In this case, I think the State would represent the collective unconscious. The collective possesses a fear of something, say an external conquering force. That collective fear (or ego, lower consciousness, etc.) manifests as the State. Because the State is born of fear, it does not have eternal life, so it destroys and ultimately self-destructs.<br/><br/>With new tools like Bitcoin, plus what seems to be an awakening in consciousness, I’m of the belief that we are entering an era of abundance and philosopher kings - the Age of Aquarius.

Past scams include an upcoming ice age, destruction of the ozone layer, etc.”<br/><br/>Once he shared some of the manic episodes of the previous decades, I could easily see how silly they appear today. It seems like it is usually a large-scale grift that often times politicians lean into. Sometimes, it’s rooted in a small bit of truth, but it becomes severely exaggerated in order to appear like an emergency to capitalize on. You can see the recent grift now in hindsight with ESG companies/funds, non-profits, and political talking points.<br/><br/>I don’t claim to be an expert in meteorology or climate science, but a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a critical-thinking lens certainly helps. Now, as we see the “global warming” scare has not come to pass (e.g. ice caps remain, Florida beachfronts properties are not consistently submerged, etc.), I see the goal post shift from “global warming” to “climate change”.<br/><br/>Under climate change, a significant rise in temperature is not required. Instead, natural disasters are exaggerated and blamed on “climate change”, and historical evidence is masked in order to hide the fact that natural disasters are actually not increasing - these things naturally ebb and flow throughout Earth’s history.<br/><br/>One last thing I want to mention: in the current two-party system, it usually naturally occurs that one party leans into the scam, and the other rejects it. I don’t side with either party, since almost always both parties lie in their own way. There’s grift to be had from both political stances. It’s simply Game Theory playing out. 2026-10-09T16:57:19Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsg3fy2lq3cgagtktnrsn9fkzvdc0keas4hrtd0xunhqalhqlg9d2qzyzaagr4uecwzaukdd6c82z6kh66mzk0hd0ycdte3le5sww26vuxekacyd4y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsprvz05epgtj7egat50vrva3t8atg2zjfqyd606nndqfvy0ad63ucr4z0az'>nevent1q…z0az</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Reminds me of this Carl Jung quote.

But I’ve also felt that the cost of building and running a node should be taken into account as a primary factor, and also Moore’s law should be used as a reference.<br/><br/>I supposed “Satoshi’s vision” was captured by BSV, but that didn’t seem to work out too well.<br/><br/>I have to trust God at the end of the day, and run a node with software that makes sense to me. 2026-07-19T22:36:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst09yemtdgx8gfzwanpfgn9rjs7jy0zttey7v7l4tf9690vgu6gkczyzaagr4uecwzaukdd6c82z6kh66mzk0hd0ycdte3le5sww26vuxekfmcgft I built a stone wall for a garden in my backyard and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

For example, if one gains material wealth through investment banking or a crypto pre-mine, their wealth comes not by the fruit of their labor, but by deception, manipulation or theft from others. <br/><br/>It’s hard for most to see the immorality of occupations that are technically legal and often esteemed, but diving deep into bitcoin and the financial system opened my eyes and I can’t go back to ignorance now. 2026-07-07T15:17:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrtk40an9wkemtskaqke5n9he9qejkamve0086wtdu7vtwzq2kuhszyzaagr4uecwzaukdd6c82z6kh66mzk0hd0ycdte3le5sww26vuxekgkyxgw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0f8uhmay73542kyswk6jxj3fhg2lu878u5h3n8qk0autj4ug3txslvtvda'>nevent1q…tvda</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>An hour sounds ridiculous.

In Plato&#39;s most famous work, &#34;The Republic,&#34; he discusses the ideal society and the role of the philosopher-king. <br/><br/>&gt; In Book 3 of &#34;The Republic,&#34; Plato argues that the citizens of his ideal city should be fed a simple diet to prevent them from becoming too focused on material comforts and pleasures, which he believed could lead to corruption and instability. However, this idea is not specifically about restricting food to prevent &#34;wild ideas about freedom.&#34;<br/><br/>&gt; It&#39;s possible that you&#39;re thinking of a different passage or a different philosopher altogether. Plato&#39;s ideas about the ideal society are complex and multifaceted, and it&#39;s worth noting that his views on freedom and the role of the individual in society are still debated among scholars today.<br/><br/>&gt; Socrates, on the other hand, is known for his method of questioning and dialogue, as recorded by Plato and other ancient sources. He is famous for his statement &#34;Know thyself,&#34; and his conversations often focused on ethics, morality, and the nature of reality. While Socrates did discuss the role of the individual in society, there is no record of him suggesting that city folk should be rationed food to prevent them from having &#34;wild ideas about freedom.&#34; 2026-02-18T03:36:16Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsy35mceevmd75t47e5ckd3qgxkca8f22dzh264aarcawgzxqaph8czyzaagr4uecwzaukdd6c82z6kh66mzk0hd0ycdte3le5sww26vuxekjlrz7d Does anyone have any recommendations for a shower filter?

I didn’t and won’t sell any bitcoin for my expenses. I’ve only been selling stocks so far as needed. It actually feels good to pull away from Blackrock-related funds and decrease my fiat investments.<br/>2. I will be able to reap short-term and long-term tax benefits of house ownership.<br/>3. This is not an investment. This is my home! I can finally buy a big freezer for half a cow and lots of ice cream haha. I can create a garden, build a sauna, or buy a big safe. I can start making a space my own.<br/>4. It’s in a nice area and I got it for a deal IMO. This reduces risk of losing equity of the market does decide to crash. It’s also near family which is important to me.<br/><br/>All that being said, I’m excited! Even if it doesn’t work out, it will be a learning experience and plenty of fun along the way. 2025-09-20T03:34:58Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswwgkttgvraek7tqxpedmt7cfzlsu6ymw6chsy6uf2nsx4wwr9a5szyzaagr4uecwzaukdd6c82z6kh66mzk0hd0ycdte3le5sww26vuxekhj0u6r I’m colorblind so I asked Claude to tell me the color of someone’s eyes and they said they aren’t allowed to wtf.
