I have this feeling that human being that do t have kids yet are still in their larvae state.
Being a parent can change your worldview in a drastic way, in a short period of time.
I understand people being afraid of being a parent, as they might not stomach what they’ll become.
But being a parent in embracing change and that’s incredibly powerful.

You don’t want to be the person that can explain exactly why something doesn’t work.
You don’t even want to be the person that can explain why it can work.
If you can really do that, then you are a person that can make it work.
Be *that* person (or at least try!).

Eventually every bitcoiner you like will have such a poor take on something that it will make you question everything they have ever said before.

Stress is kind of misunderstood.
It’s basically a mechanism on your body to pump you up to solve a difficult high stakes problem (high stakes being subjective to each individual).
The problem comes is modern societies where 99% of the time you can’t be actively acting on the problem (you are in traffic worrying about your house payment) or the problem expands over time (some older family member has a chronic health condition).
Stress asks for action, so a good hack is to actually do something *physically* when you are stressed. Do errands walking, do exercise. It doesn’t need to be related to the cause or the stress, weirdly enough.
Talking about is tricky. Talking about it with intention to find solutions is good, but simply talking to a therapist can be just a bad proxy to talking to someone who can actually help you with the problem that is causing the stress.
Eventually people default to trying to solve bad mental health which is a consequence not the cause with money (drugs, appointments).
Attacking symptoms is always vastly more profitable that attacking the cause of a problem, never forget that, and stress comes from problems.

Humans are wired for localism, not globalism.
Nothing pushes you more in that direction than having kids.

It's one thing to not folow the guidelines and not be approved, it's another to not follow those guidelines (?) and get jail time. It does feel unhinged.

Denying encryption online is literally the same as arguing for wiretapping homes because you can be a terrorist behind closed doors.

There is no capitalism or communism at the top of the pyramid or at the community level at the bottom.
Everyone understands merit, everyone understands sometimes people need selfless help.
The problem is at the middle of the pyramid because it was never supposed to have that many layers.
Humans are optimised for a much flatter hierarchy.

2024-08-23 15:43:15

This is NOT the way.
Communists, terrrorists, covid, global warming. All of these are historically “perfect” enemies of the state:
You can’t see them, you can’t accurately measure the effort against them, they can be anywhere, they are a “threat to existence”, rely on more power to the state to fight them back, want a population of snitches.
Don’t give in.

I know what fiat is, what I mean is that it’s database that keeps a ledger. But I didn’t even want use the word ledger because that’s opinionated. I want to get into why these digital numbers in a table are better than those digital numbers in a table.
My main point was that explaining 1971 or seashells to start the convo is silly.

2024-08-19 20:56:16

Most bitcoin explanations are cringe af.
Listen to me.
Bitcoin is a database, so is fiat. Bitcoins’ database is 1. decentralised and 2. synchs into a consensus in a novel as surprisingly robust way, 3. allowing any tx within its rules without censorship or ways to change the db in anyone’s favor. 4. It’s finite supply, this isn’t technological, it was a choice.
Because of all of this, some people use Bitcoin as money all over the world.
That’s it.

While tend to agree (just like a gene, a natuon that doesn’t reproduce can’t be easily categorised as succcessful), let’s not forget many of the less successful nations have higher birth rates (a steelman arg is higher birth rates are a response *against* a declining nation, but still )

While immigration can solve the literal numbers problem, if there is no successful integration -new citizens share the main values of previous citizens- (and the bigger the immigration needed, the bigger the challenge), then you’d be replacing one set of values for another, not solving for why a specific set of values leads to inevitable lower birth rates

2024-08-18 20:47:39

This is like the paradox of choice but for values and opinions. The more we listen to stuff, the more we either doubt and despair or ossify and not take in any new data.
Most good values are shared across all humans, and learned early on, but we are psyoped to doubt ourselves and others. #note1tn8…pr0l

Meditation is just as useless as going to the gym in a good way.
You go to the gym, lift heavy objects and eventually put them back down. But that prepares you for when you are OUT of the gym.
Meditating is just training to keep thoughts away. You fail, they keep coming back (“put the heavy objects back down”) but you learn an important skill: keep bad thoughts away, they are not you.

Unpopular opinion: we need algos in Nostr asap.
Algos signal a poster “this is interesting, do more of this, please”, it helps the audience to filter out noise,
Without them, there is little reason to react to a note (you are not reinforcing the feed choices), and posters feel no one is listening.
The bad rep of algos is how much of a black box they are in traditional platforms.
So the question is: why aren’t there more open source algo options?

Nostr is “struggling” because it doesn’t have a CEO basically, and it’s kind of directionless.

Everyone tells you to leave Twitter but nobody tells you HOW.
I’m leaving Twitter and Instagram, but this isn’t mentally easy, social media is a perfectly dialled drug. I left FB a couple of years ago cold turkey and it wasn’t easy.
So HOW am I leaving Twitter?
1. I deleted the app. This makes it inconvenient to access the platform without the stress of deleting the account. This *should* be enough but eventually you are going to reinstall it.
2. I have a “good motive”. I left FB after getting in a lot of useless arguments regarding the pandemic. It felt draining, and it’s how Twitter feels now.
3. I’m a father now, and I “need to be the change I want to see in the world”. Social media corporations literally want to rot your brain. Even if you are a perfect content creator, you are just bringing potential victims to the platform. You work for the man, for no pay. And nobody is “just lurking”. Opt out, I know I am.
4. I’m going through all my bookmarks. It surprises me how “useless” they are. Yes, they look like “signal” but why and I saving them? To own somebody else? Am I building a case against the world? Grow up Carlos.
5. I *want* to share stuff I’ve learned as a human. But a big platform with bad incentives is worse than a small platform with good incentives by orders of magnitude. (Do I even need to figure this out? I already have people I love I can share those experiences with.)
6. If you are an aldult my age, “signal” shouldn’t really be found every x number of tweets. You should have a good mental model by now, a good set of heuristics and values, which should guide you in the right direction, whatever new data comes along.
What you think is signal is just confirmation bias most of the time.
7. You can’t change anyone on social media, we can barely teach our kids.
Your intentions don’t matter, your words don’t matter, only your actions. Kids teach you that.
Wish me luck.
