Kanye should join Nostr

I don’t have all the data or the answers, but I do know that, like cigarettes, artificial dyes, vaccines, and seed oils, the digital world is not a natural one. And as creatures of nature, whether created by a big bang, evolution, God, or a combo of all three (depending on your religion), it is my personal common sensical belief, alongside lots of supporting anecdotal and experimental evidence that suggests the most optimal way for a human, and any biological creature, to live is one fully aligned with the environment they were designed for which is the natural world.

Dipping sourdough in red wine is underrated… @Ben Justman🍷 is this Bitcoin wine approved?

Sugar cane is children’s cocaine. Both strip our natural abilities. Both products of fear based, scarcity ridden, addiction controlled minds. Both propagated by the line of Cain, the same line that was ultimately wiped out by the Great Flood as highlighted in story of Noah’s Ark. Cain & Abel, the children of Adam Eve, make an offering to God. Cain becomes jealous of Gods response to Abel and kills Abel. Sugarcane & Cocaine kill natural ABELility (ability). Cain was a farmer and claimed dominion over nature. He gave rise to more sin, industry, and destruction. Adam & Eve have another son, Seth, who is thought to be the replacement to Abel. Abel and Seth lineage were shepherds to nature and tended to it. With time, through Cains leadership, the world became so corrupted. So, God sent a message to Noah, who was over the lineage of Seth, that he was to build an ark. Soon after, God sent the great waters that flooded the Earth and only the innocent including Noah, his family, and all the animals were spared and Cains line of destruction came to an end. Are you part of the line of CAIN or ABEL?

I might just put my entire wealth towards zaps. Along as I have enough real money (milk & honey), I’m good. The rest to Zaps.

I’ve dedicated the last 4 years of my life studying the dynamics of social media & human connection all with health in mind. Inner connection to God, connection to nature, and connection to others in real life is the ultimate way. But, in this digital world, NOSTR is the best path forward that I have seen. “People follow incentives not advice.” ~ James Clear The incentive of current social media platforms is to increase shareholder value. To do this they must increase revenue (or potential revenue). Their revenue models are ads (and now AI). To sell more ads and generate more data for AI, they need more of your attention. So they designed the platforms to get you HOOKED. They’d rather you scrolling than at the dinner table with your family. They have trickled these incentives down the lane to the super users of the platforms: the creators. Creators are algorithmically rewarded to also get you HOOKED. Every good creator knows the first three seconds/line of the post is the most important. It’s called THE HOOK, fishing for our attention. Our attention is an unconscious thing. The most successful hooks tend to be negative even though we don’t consciously desire negative things. But negative media draws us in for some reason. We see this through history books (mostly talk about wartime when most of actual history is peacetime), main stream news media, click bait articles, and now social media hooks & comments. Because these hooks work the best at grabbing your attention, more negative media is fed your way creating a vicious cycle of negative consumption incentivizing more negative creation and the vicious cycle continues. NOSTR changes these incentive structures and with it the incentives structures trickle down the lane to the creators. Nostr is a protocol not a company so increasing shareholder value is not the incentive. With this, your attention is not the primary incentive either. Because anyone can build on top of the Nostr protocol, the platforms incentives shift too. They become more competitive with each other. They must focus on value creation versus revenue creation (often mistaken as the same thing) otherwise the users will move to the other platforms (effortlessly) as the content & followers lives on everywhere through the Nostr protocol. This value creation incentive is trickled down the lane to the super users: the creators. We see this through Zaps (the act of sending Sats which are micro payments of Bitcoin). Creators want the Zaps (money) not just your attention. So users don’t reward creators with their attention but rather with the Zaps (money) they send them. Users are much more CONSCIOUS of who they send their Sats (money) too because it’s public and actual money. On the other hand, they are way less conscious of where their attention goes because it is private and can be tricked unconsciously into negative things via HOOKS. Even if users attention goes to negative things, users are way less likely to send their money to those negative things. So rather than creators just trying to HOOK you in for the algorithmic rewards, they must give you VALUE which is returned back to them via ZAPS (micro payments of Bitcoin) determined directly by the user receiving the value. Nostr apps like Primal can then reward algorithmic discovery based off of zaps rather than pure attention. So rather than platforms like Primal algorithmically pushing content that was most successful at HOOKING people, it pushes content that was consciously deemed most valuable. This creates a more CONSCIOUS cycle of consuming leading to more POSITIVE consumption further incentivizing more VALUE based positive creation. In @paul keating article on social media he mentions Elons tweet saying “X is like the collective consciousness of Earth.” Elon understands more than most that X is also becoming the collective consciousness of AI as it is trained on its data. Considering X’s and other social media model incentivizing negative media, and the understanding that this negative media in away becomes the collective consciousness of Earth and AI, is this not something we should be concerned with? I’d much rather the collective consciousness of Earth and AI be filled with more positive media. NOSTR, although not perfect, at least incentivizes more of that. If Elon is truly concerned with AI safety, I hope he considers moving X’s entire infrastructure to Nostr when Nostr is ready for it. P.S. Collective Consciousness is truly found within not on X if you look for it so inner connection to God, nature, and others in real life is still the ultimate way. naddr1qqgx7atj94ek7cmfv9kz6mt9v35kzqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcq3qspdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpsxpqqqp65w9gtwx3

