It would certainly be difficult to believe that material things are what make you important and also not be a fairly empty and self loathing sort of person.

I know multiple people who are black (from the US south, from the Caribbean, from African nations), I know Persians, and I know Arabs who are all almost certainly smarter than you are. I think human beings all have brains that are much larger than we need to survive. The main problem is that most are running the wrong software.
Two of the smartest people in the world are Marilyn vos Savant & Christopher Langan. Marilyn is fairly libertarian, Langan is a crazy authoritarian. Marilyn was raised in a household with hard working parents who gave her a great deal of freedom, Langan was raised by abusive acholholics.
None of that is to suggest that genetics plays no role, but the brain behaves like a muscle. People become stupid to the degree that they refuse to think. I know people who were less intellignet in school who are smarter now & I know people who were very intelligent growing up and who, for whatever reason, seem to have just stopped learning & thinking in a serious way.
If you are raised in a family where self control & rational thought are scarce then brain building is much harder. Similarly if you are raised in a family that eats garbage then you are much more likely to end up with diabetes.
And this is not a baseless aversion to racism. I think it is smart to be extra cautious when dealing with Haitians, Indians, Somalis, and any purple haired or septum pierced person too. But I also know exceptions to at least a couple of those. I am sure there are other races or nationalities or fashion signals that it might be smart to be cautious of too. My position is a recognition that collectivist assumptions, & particularly fixed genetic arguments, are often more blinding & destructive to understanding than any sort of irrational religious belief ever could be.
Those who think they have found an answer in genetics tend to deal with people in predetermined ways. This prevents connections that might challenge said assumtions & weaponizes confirmation bias against all other explanations. I do not think there is much good that can come from collectivist thinking in any form. It all generally leads to bullshit & bad outcomes.

2026-03-04 17:41:41 CET

Socialists, collectivists, & "woke" people in all forms are obsessed with status & power. They are dishonest, back stabbing, & simply cannot be trusted, almost without exception.
The focus on race & social status is basically antithetical to prioritizing truth & merit.
There can be no tolerance of this delusional bullshit if we want any system to survive.

There are actually free state project(s), special economic zones, sea steading, & other efforts, as well as bitcoin & other p2p projects that are meant to promote freedom & route around govts without imposing costs on anyone. There are arguably more of such things today than at any other time in history.

2026-03-03 18:46:16 CET

If socialists really thought their ideas would produce a superior outcome for everyone, they would form their own communities & cooperatives (which are perfectly legal in most of the developed world) and they would use their success to attract new participants.
But what they really want is to steal from & enslave people who want nothing to do with their ideas. And they are generally such horrible people, on an individual level, that they often attempt to ruin the lives of anyone who disagrees with them, which is pretty consistent with the desire to enslave others in the first place.

But the devs (& people supporting their top down changes) are mad that a significant portion of the network is choosing a competitive client that keeps the user controls... If this is an open network where users get to choose direction, why all the hate?

True, but the people engaged in all the monetary debasement are importing criminals from the 3rd world & subsidizing them with the money they print. So it's a little of both.

If you have become weak to the point that your mobility has become limited, then you can take pain killers (which will only make the underlying problems worse) or you can work to restore your strength. The work is likely to involve even more pain before things get better.
The same is true in most other areas as well. There are no easy political solutions & telling people the truth about the situation is very likely to make them mad. No one is coming to save you.

We cannot keep it open & censorship resistent if devs decide the rules in a top down fashion & remove decentralized ways for nodes to set policy. All while openly communicating hostility toward a major portion of the user base.

I am not really in favor of bip110, I prefer the progress that was being made with filters & Knots & DATUM. But most of the OG bitcoiners I know are opposed to spam. It's actually ONLY people prominent enough to have been captured in some form or fashion that seem to be suddenly in support of spam & they only seem to make stupid arguments from authority & try to censor people who disagree with them.

It's my node, I don't have to relay garbage & I don't have to include it in blocks that I mine. I also don't have to update to code that invites more of what I don't want or that prevents me from trying to exclude it.

Adoption occurs in steps. Store of value is first. Most people have to want a thing before it can become a means of exchange because people don't exchange for things they don't want. Then once everyone trades with it, it can become a unit of account.

Propagating garbage all over the network in a way that prevents people from actually using a monetary network to send money is not the path to smaller blocks that any sane person should support.

2026-02-17 02:41:30 CET

The only consistent people in #bitcoin are the people who have been trying to keep node operation as light as possible & limit data costs so that the network will remain decentralized & censorship proof.
They were demonized as "small blockers" during the blocksize war & they are demonized for being pro filter "knotzies" now, but they are right.

Okay #bitcoin & #nostr people, I need to know about #bitcoinbeach #elzonte #elsalvador etc. Who is there? Who has visited? All opinions (good & bad) are welcome.
We are done with the cold, done with Canada, & I am personally not a big city person. Ideally, we would like to be able to walk on the beach every morning.
Other plans have fallen through, so how difficult is it to make a life in El Salvador? What are the positives & the negatives? How hard is it to get a car? How hard is it to travel between El Zonte & San Salvador? What is the cost & availability of quality meat & eggs, & other basic goods?
Spanish is definitely not among our strengths, but we have tools for translation on phones (locally run) & we have no problem learning.
I will need tools... How hard is it to order something like a 3d printer? Printer filament? Is it possible to get Harbor Freight like hand tools? Are there any decent hardware stores in and around El Zonte &/or San Salvador? Is there anyone here working on shipping things into El Salvador?
Further, we would also like to start a family, what difficulties can we expect on that front? All info is much appreciated 🙏

Being opposed to openly encouraging & facilitating the storage of more garbage is the only reasonable position.
I am not a religious fruitcake. Would you like to have a conversation with me or just attack your strawman?

