I imagined an image, but the image I imagined wasn’t the image I imagined I imagined…

William Stout, 1977 #artstr

A group of blind men heard that a strange animal, called an elephant, had been brought to the town, but none of them were aware of its shape and form. Out of curiosity, they said: "We must inspect and know it by touch, of which we are capable". So, they sought it out, and when they found it they groped about it. The first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said, "This being is like a thick snake". For another one whose hand reached its ear, it seemed like a kind of fan. As for another person, whose hand was upon its leg, said, the elephant is a pillar like a tree-trunk. The blind man who placed his hand upon its side said the elephant, "is a wall". Another who felt its tail, described it as a rope. The last felt its tusk, stating the elephant is that which is hard, smooth and like a spear. #parablestr

List of thought-terminating clichés: "It is what it is." "That's just the way it is." "Everything happens for a reason." "Let's agree to disagree." "It'll all work out." "You're overreacting." "Calm down." "Boys will be boys." "That's just how people are." "We're all doing our best." "There's no use crying over spilled milk." "That's just the way things are." "Don't be so sensitive." "They're just jealous." "Live and let live." "That's politics." "You can't change human nature." "It's part of life." "Everyone does it." Thought-terminating clichés are short, familiar phrases that halt critical thinking by offering ready-made answers or dismissals instead of engaging with nuance. They function as conversational shortcuts that deflect questions, invalidate feelings, and close debate—often protecting social comfort or existing power structures by discouraging further inquiry. Overused in personal, political, and institutional contexts, these clichés ease momentary tension but perpetuate misunderstanding and prevent meaningful change.

Let me say it again for those of you in the back obsessed with #NGU – The true value of #Bitcoin lies not in its digits, but in the sovereignty it unleashes. #Bitcoin is the tool for opt-out, a protocol of #resistance , and the foundation for a new, voluntary social-order free from coercive intermediaries.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be? #askNostr

#Bitcoin 🌊

🤪 A retarded #bitcoinprice calc: Marketcaps #Gold ~$14T + #BTC ~$1.2T = $15.2T split = $7.6T (let’s be fair; half legacy gold, half digital gold) divide by 21M ➗ ≈ $360k per #Bitcoin Anything below 360K makes no sense But then again: #ITDOESNTMATTER 1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 Satoshis
