Last Notes npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Why on earth does our govt just do whatever Israel wants it to do? In so fucking sick of this same story over and over again. #nevent1q…j9jh npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann $58K gang gearing up for their big moment. https://blossom.primal.net/18870498b1438ce9d308f6d1bb972c84f45ca7b3d322e08ebb2260ca96a44196.gif npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 1. It’s a metaphor 2. Ai can actually generate any music you like and many musicians are genuinely afraid it will replace them. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What they fear about Ai: “I spent years mastering this instrument and now it’s worthless.” The reality of Ai: “I spent years internalizing the soul of music and Ai just gave me a full orchestra.” npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This so much 👆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The beginning… 🔥🫡 #nevent1q…jv20 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Rules for thee and all that #nevent1q…a9uk npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I suspect you can do that with an extremely lean model. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann As ive said dozens of times. It will be between $70-80 trillion in 2035. It actually puts us a bit closer to $41 trillion at the end of this year than $40 in my estimation. It takes us to $53 Trillion by 2030, just four years from now. Then we add another $20 trillion, almost half of the entire current debt, in only the next 5 years after that reaching around $75 trillion. This obviously won’t be a straight line and there will be sharp years and shallower ones, but they will both be “sharp” and “shallow” in respect to how enormous their addition to the debt is. Not there there will be any pause or reversal in this trend… in any respect whatsoever. A literal revolution would need to occur to turn this around. #nevent1q…tur6 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Sadness. Weak hands don’t get the game. Although, it could also simply suggest that individuals were so strongly frontrunning the businesses and hedge funds etc, that they were able to offload and strengthen their life’s foundation while institutions are only now starting to catch up. In other words, businesses, hedge funds, and govts have to buy from someone. And individuals have the largest slice of the pie so they are the largest pool of potential liquidity regardless. #nevent1q…0qfn npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The easier it is to build stuff with Ai, the more all of the value shifts away from generic apps and tools, and into the truly innovative, disruptive, and novel systems and protocols built to enable communication between them all. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The point wasn't to give an answer. I spent all of 4 seconds coming up with options. the point was to explain what i meant. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann First thought: awesome dude this is a cool project and i feel the "seems liek it was built by someone who has never pulled a weed before" SO much, lol First feedback: I pulled no information from the name you chose and quite possibly would forget it if i walked away and then thought about it later - likely wouldn't find it. - i would think about the name (unless you think permaculture people might actually relate to PatternBase in a way that im not familiar with), just because I've always found naming to be a super important part of discovery and association with a tool/app. Just my unsolicited 2 sats, lol. (PermaBase? or maybe just Perma? Or something more dumb but memorable like Grow'dit?) npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Well they are getting a 75% discount to bloat the UTXO set thanks to bad incentives, so as has been discussed there is no reason for them to use Op return instead. So far that seems to have been the case: #nevent1q…vnlm npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Doesn’t this also suggest that the #1 touted reason for removing the relay limit - to get people to use the trash can instead of bloat the UTXO set - has been proven to be a useless and inconsequential argument though? I appreciate the data collection regardless, but this doesn’t seem to a win on either side of the debate. Actually sort of a lose lose imo. The singular touted “benefit” is proving to be nonsense. #nevent1q…ejaj npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Epstein was torturing and drinking the blood of children but the mainstream media still spends the whole day talking about a meme with Obama as an ape. Legacy news can’t die fast enough. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann G Freaking M npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If you want to hear us trashing other people, be sure to catch the latest Roundtable! #nevent1q…kj69 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann "Breaking the cycle requires accepting discomfort long enough to see the pattern, which is why most people don't." Hence, "it's always darkest before the dawn." Part of my point is that it's about to get really uncomfortable for everyone whether they decided to be complacent and submissive or not. The last half decade has already woken up many people because of this very dynamic, imo. Seeking comfort through compliance will just come with pain anyway, and because of that we continue toward a threshold that will eventually tip over and I suspect will unravel an extraordinary amount of what we consider "normal." The people who present a viable alternative will have an enormous upper hand and opportunity to influence the new direction of the world. That's why building everything *we* want to see is our best bet, imo. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I think @nprofile…ylmr and @nprofile…74u9 took this one on and I’m eager to see how they did with it! I had to step away from audiobooks unfortunately because they were killing all my time to work on something that I just couldn’t put aside. Sad because I really love them and was so stoked about this one, but it’s SO much time and it was the only logical thing to trade to get the time I needed. