#God, grant me the #serenity, to accept the things I cannot change, the #courage to change the things I can, and the #wisdom to know the difference. 🙏🏻

This is the first year in my living memory where there are no blackbirds in the garden 😥 and the increasing number and sound of the crows feels eerie and somewhat ominous.

It is currently unclear to me as to whether #peace, #love and #acceptance is an appropriate response to an imminent threat to my #life, to my way of life, and/or to those to whom I hold dear and who share my way of life... ...and to clarify what I mean by "my way of life", I mean those like me who cherish and hold dear the #values, #morals and #ethics of peace, love and acceptance... #Tolerance is an admirable virtue, until a point is reached where ones #sovereignty and #autonomy are brought into question. Then, I believe natural law takes precedence, as the right to self defence becomes a necessity.

"Professing themselves to be #wise, they became #fools." - Romans 1:22

"Pride leads to disgrace, but with #humility comes #wisdom." - Proverbs 11:2

It feels like we're transitioning from the "gradually" phase, to the "then suddenly" phase...

"What if this is a dream?" - Doug Quaid ...open your mind... ...OPEN YOUR MIND...

I think i get it... ...it's all an internal metaphor, so even this is somewhat pointless... I am ultimately just taking to myself. ...as above, so below, as within, so without...

...proof only works in the negative... ...disproving is what makes a scientific fact... ...nothing is the ultimate reality, everything else is either a mental construct or a mental concept...

This is a tough one... Techno-Feudalism vs The Stone Age 🤔

Something just clicked... I'm not here to save this world. I am here to build the new one.

I'm starting an experiment because I'm curious to see where the best place to cultivate ideas is. On the legacy world platforms that have a major design flaw in them... they're centralised and therefore subject to #censorship), or on the new world decentralised systems like #nostr and #keet? I think I know the answer, but why not join me on the journey and we'll find out together 😊 I'm going to be publishing my work in several different locations (#Substack, #Highlighter, #WordPress, #Medium, #LinkedIn, and any others that come to my attention), to see which platforms gains the most traction. This creates a lot of additional work for me, but I believe the results will be worth it. My first article entitled: "I know nothing." can be found at the following locations. Which platform would you choose to read it on, and which social media platform(s) would you choose to share it on? Let me know in the comments section 🙏 https://danielewen.substack.com/p/i-know-nothing (Substack) https://highlighter.com/npub15z0mnjepscd9hk3ywkcvuupap7tt0qle64f0uvvygpl3mqerz4tq4dl33y/I-know-nothing-j39xkc (Highlighter | nostr)

I’ve just published my first Highlighter here on nostr and I’d love for you to join me. There is so much that I wish to discuss here, about the essence of the #self, the nature of #reality, the #meaning of #existence, #consciousness, #choice, #consequence, #awareness, #intention, #sovereignty, #autonomy, #emotion, #liberty, #ethics, #morality, #wellness, #society, #money, #law, #power, #religion, and #technology to name just a few… My first post is simply titled... I know nothing. ...as I have no real idea #What I'm doing, just #Why I'm doing it. I'm curious to see #Where is the best place to cultivate ideas. On the old world platforms where the sleeping majority lie, or here in the new world? I think I know the answer, but why not join me on the journey and we'll find out together 😊 Link to article on Highlighter: https://highlighter.com/npub15z0mnjepscd9hk3ywkcvuupap7tt0qle64f0uvvygpl3mqerz4tq4dl33y/I-know-nothing-j39xkc

What an absolutely brilliant idea, made manifest by @Oscar Merry ! https://fountain.fm/episode/A99epUbBInazY2pK2Tss I started listening to this episode of the #WBD #WhatBitcoinDid podcast on Spotify, then halfway through I downloaded the Fountain app, switched to that, and uninstalled Spotify. “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates (Dan Millman: Way of the Peaceful Warrior) #bitcoin | #energy #freedom #commerce

Happy bitcoin halving 2024. The dawn of the 5th epoch begins as we head ever closer to #hyperbitcoinization and a world empowered by the bitcoin standard. “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates (Dan Millman: Way of the Peaceful Warrior) #bitcoin | #energy #freedom #commerce