Do you know where the word “Money” comes from? Originally derived in the Hebrew Bible, It is made up from the words Milk + Honey. “I have come down to rescue them… and bring them… to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey.” — Exodus 3:8 It described the Promised Land (Canaan) — a land of abundance, fertility, and divine blessing. True wealth. 🥛 ➕ 🍯 🟰 💸 Milk + Honey = Money Liquid Gold. Must be raw. Pasteurized milk is counterfeit money. Don’t commit fraud. Money makes you RICH in nutrients. Start putting your money where your mouth is 🥛🍯🤑. If you fact check me on this you will realize I’m joking. But not joking about the fact that Milk & Honey Money is the only money you need.

Rick Rubin has great antennas. There is a direct correlation between wisdom and long hair/long beard. Zeus Aristotle Plato Moses Jesus Leonardo da Vinci Rick Rubin To name a few. Hair is an antenna to the unseen world. The unseen world makes of 99.99% of the world.

Attachment is enslaving you. The present moment is always moving yet always still. It is best resembled by the number 0. Imagine every attachment you have as a chain between you and that thing, literally attached. Things of the past are chaining you backwards into -1, -2, -3…. These might be relationships, regrets, anger, physical things you “own,” etc. Things of the future are chaining you forward into +1, +2, +3… These might be desires like riches, partners, or shiny things… The problem is, you will always be at 0. Attachment just makes that point of 0 more painful with chains pulling you both backward and forward at the same time. By releasing these attachments, you break free from these chains and you can live in peace in the present. The irony is, by detaching, you become more attractive. But don’t let that truth be the reason you detach because if it is you might not truly be detached and you will still not be free.

Would you rather… live in a town with autonomous vehicles and robots mowing your lawn Or A town with no cars (walk or horse) and cows & goats mowing your lawn?

I am curious what life would unfold if fully surrendered to the moment. No plans. No agenda. No strategy. No preparation. No savings. Just live life moment by moment. See what happens. Sounds fun. “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?” ~ Matthew 6:25-27

Most people can only see the connection between A to B. But everything creates a chain reaction. So those that can see the connection between A to B to C…. to Z have the advantage. But truthfully everything is a multi-dimensional chain reaction like a ripple in the water. Those who can recognize that are prophets. And prophets profit - if they care too.

You can be locked up behind bars and more free than someone at home doomscrolling. True freedom is found within. This is why it is called Free DOME. Freedom is all in the mind. And many are slaves to their fears, addictions, and habits. And today many are slaves to the subconscious programming of algorithms which lead to the fears, addictions, and habits. So ask yourself, are you psychologically sovereign? Are you free? I wrote more about this here:

Psychological Sovereignty

Are you truly free?