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Been away from Nostr for like a week after switching phones and getting logged out of literally *everything.* Any good stuff I missed? #GM #AskNostr npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Been jazzed waiting for this! Got to preview it and the opening hook was really good. 👏🏻🔥 #nevent1q…z2ly npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Sorry I’ve been out of the Nostr scape for a bit because I switched phones and only now transferred my keys to login. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The reason your privacy is being attacked is because the people in power are scared that you'll talk about their horrific crimes, pedophilia, and fraud and they wont be able to censor or manipulate the conversation. https://blossom.primal.net/eb32b47541ae5d5eaccdbd58d0ec44cd717d641aa84d996f2a0c68499f9a2616.gif npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Just got my moltbot up and running... its helping me with my presentation for tomorrow at Plan B. We're jsut chatting while i watch it put slides together from the speech i recorded as an episode and i tell it what to fix or do different, it helped me break it down into bullet points and put it in order, and I gave it backgrounds created by my designer and we're just going to town 🤣 I'm not even joking this shit is kinda fucking insane. PSA ! 🚨🚨 ISOLATE EVERYTHING if you are going to use this, seriously not a joke. don't you dare give it direct access to your accounts, jsut forward everything to *its* email and calendar, etc. I'm going to even isolate it on my home network #nevent1q…jee8 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I'm LITERALLY running it right now as of like 30 minutes ago and its legit kinda fucking wild npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I literally posted because it WAS cool. I made a note about trying to build up network effects to help make it succeed. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I love anti-Ai takes. What are some of your best ones? 😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann One thing you need to understand more than ANYTHING else if you want this idea to work: YOU NEED ONE SUSTAINABLE NETWORK. Do not try to get more driers or adoption everywhere at once. Do ONE city and try to get a threshold where there are enough available drivers and users to actually be sustainable by itself. Then branch out. This will take a very direct and concerted effort though. I would read The Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen if you want a view of the network effects this is up against. It would be amazing to see something like this succeed, but I think the hard part isn’t building the app, imo. #nevent1q…n9dg npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://blossom.primal.net/1245fa00e1c3ec7cff677c9d9776cba51b6fd662b9c726ee5287eda84403921b.mp4 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I think looking back will reveal the time we are living through to be a long political and economic depression that began around 2010. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If anyone is going to be in El Salvador 👇 https://blossom.primal.net/899eb81f4e6b41bc6578b7999ba86f342458ee13dba9d1186086d43c2a563871.jpg npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Why would the sun be static under one assumption and then not under the other? The question is a simple application either model: is the sun moving across the sky or not? It wouldn’t support either model to take video and have it appear stationary. But obviously if you record for long enough it will move… so how does this apply in any way? My proof: take a video of a blade of grass. Is it growing or stationary? Now do it over a few weeks. What’s the difference? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Just a tip, if “[something] flavor” is one of the ingredients, you’re probably eating fake food. GM npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Seriously this episode was awesome and the read was such a fascinating theory. I usually don’t brag about my own podcast but this one was wild to dig into. #nevent1q…rrz9 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If you know you know https://open.spotify.com/episode/0a8E6YYkryscg24HGbQ6dW?si=vNvJCFMnT9q_lB8FOcRR6A https://blossom.primal.net/cfbe749a08f642a781995d0d0f3c32b70a0a01007b634ce2402e9bed1844bfcc.jpg npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This would be a great differentiator if a service could figure out how to zap split this by default when using their client. Not sure the feasibility of that though if there is even a NIP for zap splits or not. 🤔 Would also be interesting to have user choice based on whether they agree or not. You might repost something with the comment “look at this retard” and not want to give them any sats. I’d be curious to explore what’s possible here and if the UX could be made intuitive. #nevent1q…wxlf npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Somebody is running a local LLM that hit the context wall and went delusional 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Well there are no journalists in the establishment media at all so I don’t know what the role of “journalist” even is anymore. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann There’s probably some truth to that too. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann So I barely pay attention to X anymore but I do still post regularly. I muted a post the other day that was doing numbers and found out from an Audionaut that Elon had RT’d it. Suddenly it makes a lot more sense 😆 https://blossom.primal.net/b96559604cf756ea0ccad991ac75ffcc927c3ad2d53fb0bea5216b3552f34b38.png npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I don’t think you have the proper lack of faith as to the competence or ethical grounding of “the authorities.” npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann So you believe the “Learing Center” is a legit business that deserves millions of tax payer dollars? