noteworthy notes
Here is some little known wisdom: if you practice one virtue, you actually grow in all of them. Same goes for vice.
Pointing out that Kamala is an idiot to people who already know that solves nothing. Maybe be this critical of your own Dear Leader.

People my wife knows are gushing about Kamala Harris because they think it’s fashionable. It’s like wearing a watch or saying your kid got into Princeton — something you do for social reasons.
That’s the extent of it. Politics as fashion for the consequence-insulated. (Or so they think.)
The tyranny will continue so long as those who claim to care about freedom simp for politicians. GN

This week in Clown World News: The anti-vax guy just endorsed the Operation Warpspeed guy. #honkhonk

nobody should be voting based on celebrity endorsement. absolutely. it's propaganda. but so are Trump's mocking nicknames, all his rallies and playing up the picture of him after he got shot. people should be having in depth conversations about the issues and expected performance by the candidates in the actual job of president. to get there, we should be at least more likely to push back on the manipulation coming from our own side than that of the other.

Sadly, liberty is not on the ballot, is it?
Is nobody gonna talk about how both Donnie and Bobby are anti-gun?

The fall of a culture into the control state is the result of the degeneration of elites, the erosion of the meritocratic values that drive everything. In the end, everyone will ask themselves again: how could it happen? How was it possible for a few degenerate political parasites to gain so much power that we ended up powerless?

C'mon Anon. You know deep down you wanna.
if you like being a good friend more than having them, you will have more.
Let's talk about "Derangement Syndrome":
Imagine if I pointed out the war crimes of George H. W. Bush and people told me I had Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Imagine if I pointed out the war crimes of Bill Clinton and people said I was suffering from Clinton Derangement Syndrome.
Imagine if I pointed to the many war crimes of George W. Bush and was told I had Baby Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Imagine if I pointed to the war crimes of Barack Obama and his supporters labeled me as Obama Derangement Syndrome.
Any honest person is willing to acknowledge the crimes of each of these individuals and the blood on their hands.
However, when I point out the crimes of Donald Trump his people choose to ignore reality and shout "Trump Derangement Syndrome".
This is what makes Trump's cult of personality unique. Sure, some of the others have hardcore followers who ignore reality, but none have followers with the hysteria and cognitive dissonance of Donald Trump's followers.
I stopped at an empty agricultural field today with my dog. The golden brittle summer heat scorched grass was disc scored, clumps of straw and dust. Hog weed and Russian thistle scattered sporadically, plants with chemical warfare and grit. To my full color binocular sight the scene was peaceful but plain, inspirational in the way a minimalist painting calms some embroiled part of the subconscious by failing to inspire the conscious mind while engaging it. To her, the scene was a video of Tokyo at night. She darted from place to place, nose to the ground, a tapestry of chronologically ordered events unfolding for her mind in olfactory stimulation impulses as visual clues present themselves to a large predatory cat, or the combination of sight and sound inspire an owl at night. I watched her for some time adventuring through the field. I wonder if at some point humans will be able to opt for augmentation to our senses. I wonder how the world will present with the ears of an owl, the nose of a canine, and the tactical response of a feline. The result seems as if it might be like having the resolution of our eyesight in every genre of sensation.
its astonishing how many things considered 'snack food' in the US are full of low level toxins.
No disrespect to Dr Paul, as he is the most honorable of politicians to ever live, but the liberty movement went wrong the exact moment a politician became worshipped by it. #ronpaulwasright without a doubt, but he was still a politician, and one man can never change DC.

They don’t care how absurd it is. They don’t care about second and third order effects. They don’t care about anything except stopping people from freely communicating. Every civilization from the dawn of time has had power rest in the hands of those in charge of communication. Language itself would be considered illegal under these cretins’ parameters. Free speech or tyranny. There is no middle ground.
YouTube bans accounts for no reason because they need you to fall on your knees and beg them to reinstate your account
Tech kings love when the serfs beg for their help, they need you to understand, you're a subject in their kingdom
Friendly reminder:
There is no such thing as hate speech.
There is speech.
And there is speech you hate.
There is no such thing as hate crime.
That is just a crime.
Hate is subjective. Do not let tyrants define it. Something we all love could easily be redefined as hate. Do not bend a knee to the slippery slope.
War against cryptography is still on.
War against math and code is still on.
FUCK THE SYSTEM.
Now they are making math illegal, you can't perform mathematical calculations on your phone, you need State's permission, wow
Anyone who thinks the government can be reformed or will ever be responsible or virtuous is exceptionally delusional.
"Hate Speech" is used by tyrants to silence those who dissent.

You decide what is best for you.
The person you will be in 5 years depends on:
• the food you eat
• amount of exercise you do
• how much sleep per day
• books or articles you read
• how much you write
• money you save and invest
• who you work with
• friends you spend time with
• new skills you develop
Some people like to say 'we are winning. What I want to know, what exactly are we winning? More laws? More regulations? More wars? More taxes? Less freedom? More inflation? More surveillance? A food supply that amounts to packaged poisons? Poisoned air? Poisoned water? So someone please explain to me where and how, humanity as a whole, is winning, and what we are winning, and in what manner the human condition is improving?

Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
As fiat money printing accelerates —> Bitcoin adoption accelerates.
As online censorship accelerates —> Nostr adoption accelerates.
As gun restrictions accelerate —> 3D printed gun creation accelerates.
Liberty will not so easily be squashed.
If you believe campaign promises from someone trying to do anything to get elected, you are a special type of stupid and likely should not be allowed to handle sharp objects or leave the house without a helmet.

NGU is a fiat mind virus. What that tells people is all you care about YOUR portfolio going up, so who cares that others are suffering from further currency debasement. You know who else thinks like that? The powers who ought not be. All they care about is their portfolios going up, and have no regard for the suffering that causes others. Your NGU because Their NGU. You are celebrating the financial destruction of the lower and middle classes, and the further destruction of the economy as a whole.

Talk is cheap. When the government comes kicking, you're life changes. That hill you said you'd die on becomes real because you're forced to stand on it. Then you look at your kids, your spouse, the life you built, their futures, your life dead or behind bars for something made up.
This isn't dramatic, those who've been there know that I'm talking about. These actions happen in silence "why cover it in the news, they were clearly breaking the law".
These are very real events you need to know so we can build more resilient systems. Don't let your hubris convince you that you're safe. Most of my friends think I'm insane for building the tools I do, in my last gig and now. They told me to get out while I can, go do something more mainstream so you can sleep at night. To me, I'd get worse sleep living a "normal life" wishing I did something more, took a risk maybe, stood up for something I believed in.
Consider our past: 6,000 years filled with wars, famines, epidemics, and relentless emotional suffering. Isn’t it time we reevaluate the principles that have guided our lives?
Just saw someone being really offended that some spokeshole from legacy media lied about some stuff again, like they do every day.
It feels strange and a bit sad to watch people allow liars and grifters to set the tone of their emotions and thoughts.
People getting deliveries for shit that’s less than 5 mins from their house. Idk it’s okay if ur drunk but damn
What is happening with Telegram is worth observing.
You’re watching France attempt a hostile takeover of an Internet platform using blackmail,
threats of violence, and imprisonment.
And for the discerning, you are seeing the true nature of the State.
Class systems are put it into place to secure the incumbent group's power forever
No chance for upward mobility, no competition, no innovation, no improvements
Just master, slave servitude
There are people that can afford freedom,they place themselves into positions of power and influence.
They start placing limits onto the people who can't afford their freedom.
Slow progress
is still progress
The trend of people in the so-called health freedom movement throwing their support to Warp Speed Donnie is quite a disturbing spectacle. How one can be opposed to the bioweapon yet support the guy who still will brag about it? This is peak Idiocracy. Its very sad. How can anyone take these glaring hypocrites seriously? And some of ya’ll have the nerve to make fun of Dems. But, as Ron White says…
This misses the point I am making. Doesnt matter what someone says online, What matters is what they do when put in a position that the decision MUST be made, then most fold. Many of my former co-workers didnt want to get it, some knowing how bad it is, and once they were told jab or leave, only 12 or 13 of us out of close to 100 stood our ground and were fired. And my roommate knew as well, but got it for her job. I witnessed first hand how little it means when most people say they will never get it. Threaten their job, or apply any sort of real pressure, and things change real fast. Its easy to say or do things when there is no consequence to so so. But very few know what its like to be forced into poverty for actually standing ground. Its not about fear of a bug or falling for propaganda. Its about folding when pressure is applied. Basically what I am getting at is people better be ready to say no and actually mean it in the real world, not just typing no in comment threads online. And they’re doing all this shit again, so people need to be ready for really tough decisions that may cause their income to go to zero. Its not just about the jab. Its about any policy that is put in place anywhere. Who is ready to lose a job over a covid test or a mask requirement, or for refusing to enforce either should their job require it?
My opinion is that human consciousness needs to evolve, not on an "intellectual" level but emotionally and spiritually before we're able to truly build something outside of the machine that doesn't wind up being the same thing, just adjacently (best case scenario) - however I believe that's entirely possible.
If we have people who are capable of collaborating with one another instead of parasiting from or dominating over one another- then I tend to go with anarchy, but that term is wildly misunderstood. People think it means chaos and no rules. It just means no rulers - no slaves, no masters. Of course a society needs to have central principles that bind it together - what that would be, there are so many options.
We also don't all need to be one giant blob of 330 million (speaking for this country alone) because how that many people could truly be bound by a primary philosophy is beyond me. Maybe we go back to NOT being such a global "society" and more locational - i dont know.
Regarding the exiting and building / voluntaryism / anarchist / agorist approach: I've seen this done successfully on a super micro scale, some use their faith, some use the principles of natural law, some don't have a title for it it's just basic common sense, so on a micro level I have seen it work tons of times - those societies are still parallel and working together.
On a larger scale though.. that much i am not sure about, hence my reference to a need for emotional and spiritual development / healing - even just basic communication skills and self-awareness would go a very long way when it comes to exiting and building our way out of this.
