If you don’t build your cognition, someone else will.
Today I'll be commemorating Newfoundland Memorial Day instead of Canada Day. It’s the 110th anniversary of Beaumont-Hamel in the battle of Somme. The Royal Newfoundland Regiment had roughly 800 men sent to the frontline by British command on July 1,1916. Only 68 made roll call the next day. Newfoundland went into a fuck ton of debt to help the British during the war, and that debt would later be leveraged against us when the British and Canadian governments conspired to sell us into Canadian confederation. There's a Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland memorial site in France, and pictured here is the War Memorial in St. John's, Newfoundland. #freenewfoundland #newfoundland
I'm now at the age where I think something happened like 3 years ago and it turns out to be 15.
I have not lived in Newfoundland for decades at this point and I completely forgot that summer does not start until July. Still love this place though. image
If you quote post “probably nothing” about some suits buying bitcoin there’s a high likelihood that you are “probably retarded”.
The perennial paradox of my urge to be the most paranoid, opsec minded, anonymous bitcoiner, contrasted by my urge to spend Bitcoin everywhere that accepts it and therefore publicly identify myself.
Canada is a country with beautiful, vast wilderness and nature, from coast to coast. But most people who live in Canada live in cities and so their reality is gross dirt coloured snowbanks and being overwhelmed by reckless immigration. Elbows up.
I remember 20+ years ago I had a Vice magazine “subscription” (a local magazine stand would hold a free copy for me). I looked forward to it each month. It was edgy and subversive, and then it wasn’t. I wasn’t here for the early days of Bitcoin Magazine, but from seeing back issues, it seems like this is the pretty good parallel. If you’re subversive, you’ll eventually be offered a seat at the institutional table to keep you in check. Humans have yet to find an antidote to comprising their values over flattery and more “power”.
Do not underestimate the effectiveness of a good shadow boxing home routine for cardio.
Currently reading The Undiscovered Self by Carl Jung, and it reads almost like a libertarian text in many ways, to me anyway. The focus on individual sovereignty and the avoidance of becoming simply part of the mass.
The infantile dream-state of the mass man is so unrealistic that he never thinks to ask who is paying for this paradise. -Carl Jung image
I think people are slowly, but surely, realizing that defi and crypto are fake and ghey.
