Reading great literature takes you out of time and, when done well, leads you to an encounter with both your own real authentic self and expands your capacity to encounter/understand/connect with the real authentic selves of others. It is a form of truth-seeking. The fiat world, by subjugating your time to the hamster wheel (and keeping you on it with inflation) and nuking your attention span with social media, valid consumerism, etc, distances you from yourself and makes it exceedingly difficult to encounter/understand/connect with the real authentic selves of others. In this way it’s anti-truth-seeking. One way to rebel (on the level of self) is to read great literature.

Friends, I just launched @Think Bitcoin Podcast. It’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for years. I believe we’re doing more than fixing the money. I think we’re embarking on a renaissance of art and culture with and through the soundness of bitcoin. This pod is for conversations about big ideas, about art and philosophy, literature and film. It’s about the art of living well and building beautiful things. It’s about architecting the kind of society we want to build on top of the solid ground that is Bitcoin. Conversations with bitcoiners on this mission. I humbly ask you to check it out, give it a follow, etc. I will start posting episodes on Nostr. The first two episodes, with @npub1dvuf...0pwx and @Trey Walsh , respectively, are already live. More dropping soon!
