Daily Trivium: The Sophists vs The Stoics The Sophists were known for their skepticism and relativism, believing that truth and morality were subjective. They emphasized rhetoric and the art of argumentation, often appealing to emotions to win debates, which led some to view them as morally dubious for prioritizing effective persuasion over objective truth. In contrast, the Stoics believed in an objective moral order governed by reason and nature, advocating for virtue, self-control, and living in accordance with this universal law. They viewed emotions as irrational forces that could cloud judgment and advocated for emotional detachment and inner peace, aiming for a state of tranquility (apatheia) through rational thought. Stoicism taught that the wise person experiences rational emotions (eupatheia) such as joy, wish, and caution, which are clear-headed and appropriate to the situation.

Daily #trivium Bitcoin Twitter is an echo chamber NOSTR is a Bitcoin anechoic chamber

The definition of a word can have an enlightening affect.

ATTENTION NOSTR! Apparently a Node Package Manager hack has been discovered that can swap you destination address with a similar looking one. Sparrow wallet and cold cards are unaffected. Check your entire address is sending BTC onchain.

They want more control and they will use your emotional/cognitive biases to get it. MOST PEOPLE WILL BEG FOR TYRANNY 1. They use a situations to cause a problem, (defund the police, catch and release, open boarders). 2. The problem is manifested. Interm solutions are not enough (closed boarders, deportations, national guard, etc). 3. People will demand MOAR. Please understand we are playing this game against the most sophisticated apparatus for human control that has ever existed. Memes will never be enough. Bitcoin is not enough. NOSTR is not enough. Its time to grow. #Trivium
