Khilafah as an Ontologico-Existential Function of Humanity.

al-Raghib al-Isfahani's theory of human vicegerency.

Another awkward blog post from this brother, talking about al-Isfahani's theory of human vicegerency. I get that the conclusion "to be human is to be kind" is indispensable but, besides it being an obvious claim, kindness severed from the conditions that sustain it risks dissolving into private sentiment without becoming socially or civilizationally meaningful. I would think that vicegerency would need something more than just being kind. View quoted note →

Lol 😂 so many bot responses in the comments: "BCH go.go.go" "Bch is going to the top 😁" "Yes sir your big man" "Because BCH is more than a Love." This is so funny man. They're not even good bots. Such low effort. But I guess that's to be expected from btrashers. View quoted note →

The Question of Muslim Sovereignty Beyond the Nation-State.

Imagine new horizons of muslim socio-political sovereignties.

"The problem as identified by Heidegger with modern technology is its complexity and invisibility in regards to its operations, becoming especially magically hegemonic within the nation-state functions of surveillance – which the masses cannot even comprehend let alone be able to plan a revolt against. Therefore, to construct a sovereign socio-politically effective body, throughout the muslim world, against the flow of nationstate’s insecure quasi-omniscient grip over identity control might require something way radically new if not the transnational ideological sovereign techno-economic institutionalism." 😏

I will admit that when I first got on Nostr, it was difficult for me to grasp what it was really about, But eventually I had to step back and ask myself whether recruiting people into @BitcoinMajlis through a telegram chat was actually sufficient for what we're trying to accomplish. It became obvious that something bigger was needed if we're serious about fulfilling our mission. Need to think beyond just building another online community or movement, more than just a subreddit. The scope has to be civilizational. It has to involve creating new ways of coordinating and relating to one another outside the constraints of fiat political + cultural frameworks. I'm afraid that if we continue building on centralized platforms, we're ultimately trapped inside the same cycle that produced the current condition in the first place (deterritorialization + reterritorialization, or endless disruption followed by being absorbed back into dominant system). I don't want all of this work we're doing to ultimately amount to building a fancier cage. We gotta get off telegram, like very soon. I am telling you that we have to take nostr as seriously as Bitcoin. This should give us the possibility of building parallel social+economic+cultural infrastructure that isn't owned by fiat people. I don't see any other tool that can help us meaningfully break out of that cycle. Need to actually use it and build on it and treat it as more than just another place to post.

"there are now over 240 Nostr clients and over 500 Nostr apps running in more than 40 countries around the globe" Wow, there really are more nostr apps than nostr users 😂 (excluding bots of course) View article →

Really great book "Earlier cypherpunks had vision without infrastructure; earlier Austrians had theory without implementation. The present moment offers both at once." View article →

I set up Immich on my home server and got wife set up to upload family images and videos since she needed more space on her phone and she was just blown away by it. She didn't need to login to Google or Amazon or anything. So cute to watch. "every family should have this in their home!"

Reimagining Citizenship Beyond the Nation-State

On transcending an old system while maintaining an Islamic framework

Good short essay, but how does this brother do it??? He consistently writes about modernity and associated civilizational concepts that are related to politics/economics/environmentalism etc and he gets so close to finding an actual answer but just stops short of discovering bitcoin or nostr or FOSS. So many of his essays are like this. It's such a tease and it drives me crazy!

Always great to hear @Bitcoin Mechanic 's perspective. Good listen. https://fountain.fm/episode/Zkz8oD0hAeFM6r5VeZJr View quoted note →
