X may have been down today, but Nostr was still up and running. A glimpse into the future..

The Self is the hardest tool to use because you must live your entire existence through its lens, and for the vast majority of people who have ever existed or currently exist, it’s not a tool but their God. For the brilliant to the retarded and for the sociopathic to the pious, too frequently Truth equals satisfaction of the self, often even in noble pursuits and many times among “men or women of God.” Yet if you sincerely accept that Truth is Divine reality, due to the “flexible nature” of man, then it simply becomes a question of which Divine reality? Your morality must then derive from what you accept as Divine Truth, aka religion. You can never view the self as a tool if you view it as “God.” Even if you accept yourself as a means to Divine ends, it’s frequently those chasing false idols who are often mentally deranged. As a rational, stable individual, viewing yourself as a tool of the Divine feels odd. You don’t want to be associated with the loony bin. That’s understandable, but it still doesn’t change the fundamental reality that the “YOU” you are so proud of is just an ever-changing series of Divine decisions—therefore, you must view yourself as an instrument of the Divine, despite the urge not to. I know this is kinda gay, but the key is to have a clear and clean heart with sincere love for others. Only then can you truly connect with the Divine in a meaningful way. That’s the only path to Truth.

Yes..words serve the purpose of communicating your intent and of course they matter, but the real story is always in the unsaid and the subtle. You the human will always have one particular edge over machine analysis. It may not always lead to the correct conclusion, but it will often provide “data” not available to surveillance tech. It is your ability to feel aka what we’ve been discussing a lot, human intuition. You can feel when an influencer is motivated by superficial desires. You can feel when an account is only interested in clicks. You can feel someone’s disposition in the way they write or respond. You can feel the specific aspects of someone’s anxiety from the way they post in a way that a machine cannot. You can feel when someone is strictly interested in just seeking attention or validation. You can sometimes even tell the difference between people reacting negatively to the same tragedy. One is driven by scoring online points vs. another who may be genuinely concerned. This is the only real advantage you possess in the coming world so it’s best to cultivate this and develop a strong intuitive sense of the digital landscape. Your analysis will only go so far.

Apologies to Muslim, Christian, Eastern, or Western masses (lovingly known as biomass ❤️). Most of you are clueless about the challenges we face and will likely never understand them, but that's okay. You'll hopefully be dragged into a better world whether you get it or not, so don't stress yourselves too much and just tag along. But it's not all bad. A segment of our beloved biomass is critical for achieving targeted political goals: the young and politically energized men. They are a powerful force that must be wielded by the right visionary to have any chance at success. Energized young men with a goal have been the conduit of every great change in previous eras, whether positive or negative. In the information age, the mega-political conditions allow even a small group of politically energized actors to organize quickly and make an outsized impact. Note that the politically energized segment in the US last decade was female-led social justice. They failed because they attacked fictional problems. Compare that to the 20th century, where mega-political conditions favored those with established international networks in a world of expanding international collaboration and competition. Our Israelite friends succeeded because they had worldwide networks for centuries. Unlike then, today's conditions are ideal for smaller players or groups to organize quickly and compete with larger ones. We're witnessing this firsthand with the Groyper Army in a different way. They are outcompeting the giant money pot of pro-establishment media by simply sheer passion and dedication, interestingly very human traits. Though the situation looks bleak now, I'm confident each nation will find the young men to precipitate change, but it won't be smooth sailing. It must begin in the United States for many reasons, mainly because conditions here are ideal to test this with Nick and the Groypers but also this is the epicenter of fiat finance.

A message for Bitcoiners: as fun as HFSP is, it’s kind of meaningless if our society breaks down and there is chaos and strife for decades. Yeah you’ll personally be well off, but then again maybe not if there’s instability and security concerns. If you own a significant amount of Bitcoin, you should not only be evangelizing, you should actively be thinking about how this Bitcoin backed world should be structured on a large scale. You’ll be stakeholders in that world and so you may as well shape it. What’s the point of being rich but then living in systems designed by the worst among us. Yes there will be enclaves of peace and if you’re rich enough you can just run to those, but again is it worth the cost of suffering for millions or billions. I’ve been in the space for so long, but I have yet to see a bitcoiner publicly discuss how this world should be shaped. Everything I’ve read or heard has been broad generalizations about the long term potential. In the meantime though, we are getting closer and closer to the end of fiat.

I wish we could direct the TikTok exodus to Nostr, someone should tell them!

Why Network States are inevitable if we assume hyperbitcoinization: 1). Nation States are all pretty much bankrupt already. 2). Btc accumulation takes a long time for nation state level actors without the price running away. 3). In a Bitcoin backed world, printing money is no longer an option, therefore current Nation States will get outcompeted due to their wasteful spending. Either they will adopt and become Networks or die. 4). As you can see below, individuals own most of the supply, so we will instantly see the rise of the sovereign individual.

Finally! May we replace X forever
