The cool part is when you're finding the truth together with others. Makes it much easier and more fun. When it's not just you - stuck between binary choices of truth and lies, black and white.

Be impeccable with your word.

Beautifully said. Thanks HODL. Reminds me of a Jordan Peterson quote too.. “If you say the truth and nothing else, you will have an immense adventure as a consequence. You will not know what is going to happen to you, but you have to let go of clinging to the outcome. You have to let go. The truth will reveal the world the way it is intended to be revealed. The consequence for you will be that you will have the adventure of your life. The other part of that ethos - which makes perfect sense to me and I cannot see how it can be any other way - is that whatever makes itself manifest as a consequence of the truth is the best possible reality that could be manifest, even if you cannot see it.”

Are you still a racist?

A bit ironic when lying to others morphs into lying to yourself. It'll be easier for others to spot the lies and get through them than for the one who distorted the truth.

Also, God commands us not to lie.

You can’t come back if you’ve never left. 💪🤝

Hahahaha

Water is wet.

We live in an empire of lies, trillions have been spent propagandizing us. Truth matters.

God lied to Adam and Eve in Genesis. You think you're better than God? Have you been reading Sam Harris? Radical sincerity is what people with "fuck you" money do when they feel like they can be their true selves which invariably turns out to be a HORSE'S ASS.

You're a racist dude. I know you...

Sometimes the truth hurts. And it's supposed to.

From my personal experience, lying can also literally distort your body posture. You can make yourself “bent out of shape”, or “bend over backwards”, or “crooked” in attempts to please others with your lies. To face and confront the truth of reality allows one’s posture to be unconfined and free. The facia is the decentralized network of the body.

I was once "accused" of being "too honest", never took it as an insult, after all I never ment to be deceiving in the first place....

As they say, virtue is its own reward nostr:nevent1qqsft8jmz4y8ftyj4rxkvzvcktak4w6w7s2zra7y0pgtur5xuc6uagspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgq3qrtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudksxpqqqqqqzn479kd

Wise words sir 🫡

I'm dogmatically truthful in my private life, but how do would you handle being a freelancer in web dev? Is very overrun and it seems everyone is bullshitting to get jobs. I struggle with that shit 🙈

What you say matters. Every word said is like a spell and the first one to be under it's effect is you. Never lie.

Thanks for this text! Truth is just #Bitcoin, and nothing else.

Give me truth or nothing! My father would tell me that I should keep telling the truth but that I didn’t have to beat people over the head with it. 😆 nostr:nevent1qqsft8jmz4y8ftyj4rxkvzvcktak4w6w7s2zra7y0pgtur5xuc6uagspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgafcvqt

Ultra hard mode is when you didn’t lie to yourself but others raised you within a web of lies. A friend of mine grew up with her struggling mum becoming part in Jehova witness. All siblings are fucked to some degree. Your metaphor of the compass sparks an image in my head of them being stranded on ground with magnetic anomalies beneath them. Every move they make betraying them somehow. What do you do? Stand still? Wait for help? Just run in each direction far enough? So grateful for my upbringing

Great essay, and I don't really disagree, but some examples or anecdotes might be helpful. What kind of lies are we talking about? Telling a 200 pound women that she's beautiful? Misrepresentations on a resume? Not providing full transparency to government agencies? Claiming you read the terms and conditions? Different lies have different impacts.

Man do I like the profound Hodl! Wise words out there But is it just me or I also see in you two personas? The profound, wise father and the somewhat crazy and explosive you’re not stacking hard enough?

Cheat code: conduct yourself such that you’re not tempted to lie in the first place.

This ….. is a post about Santa Claus. nostr:nevent1qqsft8jmz4y8ftyj4rxkvzvcktak4w6w7s2zra7y0pgtur5xuc6uagspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgafcvqt

Cool. Remember that time I told you to suggest your "billionaire friend" try a conversation with real words and you gaslit me and muted me?

This is one of my core truths that I try to hold myself to. In my business, I tell everyone I hire that my two expectations are: don’t lie and do the right thing, especially when it’s hard to do.

Radical honesty is the final frontier of sovereignty.

Agrewd It depends on the context but generally lying is damaging to yourself mainly

Ah that one’s easy. My father was an erudite first amendment attorney and my mother was a schizophrenic. So both archetypes live inside me. lol true story.

And then you start to hear the whispers of the divine.

I would say the big one is presenting a false version of yourself to friends and family. Lying about a covid vaccine in order to not put poison in your body doesn’t fall under my definition of self destructive. Though if you’re in a position where you have to lie about it in order to survive maybe it’s better to tell the truth about not taking it and let tha truth reshape your world.

Personally, I think you pick a direction and run straight. Like when you get lost in the woods.

I’m not sure what you mean here

Because of my redacted medical condition, I've had to live a life of truth for the last ten years. It's very freeing. You also learn your words carry more weight because people know you believe what you say.

