What is your relationship with the truth? This is not an ivory tower theoretical angels on the head of a pin question. Your relationship with truth determines your relationship with everything else. Most people at least publicly say that they want the truth and seek after it. If you don't profess that, it's hard for anyone to trust you. And without trust, it's really hard to have any sort of relationship. Yet for most people, power is the priority. When prioritized, it's a nihilistic Neitzchean value, and it can be effective. But it's also highly destructive and sociopathic. Admitting to such is not going to win you friends. So the modern values system tends to be lip service to truth while pursuing power. We can see it all around us with politicians, CEOs, journalists and academia. Pretty much any centralized organization where power is in the hands of a few have at the top one or more people that pursued power to get there. Power is seductive. And it's easy to see why people pursue it. But to do so at the expense of truth, where truth becomes secondary destroys, not just these people's souls but the organization that they create. Ill-gotten power doesn't last.
Children are the ultimate flex.
Centralized platforms are rulers, whose rules change on whim and enforced arbitrarily. Decentralized protocols are rules, which are consistently applied.

The x-rays of Kennedy's head were doctored. They did that to hide the clear exit wound at the back of his head, which the entire medical staff testified to seeing when Kennedy got to the hospital. Why? Because an exit wound at the back of the head means that he was shot from the front and that means there was a second shooter. Just one of the many details of the Kennedy assassination that were clearly coverups.
The DNC had a mobile abortion and visectomy clinic for free. So they don't want children, but want to indoctrinate yours.
If you want to improve in an area, lower your time preference in that area. For example, if you want to lose weight, you need to have low time preference eating habits. That means eating will be kinda boring at first. That's generally a good sign. If something is exciting all the time, it's likely very high time preference.
We're now a commodity. There's a saying that's become a bit of a cliche at this point: If you're getting something for free, you're the product. Indeed, that's the case for a lot of free services online like Google, Facebook and Instagram. These are companies that sell your attention to advertisers, your data to analytics firms and your tendencies to propagandists. More to the point, there are lots more free things like TV and radio that have been selling the same for a long time. You are the product. What's concerning is that we're not being sold for advertising, but now for gambling. Sports these days is more about fantasy football and prop bets than it is cheering for your team. And nearly every crypto ad is about joining their casino. Even pay-to-play games are exploiting this dynamic, where getting us addicted is a lot more profitable than merely getting our attention. It's a whole new evil out there. Stop being someone else's commodity.
It saddens me to know that there are people so crippled with anxiety that they live their lives online. One of the things COVID took from us is a sense of communal living, where people did stuff together and that was fun. It used to be a deep human need. Now a generation gets anxiety thinking about engaging in it.
Musk is doing what he can with X. He's fighting government mandated censorship wherever it may be. Unfortunately, it only takes one loss to render the platform compromised. Given that many of these orders are secret and do not allow Musk to reveal them, it's possible that it's already compromised. In other words, it's only a matter of time before things get worse there. The future must be decentralized.
