A shantyman for BTC. Occasional purveyor of cypher-funk. I save Satoshis, because Satoshi saves

I’d tell you all what a great Stoic I’m becoming. But that would be very un-stoic.

I’ve finished recording another B-T-Sea Shanty. May be my best one yet. I’ve actually been sitting on it for at least four, maybe five years. It’s really the first one I ever wrote in a way. Just been carrying it with me, jangling around in my head. I’m all ready to release it… but I don’t want to. I don’t know why. Doesn’t feel right? What am I sensing here?

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.

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.
