Our continual mistake is that we do not concentrate upon the present day, the actual hour, of our life; we live in the past or the future; we are continually expecting the coming of some special moment when our life will unfold itself in its full significance. And we do not notice that life is flowing like water through our fingers, sifting like precious grain from a loosely fastened bag. Constantly, each day, each hour, God is sending us people, circumstances, tasks, which should mark the beginning of our renewal; yet we pay them no attention, and thus continually we resist God’s will for us. Indeed, how can God help us? Only by sending us in our daily life certain people, and certain coincidences of circumstance. If we accepted every hour of our life as the hour of God’s will for us, as the decisive, most important, unique hour of our life – what sources of joy, love, strength, as yet hidden from us, would spring from the depth of our soul! Let us then be serious in our attitude towards each person we meet in our life, towards every opportunity of performing a good deed; be sure that you will then fulfill God’s will for you in these very circumstances, on that very day, in that very hour.

This is one of the most compelling UFO theories I've heard in some time. Specifically about the metallic spheres that have appeared in photos and videos all over the world going back for decades and possibly centuries if you accept written accounts and artistic renderings. Patrick Jackson has been working on this for a while and gotten a shout out from Gary Nolan even. Worth a ponder @Conspiracy Dimensions @ralf @bevo @NEW1 https://www.youtube.com/live/sJG2ePX_cjQ

No doubt Saylor is smart and can be interesting to listen to but he has some sketchy takes. His analogies have always been poetic but it seems they are getting less so and more absurd. He pretends he is against ossification but can't give a single example of something that might be worth considering upgrading. He didn't even agree that segwit should have been implemented, while saying everything else should be moved to layer 2 and 3, without mentioning that lightning, the only truly successful layer 2 so far, wouldn't have been possible without it. Does he really not understand this or is he just being deceptive? Either way not a good look.

Many bitcoiners know Agustín Guillermo Carstens Carstens, the general manager of the Bank of International Settlements, through memes depicting him as the final boss of Bitcoin, due to his monumental stature as well as his disparaging comments about bitcoin, and the Bank’s push for global crypto regulation and pushing for CBDC adoption.  The history of the BIS is less well know, but boy is it full of some juicy tidbits. The following quotes are from David Talbot’s masterpiece about Allen Dulles, America’s first psychopath CIA director and puppet master, The Devil's Chessboard. “One of Dulles’s most important contacts in Europe was Thomas McKittrick, an old Wall Street friend who was president of the Bank for International Settlements. BIS had been created by the world’s leading central banks to administer German reparations payments after World War I, but it soon took on a life of its own, transforming itself into a pillar of the emerging global financial system. Lodged in a former hotel next to a chocolate shop in Basel, Switzerland, BIS was so secretive that nobody was permitted to peer inside its boardroom, even when it was empty. By 1940, when McKittrick arrived in Switzerland to oversee the bank, it was effectively controlled by Hitler’s regime. Five of its directors would later be charged with war crimes, including Hermann Schmitz, the CEO of IG Farben, the chemical conglomerate that became notorious for its production of Zyklon B, the gas used in Hitler’s death camps, and for its extensive use of slave labor during the war.” “The secretive BIS became a crucial financial partner for the Nazis. Emil Puhl—vice president of Hitler’s Reichsbank and a close associate of McKittrick—once called BIS the Reichsbank’s only “foreign branch.” BIS laundered hundreds of millions of dollars in Nazi gold looted from the treasuries of occupied countries. Some of the gold was torn from the mouths of concentration camp victims or melted down from Jewish families’ candleholders, cigarette cases, and other personal belongings.” (Completely unrelated side note: McKittrick went on to work for Chase Bank after the war.) Understandably, this sort of behavior soured the Allied countries toward the BIS, and at the Bretton Woods Conference the decision was made to completely disband and liquidate the BIS. However, this decision was opposed by none other than the head of the British delegation at the conference, well known economist and sexual predator John Maynard Keynes, and so the bank was never dissolved, and continues to be a tool economic imperialism and money laundering for the world’s richest and most powerful people to this day. Isn't history fun?
