Voting AT ALL is a detrimental process of giving your power away. At best you may be afforded some small local changes, in exchange for compliance towards the global war machine and obed This behavior seeks permission from structures of abuse and exploitation to ask for the possibility of the political—which will never be given. This is why we’ve never seen a plebiscite to end unconstitutional wars

When you meet a smooth-talking scorpion that absolutely convinces you that giving them a ride across the river could never end in tragedy because that doesn’t make any sense, remember that they are A FUCKING SCORPION!!! It’s not about what they say, or even what they believe because they really don’t think they’ll sting you and kill you both, because that DOESN’T make sense. But that’s the whole thing, right? They are a scorpion. It is their very nature to sting in times of panic. Don’t trust scorpions, even when they paint a rosy picture that doesn’t involve you drowning in the middle of the river. Because that will happen, and it’s because you trusted a scorpion.

I’m reading Heidegger’s Being and Time right now, and it’s kinda fucking with me. For some background, I’ve read a lot of his other works (including The Event, which is the Time part of ‘Being and Time’) and I honest to God think that Bitcoin is The Event that Heidegger is speaking of. It’s going to be a very, very long concourse to unpack it, but it seems that Bitcoin is authentic Dasein as a reflection on Being in our world and what the implications of understanding Bitcoin means to any person both today, and into the foreseeable future.

I did! I wired up this goddamn house fan after fucking with the wiring for 3 days.

Holy shit, I’m 3 days into this electrical project that should only take an hour, but each step recurves into like 20 side quest. JFC fuck the guy that did this wiring.

I live 50 miles from any stop lights. I have a deep hatred and enmity for stoplights. The Pavlovian training to instill obedience to a light through the creation of the risk of death, verse a roundabout, and the selective and thoughtful placement of both, is the urban architectural project that is secretly a eugenics project.

I should I just send it on more of my detached philosophical ramblings? This is a rhetorical question.

The real interest rate is the rate of interest in Bitcoin. Few.

There is no Truth that can be given, as truth is a process of unveiling what was already there. The only thing that can be done is creating the space—the global public square—where such Truth can be mulled over, compared, explored, and debated so one may use their own volition to unveil The Truth.

Bitcoiners should stop simping to any political banner or system and realize that they are a new kind of power unto themselves. It will only be with the full realization of this that peoples will start to organize the new political dynasty and possibilities for a future freed from the lies and corruption of a monetary system that is tied to the current system of party politics.

How much do you think you really self-censor before you post something? I often will write out something, and then edit it a few times and ultimately delete it, for no real particular reason. Perhaps it’s from a deeper subconscious fear of being cancelled or having your account destroyed by whatever fiat service you are posting from. That is now something that cannot happen here.

I sometimes think about the totality of how many people throughout human history have gotten totally fucked by their governments and had to flee their homes and communities with nothing more than what they had on them. What has been the economic cost of this, what is the cost of always living in a state of fear that it will happen again? While it can happen, at least with bitcoin you can keep some of your property beyond the violent expropriations of any government. The value of such a thing cannot be understood by dollars or purchasing power, but only through the cost of life and what real economy security means to someone who has seen just the smallest amount of the horrors of the genocides of the 20th century.

I have a real love-hate relationship with owning an older home. There are constant projects and repairs to be done, which are not only costly but a real time sink. On the other hand, I really enjoy feeling capable and learning from each project and acquiring new knowledge. It’s just a real bitch in between the start and finish of the project where I don’t know what I’m doing and I can lose motivation because I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing and can’t do it. It’s a good metaphor for most things in life. Going through the chasm to completion is almost always the hardest part.
