If there is one thing I learned in life is that humans love to control and manipulate other humans. It can be by force, by faith or by emotional appeal.

It happens in all governments, all markets, all religions, inside companies, between friends, in the internet, among family members, etc. Even libertarians love to tell you how you should live your life, with consequences if you don't.

Life is a constant struggle to be who you and only you want to be.

Have you tried it at least? It's the best! It's good because you don't have to look at the ugliness inside.

True what you say. Aggression is the norm in the statist society. BTW... Someone who calls himself "libertarian" not always will be a libertarian. A libertarian will never use force or fraud aiming to tell you how you should live your life, as long as you are not an agressor. If you live your li...

Evolution wasn't fooling around when it did that. We have to be careful when we say that the way we ought to be is a way which, had we been that way in the past, our species would never have made it to this point.

Man a social animal. There is manipulation but people also seek guidance from other people.

I don't think control and manipulation is the objective. People just want to see other people lives improve by the same mechanics that improved theirs.

Being on your own is scary and dangerous. We don't have claws and teeth, we can only survive in groups.

Narratives give meaning to our lives and we love to share them and form communities around them. The sharing is a core part of our identity. Why are we posting on nostr at all if group interactions are mostly a struggle to free ourselves from deceit? At the same time, no two persons have exactly th...

Only strong individuals can be who they are. Individuals who don't cuck to corruption be it financial, cultural or moral. Bitcoin gives people Freedom. Bitcoin Knots defends it.

Don't forget appeal to authority. Core devs and their supportes do this daily. The most egregious example being the classic "letter signed by the experts" manipulation tactic.

So... have you accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior? https://media.tenor.com/bUQjtlCyIXQAAAAC/asking-for-a-friend-just-curious.gif

Sounds like a threat to our democracy

Is true. But in the end it is still my decision, if I do my actions to please everyone else or to please me. An every thing inbetween. Only the uncautious falls into a trap of automating these thoughts. But every time we get contious we can decide to make new decisions.

I firmly believe that the future should be decentralised. That if control structures should still exist they should be much smaller & more limited. I don't know how we get there other than through attrition & the eventual collapse of those larger structures. What I struggle with is embracing the c...

The hardest thing I've found is studying myself. If it wasn't for covid lockdown, I would never have considered it. 1. Health. 2. Mental wellbeing. 3. Who to trust. 4. My values. 5. Building a knowledge base. 6. Connecting with those who embraced Bitcoin Protocol. 7. Joining Nostr. This has enable...
