Most people are not ready for it and never will be.

The idealism *WILL* get blunted by repeated encounters with reality.

But it will also make you more effective if you take the right lessons from it.

We got these little orange fellas in town by now.

It is certainly curious (or maybe not, after all these years) how any pro-natalist message seems to get quickly buried by the algo on certain Social Media platforms.

If you don't promote self-destructive degeneracy - that's not what the algo overlords want the users to see.

Long Nostr.

In this house, we appreciate the arts.

9 kids from 4 different wives from 4 different continents. Family history traceable back hundreds of years to one of the early American settler families.

Freelancing as "Caoboi" or - depending on the season - Santa Claus, while building out a coffee chain that brings the flavor of real Vietnamese coffee to the American palate.

Possibly coming to a midwestern town near you soon?

What exactly is stopping you, anon?

The majority of people is not thinking enough about Bitcoin - and it shows.

Furthermore:

Generally, the majority prefers to outsource their thinking - and that shows too.

Which - again - might make you feel “superior” for a brief moment… until you realize what this really means for you:

That those who blindly trust in “authority” and the (perceived) majority opinion of the herd are willing to believe - and do - anything, no matter how irrational it may seem to you.

And we’ve been shown that, too, in recent years — with a vengeance.

And that should make you feel pretty anxious.

At which point you either tell yourself - for your own sanity - “it’s not that baaad” and try to deny this part of our shared reality...

Or you accept this circumstance - and do everything within your abilities to reduce the negative impact the crowd’s insanity might have on you and your inner circle.

Will it be enough?

Who knows.

But if you don’t even try - you’ve already lost from the get-go.

Remember the old tales of people in the Eastern bloc having to cook up dirt as "Ersatzschokolade"?



And real chocolate made out of cacao was only reserved for the privileged few with connections?

Yes, people in Western Europe used to make fun of it and found it quite unbelievable that people were forced to put up with it.

Well, that was in the latter half of the 20th century.

Fast forward to 2025 and the success of the combined wisdom of Berlin & Brussels economic planning make it possible to see a revival of that specific type of product.

"Raw materials right from your own region!"
"Good for the climate!"
"Vegan!"



At least back in the old Eastern bloc days, they did not have the audacity to sell the people on how their ongoing impoverishment and destitute is "akshually good for them" - and had at least the intention (albeit with misguided means) to improve the standard of living of their citiziens.




Meanwhile in Asia:



The good thing:

If you use & save in real money, you can afford real chocolate.

The people who use & save in fake money, will be forced to go for fake chocolate.

We all make our choices and will earn the results.

This is correct.

The sooner you start having kids, the sooner you start having a stake in the future beyond yourself.

The sooner you start having a stake in future, the sooner you start building for it.
