At what point does morality actually matter? Moral arguments supersede consequences. That is the power of morality. “If we end slavery then who will pick the cotton!?” Answer: no clue. Doesn’t matter. Slavery is immoral. Reality: we’ll develop metal monsters that burn ancient crushed tree juice to automate away the manual labour. The moral argument is our compass to use because the future is unpredictable. If the moral argument is correct, like a perfectly tuned compass, you will find yourself navigating to the future with the optimal circumstances. #morality #philosophy

I have terrible internet right now, 3G. Trying to use Substack is impossible. Nothing loads. I guess nothing is actually cached client side? Primal, on the other hand, works fantastic. I can see all the notes that my device has already downloaded and it gracefully connects when it can. Substack (and many other centralised apps) are clearly designed assuming strong internet. #nostr #primal

People that run knots have plausible deniability: despite what actually gets into the block chain they played no part in relaying it. They took an active stance against it. They can then point at those who want more and cheaper arbitrary data and judge them accordingly. Keep your conscience clean, run knots. #bitcoin #knots #core

Censorship is a top-down phenomenon, where information is suppressed by power. Individuals performing ostracism is _not_ censorship. Not wanting to listen to someone is _not_ censorship. Likewise, not wanting non-monetary transactions in my mempool is _not_ censorship. It's not virtuous to be pro-spam, and you're certainly not "anti-censorship". (To be pedantic, you could actually use spam as a _form of censorship_ by crowding out good information!) #bitcoin #spam #filter #knots #core

Life is good.

Do not be an obligate producer. Working a job to get by. Find out what you deeply care about, and execute on it.

People are emotional first and analytical second, if at all.

#milkchain instead of #coffeechain today. Very gratifying to get milk from local organic farmers. The cows are happy and healthy, free to roam and free from industrial chemicals. Real people are adding value to each other, not some ultra massive corporate entity. #agorism #milk #grownostr #nostr

Getting lost in conversation with my wife over a pot of freshly brewed coffee is the best kind of day.

Scarcity is the important property. The number is arbitrary, so long as it doesn’t change. #bitcoin

Here's a quick tutorial on how to self-host a nip-05 username with Hugo (static site generator). https://jackmordaunt.com/posts/hugo-nip-05 #nostr #grownostr #hugo #SovEng #dev #coding

I ran into troubles using svg icons with my static site. I wrote a small piece about it so that someone else may avoid my suffering. https://jackmordaunt.com/posts/hugo-svg-tricks
