Thanks 🙏

Going off the grid for 4 days to Breckenridge. I’ll be taking my boys, our boards and living on the powder. Stay frosty Nostr. Catch you guys in a few.

Thanks

People see thoughtful writing and immediately assume it’s ai. Like putting effort into your words is somehow suspicious now. I’ve been here consistently, same voice, same message. Anyone who’s followed along knows exactly who I am. If anything, this whole thing proves the point. We’re building something real here, something that can’t be stopped by lazy criticism from people who can’t be bothered to actually read or think. They want to tear down instead of contribute. Keep building. Keep writing. The work speaks for itself, and it’s permanent. That’s what matters.

Truly believe it began at the end of last year. Starting with CK. Couldn’t agree more though.

True failure is category error mistaking external outcomes for internal surrender. The former lies beyond our control. The latter remains the only defeat we can claim authorship of. The only true failure is quitting

Is there a white paper?

Inevitably, people relying on major centralized legacy platforms at some point fall into this trap. His views and followers mainly come from YT.

Spent today confronting something that’s become disturbingly common. Adults who’ve never learned that reality doesn’t bend to their convenience. A grown man threw what can only be described as a sustained tantrum because the rules didn’t accommodate his preferences. Not his needs. His preferences. The expectation wasn’t subtle….that I should compromise my integrity, break established norms, or fabricate exceptions because honoring them was inconvenient for him. We’ve cultivated a culture where personal discomfort has become grounds for demanding the world reorganize itself. Where “this doesn’t work for me” has somehow transformed into a compelling argument for why everyone else should adjust. The most basic premise of functional society (that shared rules apply to everyone, including you) is now treated as negotiable. What disturbs me isn’t the request itself. People ask for exceptions all the time. It’s the genuine shock and indignation when the answer is no. The inability to process that other people’s boundaries, institutional rules, and basic fairness might actually matter more than one person’s immediate comfort. Maturity used to mean accepting that life contains non negotiable realities. That sometimes the answer is simply “deal with it” and that’s not cruelty but necessary friction. We’ve somehow lost that, and the cost is a generation that views any obstacle as an injustice and any person who won’t remove it as an enemy. The hard truth is that you’re not special in the way you think you are. None of us are. And that’s exactly what makes civilization possible.

Ok, I want one. Especially because it says “zapper” on it.

Feeling drained? Move your body. Walk, squat, do pushups, lift weights, jog. Anything counts. Exercise triggers endorphin release, increases cerebral blood flow, and elevates dopamine and serotonin within minutes. Your brain fog clears because oxygen delivery to neurons jumps. Your prefrontal cortex lights up. Mitochondria in muscle cells signal your brain to wake up. This isn’t motivational talk, it’s biochemistry. Your body is built for movement, and it rewards you immediately when you use it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Just have some fun with your music. This one is called, “Gods Don’t Bleed”

Gm Nostr.

Your time and attention is possibly your most valuable commodity. Guard it accordingly.

I’m not super picky about who I follow. If you’re building something real on Nostr, engaging in genuine conversations, and contributing to the space, I’m interested. I never get tired of talking Bitcoin, sovereignty, freedom or Nostr. What fascinates me most however, is seeing how each person thinks differently about these ideas and weaves them into their daily life. The unique perspectives, the personal applications, the individual interpretations. That’s where the real value lives. We’re all exploring the same territory, but everyone’s walking a different path through it. That’s what makes this community worth being part of.

She’s right that we can’t connect with everybody. And we shouldn’t try. But we can be intentional about expanding beyond our current bubble. Not through passive scrolling, but through active bridging. The feed mentality says, scroll and consume whatever appears. What I propose is something different. Actively signal the voices you value so they can reach networks beyond your own. Then be intentional about which of those new voices you actually engage with deeply. Quality over quantity. But first, we have to know the quality exists. She’s fighting against passive consumption. I’m fighting against invisible fragmentation. Both problems are real. And honestly, I think we need both solutions working together.

Thinking about starting a Rumble channel called, “Contra Intelligence”. Unless there’s a better protocol or platform. I’m up for suggestions. This goes back to the #Nostr Interviews I said I was going to start. I’ve been mulling over several ideas. Anyone have ideas or suggestions? #asknostr

Because we love to roast 🎙️🤙

The chaos out there is loud because the old system is fighting for relevance. The “influencers” are panicking about algorithm changes. The brands are pivoting to whatever platform has momentum this quarter. The politicians are trying to regulate things they do not understand. Meanwhile we are over here passing notes in class that the teacher cannot intercept.
