If your answer to everything bad in the world is “It is Israel’s fault” then there is a significant chance I will have penciled you in as retarded.

Last Notes npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid IRGC props up terrorist proxies, is the number 1 financier of global terror groups, kills its own citizens, hold its own neighbours hostage, and openly calls for genocide via its proxies - by…. wait for it…. dropping bombs on civilians as a strategy. Not a consequence of war, but an open strategy. And you are out here criticising action against that? Seriously? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I would agree ( not being a lawyer as a caveat ) that the IRGC has genocidal intent, but I wouldn’t agree with listing the US or Israel as such. Just by definition I don't think it is genocide. The problem I do have with these discussions where one is accused of using propaganda, is that more often than not, we see the language of propaganda from the other side leaking into discussions. I think it is time we all took the time out to ask “why do I think what I think in this subject?” or “Where did that conclusion come from?" npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Yes!! Morality is made up!! We enforce it on each other. I know it is uncomfortable, and you need there to be more, but I promise you, thinking I don't recognise how fragile that is for humanty is not lost on me. That somehow if you point out it is all circular or something I am suddenly going to say “shit, you’re right, that is fragile and circular, that must mean it comes from God” then you are mistaken. I accept it despite it’s fragility. We are human dude. to me, nothing more, nothing less. We can treat each other as we would like to be treated, how we would want our kids to be treated, and place obligation on others to follow those obligations, but I do not accept something higher tells me those behaviours. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid We put the obligation on each other!! Jeepers dude. You are now wilfully ignoring the obvious. You can claim god exists, you can claim Jesus is th son of God, what you cannot claim is my morality comes from God. It’s nonsense. I’m not allowed to covet thy neighbour’s wife, but I am allowed to covet his kids. lol. The truth is we now know it is degeneracy, because we have evloved to know how harful it is. Not because of God. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid You’re doing Andrew Wilson again. Yes, morality is something we make up. You don’t like that. It’s uncomfortable for you. It’s still made up by man. I will ask here again as per below. If God decided he didn’t need to say not to covet kids because doing so goes against his image anyway ( or whatever you said ) then why the need to say not to covet the wife? Why need to list houses, servants and donkeys? Would coveting those things not also be against his image anyway? Why the need to list everything men of the time cared about, but not the kids? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid "And you’re still not answering the question. Why does evolved disgust obligate anyone.” it doesn’t!! That’s my whole point. We decide it is wrong, because we evolved as a society to recognise the degenracy. As we understood the impact it has on kids, we decided it was wrong BECAUSE we understood, not because God says lol. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Dude - I asked you to prove my next point, not because I am reaching fo higher authority. lol. Paragraph one is nonsense. No father today celebrates his child marrying and having sexual relations with a grown man. Morality evolved to view it as wrong. We became more understanding of our actions of others, not because it was ordained from somewhere else. None of this is me saying your God doesn’t exist. I have no idea. But I do know my morality does not come from God itself. Which commandment from God says not to have sex with kids? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Are you telling me the fathers and family of said 6yr old girls celebrated the ‘union’ with a man, despite inside being disgusted by it? I do not know which God you worship or follow. Does your God tell you it is wrong? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid It shifts with time, of course. Today my conditioning makes me see sex with a child as wrong. Historically it wasn’t always the case. What’s so difficult to see about that? Did God suddenly decide it was wrong? Did God suddenly make us disgusted with the practice? Was it historically immoral, yet God just didn’t tell us? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The slave owners were wrong because we as people recognise using empathy that the suffering and loss of autonomy is undesirable for any human being. I know it is hard to wrap your head around, but that is how it works for me and anyone non-religious. That’s reality. Take sex with a child as an exmple. Why does it disgust you? Because God says so? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I hear that from Andrew Wilson too. The thing I always think is that is the real world. That’s why morality shifts with time. What was moral historically no longer is today. We decide through open discourse, debate, and social interaction what it is we deem ‘wrong’ etc. It’s messy, but it is the real world for anyone non religious. ( I’d argue for some of the religious too. ) When I say murder is immoral for example, I’m not claiming a stance from God. I’m saying ‘people’ that have overlap with the same morality as me see it as immoral, and ‘hopefully’ those views are reflected in laws of the land. Nothing more, nothing less. For me, having an objective morality would be better, sure, but there isn't one IMO. This is the next best thing. