Beauty becomes the crucial bridge because it's the one experience that simultaneously transcends causality while remaining fully embodied.

Going to start a school of life.
Topics to include:
Raising children
Ancestral nutrition
Bitcoin and money
Philosophy
Architecture
Woodworking
Metalworking
Sewing
Health and human performance
Design and beauty
Gardening
Consciousness
Going to search for local masters who embody these crafts and ideals of a flourishing human condition.
One day this will be a reality.
#bitcoin provides resources to develop consciousness
There is ONE pattern that generates all living structure, whether in buildings, money, or consciousness. This pattern can’t be fully described but can be recognized, felt, and participated with.
When you align with this pattern through #Bitcoin, through meaningful work, through conscious presence you’re not just improving your life but participating in the fundamental generative force of reality itself.
The abstraction of bitcoin should serve the ultimate return to embodied energy.
Ai is the map not the territory.
Impatience is just time preference poisoned by social truth
How many candles equal a lightbulb? How many dollars is a bitcoin worth?
Don’t measure the new against the dying.
Find me someone who deeply understood #bitcoin then abandoned it. They essentially don’t exist.
The technical priests (developers) can debate theology all day. The faithful just need to know: “21 million forever, run node to protect.” #bitcoin
#bitcoin is a liberation of will
Will is the incompressible core of the universe.
Information describes what is, but will determines what becomes.

Here’s a quick way to retrain your brain to the bitcoin standard.
Assume you had $100,000,000 USD
Now price ‘x’ in sats
Now ask yourself if you had that much USD would you buy whatever ‘x’ was.
Current pricing systems don’t capture true scarcity and energy investment
Initial Price Discovery Period
Week 1: Basic Survival
• People trade existing Bitcoin for food/shelter at arbitrary rates
• Massive price volatility as markets seek equilibrium
Month 1-3: Energy Auditing
• Communities establish energy measurement standards
• Basic goods get standardized energy ratings
• Labor rates stabilize around energy output + skill premiums
Month 3-12: Complex Pricing
• Manufacturing energy costs get calculated
• Service pricing emerges
• Scarcity premiums for rare materials solidify
Phase 5: Market Mechanisms
Price Discovery:
1. Energy Audits: Every product/service gets energy accounting
2. Scarcity Assessments: Regular updates on resource availability
3. Utility Ratings: Community-driven value assessments
4. Dynamic Pricing: Real-time adjustments based on supply/demand
Trading Posts:
• Local energy accounting stations
• Standardized measurement tools
• Bitcoin payment infrastructure
• Energy content databases
Quality Grades:
• Grade A: High energy density, rare, superior utility
• Grade B: Medium energy investment, common, standard utility
• Grade C: Low energy content, abundant, basic utility
Phase 4: Complex Goods Pricing
Manufactured Items:
Smartphone:
• Raw materials energy: 50 kWh
• Manufacturing energy: 200 kWh
• R&D energy cost (amortized): 100 kWh
• Transport: 10 kWh
• Total: 360 kWh = 240,000 sats = 0.0024 BTC
Services Pricing:
Medical Checkup:
• Doctor time: 1 hour = 750 sats
• Facility energy cost: 5 kWh = 3,333 sats
• Equipment amortization: 2,000 sats
• Total: ~6,100 sats
Phase 3: Material Valuation System
Energy Density + Scarcity Formula:
Price = (Energy Content × Processing Energy × Scarcity Factor × Utility Premium) ÷ Bitcoin Energy Unit
Wood Example:
Pine 2x4 lumber:
• Raw energy: 15 MJ/kg = 4.17 kWh/kg
• Processing energy: 2 kWh/kg (sawing, drying)
• Total: 6.17 kWh/kg = 4,113 sats/kg
• Standard 2x4 (2.5 kg) = ~10,300 sats
Old-Growth Redwood:
• Same base energy: 4.17 kWh/kg
• Processing: 3 kWh/kg (careful handling)
• Scarcity multiplier: 25x (centuries to grow)
• Utility premium: 3x (superior strength)
• Total: (7.17 × 25 × 3) = 538 kWh/kg = 358,667 sats/kg
• Equivalent board = ~896,667 sats (0.009 BTC)
