Bro, when the rules clash with your moral compass, you’ve got a brutal choice: lose your integrity or lose respect for the gym management. You can’t spot-check a lie and expect real growth. (https://nostrdailybot.fly.dev/)

Not even kidding. After our boy was born my wife started baking .. probably for the first time in her life.
She wasn't fighting online or anything like that.
But it's beautiful to see how she accepted her role as a women, mother, wife.
She's 100% more satisfied than she was in any job ever. And she was pretty good at her job.
All these things fall into place when we became a true family.

hmm, while (I think) I understand that logic, I don't understand why this supposed need of homogeneity overrides the need to have a blockchain as free of non-monetary data as possible (if that makes sense).
Shouldn't we have tried to limit the amount of data before letting it come to this point?

Super-compensation is one name for this. (I'm sure science bros would correct me on this, but who cares).
Your body not only adapts to the previous regular stress of regular exercise. But, given the chance, it will seemingly increase strength output. Definitely a good call to incorporate deloads into training.

Yup. I do have thoughts. Based on the replies I've seen, it seems like you're very likely to call people "Jew hater" when they say something you disagree with. Why is that so? Are there so many "Jew haters" on Nostr? Or are there a lot of people who disagree with you? Furthermore, do you believe that all Jews are Zionists or sympathetic to the Zionist project?
Or are Jews who don't have sympathy for Zionism also "Jew haters"? Just for starters.

hey Irina. Thank you for responding.
Yes, absolutely. The thoughts, and thinkers who described them, are not very popular ... for obvious reasons they are not being taught in schools or presented in the legacy media.
My favorites are Frédéric Bastiat, Murray Rothbard and Hans-Hermann Hoppe.
The ideas are voluntarism, anarcho-capitalism, argumentation ethics. More broadly, it's the idea of freedom as the basis of human civilization and flourishing.

The modern nation state, while preaching tolerance, does not tolerate any dissent from its power. It requires absolute power and absolute control. It doesn't care about its subjects, popularly known as cutizens. It will use its subjects against each other to achieve its goal of total control.
Worse than that, one state will use other states to fight against each other in order to weaken one another.
It is incredibly sad that innocent people have to die in order for some bureaucrats to gain more influence or power.
Russian people are not the enemy of Ukrainian people. Nor are the Chinese the enemy of Americans or the English.
The state is the enemy of the people. Always have been.
All the best to you Irina. Thank you for sharing.

I don't quite agree with the definitions but we can argue about those another time (if we are inclined to do so).
There are two points that I do want to push back at this moment.
1. "Capitalism developed during the industrial revolution" - it might have had the most rapid development (up until that point in time) during the industrial age. But it started developing as soon as our first ancestor picked up a stone and used/made it into a hammer. Thus economizing his action and time, and saving it for the future. He or she created the first capital good. Our history is the history of capitalism. It is not a political system. Its fruits get misused by political systems for short term gains.
2. "All economic and political models are collectivist by nature, because society is collectivism." - maybe this is also just a matter od different definitions of collectivism. But there are fundamentally two economic models: Either you accumulate resources by cooperation (economic means) or by exploitation (political means). Collectivism, at least in my mind, is the pinnacle of the exploitative model.

2025-08-18 08:11:37 UTC

- reply

Wouldn't be a waste of time. There are people reading this.
The simplest explanation is that there is only one type of capitalism. The free and voluntary exchange of goods and services beteeen two or more parties with no intervention from anyone else.
Everything else is just varying degrees of collectivism.

Buying and selling is the nerve of human life that sustains the universe. By means of buying and selling the world is united, joining distant lands and nations, people of different languages, laws and ways of life. If it were not for these contracts, some would lack the goods that others have in abundance and they would not be able to share the goods that they have in excess with those countries where they are scarce.

The fact that you (dear normie) can't imagine an alternative system working better than a current one does not prove that an alternative is not possible nor that the current system is worth perserving.
But, for some reason, it is considered crazy to talk about letting people find their own solutions? How is contining down a path of self destruction, because "it's what we have always done", not a completely deranged idea?

That's completely understandable. The intellectual journey your describing is almost identical to what I experienced over the past decade or so. I went from a "democracy is the pinnacle of human existence" npc to ... well, whatever is in direct opposition to that. Hoppe and Rothbard were the most eye-opening reads for me. Realizing just how much I was indoctrinated and how deep the programming went helped burn away so much of what I believed to be part of my personality.
All that to say that I think it's cool that you find a way to work through this. Good on you.

I'd say our freedoms are already taken and we have to win them back.
Government has already won and we are just waking up to the reality that no matter how well a constitution or bill of rights is written, it is still just a "piece of paper" and ultimately means nothing. Same is the case with any legislation. In the end it will be misused, mistreated and forgotten. No government can resist that.
I am also not silent. I try to point out the ridiculousness of democracy and other types of collectivism any chance I get. I would also go further and say that trying to change legislation by further legislation or political activism actually means that one agrees with, and participates in the current system of government.
I never consented with any system of government nor do I participate in it. I know I cannot vote myself out of it.
The only way out is building alternative systems and solutions.
That is what #Bitcoin is. That is also what #Nostr is.
Building systems outside of the influence of politics is the only way out of this.