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Sounds just like politics 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Here is the problem you will bump into when debating - your position is man misinterprets and perverts the text. People you debate that have no religion will merely say man also wrote the text you live by. Your view would be one text is true, and has one interpretation where all else is wrong. Others would say it’s all wrong, so the resolution comes down to faith. You either have it or you don’t, and the more you need said faith, the more likely you are to find faith. When you bump into that problem, nothing is resolved. One person has faith, the other does not. Maybe in my darkest hours of despair I suddenly find it, maybe not - I will not know until the day arrives ( if ever. ) If it does arrive, I would be as convinced as you, I am sure. Questioning why that hasn’t arrived for me is a road to nowhere, the truth is only “because it hasn’t” npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid ‘some’ religions, and some people are not tolerant, sure. I tried to caveat that in the post. It can be true that some people think their religion justifies heinous acts, or that a few lines of text turn what most would consider immoral, to moral. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Indeed. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid This is why I don’t ever try to convince someone or debate them on their religion now. It took me a long time, but I can see it here too - some people need it. That’s cool. The truth is that it is far better for most people to hold the belief that there is a higher authority that gives them their morality to follow ( as long as it is peaceful and tolerant. ) Religion in the right context can give clarity where there is none, it can give meaning and purpose, and as long as that has boundaries when it comes to others that don’t buy in, then it is a net positive IMO. Go for it my dude. Sincerely. Be a good Christian, and live by example. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The hard truth is that the very thing bitcoiners used to present as a net plus ( network effects ) is the very thing working against NOSTR in general. So yes, it needs to offer something ‘special’ but history must be littered with ‘better’ products that failed for other reasons. This is a niche corner and will remain so until it ‘has’ to be more. That’s my hard truth. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Agitation isn't the word I would choose to describe my state. Disgust is far closer. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Just be honest. You know absolutely nothing about the middle east, and have done zero ‘reasoning’ other than copy what your circle jerk has said. I’d have a little more respect for you if you did. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid But I do know you. The sheep thinking he looks cool hanging around the bully. You’ve done zero ‘reasoning from premise’ other than “Internet says Jew bad - insult Jew" The irony is you accuse others of 'pompous gradiosity' npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Came here to say exactly this. It's just a mistake interpreting it as converting 95% to electricity. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Awesome song. nice post, dude 🫡 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Congrats dude. Been with my wife for 19 years, this year. Not married for anywhere near as long though. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid China I think is what happens when you become insular. They turned inward and ended up being left behind. Now hyper focused on becoming dominant again. Personally, I think the concept to focus on is a feeling of inferiority. The greater your history, the harder it is to accept others overtaking you. It explains far more for me. You need space to self reflect ( on a cultural level ) and the less space and time you have to do that, the more predisposed you are to go full retard. ( See IRGC as a prime example of that. ) npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid “This is not much of a mystery, easily viewed in retrospect. It’s all about creating a story about a phantom problem to gain public belief and support, only to provide a “plausible” remedy worse than the disease.” Ah. Like blaming Jews for everything? Got it. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I don’t think you understood what I wrote, at all. Have another go. You can do it. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The reason they shouldn’t have nukes is obvious to anyone with half a brain. You are so drunk on hate that you don’t know which way is up. Iran is the number one state sponsor of terror, and through its proxies targets civilians intentionally - not as a consequence of conflict, but as a strategy. You think they wouldn’t succumb to their inferiority complex and use it? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Longtime firm believer that bitcoin will not be money until it needs to be. Along the way there will be those that do not see, or seek to use it for fiat gains. It is what t is broski. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I will not convert, and I will not pay a Jizya. Those that insist I do will never be under the same banner as me. It’s time for you to do some honest soul searching and see the views you hold and espouse are sewing the very division you claim to be against in this post. you cannot be united under a banner of intolerance. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The darkest scenario for me is more that the people who think they control it to control everyone else, ultimately find out they are also being controlled by AI 😂 When i am a pet or curiosity, I hope my master is benevolent 😬 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid 🎵 “Purple rain, purrrple rain” 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Which reality am I denying? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Alby hub always logs me out. I gave up on it.😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid And that is the root of the problem. Either an inability or lack of will ( probably a combination of both ) to do anything about it, but complaining when someone else does. The lack of comprehension of the history I see, and lack of ability to look objectively doesn’t give me much hope either. If I see one more person call Israel the aggressor or colonising force, I’m going to check into a hospital - they are literally a slither of land surrounded by 400m Arabic speakers that colonised the countries they now control, and kicked the Jews out of! 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Looks like you picked the same two words and me at the end there, too 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Wordle 1,771 5/6 ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨 ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟩 🟩🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I want my forked coins to dump 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Udi? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Now do the reverse - for intellectual honesty. State what the Iranian game plan has been, and list the failures and successes. I swear, some of you are so lost in weeds, it’s cringe to see. Bitcoiners used to be smart. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid 4d cHEsS npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid You’re right. It is Sardonic. I’m retarded 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Sardinic Smile: A term derived from the deadly plant, Hemlock Water Dropwort. In ancient Sardinia, they would incapacitate the elderly people in society as they became a burden on the community. The plant would be ingested by said elderly person, and once the muscles seized up preventing them from resisting, ( and giving them an eerie grin ) they would be thrown from a hight to kill them. We may be asking ourselves why family or ‘people’ didn't protest and prevent the grisly ending, but perhaps it was justified with words like ‘burden’ and perhaps it was seen as a ‘virtuous’ way to go. Perhaps the elderly felt like they were freeing their community from burden? Either way, it makes me ponder the weird mental gymnastics we perform as people to justify intentional killing of another human, while simultaneously being outraged when another is killed unintentionally. Fast forward a a bit, and here we are, with ‘abortion’ and 'assisted dying’ being excused readily, and getting outraged when prompted by the algos. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Dumb question alert - AI agents on a laptop make remote connections to servers somewhere, or they literally run entirely on a laptop? I thought they needed high spec hardware? Am I dumb dumb? 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid A state is a social organisation. I would prefer you to stop pretending it isn’t. I would also prefer you to look at history. Just look at it. Every country in existence was formed by the people in it, or, by another organised group installing one over an area - sometimes including the people, sometimes by killing them or ousting them. There are zero examples of any consequence - if there are any at all - where people have flourished without one. You can call it whatever you want, you can re-iterate as many times as you like. There is a reality, and there is a utopia where everyone shares ideologies and incentives and respects personal boundaries. Much like when the Commies tell me how I just don’t understand how to do it right, so to am I sat here now having to listen to you ignore millennia of evidence that contradicts everything you say could work. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid You capture the land and impose your will on them. Like the entirety of history. You don’t capture the state, dude. You capture the territory. There are so many examples of this happening historically, It boggles my mind how people ignore that. Look at the middle east today. A state power attacking Israel, and we think they could fight back if they had no state? Even the Islamic nuts recognise state power is the only way to enforce will. I re-affirm here - states are a necessary evil, even if you think it is only because other people will form a state. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Kind of agree here. As soon as you accept taxes are needed to one degree or another, it is only a matter of where you draw the line. That’s the real world. The other bit ‘anti state’ people miss, is that if you have no state, another will come in and control you - they will fill the vacuum. This is literally the history of the world - weak state or no state resulted in being colonised. States are at worst a necessary ‘evil’ and the only question for me is which format of state I would rather live in. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid You can just do things? 