What is life? TL;DR
Dostoevsky: It's hell. To Dostoevsky, life was a battle with the darkest parts of the human soul—a crucible of suffering where we confront our deepest fears and desires.
Socrates: It's a test. Life is the ultimate examination of virtue, wisdom, and truth. For Socrates, an unexamined life is not worth living.
Aristotle: It's the mind. Life is the pursuit of knowledge and reason—a journey to understand the world through logic, ethics, and metaphysics.
Nietzsche: It's power. Life is the will to power—a striving for self-overcoming and mastery of circumstances, rejecting complacency and embracing growth.
Freud: It's death. Freud saw life as a tension between the life instinct (Eros) and the death instinct (Thanatos)—a constant drive toward creation and destruction.
Marx: It's the idea. For Marx, life is shaped by material conditions and the ideologies that arise from them—a struggle to create a world of equality and justice.
Picasso: It's art. Life is creation—a canvas for painting our passions, emotions, and dreams, shaped by imagination and expression.
Gandhi: It's love. Gandhi believed life is rooted in nonviolence, compassion, and universal love—a journey toward peace and selfless service.
Schopenhauer: It's suffering. For Schopenhauer, life is ceaseless striving that inevitably leads to pain and dissatisfaction, tempered only by moments of beauty and art.
Bertrand Russell: It's competition. Life is shaped by human desires and ambitions—a balancing act between self-interest and collective progress.
Steve Jobs: It's faith. Life is trusting the process—taking risks and following intuition, even when the road ahead is unclear.
Einstein: It's knowledge. Einstein saw life as a quest to understand the universe's mysteries, driven by curiosity and awe.
Stephen Hawking: It's hope. Life is perseverance in the face of adversity—a belief in the future and the power of human ingenuity.
Kafka: It's just the beginning. Life is surreal and enigmatic, often absurd, yet always opening doors to transformation and possibility.
Camus: It's rebellion. Life is finding meaning in a meaningless universe, defying absurdity with courage and passion.
Thoreau: It's simplicity. Life is stripping away the unnecessary—embracing nature and living deliberately.
Rumi: It's a dance. Life is a spiritual journey—a rhythm of love and divine connection woven into every moment.
Kierkegaard: It's a leap of faith. Life requires embracing uncertainty and taking bold steps grounded in belief and authenticity.
Epicurus: It's pleasure. Life is about maximizing simple, lasting pleasures while minimizing unnecessary pain.
Laozi: It's harmony. Life flows like water—effortless and aligned with the natural order of the universe.
Confucius: It's virtue. Life is fulfilling roles with integrity, respect, and commitment to community and family.
Carl Jung: It's individuation. Life is integrating the conscious and unconscious—becoming whole and authentic.
Alan Watts: It's a game. Life is to be experienced and played with wonder—not taken too seriously.
Victor Frankl: It's meaning. Life is finding purpose, even in the most difficult circumstances, through love and service.
Simone de Beauvoir: It's freedom. Life is the power to define yourself and reject roles imposed by society.
Heraclitus: It's change. Life is constant flux—a river we step into once before it flows anew.
Hegel: It's progress. Life is a dialectical process, advancing through contradiction and resolution toward greater understanding.
Hobbes: It's survival. Life in its natural state is "nasty, brutish, and short," requiring systems to maintain order.
Rousseau: It's freedom in nature. Life is most authentic when we return to our natural state, free from societal corruption.
Marcus Aurelius: It's acceptance. Life is embracing the present moment with stoic resolve, guided by reason and virtue.
Seneca: It's preparation for death. Life is not about its length but its quality—teaching us to live well and let go gracefully.

Bitcoin gives you a lot more time to spend with the ones you love. This is alchemy.

How do you perceive the evolution of #money in the context of #Bitcoin?
Is #Bitcoin merely a #cryptocurrency, or does it represent a fundamental shift in how we understand #value and exchange?

This image was created by a Japanese neurologist.
It stays still when you are #calm. It begins to move when you experience a slight amount of pressure. It moves like a carousel when under a great deal of #stress.
How are you doing?

JFK admired Hitler for the correct reasons. I don't give af about declassifying the documents regarding his tragic death. The state had him killed because he wanted to fuck the federal reserve. There's no room for dialogue until the money is separated from the state. Opt out with bitcoin or feed the beast.

I've decided to switch my zap wallet to @CoinOS after having 2+ great years of getting zapped using nprofile1qqstu8vf099ljt09m4jvres0dgk8ps2q4wkfjvjp3lhrp3wxxllfg7gpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmw9ehkkvpwdaexwtcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6tcn9w35w.
For some reason zapping WoS addresses now takes longer & fails more often. I'm not sure if this is to discourage using WoS for micropayments but I'm not wanting to leave zaps on the table.
I'm hoping 1 day that Bolt 12 addresses will enable micropayments without needing a domain name.

Fighting with my kids to wear a coat when it's negative 14 degrees outside should not be a thing. Wear a fucking coat! Be warm. Be happy.

I walk outside everyday. I know a real fog and the recent ones are weird. There are particles in the air that are not natural

Legacy centralised #socialmedia is a digital #prison, a carefully constructed #cage where users are conditioned to seek permission and validation from their overlords.
It’s a cycle of #dependency, where the masses look to their captors—be it government or corporate leaders like Space Karen — to solve the very #problems they perpetuate.
When they stumble into spaces of true freedom like #Nostr, they’re bewildered, lost in the vastness of #autonomy.
It’s not that they can’t navigate; they’ve simply been programmed to be passive consumers, spoon-fed #content and controlled by algos that dictate their #thoughts and #actions.
This is a wake-up call!
The chains of #manipulation and #abuse are invisible but powerful.
Here on #Nostrville, we cultivate a #culture of #selfsovereignty, where we reject the #statusquo and embrace the #chaos of true #independence.
It’s time to break #free from the mental mental bonds and realise that the power to #create, #innovate, and #connect lies within us—not in the hands of those who profit from our #compliance.
Let’s #BUILD a future where #freedom reigns, unencumbered by the #toxic #legacy of the past!
