Every baby is born a bundle of pure emotion. Instead of learning how to channel these emotions to become a healthy adult, we are taught - by parents, grandparents, circumstances, school, society, modern life ... - to suppress them rather than recognise, feel and channel them in a healthy way. When my emotions control me, rather than me being aware of and channelling them, I can not be my best self. If we as a society can achieve this ability, humanity will reach new heights. We will have nothing to fear from AI. It is our emotions that make us human. We just need to learn to embrace them. Feel them. Channel them. What an awesome time to be alive.

When women don't acknowledge and protect the sacred feminine, society degenerates. When women are in their feminine, men can be in their masculine. The devine feminine is the key to transformation.

Even our music has been taken over by porn. How did we go from 'I wanna hold your hand' to 'I wanna fuck you' in such a short space of time? Words matter.

Bitcoin is not 'the' solution, but it is a valuable tool to help me find a way to reach my personal idea of freedom. Holding Bitcoin without simultaneously striving towards my definition of sovereignty/freedom would be just owning an asset.

The one who tries to take what is mine is the criminal. Lest we forget.

History doesn't look kindly on those who follow stupid rules.

Who are these arrogant 'ruling' sods who think they know better than I do what is best for my family and me? Even I don't know what's best for my family and me! But at least my trial and error approach is done with infinite love and pure intentions.

A sick society is one that measures your success by what you have on your bank account.

While I agree that we have become hopelessly distracted, I would question whether there was/is a master plan for mass manipulation, or whether it is man's unfortunate preference for convenience over privacy that has got us where we are today. No one forced us to buy a laptop or a smart phone. We raced to be the first in line at the Apple store for the launch of each new model. No one mandated we use social media - the widespread human need for constant validation, the common fear of stillness and dopamine addiction soon had us joining multiple platforms and checking our devices hundreds of times a day. Sure the companies profited by making tech, foods, pharma as addictive as possible. Our society is driven by money. The bottom line is what matters. Making your consumers addicted to your products and services improves your bottom line. I have recently moved from apple to graphene OS and am constantly reminded of the balance between convenience and privacy. It's easy to blame others for our problems. It's more effective and powerful to look in the mirror for solutions.

Every online booking we make is a missed opportunity for a small human connection. Every online purchase. Every self-service checkout. Every meat purchase from the supermarket and not over the counter at the butcher. Every googlemap search rather than asking a local. Every train journey with our nose in our phone rather than striking up a conversation with the guy opposite. Every card-tap rather than paying the fare to the bus driver. Each of these missed opportunities for a small human connection may seem trivial. But they add up. Some of these small human connections could have turned in to insightful, moving, even profound conversations with a stranger. Some of these strangers may have become friends. How many humans now go through their day with no/next to no human to human interactions? The less you interact with your fellow humans, the less you are able to. The less you think you want to. While your soul slowly dies inside. Not every development for convenience sake is a win for humankind. In fact. Quite the opposite.

The Magna Carta. Written in 1215 by a bunch of barons pissed off by the heavy taxation by King John. Who forced the King to ratify it through threat of civil war. Arguably the most powerful document ever written. Whose influence is still found in many national constitutions today. The Bitcoin White Paper Written in 2008 by one or more cypher punks, pissed off by fiat money and the slow but steady erosion of individual privacy. Ratified by node runners the world over. Arguably the most powerful document ever written. Whose influence will be felt for centuries to come. Unless we fuck it up - by not understanding that we are all sovereign individuals first and foremost; - by not understanding that freedom/privacy trumps convenience; - by not understanding that there is no 'they' - unless we choose to relinquish our sovereignty to another human-being; - by being complacent. If we act accordingly, humanity can achieve the next level of civilsation. We live in the digital age so the journey to sovereignty starts with digital sovereignty. One step at a time. We've got this.
