Finally finish listening to this podcast episode. Although it’s a joy listening to the explanation from @Gigi and the others. It’s quite painful to hear some questions from Jordan Peterson. I can’t stop thinking many of the questions cannot be clearly answered in a podcast. If everyone spend “some time” reading bitcoin books and of course in this case “21 lessons”. Many of the concepts can be clearly explained. And not confused by “who is them?” “Who benefits from the system” “I don’t like conspiracy theories.” Anyway, I suppose it’s at least a good step to start asking questions. But in many cases, the answer and good resources are out there. And perhaps I need to remind myself. The peace always lies within me. Forgive other people are just innocently living their lives.

Just have an interesting insight while I am sunbathing today. The wind comes and goes, resulting into blocking the sunlight or let the sun comes out shining. The sun is ALWAYS there. Cloud comes and go. They are like mind. They are not the real you. When the sun is blocked by a cloud. There’s nothing wrong with the sun. The only thing we need to do is to wait the cloud going away. So the next question is: if we are all inherently great and shining (just like the sun), what would you do? Would you do things that really inspire you? Or just play the rats race in the fiat game that “seems” reasonable? “I have to do this because I am “just” a normal person so I cannot choose?” No, each individual of us is unique and shining just like the sun. We just have to realize what’s covered on us and let them away. As long as we want to.

What will the bitcoin ecosystem be if everyone spend time studying how to run a node and self hosting lightning node, instead of spending all the time plotting charts and imagining the “cycles”? Run your own node. It’s fun and rewarding.

Mellowship Slinky In B Major- RHCP (guitar cover) Have been considering if I should record guitar cover and share my passion for guitar. Really get inspired by @ivy lumi ‘s recent podcast about just putting out our inspiration out. After all, it’s what the power of Nostr gives us, right? Let’s funk it up!!! 🤟🤟🤟

Most people don’t really “enjoy” having one hour lunch with their colleagues and talking shit. They just have to work 8 hours a day and can’t leave work early even though they have nothing to do. Sad fiat system.

It’s such an irony when a therapist says to the patient that it’s very important to dig out the past and find out what’s “wrong” in the past relationships. And the patient must fix it in order to “fix” the issue he faces now. But then the time is up, the therapist just says, “I will see you next time”. Guess what? The patient uses his inner strength and resilience to keep living the difficult life he has. Will he not be able to live just because the therapy session is over? And the past relationships is still broken? It’s never about the outside world. It’s inside out. 🤟

LOL. Even the grade can get inflation nowadays….. “Harvard College passed sweeping grading reforms to curb grade inflation, capping "A" grades at 20% of enrollment plus four additional students (e.g., 24 A's in a class of 100). Additionally, the university will now use average percentile ranking rather than GPA to determine internal academic honors”.

Every time I want to check bitcoin price, I open my Nostr app instead. I think it’s a good way to distract myself with much more meaningful information. 🤟

Great talk. Nice quote: “Bitcoin is not the way you can get more money. Bitcoin IS MONEY!!

If I keep regretting I spent past 10 years contributing to fiat system, I am wasting 10 years plus the precious moment (now) in the fiat system.