Oh the insanity of people signaling that they don't want their nodes on a cypherpunk monetary network to be used to store infinite amounts of garbage...

Knowing who is in the fight for freedom & who is an enemy of freedom is pretty simple.
The people who want to make it easier for everyone to mine & to run nodes that audit & record & verify everything in a completely trustless manner are for freedom. The people who want to make it more costly to do those things are enemies of freedom.
It doesn't matter if Satoshi Adam Gregory Szabo Nakamoto Christ says that we should facilitate spamming the network & storing BS on the chain, he's wrong. Node runners should be free to decide what they relay & what they reject.

Why would the guy working for the Jewish supremacist Moloch worshipping billionaires, who the inbred pedo Rothchild family introduced to people, the guy the other sexual predator billionaires all made into a billionaire, be a separate deal?! His girlfriend's dad was like the top spy for these bottom dwellers. Epstein had chairs & other furniture on the island made of horns & hoves & other animal parts that were about as clear an indication of satan worship as it gets. He had the painting of Bush knocking down the towers which was carried out by the Molock worshippers. He was like best friends with Ehud Barak, the previous head of the State of Molock. It could not be more obvious that this is all the same thing & our govt is completely tied into all of it.
Idk what it is that you are trying to avoid by pretending that Epstein isn't part of this whole pedo cabal, maybe you just don't want Nick to be one of the bad guys, or you're afraid Trump is implicated, but let go of it dude. They are all human garbage, Trump & Nick too.

Well, I think pizzagate and all the rest involve all the same people. There are videos of children climbing out of the palace windows & who was Epstein's best customer? Prince Andrew. The Talmudic Jewish supremacists believe it's perfectly acceptable to rape non-jewish children & enslave non-jews. The French pres was raped by his teacher at 14. Candace has covered a bunch of US military & intelligence agency ties to orphanages and people with actual past child sexual abuse convinctions. I think exposing Epstein brings down the whole govt because truly horrible pedos have been promoted to key positions of power all over the place.

Yeah, this is absolutely an effort to cover for people who knew exactly what they were doing. Epstein's plane was openly called the Lolita express. These people are not cool. They are extremely creepy.
When Sacha Baron Cohen tried to prank some US politicians Ron Paul reacted as any normal person would. Gingrich made it clear that he was a creep.
Someone implying it's not "cool" for completely grown & married people to reject the most vapid & high time preference behaviors possible is either being paid to run cover for said people, or is an idiot. I have seen enough that I don't think he is an idiot. He's just an empty piece of shit like the people he is covering for.

I think there is a distinction to be made between an ethic group that believes they can kill and enslave all outsiders like the average Zionist, vs say the Japanese or the Amish or any other group with a strong culture that simply wants to peacefully exist & trade with others.

Assessment & judgement involve fitting things into mental pathways we already have. Observation requires making mental space for a greater amount of detail which may not readily connect to anything.

Trump is protecting pedos & covid criminals & funding a socialist ethnostate that is bombing children. He does not care about the freedom of Venezuelans. Maybe (we can hope for their sake) the chains imposed by the US will be lighter, but Trump wants the average person in the US to be a slave & he wants the people of other countries to remain slaves too. He just wants all slaves to serve the cabal he belongs to instead of their competition.

In this apartment in Montreal the washer will run all the way through with no problems IF the lights in the apartment are on. If the lights are off, the washer will flip its breaker. The lights & washer are not on the same breaker.
I have built houses & am familiar with residential wiring. I cannot fathom how this is possible. I did not believe it until I saw it repeated consistently many times. Part of me still doesn't fully believe it because it makes no sense to me. But maybe there is something wildly different about commercial wiring?

Living the truth is a narrow path, because reality has a specific shape & we can only deviate so much without serious consequences. But there are an infinite number of ways to live a lie & destroy yourself & others.

I'm not sure of what use it is to believe in "a divine play of illusion" or how you even define such a thing. But you cannot build cars & airplanes & skyscrapers in a subjective world. Again, our inability to perfectly determine every detail of our objective reality doesn't make it any less objective.
I do agree that the divide between perspectives is a primary source of social conflict, & people could be divided & both be equally wrong, but the feelings of helplessness & anxiousness when it comes to interacting with the world is a good sign that you are wrong.

Emotions are a natural part of the human experience. But "feeling like a woman" is not a real thing. It's a delusion.
If feelings do not align with reality (if someone is deathly afraid of clowns or elevators or something) it is their responsibility to align their feelings with reality.
There is an objective reality. No person has the ability to tell perfectly what is objectively true, but we can generally tell what is closer or farther from the truth given some time.
The people who cling to delusions tend to feel increasingly anxious, more easily triggered, & more powerless. The amount of truth or reality they need to avoid to maintain their delusions tends to grow with time.
People who are aligned with reality tend to feel more relaxed & efficatious with time.

Oddly I think a lot of lefty women would actually be happier if things were that way.

2025-10-21 17:57:14 CEST

We should not expect people who prioritize feelings over reality to have the capacity to be honest. If a person considers themselves a woman because they "feel" that way, despite having a dick, then they cannot even be honest with themselves. Their definition of "honest" is literally based on arbitrary whims, so when things do not go their way they will "honestly" tell you that they feel like it is the fault of anyone but themselves. When caught in a lie they will again ramble on about their feelings. They are not interested in objective reality.

Libertine ideas are worse than statism in some forms, in the same way that strong angels, once fallen, make the most fierce demons.
