The Screwtape Letters is the most thought provoking book I've read in ages. Taking the form of letters from a senior demon (Screwtape) to an apprentice demon (Wormwood), the book makes you realise the constant competition between good and evil at play in your own mind. In this passage Screwtape explains that the demons have convinced their human subjects that there is no difference between owning a pair of boots (my boots) and claiming possession of a god (my God). The book is full of amazing insights like this. Highly recommended. #bookclub #reading #Screwtape

Happy Christmas everyone.

Imagine if all government spending was recorded on a public blockchain. Citizens could track exactly where their tax money goes, from large infrastructure projects to small administrative costs. This would make it incredibly difficult to divert funds or engage in fraudulent activity.

'Politics is a puppet show.' Such a great line. Heard on @Robert Breedlove's WIM podcast.

It was then that I realised that a rewilding, for me, had already begun. By seeking out the pockets of land and water that might inspire an attempt to revive the natural world, I had revived my own life. Long before my dreams of restoration had been realised, the untamed spirit I had sought to invoke had already returned..... From Feral by George Monbiot, 2012, a beautiful book. #plebchain #golf #coffee #books #gm

Hey Nostr! Just landed here—keen to explore this wild new world of decentralization. I’m into golf, Bitcoin, free speech, good coffee, and getting lost in great books. Looking forward to connecting with fellow plebs who share the vibe. #plebchain #bitcoin #reading #coffee #freespeech Cheers!