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This has nothing to do with their response or how they acted. And he didn’t have an obvious camera, he was knocking on the door asking for how to get his kid into the daycare. They were in full lockdown, blacked out windows, and defensive before there was any indication of what was even happening other than a parent enquiring about a daycare. What you are referencing is an imagined concern in a situation that never actually happened. The actual events and their reactions are so horribly obvious that it slaps you in the face. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann To be more clear, what you are talking about is a situational evil, not a systemic one. There are countless of these examples to pull from, but they require individual response, they are core to the structure of what is being done. We could spend every day for the rest of our lives focused on one off failures of govt like this (which wouldn’t be a wasted life mind you) and never even catch up to dealing with all of the immediately present problems today, let alone the millions more that will arise every year forever. But what we are talking about that the daycare thing has shone a light on, is a vast, systemic network of fraud that totals in the trillions. A literal institution of fakery designed to rot the country from the inside out by draining it of resources to fund its own destruction. This is of a wholly different category and scope of problem than the situation you bring up. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That’s not 0.1% of the real problem here. You are focused on a twig and missing the forest if that’s where you think the real cost lies. Proportionality matters. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 1000% have you not seen the insanity from the politicians, the attacks from Walz, the press events that bussed in a bunch of fake customers and kids, the “fact checks” from CNN? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann There's an intuitively obvious way to know beyond reasonable doubt that the daycare situation is fraud: If you actually had a legitimate business and someone with 1M+ followers came to your establishment with a camera to post online, you'd be overjoyed with the opportunity to show them around or brag about your daycare. Real business owners pay 10s of thousands of dollars for that kind of exposure. The only reason you would lock down, get vicious, defensive, or violent, is because you got caught in a lie. Period. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The point of the guns is to control the capital. When you have means to move capital around them it diminishes the effectiveness of the guns. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If we aren't trying to bend or break the immoral rules of a corrupt system in a peaceful way, then we aren't moving things forward. This is the *purpose* of P2P and censorship resistant technology. To build a better world around the corrupted one. Not to protect criminals, but to protect those who defy criminals in power. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Today's the day https://open.spotify.com/episode/41Uj5866ljHVNC8ci0B1HJ?si=HctYI-FFQuWDQghwOihPnQ npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Gotcha I didn't realize mutes were transferred WoT style and generally think the muting/blocking aspect should be personal, not transmitted unless explicitly agreed. In other words I think it should be "loose automatic white list, and manual blacklist" in implementation. Obviously likely scaling considerations there but i think that's a better default risk trade off in my mind at least. Could be missing something though, haven't thought about this deeply with hard specifics. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What do you mean "yes you are"? I haven't made a personal statement above. But again I was asking for the mechanism by which WoT is easy to manipulate. Are you saying that bots pretending to be fun or useful in a certain context to get people to follow them and then "turning on them" is the mechanism to propagate fake mutes/bans and that these naturally get spread through the follower network too? I'm asking because i wasn't aware that some of these actions would be automatically adopted if that's what is being discussed. In other words, I was aware that people couldn't get "into" my bubble without some connection to the WoT rather than the notion that if a few accounts *inside* of my WoT would make an unintentional ban/mute for someone that I may want to follow. I actually wouldn't like that behavior generally. People mute for simple opinion, a response, or just being disagreeable. That s a negative thing to "crowdsource" so cheaply, imo. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann My WoT doesn't respond to bots at all. Because i don't follow bots. What measurement or action is responding to this bot activity and why in this scenario? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann “P.s ... All I see are bitcoin posts, surfers and a few pics of naked dudes with their butts in the air on sunny days. Is that normal here” So wait… it’s not like this over in Bluesky? What do they even talk about? 🤔 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I never saw WoT as "easiest to manipulate," millions of bots would seem to have no effect on it from an internal perspective. Not perfect of course, but what's the better option in your opinion? (I'm assuming WoT here btw or did i miss something?) npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Let me know how it goes. Curious to see other people's results 🙏 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I don't think you understand what "too-big-to-fail" means or where it comes from then. Monopoly is also not a common outcome of free markets. To the contrary it is almost exclusively a result of government interference. If you think you have an example to the contrary, you likely aren't looking at it very hard or are simply recalling what we were all forced to remember without any real understanding from our 5th grade history books. Which is an understandable default, btw. Not a judgement.

