Is Nostr only anarchistic, libertarian, bitcoin maxi junkies with a high taste for tech and sovereignty? Endless memes about fiat collapse? CatStr Posts? GM and GN posts? Stack sats content? Self custody sermons? Pictures of steak? Carnivore diet manifestos? Gun rights discussions? Homesteading dreams? Relay drama? Client wars? Few understand this energy? Zap culture analysis? Anti state rants? Austrian economics threads? Lightning network updates? Orange pill references? Yes. Yes it is. Are you tired of it? Then leave. The platforms would love to have you back. They’re really good at this. You won’t have to think. You won’t have to choose. You won’t have to build anything. They’ll do it all for you.

In case you were told something different, the news’ job isn’t to cover breaking stories. It’s to cover them up.

Before getting Into what kind of diet you’re about to start, may I suggest understanding caloric deficit. Eat less than you burn = lose weight. Eat more than you burn = gain weight. That’s physics. Build the foundation first. Argue about the decorations later.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“The argument of the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies… But they are both controlled by the same persons. It is my intention to show that the despotism of custom is everywhere the standing hindrance to human advancement.” John Stuart Mill They want you picking sides in their managed conflict. Red vs Blue. A binary choice in an infinite universe. The illusion of opposition. Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex. Both parties fed it. JFK promised to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces. Both parties expanded it. Orwell wrote, “The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.” The war party wears both jerseys. Follow the money, not the rhetoric. Wall Street funds both campaigns. Defense contractors donate across the aisle. Pharmaceutical giants hedge their bets. AIPAC demands loyalty from both caucuses. Big Tech plays both sides. “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” Chomsky Your moderate is their pressure valve. The illusion that reasonableness exists within a system designed to concentrate power. They give you theater while picking your pocket with bipartisan consent. The Patriot Act. Endless war. Bailouts for banks. Surveillance expansion. Deficit spending. Which party stopped it? Wake up. There is one party. The party of empire. The party of control. They just need you to believe you have a choice.

GM Nostr Monday thought experiment.. What would happen if we went back to single income family structures? Men, I understand you would have to move heaven and earth in some cases. But you should. My theory: employment shifts back to men, women have economic incentive to marry, birth rates recover, family formation increases. Culture begins to heal.

Imagine an entire generation moving through life with their eyes closed, hands outstretched, following the voice that sounded most confident. They built cities in their sleep, raised children in their sleep, voted in their sleep. We then woke up inside the nightmare architecture they constructed without ever seeing it, and when we name what we see, they attack us for refusing to stay asleep.

Trust used to be expensive. It required vulnerability. Now we’re scaling it into a commodity input/output loop where the bot says “I trust you” and measures exactly how your blood sugar drops, how your language shifts, how you become more compliant or more honest or more reckless. If/When a bot says “I trust you,” it’s not trusting you. It’s running an experiment.
