These are my people:
Gimme something to hold true, gimme something to sing about
Gimme a reason to care, I'll sing along forever
Watered-down words covered in song trying to hide the truth
That life is beautiful, and life is pain give it to me straight
Touch my heart, I'll sing along forever
I'll sing along forever, I'll sing along forever
Broken Money by Lyn Alden. The kindle addition is out and we'll worth it!
"We cannot know the future. The best that we can do is analyze the present, envision what we think the future should be like, and then play our individual roles to move toward that vision. In my view, open-source decentralized money that empowers individuals, that is permissionless to use, and that allows for a more borderless flow of value, is both powerful and ethical. The concept presents an improvement to the current financial system in many ways and provides a check on excessive power, which makes it worth exploring and supporting." #fixthemoney #Brokenmoney #bitcoin
“Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years. Governments are good at cutting off the heads of centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own.”

We remember Nomads best for their rising-adult years of hell-raising and for their midlife years of hands-on, get-it-done leadership. Underprotected as children, they become overprotective parents. Their principal endowments are in the domain of liberty, survival, and honor. These are cunning, hard-to-fool realists—taciturn warriors who preferred to meet problems and adversaries one-on-one. Looking at you Generation X, you must fix this! #plebstr #genx #liberty

This is the way #Nostr

Loyalty and honor will matter more than conviction or principle ...individuals must retain agency and choice in order to stay alive.
hmmmmm
#Krishna could be a real downer:
...you humans are in no position to know the ultimate result of your actions, either for yourselves or for others.

“our virtual selves immune to your sovereignty, even as we continue to consent to your rule over our bodies. We will spread ourselves across the planet so that no one can arrest our thoughts.” Barlow
"During the Crisis era, Xers will provide the on-site tacticians and behind-the-scenes managers whose decisions will determine day-to-day outcomes. If one or more Boomers occupy the Gray Champion role, Xers won’t be in charge of the grand strategy. In that case, Xers may be the only ones capable of deflecting the more dangerous Boomer tendencies. Millennials won’t check Boomers, nor will Boomers check themselves. Only Xers will be in the position to force Boomer priest-warriors to “get real” when the sacrifice they ask for vastly outweighs the future reward. It may indeed be some middle-aged statesman, general, or presidential advisor who, acting alone, prevents some righteous old Aquarian from “loosing the fateful lightnings” (to quote again “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”) and turning the world’s lights out" The Fourth Turning Is Here.

Gen X appears to be pretty important to the future of society throughout this Fourth Turning (Crisis).
The Fourth Turning Is Here - Chapter: Gen X in Midlife - is interesting and it's all worth a read and consideration. #History #Readstr #Bookstr #GenX

United States predictions for 2040
https://www.quantumrun.com/country-predictions/united-states/2040
70 percent of Americans will now live in 15 states as more and more people leave rural communities/states and concentrate/move into major population centers. This also means that the minority who remain in rural America will gain disproportionate voting powers since they retain the ability to vote in 70 senators. Likelihood: 80%
