and why do you always look at the shitcoin value of the machine coin? one material valuation is converted into another. the shitcoin seems to be important, otherwise you wouldn't always check. completely banal... real bitcoiners are not interested in a comparative value

A "true man" is not a model of righteousness and prudery or a paragon of virtue, but knows that transgressions of true human nature are as necessary as the salt in our food. Only with the righteous is coexistence impossible, because they have no sense of humour, do not admit true human nature and are dangerously unaware of their own shadow. Like all paragraph riders and busybodies, they want to force the world into linear rules so that they are incapable of reasonable compromise. In war they fight to the last drop of blood for unconditional surrender, and in the name of law they raze a country to the ground, although it would be far wiser to simply conquer it and exploit it in a selfish but much more harmless way. It is therefore a principle not to enforce laws that run counter to human nature and not to imprison anyone for "sins" or crimes if this does not cause violence to other people. Trusting human nature means accepting the good and bad in it, and it is difficult to trust people who cannot own up to their weaknesses.

"If people knew that nothing can happen unless the whole universe makes it happen, they would achieve much more with less energy."
~ Sri Nisargadatta ~
So the general rule is not to want to exert any influence, but only to do what is unavoidable at the moment. The greatest changes actually happen precisely when the compulsion to want to control everything is dropped. What sounds so simple is surprisingly difficult for many people to grasp: Everything that is necessary at the moment happens all by itself at any time.

Humanity's technological progress has only ever had a marginal impact on people's overall satisfaction. This is known as the Easterlin paradox: If basic needs are satisfied, additional prosperity does not lead to additional happiness. According to Schopenhauer, every feeling of happiness is based on a previous lack or suffering and the fulfilment of the resulting needs. This is quickly followed by the next lack and thus renewed dissatisfaction. Ultimately, every need is based on thoughts such as: "I need this or that in order to be happy." However, happiness cannot be achieved purely by fulfilling needs. Fulfilled basic needs are only necessary and sufficient conditions for happiness.

According to the American philosopher Daniel Dennett, Sturgeon's Law applies: "90 per cent of everything is rubbish." No matter whether it's physics, chemistry, psychology, sociology, medicine, games, music, books or the number of employees in a company. Unfortunately, Sturgeon's law also perfectly describes the proportion of the population that is borderline stupid. Einstein also recognised this and resigned himself to the huge number of limited people. They therefore always represent the democratic majority.
