**Just thinkin...** image **Jewish Elite Felt Threatened Then As Now. Current Behaviour Seem to Echo the Past. They Still Feel Threatened. Not by Jesus. But by Palestinians, et al. Guess i Too Would Feel Paranoid if i Was Squating Someones Land Illegally.** According to the consensus of modern historians, **Jesus of Nazareth** was executed by **crucifixion** under the authority of the Roman prefect **Pontius Pilate** around **30 CE**. Crucifixion was a Roman form of capital punishment reserved for insurrectionists and slaves, which places **ultimate legal responsibility** for Jesusโ€™s death with the **Roman state** (Tacitus, *Annals* 15.44; Josephus, *Antiquities* 18.3.3). Nevertheless, the **Gospel traditions** and critical historical analysis indicate that **certain members of the Jewish religious elite in Jerusalem**, particularly the **high priestly and Temple authorities** led by **Caiaphas**, played a decisive role in the events that led to Jesusโ€™s execution. These leaders perceived Jesus as a **religious and political threat** โ€” his teachings, actions in the Temple, and popular following risked provoking unrest during **Passover**, a period of heightened Roman surveillance (Sanders, *The Historical Figure of Jesus*, 1993, pp. 266โ€“275). Following an **interrogation before the high priest**, this faction of the **Sanhedrin** determined that Jesus was guilty of blasphemy or sedition under Jewish law and **delivered him to Pilate**, framing the case in political terms โ€” namely, that Jesus claimed to be โ€œKing of the Jewsโ€ โ€” a charge that ensured Roman intervention (Fredriksen, *Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews*, 1999, pp. 201โ€“212; Ehrman, *Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millennium*, 1999, pp. 213โ€“218). Thus, **Jesus was executed by Roman authority, but following the initiative and cooperation of a small faction within the Jewish Temple aristocracy**. The **broader Jewish population was not involved** and, in many cases, sympathized with Jesusโ€™s message. --- ### **Bibliography** * Bart D.

image Node runners are the backbone that makes Bitcoin decentralized, secure, and censorship-resistant. image Without node runners, Bitcoin would still exist, but it would stop being trustless and decentralized. Running a node is how individuals directly participate in โ€” and defend โ€” the integrity of the Bitcoin network. #bitcoinknots๐Ÿชข #bitcoin #nostr #anarchyโ’ถ #decentralisation #freedomtech #blockchain #freepalestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
image Bitcoin Core v30โ€™s OP_RETURN expansion is not just a feature update โ€” itโ€™s a redefinition of what Bitcoin is. By opening the door to massive, non-financial data, Core risks turning the network into a freewheeling data platform, letting its monetary mission fade. The personal attacks, the policy tricks, and the ideological power plays all point to a core development team that has lost its grounding. Bitcoin Knots doesnโ€™t just preserve a more disciplined path โ€” it signals a broader truth: node runners still matter. Their voices, their choices, their commitment to Bitcoinโ€™s original vision are the last firewall against mission creep. In this age of political and technical pressure, they are the defenders we need. #bitcoin #core #bitcoinknots๐Ÿชข #devs #nodes #operators #freepalestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
image In the time before Rome, when the land that would be Wales was divided by tribe and hill, the **Silures** held the south-east: from the low, wet vales of Usk and Taff up to the moor-crowned ridges of what we now call Rhondda and Rhigos. Each summer, as the valleys grew warm and close, they climbed. Families and herds wound upward along old trackways โ€” routes that later would become pilgrim roads. They drove cattle and sheep toward the high commons, **hafod** pastures, where air was clean and enemies few. image Their movement was more than seasonal; it was ritual. The ascent from **lowland to highland** marked the turning of the year. At certain crossing-places โ€” the **pen-rhis**, the headland ridge โ€” they paused. Springs and wells there were honored as *living mouths of the earth*. Offerings were left: carved wood, beads, bone pins, small bronze blades. image At night, beneath the ridge stars, they gathered around the **sacred well**, consuming the gifts of the land โ€” honeyed mead, psylocibin fungi that grew after rain, liberty caps. The world softened, the ancestors drew close, and visions came: of hills moving like beasts, of rivers speaking, of light beneath the water. image When dawn came, they rose renewed, following the ridgeline west toward the **great lake โ€” Llyn Fawr** โ€” to cast offerings into its dark water. Bronze, amber, food, song: the price and promise of prosperity. image Then, when summer waned, they descended again to their lowland settlements, leaving behind the high camp โ€” the smoke circles, the well, the quiet stones. The Romans would later call them fierce, intractable, lovers of freedom. But to the Silures themselves, this yearly journey was not rebellion, but belonging โ€” a covenant between people, hill, and spirit. Their paths are still there, buried under heather and tarmac. And sometimes, on misted days, the wind over Penrhys still carries the breath of those who climbed before. #silures #wales #ironage #history #nostr #bitcoin #freepalestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
