"In our time and culture, the battlefield of life is money.
Instead of horses and chariots, guns and fortresses, there are banks, checkbooks, credit cards, mortgages, salaries, the IRS.
But the inner enemies remain the same now as they were in ancient India or feudal Japan: fear, self-deception, vanity, egoism, wishful thinking, tension, and violence."
—Jacob Needleman, from 'Money and the Meaning of Life' (1991)
normie land is killing me y'all
it's like an entirely different reality out there. one where people are sick all the time, lazy, obsessed with sports and tv, and full of anxiety or stress about something.

Austin, Texas to me is great, partly because it gives me access to _all_ of Texas which is *very great*
but you may not prefer Austin or Texas. that's okay. find your place. find your happy. you'll never see me trying to convince people to live in one place or another because i understand that people are different.
i just want everyone to find their place
if you don't like where you live, move. you're not a tree.
i just want to see people happy with where they're at. the more happy people there are in the world the fewer problems we'll all have with each other
and a big contributor to happiness is where you live

the amount of circles they're trying to square over in that forum is wild
that the government cares about you and tells you the truth is the real conspiracy theory

people are so afraid to make a mistake, but you learn by making mistakes
if you want to improve i would start by getting out there and making more mistakes
if a jerk tells you the truth it's still the truth
"but i had good intentions!"
"but it's for a good cause!"
don't care. what matters is outcomes.
too many people out here thinking their kind heart is somehow more relevant than the disastrous consequences it leads to.

your money in increasingly worthless and it is by design

don't publicly shit on people building something if you don't like it. if you truly care and have constructive criticism deliver it in private.
we need more builders. encourage creation. failed attempts can also be thought of as iterations, which get better at each pass
what happened to the Blue Collar Bitcoin guys?
