Nations are quite simply incompatible with the internet.
Like Catholicism after the printing press, or Monarchy after the death of God, they can never again be more than shells of their former selves.
This is inevitable, but..
The urge to resist this new reality could cause untold suffering, like the 30-Years War after the printing press, and the World Wars after the death of God.
Is this avoidable? Can we forge a new order in peace? Or must the old literally die first?

I have yet to see a Green Party suggest that we should cut public services to pay for green policies.
They always prefer bigger government over smaller emissions.
So the threat can't be THAT existential 🤷

There many lenses. One I like is thinking of the 1914-1989 conflict as a war over what to believe after the death of God. Imperialism or self-determination, globalism or nationalism, communism or capitalism, etc. That's why the post-war consensus is so sacred.

2024-09-05 04:42:28

There was only one world war and it lasted from 1914 to 1989.

If a job interview has several rounds, every round after the first should be compensated as a full working day in the role advertised.
Do you support this motion?

2024-09-03 04:20:29

I thought the whole "Kamala is a Communist" thing was just a parody to ridicule the whole "Trump is a Fascist" thing.
But certain platform owners seem to take it too seriously.
So let me spell it out for those in the back: Kamala is not a Communist any more than Trump is a Fascist, and vice versa.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe has a hidden message for future generations like ours.
As you enter the memorial, it's easy to navigate. You can still see and talk to other people above the obstacles. No need for alarm.
But as you descend deeper into the sloped pathways between them, they grow more and more imposing until you suddenly find yourself lost and alone in dark corridors.
And even though everyone walking those paths share the same plight, they can no longer see or hear each other. So most people find themselves standing still at a crossroads, hoping for a friendly face to find them. But all their friends are standing still too.
So they are driven into paranoia and confusion, leading to apathy - the ultimate totalitarian victory.
The message: don't lose sight of each other and never give up finding each other again!

One big concern I have about abandoning legacy platforms for Nostr: leaving them uncontested creates an illusion of consensus for those who stay.
Without serious opposition group think takes over completely. And they act accordingly.
What should we do about this? 🤔

Our kids are pentalingual in English, French, German, Slovak and Norwegian 🌟
They speak, read and write as natives at their respective ages (10, 7 and 2). Yes, even our youngest has a basis in all the languages, while the oldest frankly outdoes many adult natives. The older kids also code and play music.
We are not professionals, but we took a lot of notes through the years, enough to to make a short book on how we do it.

The printing press was such a powerful invention that it brought the Middle Ages to an end.
But as the Pope would have pointed out, it was also a polarizing and radicalizing machine that led directly to religious conflicts. The internet and social media play a similar role in our time.

Although the symbols and slogans have changed, the conflict is fundamentally the same forces: a universal society VS freedom of conscience. How much dissent should we allow? 🤷
The criticisms are also the same: universalists warn heresy will destroy society as we know it, while particularists warn society has become thoroughly corrupt, both theologically and administratively.
And they still use the same tools: censorship by a conservative inquisition VS the free flow of radical information.

2024-08-08 08:50:00

Growing up in the '90s I remember being told a few things about migration, which was just getting started in large numbers:
1. We only let in as many as we can assimilate and will stop if it gets out of hand.
2. We only let in people whose life is in real danger in their home countries.
3. They will need to adapt to our customs, not the other way around.
4. Second generation migrants are very well integrated, third generation are basically Lutheran liberals.
5. Migrants want to be like us and if they don't it's because we're still a bit racist.
This all seemed very reasonable. Voters bought it too, because they kept voting in favor of these policies. Only the truly far right warned that it wouldn't work out that way, but they were literal Nazis (that word used to mean something). Besides, the outcome was anyway future us' problem.
But in the '00s, the story slowly began to change. It was no longer about assimilation but multiculturalism, and how great it is. And frankly, this also sounded quite reasonable to me:
1. Diversity is great, just look at the food options.
2. It doesn't matter how or why they came, they are here now.
3. If you don't like their customs you're just being islamophobic.
4. Some migrants are integrating really well, just look at this anecdote.
5. Everyone should be proud of their own culture, except us (lest you're racist)
In hindsight, there was some apathy in this change. Less than a conscious shift in narrative, we collectively rationalized what had already come to pass. So while voters showed increased concern, they stuck with the parties and policies that got them there.
Then some really bad things started to happen. Murders over caricatures. A wave of terrorist attacks. A dramatic rise in rapes. Regular bombings in peaceful places. Racially motivated grooming. Exploding social expenditures. Gangs and stabbings.
But most concerning it became taboo to suggest that any of this had any connection to migrants. And they kept coming in ever larger numbers. Many seeking family reunification, bringing even more. Past us miscalculated.
By the '10s, this last fact brought a true racial element to the situation, as the change became so visible on the streets that the echoes of the promises from the '90s seemed to some as a cruel trick.
Old conspiracy theories about some great replacement were thus granted subtle credence, making the unreasonable reasonable.
Tragically, this trapped large numbers of migrants who worked hard to integrate and build a better life here in a web of general suspicion. Increasing suspicion harmed integration exacerbating issues increasing suspicion.
And continuing in the '20s, new migrants kept coming much faster than we could break this vicious cycle, fertilizing the seed of conflict we see budding this summer.
So what now? Pray the seed never blooms and go in peace.
There is no way to return to the past without a fundamental break with the core of our own culture - rule of law, basic liberties, human rights. And then what would it all be for. Besides, the past had plenty of forgotten flaws. Careful what you wish for.
But it also seems unlikely we will be able to move into the future without challenging many of the same values. People are being arrested as you read this for speaking their mind in the UK. Many more are afraid to speak their mind. Perhaps for the best.
Because in the end we will have to live together. And remember that the vast majority of us still do so in harmony. So let's not harbor any fantasies about the past, even if we don't know what to do about the future (other than make babies and stack sats).
To quote the Bible: "Don't be afraid". There must be love.
I don't have any better answers, nor did I write this to offer any. I just wanted to share how I've truly experienced these changes as part of the "native" European generation that grew up with them. I don't know any other world.
At best it's valuable context, at worst I hope some can relate.

