If you get a chance to have a conversation or podcast with @Jake Woodhouse don’t pass it up. We dove into freedom and free will, concepts that feel more urgent than ever in this moment. Here’s what struck me during our conversation. True freedom isn’t just about removing external constraints. It’s about reclaiming agency over our choices, our money, our information, our attention. Free will becomes meaningful only when the systems we operate within don’t predetermine our outcomes. We’re living through a time when the boundaries between choice and coercion are blurring. When algorithms decide what we see, when monetary policy decides what we can save, when platforms decide what we can say, are we really free? Or are we operating within an illusion of choice? This conversation reminded me why Nostr matters. It’s not just a protocol. It’s a statement about who gets to control the infrastructure of human connection and thought. Bitcoin does this for money, Nostr does it for communication.

Physical fitness is political. It’s part of the stack. Sound money, free speech, physical capability, independent thinking. All of it together makes you harder to capture.

People have real disagreements about values, priorities, and how to live. That’s normal and healthy. But look at the scale and intensity of division now versus 20 years ago. It’s not proportional to actual policy differences, it’s amplified by systems that profit from it.

The cruelest irony is that young you had infinite energy and wasted it staying up for no reason. Now my body sends me a full invoice for every missed hour. Sleep debt used to be a suggestion, now it’s a loan shark with brass knuckles. gm​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​☕️☕️

New album “Beautiful Devastation” is on all major platforms now. Although I’d prefer you use a V4V protocol for those zaps!! Give me some feedback please.

Gm Nostr. ☕️ Freedom isn't about doing what you want, it's about not needing what everyone else is addicted to. Now go crush today and I’ll catch y’all in a bit. PV.

We have one chance to raise our children well. Don’t let them drift through formative years distracted by the chaos and empty promises of their generation. Be intentional. Be present.