At least none of that appears to be happening. Because they just went in without any collateral damage, nabbed Maduro, and peaced out. That’s actually so massively different from any engagement the US has been involved in for the past century that I’m actually a tiny bit hopeful that this won’t be the usually disaster that a US military campaign nearly always is. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I think I can make that work.

But from what i can tell from it, this doesn't sound like its on the same page as the point I am trying to make above. My point is that all "studies" boil down to the study and structural analysis of anecdotal evidence. And it is explicitly a trend and common occurrences in unstructured anecdotal evidence that is *the beginning* of all scientific inquiry and lays the foundation for investigating things. When bad, of half-assed science, or broad retrospectives which are extremely unreliable and blend millions of uncontrolled factors, is used to refuse to investigate clear correlations, one should look for a conflict of interest or incentive for why an obvious potential risk is being dismissed and avoided beyond all common sense. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That's grammar, not statistics, lol npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann lol, in what world do bitcoiners offer no "counter opinion?" Your other point is valid although i think it misses the point, but in my experience, bitcoiners are the most disagreeable people on the planet - with others and among their own 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The people who say "but the data says" and ignore the enormous amount of ambiguity and bias in *recording that data,* and the core fact that all studies and all science begins with anecdotal data and personal experience, have completely reversed the logic of science. If you ignore direct experience that occurs with immediate temporal connection in literally 1000s of people, and then shortly thereafter in an order of magnitude more, you've not merely made a joke out of science, you've let the perception of "medical authority" override your common sense. https://blossom.primal.net/3f438b8130095ac6676c5af33014b45ff2aab65b6da550a99320805d35cf0e34.mp4 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I would imagine international law and UN treaties would be the place to look. But otherwise my answer would be “because countries that can do a thing without someone else being able to stop them will do it and that’s just how it has always worked.” One could ask the same question if the millions of horrible things Maduro has done. He just did them an got away with it. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It'z a way to force a physical action to unlock. For all the successful blocking or screen time management apps, the surest way for success is to encourage a physical action or to enforce some sort of time delay so that the person's default motion memory can't robot their way through whatever the block is. If all you have to do is hit "ignore," then in like 2 times the brain can completely move through that "barrier" without any thought or conscious decision. It becomes little more than the same motion as opening the app itself. The idea of making a physical device to unlock the phone again is pretty clever actually. It's kind of like those alarm clocks that drive around on the floor so you have to chase them to cut it off, lol. I think in the context of what they are trying to do, its actually pretty important and might be the difference between something that is easy to ignore and something that may actually force you to weigh the costs of going back and being distracted on your phone again. At least I'm pretty certain this is the logic behind it npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Happy #Bitcoin Genesis Day When did you last backup your keys or confirm your seed is safe?

So I'll just say that the idea of claiming that a piece of data is sound merely because it is a piece of data, will immediately lead you to a million absurd conclusions and contradictions. And its anyone who misses basic incentives and obvious lies that is missing the nuance. It is, without any ambiguity, the extablishment narrative that has almost zero nuance and explicitly shuts down and disallows debate or any questioning of the clear contradictions and falsehoods in the "official facts." npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Consider, 2020 and the story of COVID is going to be in history textbooks soon… and every bit of it is going to be bullsh*t.

You can always build taller buildings and humans forever have been making in habitable places habitable. You can always irradiate and put enough energy into nearby elements to obtain more gold and silver, at great expense yes, but no legitimate limit. Therefore the value of all is explicitly capped and cannot reflect society’s growth and prosperity as a measuring tool.
