There can be enough space for men to be masculine and women to be feminine, without rejecting and ostracizing people who don’t vibe with either category. Embrace who you are. If someone rejects that, they can fuck off.
This is true for men in the context of (whichever type of) feminism that rejects masculinity. This is true for women in the face of being pressured to work (or being pressured into motherhood). It’s true for trans people in a world that denies their lived experience.
Indigenous cultures often acknowledge (and respect) an alternative way of identifying oneself, and neurobiological studies show significantly different brain activity and hormones in people who feel different inside vs out.
I have never experienced this feeling, and it would be arrogant to claim that I know much about it.
But I know what it feels like to be a man. It means confidence and standing tall, but that’s very different from abusing your power.
It means respecting (and protecting) the lives and experiences of people around me. It means respecting women’s power, and weakness. It means acknowledging my own strengths and flaws, ones that I share with many of my brothers. Being grounded in masculinity means holding space for the differences between us.
The culture war bullshit is, indeed, bullshit. And pendulums will always swing. But my hope is that, as we move closer to equilibrium, more of us will learn to abide in compassion, and become able to listen without immediately believing OR rejecting the views of those around us, and bring more Light into the lives of those around us. We’re all conditioned by our environment, and it can take immense effort to unravel that conditioning and experience the world for what it is.
I believe in human goodness - it’s why I Bitcoin. It’s why I’m here on Nostr.
But we have a long way to go.

I know people aren’t fans of seeing X content on here, but this is too insane not to share… WTF is wrong with Europe? — “The dangers of A.I. are abstract for many people, but for me, they are very real.
In two weeks, I face years in prison because the government used an A.I. tool on a groupchat I was allegedly a member of and which was literally called "shitposting".
Their A.I. tool gave every message a 'toxicity score' and concluded most of the messages were toxic.
One of my alleged messages was "Some cultures are inferior, backwards cultures that still practice Female Genital Mutilation, for example". This message got a 100/100 toxicity score and 100/100 for sexism and 100/100 for racism. Yes, this was considered sexist by the A.I. (a punishable offence in Belgium)
Almost all of the messages the A.I. bot concluded to be 'toxic', are completely wrong. Every sentence that included "an African" was deemed racist, for example. Every sentence with "leftist tears" got 100/100 toxicity.
I (allegedly) quoted a black journalist who said something racist, but the A.I. bot does not understand this and attributed the quote to me, adding to the 'total toxicity score' that got me 1 year in jail and a 16.000 EUR fine.
There is no serious way to defend yourself against this, as the Public Prosecutor will use the 'Total Toxicity Score' as his 'evidence', instead of going over all the supposedly toxic quotes.
The Public Prosecutor's definition of 'shitposts' is also crazy: "Shitposts are deliberately insulting messages ment to provocate".
My appeal is next week.”

The tragedy of the commons is not solved by a consensus on rulers. It is solved by a consensus on rules. When a king establishes order, it is only because his rules, which the monarchists have assented to follow, are simple and more functional than the prior order.
As an anarcho-capitalist, I assent firmly to the NAP. As a bitcoiner, I additionally assent to rules communicated and enforced in part by my Bitcoin node. These rules are enforced by rational actors on the Market who agree, as well as by actors who effectively agree, that is, who carry out actions that assist with the goal, even if they are not directly intending that same goal. They may be intending something similar or something else entirely, may have no concept of libertarian property rights.
Yes, even people who are not full-blown libertarians help to enforce the NAP even more than they carry out actions that work against it. The Market provides, and can lend itself to consensus on information, including information regarding property rights and property rules/contracts/ownership.

"The advent of the printing press inflated the supply of heretical arguments so dramatically that even the prospect of gruesome punishment ceased to deter would-be heretics."
#Bitcoin and #Nostr amplify that effect without constraint.

AI-generated response regarding e-commerce returns:
"Returns as a whole are a huge source of waste in the e-commerce industry, with some studies suggesting that in the United States alone, upward of 5 billion pounds of returned goods end up in landfills every year. A significant portion of those returns come from online retail—Amazon being one of the largest players.
Why so much waste? Many returned products (often low-priced or lower-quality items) are deemed unworthy of inspection or refurbishing because the handling and restocking can cost more than the item is worth. That calculation leads retailers to offload or destroy surplus goods rather than reintegrate them into the supply chain.
Meanwhile, e-commerce’s volume—especially in platforms known for massive product catalogs and fast delivery—means there’s a lot of “trial shopping” and impulse buying. This results in higher-than-usual return rates. When the returned items are low-quality to begin with, they’re even less likely to be resold, compounding the waste problem."
We can do better.
