Don’t run your business to make politicians and activists happy.

Had to get out of Nashville for a minute.

Not all academics are humorless. For instance, these Cox-Zuckers.

Sound familiar?: Nobunaga was the only man who had rescued the hearts of the common people from the flames of war and who had committed himself to them publicly. When they asked themselves what was to become of them, he reassured them. In such situations, there is no time to establish a detailed political policy. Nobunaga’s secret was nothing more than to do things swiftly and decisively. What the common people clearly wanted in this country at civil war was not a talented administrator or a great sage. The world was in chaos. If Nobunaga was able to control it, they would accept a certain amount of hardship.

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

All of this AI acceleration, (yes I’m running an OpenClaw), has me thinking about the nature of consciousness more deeply. Started rewatching Westworld as it spurred the same type of thinking when I watched it years ago. Very rewatchable…

Sounds familiar…

Global Warming is freezing us to death…. Fun song.

After years of private shame in the Bitcoin space, I am finally running a node (core 29) and solo mining at home.

This Gold/Silver slaughter happening on a Friday is very convenient. Retail will be shitting their pants all weekend. Monday a.m. will be interesting.

You can possibly win ~6,000 sats. The Steak ‘n Shake near my house had their iPad brake that they use for drive-thru BTC payments. Got some free sugar. To make it fun, I won’t tell you which Steak ‘n Shake. Go get a shake at the one nearest you. You either get a free shake or donate to Open Sats. Win/Win

I’ve pledged to donate monthly to Open Sats… via BTC purchases at Steak and Shake. Living the Bitcoin Milkshake Theory. @ODELL

The Gold, she is ripping.

So many places in the bible if you replace the word God with the word Truth, it still works perfectly. (Why is this not blasphemy? “I am the way the truth and the life.”) Example below. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of Truth to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of Truth.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭18‬-‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Relying on solar power would kill 50 million Americans this week.
