Thought of a new business. I can be a witness. I will sit and listen while you tell me anything you want, because it is vastly important to gave another human being hear your words sometimes. Of course, I will charge for this service. I won't take notes, and I won't record you. Just you, telling just me, whatever you need or want to say. AI proof. Talking to robots will never equal this. It is a human need, to communicate with other humans. To be witnessed by others.

Testing new Graphene Px10p.

And just like that, I prepare to encounter Florida Man is his native habitat!

Flying to Florida for a day (for work). On a stupid 737-900. Hope I don't die.

Today's hot takes: Zapping is mainly 2 things - a circle jerk among popular npubs, and sat capture by these same accounts. This probably describes the wider V4V movement.

How would everything change if #telepathy was as common as eyesight? And might predictive #AI get so close to telepathy that the same changes happen, even without telepathy actually emerging as part of the human sensory array?

I just don't know how serious Trump is about annexing Canada. Part of me says "that will never happen", and the other part of me thinks there is someone out there saying "hold my beer!" For all I know, it has already been decided. These kind of things tend to be figured out well before the common man is apprised of the outcome. And why not take on Mexico as well? Keep going, maybe take a rest in Panama. Would be interesting to see the entire north american continent operate under a single government. Would fix some border issues, maybe. Could it be necessary to suffer the coalescence under a larger state to allow it to fully fail so we can become post-statist? I'm not really an anarchist. But I'm not really a statist either. At times I could see myself as libertarian, but there are flaws there too that can't be avoided. I think I may be a tribalist, but the tribe is itself hard to define, and to operate properly, must be kept small. Democracy isn't optimal, by any means. I'm starting to go down some darker paths with the issues of overpopulation, if we need some kind of cull, etc. Just the meanderings of a curious mind.

Every recent scheme I have seen for #bitcoin inheritance planning seems to rely on a third party holding a key to a known bitcoin wallet. Depending on the details, this means that a third party would at least know that I had bitcoin, and at worst be able to determine (or actually know) how much bitcoin is to be inerited (theoretically, how much bitcoin I have.) I want none of that. My kids (and most of my family and friends) know that I have some bitcoin. That is already too many people. Companies don't need to know, govts don't need to know (same thing), and the less people that know, the better. Nobody except for me should ever know how much (or little) I have. No one. So long as I live. The only ones that need to know how much there is after I die are those who should receive it - my kids. I don't want this in a will, to be brought up in probate court, etc. None of my other family or friends need to know, and nobody (or company or govt) that knows my kids should know. I think what I need is some relationship with a company that will contact my kids (and only my kids) in the event of my death, and give them a message. (In which would be instructions for them to follow). I should be able to modify that message at any time, in a secure way. The death should not be confirmed until I have failed to respond to multiple queries, over multiple forms of communication. They won't need these instructions until months after I am dead, possibly years. But again, I should be able to customize or change this protocol. I've heard of such services being offered, but not recently or reliably. Any ideas? #asknostr
