GM nostr! Beautiful day today. Got some home health people coming over this morning to help the wife, then got some more spring cleanup to do around the property outside.

Most bitcoiners' stacks exist in a quantum state not unlike Schrodinger's cat. It is both hypothetically much more valuable than the current exchange rate, while simultaneously having no discovered value at all because they never spend it. I say if you never use any of it to materially benefit your life or your family then it benefits you not at all to horde it.

My wife doesn't want to go back to the hospital but I'm going to have to make the choice for her if she gets any worse tonight. I'll respect her wishes right up until it's a matter of life or death. I've already convinced her that we're going first thing in the morning if we don't go tonight, but I'm not sure she's going to make it through the night.

When you consider all of the advancements that have been made in the last 50 years to increase the capacity and efficiency of the production and distribution of goods, and you realize that because of all that the cost of so many things should really be much cheaper today, that should make you very, very angry at what they've done to us.

The bestselling author of The Parasitic Mind shows why empathy in politics leads to civilizational collapse. What happens when a society elevates victimhood to a virtue and decides that punishment is cruel? You get the disease Dr. Gad Saad calls suicidal empathy. And the West may be terminally infected. In his new book, Suicidal Empathy, Saad unleashes a blistering critique of maladaptively irrational altruism that has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. The results are everywhere: from coddling violent criminals to protecting rapists to branding self-defense as toxic behavior. We are witnessing a civilization in rapid decline. Lunatic policies are instituted because we prioritize the feelings of ostensibly marginalized groups over The Truth, criminals over victims, and squatters over homeowners. This is not humane; it’s an active dismantling of the pillars that keep us safe and free. This crisis of empathy creates a horrifying system of inverse morality where the strong and successful are demonized, and the destructive are celebrated. Just look at the insane inversions we tolerate daily: we prefer illegal migrants over our own legal citizens and veterans, permit drug addicts to threaten children’s safety in parks, and elevate transgender 'women' above biological women in sports and safe spaces. Common sense is dying in a deluge of misguided compassion. Suicidal Empathy is your wake-up call. Stop ignoring your survival instincts in the name of political correctness. This isn't just misguided policy; it is the ultimate expression of a culture actively choosing its own demise.
