I know what It's like to be physically willing and able and even ambitious enough to work, but its not enough. Powerlessness is seeking to grow financially and spiritually but no matter how well you do in your local economy it's never enough to save. Even if you could save, the banks are corrupt and offer no interest in your deposits and there is not much that you can lucratively invest in. Thats how it is for many places in the global South, thats how it is for many places closer to home... View article →

Should bitcoin standard become the way of the global economy, it will be crazy to finally witness a society where no expects a bail out or savior. Nice post

The world has never been more connected—yet, it’s never been quieter. Small talk is fading. Conversations are shrinking into social media posts. Airports, waiting rooms, and cafés once filled with chatter now resemble libraries. True connection goes beyond the digital—it’s built in everyday moments, through casual conversations that spark real relationships. I’ve seen what happens when distractions disappear. During Army Reserve training, without internet, small talk thrives, and real bonds form. Maybe it’s time we reclaim that. Put down the phone. Look up. Say something. What do you think? Have we lost the art of conversation? View article →

This era of high technology has done plenty of good for society but it has also detethered humans from nature. What a great reminder to reconnect and reflect on the season and the retrospection that this season naturally inspires. View article →

Take a closer look at the way people spend, borrow, and consume, and it becomes painfully clear: most people are actively forfeiting their ability to build and own wealth.

The Last Era of the Present As we merge with AI and replicate our identities across the digital landscape, the concept of the present dissolves. No longer bound by linear time, our existence will span past, present, and future simultaneously. Our digital selves will persist indefinitely, continuously engaging with the identities of others, creating an eternal, interconnected consciousness beyond the constraints of human experience. This is our future. How near....it may be closer than we think.

Anyone on Nostr knows this is a different kind of social media. Now that we have something to hold traditional social media up against its crazy to see how Twitter and Facebook may have been used as tools to topple regimes around the world.

Life might very be God's attempt to better understand itself. Why then, is our chief obstacle in life always ourselves. View article →

My brother and I got into a heated debate today. He was wondering why I would vote for Trump. I wish I had an answer that was all encompassing but i didn't have one. No one candidate could fix all the issues in the world and that's not the point. I think there has to be a point in time when people start realizing the USA will not solve all the worlds problems and will only barely be able to solve its some of its own. One thing I was confident about is that Trump is no doubt like a defibrillator to a dying system. It may not save it but it will certainly jolt some vitality into it. Time will tell how long that vitality will last. #problemsToFix #defibrillator #FixtheMoneyFixtheWorld?

My children are a near perfect reflection of me and my partner's genes—every strength, every flaw, every hidden shadow woven into their being. I often remind myself that I’ve wrestled with my own darkness, tempered it, and learned to wield the light. Its hard to remember im not the main character any more. I need to guide my children do the same lest they become the evil version of myself.

Here's a relatively neutral breakdown of the United State's history of tariffs and how Trump's most recent round of tariffs might affect the US internally.

Excellently written. I work in Dental IT and my industry is starting to see a shift away from on premises networks to the cloud. Dr.s are jumping o mn the train not thinking it through. They are leaving ownership and long term thinking for rentorship and short term thinking. They take $200 every month for owning nothing and being upsold everything as new features are always being dangled in front of them vs $50,000 once to set up a network and internal domain with their OWN server running programs that they OWN and have all features fully developed and accessible and guaranteed to last 6-8 years.... Even this could be pushed to last longer because the nature of servers os that you can change out component pieces but the software giants do the same with operating systems! Sorry long rant- but yes, you are right silicon valley is lost so far up their own ass and they are the leaders of industry society follows into the future.

I cant imagine what it must be like to work hard for a year and at the end of it the government just says, "all that money you made last year, it doesn't exist anymore" what the actual fuk I didn't know this, can't believe I haven't come across it.

Im reading the Epic of Gilgamesh atm and the forward to the penguin random house publication describes how the poems that form the epic were discovered. Its interesting to see how some of the oldest writing in human history could survive so many thousands of years. Human interaction is characterized by labor and love and we have an innate drive to cast that into the future. What better way than to write about it and here you are drawing parallels between the oldest known written language and the most breakthrough technologies in social media and writing! Great article!