Emotion affects us more physically than we realize. Think fear for example. Fear constricts the blood vessels and spikes the heart rate. A physical reaction. Chronic fear creates chronic stress which leads to chronic inflammation which leads to chronic disease. E-motion = Energy in motion. When the energy is not in motion, it gets stuck. The body does not want negative emotions so they tend to get stuck. To let our energy flow freely in the present, we must counteract negative emotion with positive emotion. Ex. Fear -> Trust Anger -> Forgiveness Grief -> Gratitude Shame -> Compassion Anxiety -> Hope Loneliness -> Connection Suppression -> Expression But much negative emotion of the past was never addressed. This emotion is likely to have gotten stuck in the body manifesting itself first through inflammation driven tightness & pain and then through disease. This is why babies tend to be more flexible, pain-free, and healthy. On the other hand, the older we get, the more tightness, pain, and disease we get too. Stuck emotion accumulates overtime. To address past emotion, we must first recognize the negative emotional patterns we still have so we can counteract it with the positive one. Then we must identify the tight, pain points in the body and do movements, breathing patterns, and stretches that counteract it. Setting this emotions free feels so good in mind & body. True freedom is found within. If you accomplish this, you will be liberated. This is the truth around health & longevity. I share some counteracting practices and plan to share more in depth here: https://share.getupspace.com/activities/6818ebb3e1c57f77642a870b

A current is the flow of energy. The patterns the energy makes in the flow is information. Currency = Energy + Information. Bitcoin (energy) + Nostr (information) is the way.

Milk + Honey = Money That’s the only money I need.

I would like to take this moment to congratulate everyone on here. You made it 15 years through education system and likely extended through corporate American yet somehow you still found yourself here on Nostr. You escaped a system designed to deplete you so you obey, yet you are here because you or someone close to you believes in freedom of information and likely energy too. 🤝👏

Did you know the federal income tax was deemed unconstitutional until 1913? The IRS & federal reserve were established that same year. And then the next year World I began and they raised the tax rate.

If you support: - endless wars - chronic disease - ponzi schemes Keep paying your federal income tax…

$44 Trillion is ‘passively’ invested in retirement assets. For context, the M2 Money Supply is $22T and Bitcoins market cap is $1.9T. The vast majority of these passive investments go to mutual funds or other products by Vanguard, BlackRock, Fidelity, State Street, etc. These institutions then have the power to reallocate the funds within the funds to different companies. They also often hold the voting rights in the companies of the investments they made with others money. They now own over 20% of all market capitalization in the U.S. and they are the single largest shareholder in 84% of them. They can use the power to move the money (financial leverage) and voting rights (contractual pressure) to control entire markets, companies, and their employees. This is where we saw the unity cancellation during Covid where one tweet about the potential harms of vaccines led to the user being cancelled by Twitter, PayPal, and Dropbox - three companies that have nothing to do with the other except the control mentioned above. This is all to say that current “passive” retirement investing is one of the most unknown destructive things to society today. NONE of this money goes back into the individuals local community. NONE of this money goes into any small business. Instead it contributes to organizations that are profiting off of the demise of them both. It is feeding the belly of the beast just as much as the federal income tax. Instead this money should be “consciously” invested into Bitcoin, local small businesses, or local land. Bitcoin is just the easiest as it can be done in a blink of an eye, over the internet, and in micro payments vs lump sum. The average annual passive retirement contribution is $7700. If you contributed this to retirement assets since 2012, you’d have $160k of mostly un-liquid capital today. If you contribute to Bitcoin instead, you’d have $1.3B liquid. I understand 2012 is early and the price fluctuated a ton. So here is the comparison of what you’d have today if you invested the average annual retirement contribution of $7700 in the “passive” retirement assets vs “conscious” Bitcoin since 2017: Retirement assets: $88k vs Bitcoin: $1.6m There needs to be more awareness around this. To summarize; “Passive” investing in retirement assets indirectly supports centralization of power which causes all sorts of negative downstream effects that directly hurt you all while giving you a smaller, less liquid return. On the other hand, “conscious” investing with those same dollars supports decentralization of power while giving you a larger, more liquid return. P.S. By investing in retirement assets, you indirectly support companies you don’t believe in as many of them are in the funds that your money gets allocated too like Balenziaga (via Kerig) which publicly promotes child sex abuse via their marketing campaigns. So whether you take a philosophical approach, moral approach, or pure greed approach, Bitcoin makes more sense than passive retirement fund’s.
