Last Notes npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I’d be curious about this as well. Been watching that project but haven’t installed yet. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Biological life is a dissipative structure, constantly working to achieve alignment with the cosmic flow of energy, and this truly is what life is all about. This is true both at the cellular level, and at the individual human level. Life is centered around the pursuit of that proper energy flow, that alignment with what is most efficient, that balance that optimizes the flourishing of life. This we experience as good, meaningful, and love. It is a kind of journey that involves self-realization through constant discipline and devotion. That self-realization is achieved by constantly reiterating upon our relationships, whether those relationships be with nature, with ourselves, with our family, with our friends, or society: all of which culminate in a relationship with the holy. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Hey @nprofile…3a2l , is this from a book? Where did you find this? npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco You can verify with websites like this npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Biological life is a dissipative structure, absorbing the energy of the Sun and transforming it in accordance with the laws of thermodynamics. When we hone our minds and heal our bodies, we are aligning ourselves with that cosmic flow. This is why we feel joy in doing so, and when done properly, it can lead to a holy experience. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Safest app for IOS? Mac? npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco What happened to us building great cathedrals? What happened to us devoting ourselves to something greater? npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I wish you the best and all the peace. Thanks for sharing your perspective. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I appreciate the civil discussion, but I would kindly encourage you to consider how your perspective may too be misplaced. What ends up being consensus is determined by a complex interaction between economic nodes and miners. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco With all due respect, the analysis that this “proves” all of these things is quite a strong claim. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Leaving for what? There is only one npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco This is the way npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I am confused why so many well intentioned people who were trying to help Bitcoin are now leaving to make their own coin. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Zeus is simply amazing. It works really well if you want to connect it to your own node, but they also offer a great LSP service and are developing ecash wallets. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco @nprofile…8nr9 and @nprofile…e80h ! npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Ancient societies did not build religious and spiritual systems because they lacked scientific understanding. They did so to help us remember a truth about our world that becomes harder to directly experience as our minds fill with intellectual thought and reason, the mental activities that uphold the modern world. What was once a default experience for ancient peoples, as it is for the rest of life on Earth, began to fade from memory as society advanced, so they built ritualistic practices and teachings to help bring us back to that more ancient wisdom. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco The more I learn, the more devout I become. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Embrace the sun npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I really appreciate these words. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Meditation is not simply stress reduction; it is an inquiry into the true Self. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Agamemnon is the representation of human hubris. Ten years of war had convinced him he was great: a king of kings, a conqueror of the world, and a man no mortal enemy could touch. His wife, Clytemnestra, laid purple cloth across his path into the palace, an honor owed only to gods, and he walked over it anyway, certain he had earned it. That single walk revealed the whole of his character: a mind so blinded by his ego that he had stopped checking the ground beneath it. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Why not just remove the witness discount? That would be a solution that addresses the situation at its core. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Nah man, I’m here. Bitcoin is a beautiful discovery and it will lead us to great prosperity and greater peace! npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco “We can’t see the patterns once we’re in them”. I think there is something to this. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I couldn’t agree more and it’s well put. Divide and conquer is an old strategy, and we should be wise to it. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco “If you want to see bitcoin used as money, use the damn thing as money. “. Well said! npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Took the words out of my mouth! npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Perhaps we can now explore the feasibility of a soft fork that removes the witness discount. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco We brought nature into the digital world with Bitcoin. Nature is a humbling force. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I don’t agree with this. It is important we stay humble and remember that we cannot turn back time. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco The misallocation of resources stems from the witness discount. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco This is the danger of a lot of our dialogue being held on X. It brings forth the possibility of this kind of manipulation. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco As the winds of time propel our sails forward, the cultures that endured were those that tied themselves to the mast. They knew the siren song was never a creature upon the rocks, but the pollution of the mind itself, promising truth while scattering the signal. Meditation, ritual, and sacred practice were not ornaments. They were ballast against the amnesia that follows prosperity. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao. This warning opens the foundational text of Daoism because its author understood that language corrupts the subject it tries to capture. The same understanding appears in the tetragrammaton, where the name of the divine is deliberately a placeholder, and in the Zen insistence that the Buddha nature is already present, not earned. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco The brain constructs our mental experience through predictive modeling. It does not perceive the world directly; it interprets a deluge of internal and external signals and generates a helpful fiction of what is occurring. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco PortlandHODl did some tests npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Allodial title / property rights npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Good morning! npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco "Bitcoin, beans, bibles, bovines, bullets, land, love, and family." Well said! npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Exactly, this was always a known issue, but I didn’t expect this day to come so soon. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I’ve also been wondering this. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I do the same most of the time. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Good morning! npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I couldn’t agree more, and I’m with you. I’m here to continue the discussion and to keep it alive. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Thanks for sharing this extension. I think it’s a good thing to explore. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Well, I can’t speak for everyone on the team. However, many people considered it a good idea worth giving voice to. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I’m sorry. Not really sure what you mean by that question. Could you clarify? I work for Abundant Mines as the Customer Success Lead. So I wrote it internally. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Good morning! npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco @nprofile…wf5n, I wanted to loop you in here also. I hope this article helps with the discussion. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I wrote this article when reflecting on the work of @nprofile…mfr9. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I couldn’t agree more! That is exactly how it feels. It’s shameful how we congregate there more than here, and let algorithms manipulate minds. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Just listened to “The Last Honest Market” npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Good morning! npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Good morning and well said! npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Ancient wisdom is the cure for the modern disease. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I love art! Please keep posting npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Because it’s the honorable and ethical thing to do. It’s a force for good in this world. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco This is the way npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco You honor me. Wishing you all the peace and love. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco It doesn't seem to be uniform or consistent across machine types. For the devices with the screen facing you, I usually notice that I have to ask them to let me pay with Bitcoin. There is something they have to hit on their side. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I appreciate your observation of the fractal and I agree that is certainly there. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Nothing beats buying German food (pork, mustard, and sauerkraut) with real money using @nprofile…qlzs npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco @nprofile…spn0 , I have finished reading your paper: Bitcoin - The Architecture of Time. It is truly an interesting read. There is something I would like to ask you about: npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I have had multiple conversations about this entire debate with @nprofile…5z4g, some in person. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I am not saying I am convinced by this idea, but: npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I’d argue that the removal of witness data discount would be a better solution to these problems. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Ask not what bitcoin can do for you, ask instead what can you do for Bitcoin. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco This is the way npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco This is the way npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I respect the intention and push for a better way of doing things. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Personally, I don’t think Nostr is the appropriate domain to discuss code. Especially in the communal way which would be appropriate here. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco If you want to seek community work, my recommendation would be to create a GitHub repo that was public for people to contribute to. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Where can we view revisions? npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I have read this. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Yup, this is the way npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I wish I could contribute through more than thought and dialogue, but my coding skills are not adequate enough to write a BIP. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Who will draft a BIP? When the events of August and September occur, I feel it will be Important for people to start to be aware of this idea. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco We wouldn't even need to remove witness data to resolve much of this issue right? As long as we removed the sats subsidy on witness data, the free market would begin to price data fairly. That way, we could keep functionality for lighting while maintaining conservation. Agree or disagree? npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Don’t get mad at nature for just breathing npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I am excited to announce that my book, The Ancient Way of the Mind: How Modern Thinking Blinds Us from the Wisdom of the Past, is now available on @nprofile…tdf8 marketplace. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I really appreciate your values and I couldn’t agree more. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I appreciate the sentiment. Even if BIP-110 succeeds though, it is temporary. I think it is time we all start focusing on what a permanent solution might look like. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Technology is opening two paths for each individual to choose. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Hey Ralph, npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco True indeed. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco My tech stack today: @nprofile…zfq2 @nprofile…3shn @nprofile…xmmy npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco On this 4th of July: npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I’m not seeing any confirmation on this either. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco What makes you say that? npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Economic “filters” would help reduce arbitrary data without arbitrary rules. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I think it’s important to remember that most of us are all well intentioned. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco This is the way npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Very interesting.. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I also agree. May he find the light. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I often think that much of this BIP-110 conversation is already being manipulated by means such as this. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Sometimes I feel like we as a community need to build a university. Not strictly for students, but so scientists can get together and move science along. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Well said. The good fight lives on. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco I’m starting to think the answer is we price all bits equally and stop having a sat discount for witness data. npub1249tdlkkwkv966uek7dd0duyl7x2ffdsyaugztsedrhwp3ktcflq66ys0r brightmindsco Ha, what an enjoyable conversation!
