shrinking governments won't work unless you shrink them all at once.

hey Bitcoiners, "freedom tech" / sovereignty folks: - love the enthusiasm - hate the narrow scope of understanding learn about systems. learn about externalities. be brutally honest about your ignorance.

gender is a formal axiomatic system. this is not obvious, because language serves both to describe our world and allow us to reason about it. this is to say that ideas about gender, ways of describing how arbitrarily messy humans *fit* into genders, will always either be: -incomplete but consistent -complete but inconsistent a lot of discussion would rather insist that restrictive binary gender ideologies are complete AND consistent. which is absurd.

oddbean.com is kinda cool, but i'm tricked into thinking it's going to be HN style content... and then it's just *regular* Nostr shit, that is presented better elsewhere. ODELL's GMstack "autopost" seems very trite in this context, for example.

i think it's delusional to just accept the gender life path someone else prescribed to you when you were a baby without further interrogation on your part. accepting it as anything other than a social lever is batshit crazy. there's a reason for all the vitriol aimed specifically at transwomen: they've transgressed against "manhood."
