I like how it's just the default for Muslims on Nostr to get on graphene. Just part of the culture here I guess. Let's keep it up! View quoted note →

I'm making everyone listen to this @Guy Swann podcast:

"We are trying to make it possible for people to use computers as simple of a statement as this: use computers, without intermediaries and custodia...

It's all over the place but it's so good

This is my default accent IRL. I have to actively not sound like this when I speak in public.

Noticing more and more Muslims reading the Impossible State. It's a great book and I quote from it in Anti-Riba Money But I caution any Muslim reading this book that they not get one-shotted by it and get paralyzed. The point is not to read Hallaq and then resign yourself to endless lament over the loss of some pristine pre nationstate order that cannot simply be copy pasted back into existence. You have to move beyond that. You have to start thinking seriously about what forms of life, coordination, technics, myth, elite formation, digital infrastructure, and parallel institutions could actually outgrow the state rather than merely critique it. Need to figure out how Islamicate civilization might re emerge under entirely different future conditions without unconsciously reproducing the very modern logic we are trying to oppose.

It's stuff like this that makes me really appreciate Nostr more. This one zionist goon (or his team at X headquarters more specifically) can just arbitrarily decide which posts gets boosted or deboosted and everyone on the platform has to change their behavior and habits to cater to his decision. LSM just needs to die already.

Another day, another fatwa calling Bitcoin haram I'll be honest, I've mostly stopped caring what the scholars say on Bitcoin. I mean even if this Mufti were to declare Bitcoin halal, it wouldn't do much to help with getting off of Riba money. It would only embolden the biomass to degenerately gamble it for fiat gains.

So umm Pakistan is mediating the ceasefire?? Sure. Whatever. I'll take it.

Looks great! Will give this a try on my umbrel

Great list. The main thing I'd add that a lot of bitcoiners tend to miss, especially for those of us in the west with a more individualist spirit, is to build your tribe! Locally, regionally, and globally. Your trusted friends, and more specifically the ones that you would call your brothers, will be your most effective armor against the event. View quoted note →

Is it just me or does Kasurian Magazine just publish the same article over and over again? Like it's always about the same subject with the same conclusion but said in a slightly different way.

Ibn Khaldun in the 21st Century

On the political economy of knowledge, institutions, and civilisational power.

Another day, another Sami Hamdi video telling Muslims to write to their representatives. "The power of agency!!!!!"

This is a good example of the kind of Sufi romanticism that does not belong in Digital Hijra.

The Sufi Case for Environmentalism

What does Islamic philosophy have to say about the natural world?

If the critique of modernity boils down to plastics being too far removed from the natural world, then it stands to reason that the critique itself collapses the moment it touches the modern conditions (computer, phones, laptops, servers, petrochemical infrastructure, etc) under which it is being made. I invite the author and other Muslims of Sufi orientation to read our essay about Digital Hijra: View article → The problem with modern technology is not that it is synthetic or far removed from raw materials, it's that it is usually built inside systems of riba, surveillance, dependency, and enclosure. Digital Hijra is a call to rebuild technological life in a vicegerent way, on sovereignty, ownership, moral discipline, and accountable infrastructure. This is where Wahdat al-Wujud should lead us to as we navigate hypermodernity.

I can't contain my excitement for this. When I went to the first summit, I honestly had no idea what to expect, maybe there weren't going to be a lot of folks, maybe I'd get the feeling this was all stupid and we shouldn't even be going this far. But the summit blew me away. It was overwhelming and electric meeting so many based Muslims all at once, and it made me feel like I was part of something a lot more grand than I initially realized. Since the summit, I really haven't been the same. It lit a fire under my ass to finally get that damn book out. I still keep in contact with almost all of the folks I met, they're life long friends now. And I've been a lot more detached at my fiat job, and I've let go a lot of IRL stuff that was weighing me down. I've been reading a lot more books that aren't related to Bitcoin, weirdly enough. Even my prayers and duas have been a lot more intentional and intense since then... The summit genuinely reshaped my outlook. I can’t shake the feeling that what’s happening here is genuinely big, something historically, civilizationally, spiritually significant that could change the course and trajectory of the Muslim world. You really have to be here to understand it. I look forward to meeting all of you in a few weeks. View quoted note →
