On my way from Seoul to Busan, by train. Trash in the seat pocket. No shade, but it's the little things that make Japan Japan, and Korea Korea...

I always start with the caveat that even when I agree with Peterson, I do not share the core of his message and fundamental views. That said, here's another one I can only applaud.

He says at one point that liberals and conservatives have been asleep at the wheel of the education system for 60 years.

I can attest that 30 years ago when I was about to go to uni in Catalonia, it was already well known and a recurrent joke that only the most useless, lunatic, radical communist potheads and drug addicts among us picked the Faculty of Teacher's Education. Mostly, that was one of the very few faculties they were able to enroll on at all with their terrible marks.

Once on campus, we kept laughing at them and joking about how while we were in the classroom, you could see them having their "classes" literally on a patch of grass singing songs and reading Marxist pamphlets.

In the meantime, they kept churning our teacher's diplomas and sending them to public and private schools alike...

And here we are now, when they have become one of the most powerful gangs and effectively run the school system autonomously from government, pushing their ideological drivel, and their incompetence, on everybody's children.

I think it's almost impossible to eradicate them from the public system, and the only way to mitigate the harm is to allow real parental choice. And even that is fought with a fury unlike any other and will be an uphill battle.

I mean, almost literally here, right? If you have no followers and create a new note, does anyone see it? But, this isn't all that much different than X, really. I've been active there since like 201...

If I understand the current state of X, based on what my friend who is a screenplay and novel writer and uses it for professional purposes (to get reach and be seen interacting with "the right people", as he admits), over there you get *actively* hidden unless you are a paid account AND have already a bunch of the "right" followers.

So factually speaking, Nostr is better for small individual accounts.

nostr is better period not healthy to break one's own brain in a tribalist cult

Yeah, I think so. I don't know the true paid/unpaid impact, but that seems to be the thinking. I'm a paid account over there... and not just to rank better, but I'm truly grateful for what Elon did (no matter his true motives). It was world-changing, so unless it gets really ruined someday, I'm a su...

I was looking for a good offer since last night. There was only some who were still trying at pre drop prices. But got lucky this am

The people that piss me off on Bisq are the ones offering small amounts, like 100 bucks or so. Some even have the balls to slap a fat % on top.

It's like people either can't do very basic math and don't figure out that with such small numbers the fees really add up and their offer is really stupid expensive, or they simply don't give a fuck. In both cases, I'll pass.

And today it's one of those days. I see many offers I could take - if I couldn't math.

Agreed the small offers are useless. Just wait until you mine more to sell. There’s no advantage for the buyer to take it

That viewpoint will be punished severely.

Which one? If you mean the Republicans being Republicans with the deficit, as they always have been (at least since Reagan), I agree. Their irrational spending habits will eventually cause a lot of pain.

If you mean somehow my point of view will be "punished", I don't even know what you mean. But in any case, IDGAF about the fiat price of BTC, except when I can buy cheaper. I have never sold one sat and I have zero interest in trading.

So I couldn't care less about what's going on these days, except that people on the P2P markets are unwilling to sell...

I found a nice juicy one on Bisq. Had to take it

Yeah. I think many people put others up on pedatals, whether it be one of a hero or to demonize them. There is nothing any human on earth can do to stop Bitcoin. It just is, at this point. I'll take the fiat lows as long as possible. I can never have enough. The lower the time preference the better...
