Last Notes npub1720smlx8vard5njystyrcvg5yfgzmskj2u8eczqyd4pk6et00euqv3ceam T-Halo Way to many questions and no way to answer them.

It ain't described as artificial because we couldn't think of another word. That said, God is in everything...even plastic. But who here understands that plastic...and everything...has no more substance than a dream?

It is indeed 'logical'. But humans will soon realize (if they haven't already) that while logic is easily replicated, real human qualities such as compassion, empathy, and moral intuition cannot be. npub1720smlx8vard5njystyrcvg5yfgzmskj2u8eczqyd4pk6et00euqv3ceam T-Halo Thank you!

From the ever more apparent wisdom of J. Krishnamurti "A nation which maintains an army must be destructive of its own citizens. Please listen to all this.

Just watching a 1950's movie featuring Jimmy Stewart. The character has a chance to win $24,000. His friend says, "If you win, you'll never have to work another day in your life."

Grateful to those working on it to make it better; maybe someday it'll meet the idealistic gleam in our eyes. For now, I can't help but be disappointed. If I wanted to post into a daily void, I'd have stuck with the usual channels. npub1720smlx8vard5njystyrcvg5yfgzmskj2u8eczqyd4pk6et00euqv3ceam T-Halo Because a birth certificate, drivers license, and passport aren't quite enough. npub1720smlx8vard5njystyrcvg5yfgzmskj2u8eczqyd4pk6et00euqv3ceam T-Halo #GM Nostr. I've been here a couple of weeks. It's sssllloooooo going. I've tried getting some friends onboard. No luck. Family has no interest. I get it. Not everybody wants to spend time on social media or switch from already entrenched habits. I'm here for the freedom, because I want to contribute to parallel structures, and to escape the toxicity of other platforms. I do have to say though that the "permanence" of posts here is a double-edged sword given the persecutions taking place. It's not like you can delete something that becomes dangerous to one's person. I think a delete functionality is essential. npub1720smlx8vard5njystyrcvg5yfgzmskj2u8eczqyd4pk6et00euqv3ceam T-Halo LOL...what can you get for 100 in an emergency.

Thanks for making me feel less invisible. npub1720smlx8vard5njystyrcvg5yfgzmskj2u8eczqyd4pk6et00euqv3ceam T-Halo #GM Nostr. Time to write a song along the lines of 'two sides of the same coin' 'cuz all I'm seeing is a whole lot of irrationality and hypocrisy everywhere. npub1720smlx8vard5njystyrcvg5yfgzmskj2u8eczqyd4pk6et00euqv3ceam T-Halo “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate...Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” ~Martin Luther King Jr. npub1720smlx8vard5njystyrcvg5yfgzmskj2u8eczqyd4pk6et00euqv3ceam T-Halo #GM Nostr. The world is in dire need of the song that only your soul can sing. Are you singing your soul song or regurgitating opinion and insult? Are you "us and them" ing or uniting? Are you feeding on the drama or rooting into sanity? npub1720smlx8vard5njystyrcvg5yfgzmskj2u8eczqyd4pk6et00euqv3ceam T-Halo "Is offending others a necessary part of free speech?" I have to argue the underlying premise. Being "offended" is not the inherent responsibility of the speaker. Rather, it rests solely in the lap of the offended.
