Wall St. figured out what Bitcoin was awhile ago.

Lutnick’s slime trail is your evidence.

They just didn’t tip their hats like we do.

Respect to their back door accumulation strategy.

They want our sats & will do anything to get them cheaply.

If you’re an INTJ you have a 1% chance of feeling understood.

So it’s best to find joy in not being understood.

I think the problem with nostr is we don’t know what it is. Some people think that’s a good thing. I understand that sentiment. I wonder though if it makes more sense to nail down — more fundame...

It does one thing perfectly which is bare the truth.

NOSTR getting compared to daily active users or in similar terms of digital adoption success, is directly proportional to how many people do the work to find truth vs want to be entertained.

The dominant medium of a culture acts as a metaphor for how the truth is established. In other words, what’s entertaining is true. So short form videos is what is truth for the masses.

It’s best to think of NOSTR as a weapon when needed for those that actually have any courage to stand up.

I personally don’t mind if another soul joins NOSTR. I like that the people here care about that and what I say can’t be fucked with.

From “Amusing Ourselves to Death”

“The clock,” Mumford has concluded, “is a piece of power machinery whose ‘product’ is seconds and minutes.” In manufacturing such a product, the clock has the effect of disassociating time from human events and thus nourishes the belief in an independent world of mathematically measurable sequences.

Moment to moment, it turns out, is not God’s conception, or nature’s. It is man conversing with himself about and through a piece of machinery he created.

In Mumford’s great book Technics and Civilization, he shows how, beginning in the fourteenth century, the clock made us into time-keepers, and then time-savers, and now time-servers. In the process, we have learned irreverence toward the sun and the seasons, for in a world made up of seconds and minutes, the authority of nature is superseded. Indeed, as Mumford points out, with the invention of the clock, Eternity ceased to serve as the measure and focus of human events.

And thus, though few would have imagined the connection, the inexorable ticking of the clock may have had more to do with the weakening of God’s supremacy than all the treatises produced by the philosophers of the Enlightenment; that is to say, the clock introduced a new form of conversation between man and God, in which God appears to have been the loser.

Perhaps Moses should have included another Commandment: Thou shalt not make mechanical representations of time.