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I don't know why ‘progressive’ politicians seem totally unable to see that the world as we have known it ( free trade on the open seas ) is looking increasingly fragile as time goes on. In that scenario, you want to produce as much as you can at home, or at least very close to the home country. Just from a very basic national security perspective, defending a food supply should be right up there as a priority. To hear the words “we import 80% of our food” without being accompanied by “so we need to decrease that by producing more at home” boggles my mind. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The more I see people use the phrase ‘awake’ or ‘based’ the more convinced I become that they are the very people that cannot see the wood for the trees. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The first one I grab, gets used for everything. 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid No thanks. I will keep my 1980’s transport, with no ECU, and no software built into it that ‘lets’ me lease a feature the car already has, and I can fix myself without having to take it back to the dealership for servicing and repairs. Our company car is a hybrid. it sucks balls. For short journeys EV is cool, but long distance ( at least here ) it costs more per mile to charge on public charging stations than it does to run on petrol 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Sometimes I think the world has been flipped 180 degrees. These very people will consider themselves at the very peak of the ‘humanity scale’ and not even recognise they display dehumanising traits in opinions like that. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I have a question. If you don’t know how the phases of the moon are formed, yet confidently state in a post above that the 'Matrix has you’ - is it possible that it is you stuck in a matrix? Maybe all this time the matrix has you. Stuck perpetually going in circles. ( Excuse the pun ) npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Socialism in its purest form is state controlling the means of production, right? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid My bad on profits. The problem with these conversations is the term ‘socialism’ in its purest form has no cooperatives, so I assume you don't mean that? If you go pure socialism, it fails catastrophically. If you do mean pure socialism, I am happy to talk through how you think that has made any countries better off? Let’s stat with definitions. Define: "Pure capitalism" Define what you mean exactly by the word “Socialism." npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Congrats, FartFace!! npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid 18 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid That, we can agree on 😉 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I view this as bigger than trade. The future will be about ideology IMO. You have a radically driven ideology in one region, intent on domination, and it will need to be addressed. Diplomacy only works if both sides want peace. You can see that much in the middle east now. Having said that, and to your point, don't you think we already trade with each other now? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid We will be aligned again through necessity ( IMO ) Look at the world. Most of it couldn’t care any less about international law, morality, or ‘fairness’ All of that are things we hold each other to, and make allowances for those not ‘developed enough’ to be ‘one of us’ There has been a lot of pompous vanity in Europe and the west in general for a long time, and it was always going to end. Eventually we will find our way through it and realign with those with the closest values ( where there is at least overlap of said values. ) Just as I knew we would eventually recognise the migration issues, and energy issues, so too will we recognise the rules we play by only work if all players follow said rules. We are past that now. The sooner we course correct, the easier it will be, but either way, we will get there. ( Again, IMO ) npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Wait… I thought it was only gay if you were the one receiving the man-love, and giver was still straight? 😬 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Much of it is self inflicted on ourselves. The US piling on is just the wakeup call IMO. Energy policy - disaster. Defence policy - disaster. Economic policy - disaster. Migration policy - disaster. All of these things are coming together at the same time, and it bemuses me how the decisions taken to get us here were considered ‘optimal’ Sure, the US is like a bull in a china shop at the moment, but the middle east was always going to reach another major conflict. We have been living in a detached bubble for far too long, and the ideologues have been a major part of that. ( I’m a brit. I feel your pain ) npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I do agree, but it is slightly humorous nevertheless. Unfortunately, exactly at the point in time the world learns that 'might makes right’ and not semantics or virtue signalling, is exactly the same time that the ‘mighty’ are setting the stage. It is just a shame we didn’t make sure we kept hold of our ‘might' npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I could try explaining IQ distribution amongst a population not being indicative of one person in said population, but I am not smart enough to articulate it to you. Don't feel too bad for me. Everyone has their place. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I’m English, you tit 🤣 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Let others disagree? I’m the one disagreeing “calmly" aren't I? 🤣 There are some simple realities here. Before they ‘allowed’ it to happen, they were impoverished. They joined global trade, recognising that isolationism was a death sentence for the Communist dream. Rather than allow it to happen, they needed it. Now, ofc they would rather be on top, but there was no allowing of anything by them. They had no option. The irony here is that without global trade routes being open to all, the second largest and aging population, with huge energy import and food requirements, might start to struggle a little. I’m sure in their head they can capture all of the productivity of the country and carry on, but the picture of global supply chains is complex, convoluted, and spans a globe that needs open trade routes to keep that system sustained. That is what they got from it. That is what they needed - and still need. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid And their alternative was what exactly? Stay commie rice farmers? I swear this platform has become riddled with retard echo chamber nonsense 😂 Tell me, if they ‘allowed’ it to happen, what was their alternative? The implication being they had a way to stop it back then. Tell me what that option was - if you can. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid It wasn’t “allowed” to happen, they wanted in. That was the whole point in the post WW2 order. The US protects the trade routes, and then everyone is able to trade without needing to defend their own supply chains. They then use those Dollars obtained by sending stuff to the US, to buy other things they need. You need to see the historical context. By the time they joined the world in economic trade, it was clear economic activity was the future for them. Ironically, isolating yourself from the world was seen as a flaw, not a plus. We have just witnessed the beginning of the end for that era, and that is a far bigger problem for the world. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Could be Bob Malakas again 🤣 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Oh for sure, adoption for censorship resistance reasons - in other words, adoption derived from need - is ‘good’ as a test case and as an adversarial environment demonstration for the world stage. Sometimes though, I look in here, and see some questionable conclusions on certain topics, and it makes me realise how malleable people seem to be - my mind extrapolates that out to some weird places I hope I do not see. i.e. “I like them because they like bitcoin” is a simp step too far for me 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdHBpcGdyMWNseDJoZzMybXVqdHBmdnF4aTFibHFrbDFuNWJ4YjcyYyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/cQtlhD48EG0SY/giphy.gif npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Inside, I am hoping the claims of Iran looking for bitcoin payments, doesn’t turn you all into IRGC simps 😬 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Could you be anymore triggered? 🤣 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The issue will become discerning between whether it is merely another hudna, or whether they really do want peace. Historically speaking Iranian derived ideology tends to lean toward hudna. Trump has pressing for a ‘deal’ incessantly. My money is on them snatching his hand off to buy time - again. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Fascinating that generally speaking, people are OK with social media shaping their ideas and thoughts, but not AI. I’m not suggesting it isn’t a ‘thing’ but I am highlighting that oddly enough the idea of being spoon-fed ideas and have your ego stroked isn’t new. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I have a crazy story related to this topic. Circa 2018 ( pre covid ) a few friends and I were skiing/snowboarding in Meribel ( France ) After a long day we were having a few beers in our room streaming music to a bluetooth speaker from one of the mobiles. One of the group starts asking about said speaker, saying it sounded good etc, asking where it was bought from etc etc. Within a few mins one of the people in that room had an advert email showing where said speaker was on sale. Yes - it worked - speakers were bought 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Yes npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid It definitely is now, agreed. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid More like: https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExMWFvMTFuaWJod201ZmFxYXQ3NGkzcmJ0ZTVuY2E5eHNhbnl0bHl5aSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/QBd2kLB5qDmysEXre9/giphy.gif 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Agreed. maybe it outlasts me, maybe not. Much like I say the conflict we see today in the middle east was inevitable, I also say the end of fiat is also inevitable. We know it is inevitable, just not when. I made peace with that a long time ago. Now I just watch things play out lmao npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I thought the Dollar was doomed in 2008 too 😂 That event was pivotal on why I am even here today. That, and Covid together are two of the biggest ‘events' that shaped my mind, sometimes I even question whether I am sane lol. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The crisis was always coming dude. We know this because one side has openly stated for the entirety of my lifetime, that their goal is the eradication of the other side. The west has historically played the game of containment, in the hope the ideology fizzles out on its own. Hoping it collapsed under its own weight like the USSR. Clearly that wasn’t happening. Clearly a day was going to come when the clash happened. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid No, it’s more like ( IMO ) 'never let a good crisis go to waste' npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Given there are third parties included in the passing of conversations, it seems obvious a conversation is happening. What I find really odd, is why the US doesn’t just say “We are talking to people in Iran about an end to the war, but not necessarily talking to the people in Iran claiming otherwise” npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Thought of the day: Misplaced activism is a dangerous thing. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Four days and he still hadn’t calmed down? 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid What motivated her to get into writing novels? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid When we had to go back, some asked why there was a need as they thought they were being as productive at home. No idea on accuracy of the claim, but the answer was “Think of the man in the van, he doesn’t have the ability to work from home, so it needs to be fair” I remember thinking we don't all get the perks of travelling around the world as part of our job either, so how far does this ‘fairness’ extend? 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I’d tell you what I use in my hair, but I’d have to ask my wife to answer accurately 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid LMAO, even the wife laughed at that one 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Civilisations get retarded before they get to make contact with others. Ooof. 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The sad truth is, they also break many norms. The difference is they are complaining about the very thing they would do if they could. They complain to appeal to the humanity that they would not extend if the roles were reversed. We live in a world without any enforcement to those international laws. What we have started to see happen is the recognition that not breaking them too means you are limiting yourself. I’m not suggesting I agree with it, merely to provide context where needed. If the incumbent powers start ignoring global norms, then the only thing to do is copy, otherwise it is a game of cards where the other person follows no rules while you do. We will all spiral downward while missing the glaringly obvious fact that picking a side that is somehow exempt from those critiques, is nonsensical. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid And the sad thing is, anyone opting out will only shoot themselves in the foot as they fall behind those taking it. Once prices adjust, it’s back to square one needing an income to buy a house etc, as everyone can bid the minimum. back to square one with a dependency on a benefit to survive. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid You know, games might be a great way to people to dip a toe in. Get it on google play lol. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid “Some people like taking the long route home” Awesome movie. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Probably running out of hardware, so naturally get very selective about targets. May also be second guessing the validity in attacking those around them and might be thinking “you know, maybe we might need them" npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Honestly, I don’t care. I think we put too much emphasis on whether a person wrote something. Ultimately I am reading words. Historically a company would have had a communications team for public briefings, or a lawyer proof-read and change it. In that sense I care less about it being AI generated than I do about what picture they are trying to build. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The pushback for me specifically isn't that living with faith isn’t better, I fully recognise that it is. The pushback comes only in the form of ’needing’ faith isn’t enough of a reason to believe for me. I either believe or I don’t, it isn't a choice for me. I’d frame it this way - even if I decided to follow religion, it would be hollow for me. Fake. Standing in front of the figurative gates ( if it were to happen ) then my insincerity would have been on full display until that point. Having said all that, I am happy for those that do find faith. It is definitely the better way to live. 5 stars on the ‘recommend a friend’ survey lol. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I knew you wouldn’t read it again. I wasn’t saying BIP110 proponents were binary thinkers, I was referring to the binary thinking manifesting in the calling people a shitcoin apologist for not agreeing you. All or nothing. Blinded to any other reason for a position other than the one they decide. Pretty much exactly as you have done here. Go back to TikTok. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Read the words again. Then when you feel that urgency to be triggered again, stop, then read again. You think you can manage that? If you can get that far, and still don't get it, I will lay it out for you. Hint - read the words in the OP and replace BIP110 with anything you want, change it to your favourite pizza topping for all I care - I stand by my claim, and to be honest, your post reinforces my stance on it.