I dreamed I saw Satoshi last night
Alive as you and me
Says I to Sat "You're ten years dead"
"I never died" says he
"I never died" says he
Cantillionaires attacked your work
They smeared it with their lies
Says he "But they could never kill
What they could not compromise
I never compromised"
"Though fashions change and critics sneer
The code that I have spun
Runs just as true tonight as then
The timechain carries on
The struggle carries on"
When songs of freedom ring out loud
From valleys and from hills
Where people stand up for the truth
Satoshi's with us still
Satoshi inspires us still
(Sing to melody: Joe Hill)

There are several. Nordbahnhof is interesting because it's been recommissioned since the fall of the Wall, but you can still clearly tell that it was abandoned for 40 years. It feels like it carries the legacy of at least three different Berlins. Although it's unremarkable in every other respect.
I also like the reopened Heinrich Heine station, because it used to be in the death strip and now it's the arrival gate for KitKat, Berlin's best sex-positive club.

2024-05-26 13:17:07

Do you know why Berlin is one of the few cities with no curfew? 🤔
In 1949, with the cold war it's infancy, Berliner Hanz Zellermayer convinced the Allied authorities that closing the bars too early was bad PR for the free world.
Legend has it that Zellermayer brought a bottle of whisky and kept the French and Americans drinking until they agreed that there should be no closing hours.
The British tried to intervene, but to no avail. Berlin's curfew was scrapped forever and the world's greatest night life was born.
So stick it to the commies by joining our after hours program at #TheBitcoinMeetup 😎

URGENT: An offer of FREE marketing for ALL #Bitcoin-only companies 👀
Berlin is hosting a street art race for bitcoiners, 6-9 June. We will be decorating the areas around 21 landmarks with all kinds of #Bitcoin branding. But we have far more signups than expected, so urgently need more materials than we already collected! 🙏
We therefore invite ALL #Bitcoin-only companies to send us as many stickers etc. as they can before the event. Other merch/deco is also very welcome 🤗
We will include whatever you send, including your brand and message, in the materials participants will use to decorate, giving you wide exposure at key locations 🗼
The event is a little more than two weeks away, so please be quick if you want to seize this opportunity!
DM me for address (sponsors are also welcome) 🏠

What is #Bitcoin, is it good and is it beautiful? 🤔
If #Bitcoin has a philosophy, Oslo Freedom Forum covers morality, #TheBitcoinMeetup aesthetics, and @npub167n…zu3r epistemology.
That's why June in Europe is a pilgrimage for anyone who understands that #Bitcoin is much more than just money.
Join us in Berlin for FREE, 6-9 June:

Yes I'm probably guilty of that too. Much of my content is directed at a broader audience, so it's tempting to just duplicate.

#TheBitcoinMeetup
Freedom is an Art
A FREE and OPEN #Bitcoin street celebration. Witness how the rubble of War and the shadow of the Wall transformed into Freedom's most iconic canvas. And leave YOUR mark.

WHAT IS IT
#TheBitcoinMeetup is not just another meetup. Nor is it a conference. It's a full weekend #Bitcoin street art burn - where every pleb is an artist.
There are no tickets, and anyone can contribute. Bring friends and family.
You don't need code to leave a legacy!
https://image.nostr.build/9f515e3148a2a18f90edbd15a555c508613feeeb7b800f7ff59f9c3a1a29c521.jpg
WHAT WE'LL DO
The highlight of #TheBitcoinMeetup is the #Bitcoin Street Art Race, but you can't miss the German Dirty Coin premiere, UNESCO Night Life, Themed Meetups, Art Gallery, Kickoff Dinner and more.
A #Bitcoin experience like no other.