To be honest with you Id never heard of her until just now. If this post resembles her work it’s completely accidental. These are just my own perceptions based on experience.

Agreed, lying is corrosive, and when the bill arrives, which it eventually will, it can be much more than expected. Like Anon, I do wonder about the exceptions. Vaccine status is one, another would be using a fake name at bitcoin events (assuming you're a Nostr nym), it might buy you safety, but may also impact your ability to connect.

Yeah. Everyone’s compass is uniquely broken , therefore I gave up on giving people directions. Your messages act more like a beacon signal which allow for everyone walking a unique path. I like that a lot.

When you start telling following TRUTHS, don’t expect applause. Expect resistance. Expect disappointment. Expect people to prefer the mask you wore over the face you’re finally revealing. - Shitcoin core devs are either compromised/incompetent - Shitcoin core FORCED op_return change on plebs since there wasn't major support for this change. - BIP444 is the only viable solution at the moment which can get us out of shitcoin core tyranny and by not supporting it, things could get more worse in the future by upgrades like Cluster (fuck) mempool and Ghey Script Restoration. -Majority of simpfluencers consider spam debate a DrAmA because some of them might have either some monetary incentive to not talk about it or they are friends with some spammers/spam apologists/shitcoin core devs. SUPPORT BIP444...!!! RUG THE SPAMMERS...!!! END THE SHITCOIN CORE...!!! Don't fear these simpfluencers because if we let them do what they are doing, bitcoin would likely become more permissionless (inefficient) data storage than permissionless money. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqxh7p36w84mcf6af8f0rlf255mhtqxfg6ynnnt5t5jpj0p5q3cmdqqsft8jmz4y8ftyj4rxkvzvcktak4w6w7s2zra7y0pgtur5xuc6uags06tfs7

To the degree that you are honest with yourself, is the degree to which you can be honest with others. To the degree that you are honest with yourself and others, is the degree to which you can live in alignment with the universe and, more broadly, God.

Ha, even your post is dishonest.

When my son was four, I told him "every time you lie, you confuse yourself a little bit". He has never forgotten.

Meta comment: when is a post supposed to be long form? Seems like anything that doesn't fit on a single phone screen without scrolling is best on that kind with a repost on kind 1.

The resistance part from the world sounds a bit like the bitcoiners journey

Pure poetry. Nice piece Hodl.

Our words are far more powerful than people realise. Words expressed are also more powerful than those that are held in your mind & thoughts. To hold a belief & express something in contrast with that belief causes an rift within you, a seperation. To be free is to be integrated & aligned as a sovereign being. You cannot be free while you are lying or wearing the heavy mask of social conformity. From birth we are convinced than we are less than perfect. That we have sinned & need to redeem ourselves in the eyes of others. We try to convince ourselves & others that we are not selfish. That we put others needs above our own. This lie was hidden amongst all the other bullshit I thought was important to hide from people. The world is a mirror that reflects the projections that you place on it. It doesn't argue with you, it simply complies with evidence to support your beliefs. One must be very careful in making agreements about the nature of things because they have a very real impact on your experience. The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. 💚🫂

Where people most often get stuck with teaming up - you gotta understand when if the time to move on. Finding truths changes people and team dynamics. So you gotta accept that, if you'll surf towards truth faster, with others. There is already a cost to a benefit.

It imposes the question what is truth?

Living in a way that is not congruent with your values

The truth will set you free nostr:nevent1qqsft8jmz4y8ftyj4rxkvzvcktak4w6w7s2zra7y0pgtur5xuc6uagspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgafcvqt

Awwww thanks Sil 💚🫂

You and Mudge are my two must see bitcoiners! You and I have spoken to each other through a screen … then we both stepped back knowing the shill was not worth the sell. Yet … a movement emerged. The beef initiative sparked entrepreneurial projects here in Oz - enter the great Jacob Wolki - from Wolki Farm! You and I continue to learn. To teach our children. That is my greatest goal, yours too I bet. And to truly work hard at building a grass roots movement. Keep in trucking in Brisket Snow! There is a phone call you and I once had where you told me to go for it - if I felt it was right. That has become my war cry. Love you brother 🧡💜🫂

I've worked in tech start-ups most of my career, and this is a rarely talked about conditions that I have seen emerge in non-technical founders. It starts with "fake it till you make it" which is somewhat necessary for your CEO to do in the early days. Then they start believing their own jazz hands are magical. And before you know it, their grip on reality starts slipping. You notice them lying when it isn't necessary or even advantageous to do so. And as trust evaporates, they become paranoid, controlling, and their decisions become increasingly irrational. Founder's syndrome. It's real, and it all starts with lies.

I’ve seen this

The biggest lesson I took from that was that your heart always knows what's best for you. Ignore its protests & prods at your own peril. I've always relied on my mind to find a path forward but I'm realising that my greatest power has always come from my heart. That's the lesson I want to pass on to my kids. I find it pretty ironic that we gain wisdom once we've lost most of our influence on our children. We'll meet F2F one day.
