On Beverly Ann McGraw #It'sOn

This morning I had a thought. Albeit, one that I have often. The meaning of words. That is to say, their definition. When "authorities" change what a word means or how to use it, that is a debasement of language. Think about it. The word vaccine used to mean a treatment that confers FULL immunity so that you can move around freely without fear since you have armor or protection from said disease. Why worry who has an infection. You are vaccinated therefore immune, right? But with the "pandemic", to be vaccinated meant that others have to be immune for you to be safe. See the underhanded change in the definition? Did you spot it? Others have to be immune, not you. That's what vaccines mean now and we didn't even need a new dictionary, Merriam-Webster. Debasement of language is the NEW, NEW inflation. One devalues currency, the other language. It is a brave new world indeed. #nostr #plebchain #grownostr #bitcoin #asknostr #truthstr

Plebs Service Announcement (PSA) I had this theory once. Ivermectin is an anti-inflammatory drug. Maybe that's why people like it for so many things lately. Including you know what 👀 Anyways, I thought I would try it for the first time, not because I got some made up disease. Not that. It is because all of a sudden I have bags under my eyes. All those years, I never had such a problem. My sleep was good. Back when I had an Oura ring to track my sleep architecture. I just found out that not only is Ivermectin not a good drug, it is downright dangerous. Yes, you read that correctly. Don't take my word for it. Here's a video you should watch and decide for yourself. You're welcome.

There. Post done.

Remember SNL from the 80s and Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy? I was thinking about Stephen Hawking and the woman who told him, "the earth is flat and it is turtles all the way down." That was one of the original memes. The word meme is courtesy of Richard Dawkins, a stanch atheist. All of a sudden, I thought, "is it turtles all the way up?" What I mean by that is, how did existence come to be? I know about the Big Bang Theory and all. I also was educated in religious schools, Muslim (Sudan, Saudi Arabia) and Catholic (Williamsburg, VA). That is to say, I know about God creating the world in 7 days. Yes, it is the same story in Christianity and Islam. Surprised? But just like a fish in a fish bowl can't "see" past its world (the bowl) and "feels" something is off because that isn't its natural habitat (the river, the sea, the ocean), we humans keep asking ourself what is the meaning of life? Where do come from? If God created us, who created God? What is the beginning of the beginning? Maybe we are two lost souls living in a fish bowl year after year. Pink Floyd. Maybe we, like the fish, are not in our "natural habitat" and we need help getting back home. Bitcoin fixes this. #nostr #plebchain #grownostr #Bitcoin #asknostr

On Wealth #It'sOn There is a thesis courtesy of Allan Farrington that Gross Domestic Product, otherwise known as GDP, is a misleading metric for measuring the performance of a nation state. My bad. I was totally conceptualizing wealth in GDP terms. When you are an unapologetic Economist reader. Not anymore. I lost my free access. Getting back on topic. Apparently, GDP is a better measure of an organization's ability to destroy wealth rather than capture it. Shocking. This leads me to think that our own measurement as individuals through the metric known as "net worth" is probably the wrong way to think of our economic value. That is, our worthiness as a creditor. Instead, we should be judged on our ability to transform or translate given credit to true value or desirable good. In other words, wealth. Let me say that again. When people take on debit, and in return, produce something that people want, need, or desire, that is wealth. Yet, that is not how we do things. We have it all wrong. We need a revisionist history on that. A great injustice has been carried out and people are supposedly non-the-wiser. They look askance when the hand of true justice points the finger at them. Not me, they want to say. Not my fault. I didn't know. Bullshit, I say in response. You knew all along. You had a front row seat. You chose to look the other way. You took the money. You sold your soul to the devil, all the while claiming the moral high ground. What insult to injury. Instead of making useless arguments that no one in their right mind would believe, how about you do the right thing. Not apologize. That is an empty gesture and words are cheap. Do something. Change the system. Change your ways. Maya Angelou famously said, "when you know better, you do better". Which is funny if you think about it because "ignorance of the law" is also no excuse, as we are told by those who enforce the law. I turn it back to them. How do you explain the blatant criminality then? Pray tell, how is it that you are able to rob, steal, injure and kill with impunity in the name of bravery, humanity and freedom? When was the last time you admitted THE TRUTH. Not my truth, your truth, their truth. In the end, those who right the ship, find the righteous path, take the arduous journey are rewarded for their courage, strong-will, and character. Resist temptations, small lies, justifications of clear wrong-doings. If you don't the devil will take your spirit as promised. Don't cry foul. You have no leg to stand on. Amen.

GM NOSTR. If you watch any popular Bitcoin podcasts, then you've probably ran across the truism that "the map is not the territory." Well, I just was listening to Scott Adam of Dilbert cartoon fame, and he was arguing about the weaponization of our justice system. He calls it lawfare (as opposed to warfare). Get it? Then I was struck with a thought (as I have the annoying tendency to do) that the idea that there is tension between the spirit of the law versus the letter of the law, is another way of exposing the territory is not the map. The spirit of is the territory and the letter is the map. Happy Sunday, Noha #Bitcoin #plebchain #nostr #grownostr

On Enemies #It'sOn We have all heard the expression that you are your own worst enemy. Today, I intuited a new variation on that theme from a TED talk I watched on infinite games by Simon Sindek. You are your own competition, rival, adversary and standard bearer. As soon as you catch yourself comparing yourself to others or in mid-judgement, as you do (otherwise someone issue a quick sainthood over here), immediately look down and behold yourself. That should always be the focus and drive for your success, your own betterment, your excellence. Not how you measure up against other people. The only reason, in my book, to look at other people is for admiration and then inspiration. Other people show you through their actions and achievement what is possible. Then turn inward and continue your journey, young padwan. One day, if you're lucky, you can be that hero for others. #nostr #grownostr #bitcoin #plebchain

On Halving #It'sOn

On Insanity #It'sOn First things first, let's define the word. If insane, crazy, or mad means that your thoughts, compulsions, mindset, actions, discourse, senses and appearance does not fit with existing society norms so as to move common social interactions toward an objective goal or end, then yes. I am insane. At least at the present. The best part. I do not need a pill for that. It is a feature, not a bug. Fuck normal! Do you agree? #bitcoin #nostr #plebchain #grownostr #asknostr #instanitystr

Noha Recommends There are so many mysteries in life. Why is the sky blue? Why are plants green? Where do babies come from? What is the meaning of life? Where do people go when they die? Chief among them is why does wine taste better in Europe than in America? Well, people. This nut has been cracked. @BenJustman has the BEST wine I have ever tasted. No exaggeration, no hyperbole. It is that good. What Ben has achieved is nothing short of a miracle. Both White (Chardonnay) and Red (Cabernet Sauvignon) are tasty, flavorful, perfectly bodied. The best part, no hangovers!! For reals. Don't trust, verify. Reach out to Ben. Pay with sats. Why? Ben is a keeper 🙂 #nostr #grownostr #plebchain #bitcoin #artisanstr
