend half of our monthly income on biohacking? My guess is no. I think that many people starting out with biohacking immediately jump on the most expensive tech gadgets, yet they are far from having figured out things they can start doing for free and immediately. Let's start with the cheapest biohacking - Focus not on what new things to get, but instead on what things to cut out of your life. What things to stop buying. Who knows, you might even save money in the end. Here are some ideas: - Stop eating junk food. Junk food is not only demonstrably unhealthy, but even prohibitively expensive. Junk food is the worst price/performance combination ever. At a high price, it will even give you negative performance. It harms you, it takes away your energy, it paralyses you. One of the worst business deals ever. - Buy only water. Flavored, over-sweetened sodas and alcohol also give you negative benefits at too high a price. By cutting out these things and replacing them with plain water, you not only save money, but also extend the quality and length of your life. - Meditate. That's a classic. One of the best free biohacks. Just sit back, breathe, and you're off. - Exercise. Exercise with your own body weight, do yoga, run... you don't need a gym membership or expensive equipment right away. - Keep fasting. Much has been written about the benefits of fasting. Moreover, this biohack is not only zero cost, but even negative. You actually make money from not having to buy any food at all and you get better antifragility and maybe even health. - Go to bed on time. Also, don't look at your phone before bed and get the best quality sleep you can. You'll have plenty of free energy the next day. - Walk and cycle. Need to get somewhere in the city? Ride a bike. You'll save money on public transport and get valuable extra exercise at the same time. And it's not too time-consuming either, you just need to make a small mindset shift: if you didn't bike, you'd still have to reserve the time later the day to get some exercise, right? - Learn proper time management techniques. Don't leave your phone on when you need to focus, schedule your day well, stop procrastinating and learn how to find flow states. It will save you a lot of time, energy, and mental health. - Don't pay for Netflix. You will save money and no one will try to steal your time that you can spend practicing or developing. Win Win. - Don't go to Twitter, go to NOSTR Not only will you move from a highly toxic environment with the mood of a post-apocalyptic, slowly disintegrating society to one that is building, enthusiastic and positive, but you can also make some money from it. Not only that. Zaps may not make you rich, but they have an excellent motivational ability to get you to write and also to think about whether what you're writing is of real value. - If you can think of any other biohacking for free or with negative value, let me know in the comments :).

Just trying new @Openvibe #plebstr inegrated image posting.

After visiting the beautiful BTC Prague and the even more beautiful Paralelní Polis in Prague (I express my gratitude to @Juraj Juraj Bednár for the top-notch tour), I now face a workweek to replenish all the sats I spent during this week when Prague was buzzing with cryptocurrencies, cypherpunks, crypto-anarchy, and Nostr, While it's possible to live in a van with kids and a dog in the middle of a city, it's not pleasant in the long term (especially for a mother and children). Therefore, we have decided to split for this week. While my wife sets off to nature with the van and the kids, I, on the other hand, am taking our teepee and staying in Prague. Luckily, I have the privilege of utilizing my friends' garden, situated on the outskirts of Prague. I brought along a fridge from the car (since my wife, being a vegetarian, doesn't use the fridge), and I've set up my nomadic dwelling there, where I'll retreat to sleep after a day's work. Aside from borrowing electricity from my friends, I am fully self-sufficient, and I am delighted that even though I am on their property, I won't bother them at all if they need some time for themselves. If I were living in the southern regions, I believe I could comfortably reside in this teepee throughout the entire year. It's truly remarkable to be able to live in something that costs no more than a basic M1 MacBook. I simply love the nomadic lifestyle. #Nomad #Travel

What if bitcoin ends tommorow and we all find out it was all for nothing? Well, I do not think we will ever be able to say "it was all for nothing" anymore... In my opinion, the value of Bitcoin lies not only in its potential to become a global currency in the future but also in the fact that it has created a massive rabbit hole in this world over the course of a few years. People are falling into this hole by the hundreds and beginning to understand what money is, what a state is, what taxes and inflation are. It helps them stop and reflect on whether something is not wrong with the states. And once they have seen the truth, no one can take that away from them. The harm was already done. Even if Bitcoin were to plummet to zero tomorrow, it has already opened so many minds that it could be considered a tremendous success. And if you continue to open minds in the future, you won't have to worry about whether Bitcoin fails, because those minds won't easily close again, and your impact will remain regardless of the price. Even if the ultimate purpose of Bitcoin is simply to offer a mindshift to people, it is still an incredibly successful and valuable project with no equivalent. Think about how many people initially wanted to get rich because they saw their friends' percentages rise. They bought in and then became nervous because they were risking their own skin. And so, out of nervousness, they started educating themselves. Suddenly, you have decentralization, freedom, the Austrian School, and anarchy being introduced to an unprecedented number of normies. I know it, because it happened to me too.
