First, you must recognize that humans are polluting the planet. From garbage in the oceans, to microplastics in our bloodstreams, to species collapse due to deforestation, there are many examples of human-caused degradation to the planet.
Second, you must recognize that SOME of humanity’s damage can be mitigated or offset through technological advancements in energy production, stabilization, transmission, and distribution. Generally, these are fall under the category of climate technologies. They do not simply reduce emissions, they enhance efficiencies.

Yeah, I’m not sure.
I vaguely remember Hammurabi’s code from ancient Babylon dated at least a thousand years before Zoroastrianism came on the scene, but most of the religions at that time were polytheistic, which is what made Zoroastrianism unique. Still, I thought the archeologists discovered calendars written in Hebrew back then, too. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some lesser-known (but no less ancient) Egyptian religion that’s still worshipping a Sun God, exclusively. But, I could be wrong.

2026-03-04 07:41:46 CET

One of the things that surprised me about getting older, is how *absolute* young people are about their opinions. I mean, older I get, the LESS certain I am, about most things.
I definitely have a better understanding of what serves for me when it comes to my habits and methods (professionally), and am aware of intentional patterns of thought that are either constructive or maladaptive (personally), and I obviously have more life experience to draw from when making decisions (in both domains) but, even though I’ve collected more support for strongly held convictions, I’ve also maintained a sense of conservatism that I may not be 100% right, about most things in the world.
Does this resonate with any other mid-lifers out there? I don’t mean to sound like I’m making a “kids these days, amirite?” style of complaint. But, damn, when I see what’s expressed on social media, it makes me want to shake them and say, “You’re young. You don’t know anything, yet! Have some fucking humility.”
Of course, I’m sure I thought I knew everything when I was younger, too. I’m sure I was a pain the ass for many “grownups.” But I’m also pretty sure I wasn’t screaming in all caps at people, or crassly attacking anyone for pointing out my mistakes. I dunno. Maybe the anonymity of the Internet makes throwing tantrums through a keyboard socially acceptable, somehow — because trolling and shitposting became a fun pastime, because having an opinion (and sharing it emphatically and with 100% certainty) about literally everything became the default.
Just sayin’. The world (life, itself) is far more complex than some of these 20-somethings seem to recognize.

The fact that you refer to what he’s doing as being analogous to a “news outlet” is specifically what I’m pointing to. ACTUAL news journalism isn’t about forwarding information as fast as possible. That’s precisely the point I made, above: opinions and reactions aren’t news.
If someone reposts vile shit that someone else says, how can you trust the information they are providing. Actual journalism (even citizen journalism) is about holding one’s self to a professional standard. Does that make sense to you?

Very little is black and white when it comes to current events — or historical events. Everything is contextual, but social media has groomed a generation to produce and consume hot-takes rather than deep research which takes patience, time, and humility.
The advent of the 24-hour news cycle meant there’s always something that needs to be said about something. Content must be produced, even if it is just an opinion or an initial reaction. More often than not, these are simply wrong.
Flash is a victim of this as much as he is a perpetrator of it.
His mea culpa here isn’t to acknowledge that he’s sometimes wrong and will spend more time to do better, it’s “I don’t make the news and will continue posting whatever is BREAKING as fast as possible” and through a lens of self-importance. That’s a disservice to anyone who follows him and, in fact, diminishes the value of information.

I agree with MOST of what you are saying in this post, but feel it’s important to point out that governments *can* track your wealth if you buy on centralized exchanges — which most people do. Various politicians have been proposing a wealth tax in the US which would be easy to do with ₿ by simply comparing the amount an exchange states you purchased against the amount you report you sold on your tax return.
Further, governments are going to get creative in finding a way to tax ₿. For example, France recently proposed a new rule for what they deem “unproductive assets” in order to specifically target cryptocurrencies. I don’t if either of these will come to pass, but it shows they are making an effort.
Lastly, I should point out that this is what really bothers me when @nprofile…edre refers to bitcoin as “digital property.” We pay property taxes on property! Rather, IMHO, we should be referring to bitcoin as “digital currency,” which it is, so that it’s not taxed differently (or additionally) as we would with holding any other currency. At most, if we had to compromise we could settle on calling it a “digital commodity” if that would bring more fairness within the regulatory landscape.

