This becomes law and compliance is mandatory. <br/>2. 90% of citizens comply.<br/>3. The government increases its tax revenue. <br/>4. The government knows, with precision and clarity, exactly how much and where its citizens keep their bullion. <br/>5. The government declares a crisis. <br/>6. The bullion is seized. <br/><br/>I pray to God that I am wrong. 2026-09-30T14:13:33Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8kml8chasyrcdkh7cwx0g592qj2smfa782xmgfgn4lmj66cqqwsszypqmwj0e7au23jdfh9cculze7ltmypx7m5ssu7922n23pguqfp7ggm9x7ke “How Do We Become Virtuous? <br/><br/>There are two kinds of virtue: <br/>1 Intellectual virtue – Comes from learning and experience. It takes time and teaching to develop. <br/>2 Moral virtue – Comes from practice and habit. It is developed by doing good actions over and over again.<br/><br/>The word &#34;ethics&#34; comes from the Greek word &#34;ethos,&#34; which means habit. This tells us that moral virtue isn’t something we are born with—it’s something we develop by practicing good habits.”<br/><br/>-The Nichomachean Ethics - For Everyone, Aristotle, Kindle Edition, pg. 35-36<br/> 2025-08-20T10:29:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszrsykeknu9mrsms2278euks823m7fedeuxes8vt9q09y3nk3qkcszypqmwj0e7au23jdfh9cculze7ltmypx7m5ssu7922n23pguqfp7ggdclx4g “Saying that only the perfect ‘Form of the Good’ is truly good makes it meaningless. No one can really experience or achieve it. We should focus on something practical, something that people can actually reach in their lives. Some argue that knowing about ‘The Good’ helps in daily life, like a blueprint helps a builder. But in reality, most people don’t need this kind of abstract knowledge.<br/><br/>We shouldn&#39;t chase an impossible idea of perfection. Instead, let&#39;s focus on the good that people can really achieve.”<br/><br/>-The Nichomachean Ethics - For Everyone, Aristotle, Kindle Edition, pg. 22-23 2025-08-04T23:22:23Z
