"Discipline is like the interest on a 30-year mortgage. Initially it’s most of the payment, but over time it cedes weight to understanding which is like the principal. Discipline without understanding is like an interest-only mortgage. You pay it every month and get nowhere." - @Chris Liss As a new parent I feel the raw effects of this like never before.

Great piece. It is a little strange how the zeitgeist has lifted and altered over the last 20 years. I too know the cathartic feeling of sitting down and writing only for the writing to be unseen or untouched by others. Its sometimes even harder when even in a protocol like nostr, where everyone espoused v4v, you put forth so much effort yet no value finds it's way to you. I blame it on the nascency. Most people don't yet know what they might enjoy. Until then, "we got our own problems to deal with"

I was educated in the USA, I wonder what of the history books is true and what is made up. Is there a way to confirm it for yourself? I figured I'd start at the beginning, teach myself with whatever untainted sources I can find. Whats the oldest civilization you know to exist?

Economic inequality has reached levels unseen in nearly a century, and while many point fingers at politicians, party policies, or the so-called greed of the 1% hoarding all the wealth, the true culprit may be much closer than most realize. At a time when legal structures worldwide strongly protect ownership and economic mobility, it is individuals themselves who are willingly surrendering their financial power to the very elites they criticize.

I know what It's like to be physically willing and able and even ambitious enough to work, but its not enough. Powerlessness is seeking to grow financially and spiritually but no matter how well you do in your local economy it's never enough to save. Even if you could save, the banks are corrupt and offer no interest in your deposits and there is not much that you can lucratively invest in. Thats how it is for many places in the global South, thats how it is for many places closer to home... View article →

Should bitcoin standard become the way of the global economy, it will be crazy to finally witness a society where no expects a bail out or savior. Nice post

The world has never been more connected—yet, it’s never been quieter. Small talk is fading. Conversations are shrinking into social media posts. Airports, waiting rooms, and cafés once filled with chatter now resemble libraries. True connection goes beyond the digital—it’s built in everyday moments, through casual conversations that spark real relationships. I’ve seen what happens when distractions disappear. During Army Reserve training, without internet, small talk thrives, and real bonds form. Maybe it’s time we reclaim that. Put down the phone. Look up. Say something. What do you think? Have we lost the art of conversation? View article →

This era of high technology has done plenty of good for society but it has also detethered humans from nature. What a great reminder to reconnect and reflect on the season and the retrospection that this season naturally inspires. View article →

Take a closer look at the way people spend, borrow, and consume, and it becomes painfully clear: most people are actively forfeiting their ability to build and own wealth.

The Last Era of the Present As we merge with AI and replicate our identities across the digital landscape, the concept of the present dissolves. No longer bound by linear time, our existence will span past, present, and future simultaneously. Our digital selves will persist indefinitely, continuously engaging with the identities of others, creating an eternal, interconnected consciousness beyond the constraints of human experience. This is our future. How near....it may be closer than we think.

Anyone on Nostr knows this is a different kind of social media. Now that we have something to hold traditional social media up against its crazy to see how Twitter and Facebook may have been used as tools to topple regimes around the world. Check out this article for an Interesting take on social media as a regime toppling tool. View article →

I'd love to read more about this. Do you have any source documents or reference articles? This is a cool "lifting of the veil" piece.

Life might very be God's attempt to better understand itself. Why then, is our chief obstacle in life always ourselves. View article →