STREET ART RACE
We will bring #Bitcoin to 21 landmarks in 3 days!
Plebs get stickers, stencils and paint. They race to collect landmarks in 3 rounds, each taking a full afternoon across the whole city. Winners receive original artwork.
Sightseeing with a glorious purpose ☀️
https://image.nostr.build/f64cfdcaafefa2abe901800ea8bea29f450d824ae9802739a0cf5c0ed350b985.jpg
WHERE WE'LL BE
Our HQ will be at Holzmarkt 25, a big riverside village with a view of the Berlin skyline. Our Workshops, Art Gallery and Themed Meetups will take place here. It's also our daily starting point for the Street Art Race.
Accepts #Bitcoin in the cafe.

WHAT YOU NEED
Good shoes for walking around the city. Instruments to jam. Stickers or stencils to add. Anything you'd like to gift. Expect warm weather, but be prepared for surprises.
For the nightlife, no jeans or sneakers - when in doubt, go black.

WHERE TO STAY
The best place to stay is near HQ, but public transport in Berlin is excellent. Stay along the U8 subway or the S3/S5/S7/S9 overground for easiest access. Bolt (not Uber) is also quite affordable here.
Note: Berlin is hosting Euro 2024, so book asap.

HOW TO HELP
#TheBitcoinMeetup has no tickets. No major sponsors. No big organisation behind it. All we have is you and me. And that's more than money can buy.
Every experience here is a gift from another pleb. What's yours?
Open source EVERYTHING.

I can't remember the last time I talked to a millennial who didn't self-diagnose as either ADHD, autism or both. I'm serious.
Is it possible that there's nothing wrong with our brains? 🤔
My theory is that the traits we associate with these conditions simply proliferate in bad environments, until they cause their reform or collapse.
Sort of like an immune response.

The #2 question I get about #TheBitcoinMeetup is: what about the nightlife? 🕺💃
Berlin is famous for it's unique club culture, which has deep roots back to the Fall of the Wall. It is hard to describe, as there is nothing comparable anywhere else in the world. But I cannot tell you how often I've heard "I hated clubs until I came to Berlin."
Even UNESCO recognises our scene as world heritage.
That's why our program never starts until 11am the next day and there is nothing to attend until 3pm. We will also guide you to avoid lines and ensure entry.
See you in Berlin, 6-9 June! 🤩

Berlin is poor, but sexy. No one here is impressed by your hedge fund or your yacht. So if you want to be a real pleb, grab your spray can and take to the streets.
Inspired by the work of @npub1h5c…0yp0 and Berlin's unique history with street art, and supported by @npub186k…9hv0 and the @npub1lws…y86j art collective, #TheBitcoinMeetup is a FREE and OPEN summer celebration of #Bitcoin art and culture.
Every experience at #TheBitcoinMeetup is a GIFT from other bitcoiners, whether it's music by Roger 9000 or workshops by TwentyTwoHW. The highlight is our three-day #Bitcoin street art race - win original artwork gifted by local and #Bitcoin artists.
Thank you to everyone preparing to contribute and especially to @npub1f9t…ywlg for gifting some sats to get this event going 🧡

Not everything is about money, sovereignty is also an art. That's why we're so excited to announce Roger9000 as our first headliner for #TheBitcoinMeetup 🔥😎
The Music of Roger9000 is the fusing of deep meditation with based electronics and a roller coaster ride of visuals all wrapped up into the mythology and cycles of the Time Chain, Satoshi and #Bitcoin. A welding of ancient and modern textures which needs to be experienced live.
The performance is a 🎁, as are all experiences at our FREE and OPEN street event in Berlin, June 6-9. Reach out you have a gift to share, be it a performance, a workshop or help making TBM awesome.
By bitcoiners, for bitcoiners.

I'm not saying the West post-Covid is post-WWI Germany writ large, but if you catch the same fever, you get the same symptoms.
My highlights, full text attached:
"There were few in any class of society who were not infected by, or prey to, the pervasive, soul-destroying influence of the constant erosion of capital or earnings and uncertainty about the future."
"From tax-evasion, food-hoarding, currency speculation, or illegal exchange transactions - all crimes against the State, each of which to a greater or lesser degree became for individuals a matter of survival - it was a short step to breaching one or other of the Ten Commandments."
"No people could be expected to remain unconcerned while huge profits and riotous luxury were ostentatiously being enjoyed by the few. Corruption bred corruption, and the Civil Service caught the infection even in the war years. Counterfeiting was widespread."
"As the old virtues of thrift, honesty and hard work lost their appeal, everybody was out to get rich quickly, especially as speculation in currency or shares could palpably yield far greater rewards than labour."
"For the less astute, it was incentive enough, and arguably morally defensible, to play the markets and take every advantage of the unworkable fiscal system merely to maintain one’s financial and social position."
"Not to be able to hold on to what one had, or what one had saved, little as it worried those who had nothing, was a very real basis of the human despair from which jealousy, fear and outrage were not far removed."
"The air of corruption in business, politics, and the public service, then, was general."
From 'When Money Dies' by Adam Fergusson
