GM nostr and GN mempool.space

Odd question, what can one do besides stack sats, focus on your craft, build a family and advocate market anarchism, in terms of working towards ending institutionalized sex slavery? I feel like those things are pretty much the answer to everything. Wondering about any specific actions though.

War, full blown slavery, inescapable taxes - these are very pressing matters and I'm really damn tired of them. Maybe just raise awareness? Support Slave2Nothing?

https://youtube.com/watch?v=cqCudopAz64 ok I looked into it a bit. These guys are using bullshit pattern recognition and denoising algorithms on data that was faulty to begin with to "discover" those structures under the pyramids that they claim is there. No significant measurements were taken, as they lacked a useful source of ground vibrations, which is required to gather any reliable data whatsoever.

GN nostr!

Bitcoin network is so cool. In a low demand environment like this when the block subsidy is much smaller compared to total fees, like in like 3 halvings or more, we will see some miners begin to throttle their rigs or underclock them dynamically based on the total fees in the current block template they have to work on, which will cause short-term variations in the supply of block space, which will reduce transaction fee volatility a bit. The difficulty adjustment will keep long term supply of block space constant of course.

I watched a template for block 890202 start filling up under a meagre 55 transactions that had just entered the mempool after 890201 had barely filled up on confirmation. 55 transactions were in my mempool. That's it.

Holy shit the last couple blocks are partly empty!

Thoughts for statists and a reminder for libertarians:

There is a divine order to everything. Without perfect knowledge, who are we to arbitrate the use or conduct of another person's property, another person's body? In truth each of us has no right to do so, as there is no right for us to arbitrate anything outside of the Natural Law. To unilaterally determine another person's use of their body or legitimate property (of which their body is inextricably and most clearly always a part) is an intrusion, a vile usurpation. Every claim of rights to do so is a nullity in light of the Natural Law, and ought to be treated as such. I don't care about any moral arguments about "pro life" or "protecting the children" or "muh equity" or whatever. These ends, only in as much as they are legitimate, are compatible with the Natural Law. But to use means that deny the Natural Law will result in well-deserved failure. You cannot legislate the gay away. You cannot legislate the baby into existence. You cannot legislate prosperity into existence, and you cannot even legislate equal rights into being respected. If you are advocating for state-mandated conservatism or progress or reform of any kind, how about instead you shut up and focus on your family and yourself, as that is the real low hanging fruit of things you can put forward to improve society, or have a real, open, intellectually honest discussion with people who know things you don't know, which is literally everyone.

GM! The Constitution is unconstitutional. That is all. Peace ✌️🧡

Shame can lead one to despair, but the two are not identical. Shame is a signal that you might get ostracized for showing this or that thing publicly or with certain friends if they look down upon it. Despair is a signal that you might be completely fucked, public opinion or not. We should realize that there exist situations in which shameful things are the only course of action to take that will not lead to despair. Like being a greedy Bitcoiner. Think free 🤙

I'm so fucking good at stuff, but so fucking bad at showing it to people. It didn't help that a lot of people usually punished me/ignored me if I showed off my skills too much to people and no one taught me how to impress employers and get experience and network back when I was a teenager and really freakin' needed to start learning that stuff, in an economy that had extremely steep barriers to entry for newcomers thanks to minimum wage laws and inflation dynamics at the time.

I never focused on learning that stuff until I started to desperately need it in my late teens and early 20s when I finally realized I had to START learning, so I lagged like crazy and started to carry a major credit card debt burden. No one ever taught me. No one. With public school usurping so much of my time as a teen, though I craved getting a job at something like a newspaper route, I didn't pursue it actively as I would had either my parents encouraged me or my school gotten off my back with the endless drudgery of that particular form of slavery. I should have pursued it. The minute I knew I wanted it, I should have brought it up and not been shy.

Does anyone else alternate between joy at the level of skills and maturity they have reached and despair at the lack of opportunity available to them on the market, or more precisely, lack of understanding of how to access what opportunities are there that they don't see? Because that's what I've got going on. I know it is my responsibility to find a job, even though I do not have the capability yet to find and achieve a position that offers rewards worth the sacrifice. Everything I apply to falls flat, and I find myself entirely unable to understand what I need to position myself ahead, and also unable to determine what the most economical job opportunity is, as I have so many interests and every choice effects my options into the future. With the incredible scarcity of my time and available jobs, I feel immense pressure to get this right. So I take my time discerning what options are best, and apply only to those. Casting a wide met and getting a shit job, I've been there and done that and gotten that experience, and I find investing all of what little resources I have into personal growth and independent study to be a better course of action than that. Is this wrong??

GM! You know how I can tell that the average politician uses not more than one or two brain cells? Every time they consider finally getting rid of daylight savings time changes, they draft a bill to make it permanent DST instead of standard time. These assholes can't even be intellectually honest when they're working on something legitimate.

Who are the chief backers of Trump? Are they just lower time preference corpos that legitimately only want to profit and keep their wealth and maintain some level of private property laws so that they can do so? Or is it something more nefarious, privilege for a different faction of corps and insurgents that are out for political power? A hefty amount of both?

My guess is a lot of both.

By Ross Ulbricht, 2020

From the light of freedom to a concrete tomb, The fall was great and swift. My soul cried out in a mighty boom, How could it come to this?

Clamped down, trapped stuck, Paralyzed in a tiny cage. Had fate left me not a drop of luck? Was there reason for this rage?

Told to lay down and die, Something deep inside me stirred. I can’t be caged I have to fly! Not yet am I interred.

They can take my body, tie me down, It matters not a bit. My spirit still runs wild and free, So in freedom here I sit.

I love freedom. I sure hope we start swinging towards less tyranny, not more.

"Private property anarchism is simply consistent liberalism" - Hans-Hermann Hoppe

Just read Hans-Hermann Hoppe's chapter on the classical liberal tradition's inconsistencies. I've been saying it for 2 years, the only consistent way to be a classical liberal is to be an anarcho-capitalist. It's nice to hear someone spell it out so precisely.
