The truth is the truth is the truth.
There's a striking difference between X & Nostr. X had an addictive element, probably due to the algorithm. Tweets seem to go into the ether unless you have a sizeable following or get retweeted by someone who has. Nostr feels quieter for sure and its taken me a while to get my head into it but mostly to push past that lack of algorithmic stimulus. Much like Bitcoin there's a certain proof of work element and you get out what you put in. The discussions and insights I've gained here are second to none. They are authentic and stimulating in a good way - ethnically & spirituality. There's less hate and more hope. Refreshing. View quoted note →
I came across this quote by Plato for the first time today. Probably explains why I have so few friends lol. The truth is the truth is the truth. IYKYK. image
About 20 years ago I spent a month at a Buddhist monastery in Nepal studying Buddhist philosophy and practicing meditation. There were hundreds of monks there, from boys as young as about 5 up to men who were very elderly. Anyway, there was this one young monk, perhaps aged 7 or so who caught my attention. He was still a kid like the others, he played the same games but etc but he stood out. I couldn't put my finger on it, he was extremely charismatic, like an old soul in a young body. I learned later he was a reincarnation of a prominent lama who had been identified as such at a very early age. Now you could argue he was different because the other monks probably treated him differently but this kid had more of a personality than most adults I've ever met. This experience, along with others, has made me much more open to the possibility of reincarnation. View quoted note →
Two new books to get stuck into by @Neal & @npub10ayl...g36y I've started with All the things we could do and wow, its a real page turner! Great orange pilling material. 👌 I'm very much looking forward to reading Modern Chains and the slavery system. #bitcoinbook 📚 image
