I feel like I just Aristotled or SEK3'd this shit: Lysander Spooner identified: Knaves (I like to call these Goblins); Dupes (often called Useful Idiots); Do-nothings (Cowards) I posit the mirror of these specimens which sustain freedom, the virtuous version: Clear & Obvious Tyrants (Robbers); Employees (Non-Statist Normies); Entrepreneurs (ancap memelords, rational plebs, good business owners, everyday people who have integrity and also spot efficiencies and opportunities for growth really well and pursue them)

Something about sensitive people, they tend to spot opportunities that others miss. There's another word for that: entrepreneur, or investor (good investor at least). In a free market, entrepreneurs and investors worth their bitcoin spot opportunities and exploit them, bringing in efficiency gains, long term resource abundance, and valued things that people like, while employees buy time and energy and things from the entrepreneurs, who in turn also benefit from the labor and monetary signals. In this free market, everyone is to varying extents a member of both classes. Entrepreneurs are also consumers and also borrow resources off of their collateral too, and contract with other entrepreneurs, as we know. I can see myself being an entrepreneur and investor foremost, but also doing contract work and employee work in a small capacity. This mix is what my life is rapidly becoming, thankfully. As a sensitive person trained at and enamored with picking up on details, optimizing things, and understanding stuff on a deeper level, I notice things like this. It is the part I play in ushering in the cypherpunk-led anarchy of tomorrow, and honing these skills today while I provide value in small ways to the people in my family and the market around me.

The freedom of your society in many ways will be dependent on the strength and sway of the virtuous versions vs the perverted versions. When ancaps are cowards, we tend to lose ground. When goblins are exposed as clear and obvious tyrants, we tend to win ground. When normies have bitcoiner friends as trusted ecash mints or have them around to provide a helping hand with stuff because of all the free time they have with all that bitcoin they own, we win ground lol