One thing that intrigues me most about a publicly verifiable timechain is that it could be used it as a verification for news events. I’m not talking about clogging up the blockchain with images. Rather, if a news outlet wanted to run a story, or a famous person wanted to announce something on their own, they would publish a transaction from their publicly known wallet address.
I’m not saying this would eliminate AI slop and deepfake stories but, if enough people were using bitcoin to timestamp important statements with small transactions, any story or announcement NOT using this method would be viewed with skepticism. I’m also not saying every story or announcement needs to have an associated transaction… just really important/essential ones.
It’s crucial that journalists and public figures be able to prove something happened IRL or that they said/didn’t say something.
I can’t be the only person who has thought of this. Am I missing something @nprofile…tkdy ?

Your anti-Israel bias is obvious and without a single message against Hamas, and it has become obvious that you support their actions. That’s sickening.

That, right there, should raise alarm bells for any ETH bag holders. But it won’t. Because they don’t understand the value of a monetary network that is permissionless, censorship-resistant, and immutable (among other benefits of bitcoin’s PoW).
Also very interesting that the hosts don’t push back on Tom’s value pitch the way that frequently do with other guests that discuss bitcoin. This segment is, effectively, nothing more than a promotional advertisement for centralized control and the legacy financial system’s desperate attempt to catch up with bitcoin’s decentralized and distributed monetary revolution.

We can certainly disagree. No harm in that. However, how are you interpreting what I said as “downplaying a woman’s ability to create life”?
This is really interesting, because the clip from Michelle Obama explicitly explains how the entire reproductive system is important to a woman’s own life, throughout her life, and not *just* her ability to create a life. She’s literally saying that even if all you want is for a woman to make babies, you should take care of her entire reproductive system and general health.
Anyway, you seem to be elevating one function of a woman’s reproductive system over others. And, you know, that’s sort of EXACTLY the critical point she’s making.
A bit of unsolicited advice: you may want to think more about “what a woman’s purpose is.” If you think it’s just to create life, then you are not treating any woman as an individual person, just a functionary. I don’t know how else to put this, but that’s really sad. I hope you don’t treat your mom, sister, girlfriend/wife, or daughter as if they exist simply to serve one specific reproductive function. That’s a really poor way of interacting with the world and 50% of the people in it.
But, yeah, you do you, I guess. The proof of whether your view is correct will be revealed over the course of your life in whether women find it’s worth their time to connect with you on a deep and meaningful level.

I’m not playing, and not asking you to either. This is a discussion. Don’t diminish it.
First, admitting how little you know is great and thanks for being honest.
Please don’t take offense, but you’re somewhere between 0 and 1, on scale of 1 -10. Seriously, take that with humor and humility. There’s nothing wrong with not knowing something. The error is thinking that you can “smell bullshit” accurately in a domain you admittedly know very little about. Second, whatever you think about Michelle Obama, which I can tell is very little, let’s agree the the clip is a small sound bite of a larger conversation. The clip was presented as such PRECISELY because it is being used to trigger a response from you. You know that, right? You had the immediate *sense* that something feels off and you are calling bullshit. But, you don’t know very much about the topic and, and this is important, you don’t know what else was said prior to, or after, this statement. There might have been additional context or information that could help you. There wasn’t, so I’m going to try to do that now.
What distinguishes a woman’s body from a man’s is more than just a vagina which is just the externally visible sex organ. Other parts of the reproductive system include the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries (just to name a few that you might have heard of). Importantly, the ovaries don’t just produce eggs for pregnancy. They produce hormones during menstruation. Say a woman gets pregnant once in her life, the fact that she menstruates EVERY MONTH (between puberty and menopause) should tell you something by the simple ratio of their occurrence. A woman’s body needs these hormones for her overall health (yes, everything from her brain to her bones to her physical stamina and energy levels). The ovaries are *far more* important to a woman’s general health than her vagina, even though both are part of her reproductive system. Understanding this, take a moment to watch the video again and you’ll see that what she’s saying is that you can’t you reduce a woman’s reproductive health to *just* giving birth, and that it is, in fact, “the least important thing about the reproductive system as a whole.”
To really hammer this home, consider that some women never give birth, and yet, their reproductive system is still vital to their general health and well-being on a daily basis. Nothing about what I’ve just written is controversial. That is, unless you don’t know how a woman’s body works. Her point is that lawmakers and politicians, especially religious ones, have about as good of an understanding about women’s health as you do… which is to say, very little. This is not meant to divide us, or insult men, or put women’s needs over anyone else’s.
It’s simply a fact that if you don’t know much about a subject, you should not hold strong opinions about it, and you definitely shouldn’t be legislating on it, or even advising others on what they should do with regards to the topic.
Does this make sense?
