A brief and powerful letter that cuts to the heart of why art exists and should continue. Art is a mode of being. Not a mode of having. You should not give that over to the machines any more than you would let them relieve you of a good meal, a good conversation, or great sex. These things are not to be optimized but savored.

What is up with the mempool right now?! People really paying almost 800 s/vb!! Or am I misreading the RBF feed? Still, mempool is very full.

The line between good and evil runs through the heart of every man. And so this ripples upward to the social structures man creates. This we see the cycle of empire follow a predictable path. It’s important we separate the temporal character of the late stage American empire from “the idea of America” as envisioned at its founding and in its golden era. These are a distinct set of ideas (or ideals) which serve as intellectual patterns of value to guide us. Right now the “idea of America” seems to shine brightest in El Salvador, frankly.

How do I evaluate relays? I see a long list of relay addresses. No clue why I should choose one over the other. Also, how many relays should I be connected to? Is there a point of diminishing returns? More guidance is need here.