On Liberty... image liberty rarely dies in chaos. It dies in meetings. It dies in new legislation drafted โ€œfor your security.โ€ It dies when citizens stop noticing. And it is dying now โ€” not in some distant authoritarian state, but in the very countries that once defined democracy itself. #liberty #west #erosion #freedoms #nostr #bitcoinknots๐Ÿชข #freepalestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
Post Homo sapiens... image ### ๐Ÿงฌ 1. How long does major human evolution take? In evolutionary terms, **major speciation events** (e.g., *Homo erectus โ†’ Homo sapiens*) have taken on the order of **hundreds of thousands to millions of years**. * **Homo habilis โ†’ Homo erectus**: ~1.5 million years * **Homo erectus โ†’ Homo sapiens**: ~500,000โ€“1,000,000 years Thatโ€™s under natural selection with no technology interfering. So if weโ€™re talking **biological evolution**, the timescale for the next major species divergence would be at least **100,000 to 1 million years** โ€” *unless* artificial factors accelerate or redirect it (more on that below). image ### โš™๏ธ 2. What evolutionary pressures exist now? Evolution isnโ€™t random drift alone; itโ€™s driven by **selection pressures**. For modern humans, these are changing rapidly: | Traditional Selective Pressure | Modern Equivalent or Reduction | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Disease, famine, predators | Medical tech, global food supply, few natural predators | | Mate selection | Cultural and digital influence, not strictly biological | | Climate | Still a factor, but mitigated by technology | | Intelligence, cooperation | Still relevant, but influenced by tech and society | Because modern technology **buffers us from many natural pressures**, biological evolution has slowed โ€” but **cultural and technological evolution has exploded**. --- ### ๐Ÿ”ฎ 3. Likely future evolutionary paths **A. Genetic Evolution (Slow, Natural Path)** * Slight shifts in immunity, metabolism, and brain wiring due to environment or mating trends. * For example, adaptation to microgravity (if humans live in space) or altered circadian rhythms from artificial light exposure. * Timeline: **50,000โ€“500,000 years.** **B. Tech-Assisted Evolution (Fast, Directed Path)** * Genetic engineering (CRISPR, germline editing) could *intentionally* change traits in decades. * Cybernetic enhancement (neural implants, prosthetics) could blur line between biology and machine. * Artificial selection (designer embryos, longevity tech). * Timeline: **decades to centuries**. **C. Speciation by Separation** * If humans colonize Mars or deep space, isolated populations may diverge genetically over many generations. * Different gravity, radiation, and environment could create a *new species of human*. * Timeline: **tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years**. image ### ๐ŸŒ 4. Possible โ€œnext humansโ€ Scientists and futurists sometimes use names like: | Hypothetical Future Species | Description | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | **Homo technologicus** | Cybernetically enhanced, reliant on AI integration | | **Homo novus** | Genetically designed humans with optimized traits | | **Homo celestis** | Space-adapted humans (low gravity, radiation tolerance) | | **Post-biological entities** | Consciousness uploaded into machines or digital substrates | --- ### ๐Ÿงญ 5. Bottom Line * **Natural biological evolution:** next major shift in ~100,000โ€“1,000,000 years * **Artificial/technological evolution:** possible within **centuries** * The dominant driver is no longer pure Darwinian evolution โ€” itโ€™s **cultural and technological evolution**, which moves millions of times faster. #future #humans #evolution #technology #nostr #bitcoin #freepalestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
image ๐ŸŽƒ Happy Halloween! ๐Ÿ‘ป ### ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ **Halloween: An Echo of Animism** When the year grows thin, and the veil of light begins to fray, something ancient stirs in the dark. The harvest sleeps. The land exhales. We light fires to remember. image Long before Halloween, it was **Samhain** in Ireland, **Calan Gaeaf** in Wales โ€” a threshold between warmth and frost, between this world and the next. The Celts knew: the earth is alive. The wind, the stone, the flame โ€” each has a soul. They masked their faces, left food for spirits, and walked gently through the night. Not from fear โ€” but respect. image Then came new prayers, new names โ€” **All Hallowsโ€™ Eve.** But the fire beneath the words remained. And still it burns. Beneath our electric lights, beneath our laughter and costumes, the old rhythm moves. Halloween is not about death, but about connection โ€” between past and present, living and unseen. For one night each year, we remember: everything has a spirit, and everything still speaks. #halloween #animism #nostr #bitcoin #freepalestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
