“There’s a lot of stuff we don’t know and we pretend to know.”

The people who run countries believe in the supernatural. It’s the main thing they believe in. Why do they try so hard to convince the rest of us...

"The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it." There's a certain frustration that accompanies hodling Bitcoin. You know you have something good and you want for others to experience that good for themselves. It's about a thousand times worse when the good you wish to share is spiritual truth. Comfortable ignorance is unfortunately preferable to learning and growth, even for many Bitcoiners. View quoted note →

That’s exactly what I am doing. I’m aiming at the noble goal of ending religiously motivated violence. I am regarded by skeptics as arrogant, not ambitious, and insane, not intelligent. View quoted note →

Many Bitcoiners realize that Bitcoin will help end war by realigning incentives. This will, in turn, affect the economic calculus of capital allocation. Rather than building drones and bombs, more would-be warring factions will realize the economic folly of that choice and, instead, build power plants that were previously cost-prohibitive, ASICs, and facilities to house and operate them. This will reduce the amount of war that takes place by a significant amount, but it will not end war. Here's why: There are currently bullets and bombs flying about in the name of God. Many of the most extreme religious dogmatists cannot be reasoned with. That's what makes them dogmatists. In order to relegate extreme religious dogmatism to the annals of history, the numbers of each dogmatist camp must be reduced until they are the size of the modern KKK. Nowadays, when the KKK holds a rally, they draw something pathetic like 400 people from a 10 state area. Those are paltry numbers and, as such, they are unable to fundraise to any meaningful degree to affect their hateful and bigoted agenda. If the legacy dogmatist religious camps can be rug-pulled by a scientifically based perspective that acknowledges whatever truths there are to be found within each religion and makes sense of every historical religious tradition, the agnostics, the spiritual but not religious, and the fringe members of the various religions will join together under this banner of unity and truth. As fringe members abandon the legacy dogmatist camps, the legacy dogmatist camps will shrink and have less fundraising power to be misallocated towards war. This scientifically based perspective is like Bitcoin. It is already here; it is just unevenly distributed. If you're serious about ending the era of war on Earth, it will be necessary to end the era of the Tower of Babel in which nobody speaks one another's spiritual language. Loving your neighbors includes speaking their spiritual language and that, like Bitcoin, requires proof of work. Humanity needs missionaries who are polyglots when it comes to spiritual lingo. Such people can speak to anyone from any religious tradition, demonstrate proof of work in conversation, become an ally, and then a translator who can teach people how to unite neighbor with neighbor, fulfilling the Golden Rule found in every tradition. The Golden Rule is about seeing things from the perspective of others and treating them accordingly. Every tradition has a variant of this which tells us at least two things: 1. It's important. 2. Humans suck at putting it into practice. If we were all doing a great job of this, every religious tradition wouldn't need to try to teach it to us as that would be redundant. It's not enough to fix the money if we want to end war. We have to be willing to leave the comfort of our known base camps. We have to be willing to learn the words and the ways of our neighbors. The only holy war is between love and fear. 🪶

Many of the most followed accounts on social media do nothing but shitpost, post quotes, propagate distortions, or engagement farm by knowingly pushing contentious generalizations.

Use of a mortar and pestle has proof of work baked in as it must first be “seasoned”, similar to how cast iron must be seasoned before it can be properly used. To season a mortar and pestle, first you must wash, WITHOUT SOAP, both pieces. Do this with water and a clean sponge. Next, grind white rice into rice flour using the mortar and pestle. This will remove grit and polish the porous surfaces on both pieces. Do this repeatedly until the rice flour is white, not grey. This part of the process is work intensive. Without rinsing, add some garlic cloves, coarse salt, a handful of cumin seed, and a bit of whole coriander into the mortar and grind it all into a paste. Coat the entire inner surface area of the mortar and the grinding areas of the pestle with this paste. Let this paste remain coating your mortar and pestle overnight. Bare minimum, a few hours, but half a day would be closer to ideal. Rinse the paste out USING ONLY WATER, NO SOAP. At this point your mortar and pestle are seasoned and ready for use. 🪶

Join us tomorrow, approximately 24 hours from now (12 noon US east coast time), as we continue studying "The Law of One” which is a series of 106 conversations that occurred from 1981-1984 between a physics professor & the entity known as Ra who had previously tried to spread the Law of One in ancient Egypt with mixed results. Last week, we covered: - The logical fallacy known as “Appeal to the Bandwagon", - The first half (pages 108-112) of chapter 12 from “A Channeling Handbook”, - Session 81 of the Law of One, - Personal research updates from study group members along with discussion. This week we plan to cover: - The logical fallacy known as “Ad Hominem", - The second half (pages 113-116) of chapter 12 from “A Channeling Handbook”, - Session 82 of the Law of One, - Personal research updates from study group members along with discussion.

A big problem is that text based communications lack body language and intonation. What may come off as neutral in person can be perceived as inflammatory over text. If I've learned anything from studying so many religions while seeing bullets and bombs flying in the name of God, it's that humans are not very good at interpreting text. View quoted note →
