Appalcianist: an individual defending the right of something they dislike because the alternative is giving more power to something they hate

Under a Bitcoin Standard, no one runs for leadership roles. They are bestowed upon the most qualified based on the current situation, mission, and need. Comanche chiefs were not elected or selected in any formal way. Followers gravitated to those in the community who were most deserving. When a war party was needed, someone who asked for volunteers and would have to convince others based on their past performance, ability of persuasion, and plan of action for that particular mission. It was completely decentralized leadership without a single unifying head for Comancheria, arguably the most powerful empire to live in North America. Young men trying to make a name for themselves or win over a woman would have to show their virtue. These are the principles that human culture has lived by for millennia and have only recently forgotten about because we’re convinced modernity is so much superior to the past. We are the most privileged idiots who have ever existed on the planet and it shows. If you know and understand this, it’s your duty to carry on this legacy for future generations.

Go crush life today! Be great. There is no second best.

14th book of 2024 complete: Meditations by Marcus Aurelius Always great to go back to the classics. There is a lot of wisdom to be learned from those who lived before us, before technology distracted us from understanding and living virtuously. @Mike Hobart recommended this book on @Robert Breedlove's show

13th book of 2024 complete: Taxing Wars: The American Way of War Finance and the Decline of Democracy by Sarah Kreps With the costs of wars expanding rapidly, politicians are loathe to raise taxes which would bring questions, scrutiny, and pushback So they have turned to borrowing to obfuscate their wars and the costs Thanks to @Gabe for telling me about this book after seeing the author give a talk at #BitcoinAtlantis
