Follower of Christ. Defender of liberty. Aspiring cypherpunk. Atypical homesteader. Nostr only, mostly because I had already dropped everything else as a toxic mess. You can send me a private DM via SimpleX: https://simplex.chat/contact#/?v=1-2&smp=smp%3A%2F%2FUkMFNAXLXeAAe0beCa4w6X_zp18PwxSaSjY17BKUGXQ%3D%40smp12.simplex.im%2F7_b1iX90gPiMa7K8NEUNNc8d2hLoy78K%23%2F%3Fv%3D1-2%26dh%3DMCowBQYDK2VuAyEAITsikJr0WDbvgphFlM90xs3QAIZiVKYf35cIqy3PZhk%253D%26srv%3Die42b5weq7zdkghocs3mgxdjeuycheeqqmksntj57rmejagmg4eor5yd.onion
An easy but great gift you can offer the world is the courage to say something benign like: “I’m not sure I agree with that.” “What does that actually mean?” “Let’s look deeper into the assumptions of the argument” Humans are hardwired to fit in. Far too often we go along with others faulty logic, partial truths, or outright lies because we don’t want to speak up for fear of seeming dumb or not being part of the “in group”
I am considering writing a scholarly paper on subversive memes and am in the long research and data collection phase. … just saying so that it’s on the record in case they still have trial of ones peers when AI covertly scans my private effects and selects me for gulag
I keep zapping and the sats number goes down as expected but the remaining fiat value somehow nevertheless keeps going up over time. Is this normal? Is there a Nostr customer service number I can call to ask about this? (/s)
Nostr is still far from ‘mainstream’ but there are surely at least a handful of npubs being run by state-backed influence operations 👀
Staying humble involves the consideration that I might be wrong. Absolutely good for you if you evaluated differently and came out ahead.
I’m trying to get through a movie that a friend recommended. The premise is right up my alley, but I basically can’t watch any mainstream TV shows or movies anymore. I just can’t overlook all the ways the program is designed to, well, program the viewer. image
I get all sorts of text messages that I presume are the attempt to start some kind of scam sequence, most innocuously worded but others pretty weird cold openers. I got one from an unknown number that just said “Are you here yet?” I was so tempted to reply with something like “Yes, and I have the briefcase of cash as instructed. What do I do now?” image
