Growing up, I never understood all the talk of wishing for “peace” around Christmas This year, I get it so, so much

+1. I need a trainer to keep me accountable and make going enjoyable. Way too easy to skip if I didn’t

Made me giggle. Fun fact: got to send that zap in front of a normie

What’s going on here?

Gimme some of that TRT

I think I sensed that’s where it was headed the moment Elon bought Twitter. I saw the move from censorship to hyper-noise algorithm for what it was. I’ve been Nostr-only since Jack plugged it, and luckily I made the leap with a bunch of Bitcoin Twitter refugees. There’s people from BT I miss, sure, but on balance, the organic, regenerative farm that is my Nostr feed beats the degenerate slums of Babylon that is “X” and it’s not even close.

Check out this rant. It’s the unlock.

This rant was a tremendous unlock for me and I recommend everybody here go listen to it. It simplified the world of the present day for me so clearly: the 80 year Strauss-Howe cycle is above all else the death and rebirth of a shared paradigm. After a crisis, we establish a paradigm for everything - money, the social contract, gender roles, government, social values, expectations of each other and the use of technology, etc. That paradigm holds for 80 years, but accumulates many anomalies - unintended consequences, edge cases, unanticipated challenges - along the way. At a certain point, enough anomalies accumulate for people to begin rejecting the old paradigm and searching for a new one. The very obvious two camps in the world right now are the people who still accept the paradigm, and the people who have given up on it and are seeking a new one. This will be a period where a lot of bad proposals are made for new paradigms. We just have to have faith that the ones that actually work will prevail.

They really need to prosecute the company that built the lift the thieves used to rob the Louvre

Have you read Human Smoke?

The normies I know were just talking about buying the dip. This might be max pain for us plebs only, because we worship the cycle. We are the ones who religiously believe now is the time to sell.

There are non-fucked-up ways to make this point
