“Give me order, and time; and I will give you design.” -Charles Darwin, paraphrased “I give you sound money, and have done everything I can to make sure it belongs to EVERYONE; and you will give yourself freedom and prosperity.” -Satoshi Nakamoto, paraphrased “Give us free speech, and we will free ourselves.” -Nostriches #Bitcoin #nostr

Somebody tell someone at bandcamp about zaps!

Cypherpunks write code (I just tell a machine to draw me cool pictures)

FREEDOM MONEY + FREE SPEECH = ::my face when:: #bitcoin #nostr #StreamForSats #value4value

Friends don’t let friends buy shitcoins! Jesus Christ disapproves of your shenanigans #Bitcoin only! 1) DCA 2) BTFD 3) HODL 4) sleep well, zap yer buddy

#Bitcoin is the blood #nostr is the brain Freedom evolves.

#Bitcoin helps us capture and preserve our energy #nostr helps us decide what kind of future we want to build with it

Give me your canceled, your shadowbanned, your critical thinkers, yearning to speak free

Shiny happy people zapping sats!

(Riffing on Dennett is my current thing, apparently) #Bitcoin changes everything. It’s a “universal acid”, eating through everything it touches, including any container. That makes it a tremendous thinking tool. Bitcoin forces us to come to terms with things we THOUGHT we understood, but only because most of us tacitly agree to collectively NOT look too closely. We hover around the topic, not digging too deep. We all have fuzzy concepts that overlap enough for us to make do. But we can find that we might mean very different things when using a given set of words. What is “life”? What is a “mind”? What is “money”? ******* Evolution by natural selection explains the unity and diversity of life on Earth. Design without a designer. Darwin’s “strange inversion of reasoning” was summarized by a critic as: “‘In order to make a perfect and beautiful thing, it is not requisite to know how to make it!’” It was said pejoratively, but it ***is*** accurate. There is amazing design in living things. Darwin’s theory explains it. ***** Dennett riffs on this when looking at Alan Turing, who invented the computer. (Later made practical by Von Neumann). Turing’s strange inversion: “In order to be a perfect computing machine, it is not prerequisite to understand arithmetic”. By arranging matter and energy in a precise way, a machine can do work that used to require a thinking person, trained for years or decades. In principle, there isn’t anything a mathematician can do that cannot be replicated by a machine; given adequate resources. You can make a calculator. Or a chess player. Or a digital “painter” that takes text as input and renders astonishingly relevant, compelling, and varied images. ********* What is Satoshi’s strange inversion? I have a feeling for the character, but haven’t found words that match the other two just yet. 1/n

#nostrmarket my personal proof-of-work is live-recorded hardware-based electronic music. I just dabble, there are some killer artists in this niche. If you want some short commissioned pieces, say for a podcast intro or something, maybe HMU. I’m a bit out of practice right now, and have some things happening on the homefront, but want to get back into performing and playing regularly. Love doing it for it’s own sake, but getting a few sats would be FUCKIN RAD. An example below: Live jam, recorded direct to video. Starts from blank, and not IMPROVISED exactly, as this was take twelve or so:

Anyone here using Keet?

“Shitcoiners get rekt” It’s a historical fact. It’s a prediction. It’s a request. #Bitcoin only

PV plebs! Friday night rekt (physically) Workin hard

Stupid random test, short video
