Given that Boltz is down and will probably be so for a while, has anybody ever thought about a market for swaps? Sort of like an exchange where multiple parties can make and take onchain <->offchain swap offers (I'm sure this is not a new idea) #asknostr

I guess Lewis Mumford was not a fan of cities. > This metropolitan world, then, is a world where flesh and blood is less real than paper and ink and celluloid. It is a world where the great masses of people, unable to have direct contact with more satisfying means of living, take life vicariously, as readers, spectators, passive observers: a world where people watch shadow-heroes and heroines in order to forget their own clumsiness or coldness in love, where they behold brutal men crushing out life in a strike riot, a wrestling ring or a military assault, while they lack the nerve even to resist the petty tyranny of their immediate boss: where they hysterically cheer the flag of their political state, and in their neighborhood, their trades union, their church, fail to perform the most elementary duties of citizenship. Living thus, year in and year out, at second hand, remote from the nature that is outside them and no less remote from the nature within, handicapped as lovers and as parents by the routine of the metropolis and by the constant specter of insecurity and death that hovers over its bold towers and shadowed streets - living thus the mass of inhabitants remain in a state bordering on the pathological. They become victims of phantasms, fears, obsessions, which bind them to ancestral patterns of behavior.

> Amoral means without any form of morality. This is not the same as immoral which means having bad morality. Silicon valley, a driving force in today's society, is said to be amoral and consists of two types of amoral people: on the one hand these driving to become billionaires, and two on the other hand, people who want to build cool s***. Both miss critical aspects of Integrated Humans, and are thus dangerous to society.
