The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age by James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg: The book argues that the world is on the cusp of a major transformation, driven by the rise of the internet and information technology. This transformation will lead to the decline of the nation-state and the emergence of a new class of "sovereign individuals." Sovereign individuals are people who are able to live and work independently of any government or corporation. They have their own sources of income, their own security, and their own healthcare. They are not beholden to any one country or system, and they are free to move around the world as they please. The book describes the four stages of human society: • The Agrarian Age, which was based on agriculture and land ownership. • The Industrial Age, which was based on mass production and manufacturing. • The Service Age, which was based on the service economy. • The Information Age, which is based on information and knowledge. The book argues that the Information Age is fundamentally different from the previous three ages. In the Information Age, knowledge is the most important resource, and individuals are more powerful than governments or corporations. The book goes on to describe the challenges and opportunities that the Information Age presents. The challenges include the risk of government overreach, the rise of cybercrime, and the increasing gap between the rich and the poor. The opportunities include the ability to create new wealth, to live longer and healthier lives, and to connect with people from all over the world. The Sovereign Individual is a controversial book, but it is also a thought-provoking one. It offers a unique perspective on the future of the world, and it challenges us to think about how we can prepare for the changes that are coming. Here are some additional details from the book that you may find interesting: • The book predicts that the nation-state will become obsolete in the Information Age. • The book argues that individuals will increasingly be able to choose their own governments. • The book predicts that the rise of the internet will lead to a new global currency. ₿ • The book argues that the Information Age will be a time of great prosperity for those who are able to adapt to the changes. #nostr #bitcoin

“What I'd like you to consider is that whether you fight with a #woman might have more to do with you than you might realize. Just like #women can be disrespectful to men without realizing it, and as I've said, it's their responsibility to stay on the sunny side of the unbreakable rule, men can be antagonistic without realizing it. And it's your responsibility to clarify your tone when speaking with a woman. I'm using the word clarify in the sense of clean-up, I'm advising you, #men, to remove every hint of annoyance or aggravation or judgment or any negative emotion from your #communication with women. Let me explain: one way to think about women is that they are incubators, whatever you give them they will MAGNIFY & REFLECT, again MAGNIFY & REFLECT. THAT FEMININE NATURE.” ~ Dr. Orion Taraban.

#SaudiArabia has completed its first international #bond issuance of $12 billion in 2024. The issuance was oversubscribed 2.5 times, with investors from around the world showing strong demand for Saudi debt. The issuance is part of the Kingdom's strategy to diversify its funding sources and attract foreign investment. It also reflects the confidence of international investors in Saudi Arabia's economy. The issuance is divided into three tranches, with maturities of 6 years, 10 years, and 30 years. Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC Holdings, and Standard Chartered are managing the transaction. The world of capitalism will never learn the lesson from the failed product called BONDS. #nostr #bitcoin

These pervert are the one who switched off Sudan from the World Wide Web and isolated it completely from the world till this day Sudan suffer from it. The United States implemented sanctions on Sudan under President Bill #Clinton in the late 1990s. These sanctions were primarily due to concerns regarding human rights violations and support for international terrorism. IN AUGUST 1998, Joe #Biden supported the U.S. bombing of a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan as well as a farm in Afghanistan allegedly used by Osama bin Laden as an Al Qaeda training site. The Clinton administration justified the strikes as a response to Al Qaeda’s bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania earlier that month. “Operation Infinite Reach” represented the first time the U.S. acknowledged taking a preemptive military strike and was a policy precursor to the borderless war strategy that President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney would promote after the September 11 attacks. “I want to applaud and thank the president for being willing to take this action,” Biden said after the strikes. While the Clinton administration claimed that the Al Shifa pharmaceutical plant was being used by Al Qaeda to potentially make the lethal nerve agent VX, that claim was later widely agreed to be based on faulty intelligence. The bombing of the factory had dire consequences, as it manufactured an estimated half of all drugs in Sudan, including vital anti-malaria medications. “I do think it was the right move at the right time,” said Biden. The strikes occurred as the investigation into Clinton’s lies about his affair with a former White House intern intensified, and some analysts said the attack was intended to distract from the scandal. Biden retorted that any alleged connection between the two was “malarkey, pure politics.” He chided reporters, saying, “Does it make it harder for you guys to keep dwelling on Monica Lewinsky? It breaks my heart that you aren’t going to be able to talk about it for the next 24 hours.” ****Joe Biden “the sniffer” applauded Bill Clinton’s bombing of a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan that was justified by relying on DUBIOUS intelligence as well as a strike in Afghanistan.**** The United States claimed that the Shifa Pharmaceutical factory in Sudan was linked to the production of chemical weapons and was associated with Osama bin Laden's network. However, there was significant controversy and debate surrounding the evidence provided by the U.S. about the factory's alleged involvement in manufacturing chemical weapons. The Sudanese government denied these accusations, and there were criticisms from some international quarters regarding the evidence and justification for the attack on the factory. IT WAS JUST A BIG COVER UP FOR CLINTON PERVERT BEHAVIOR. youtu.be/1Hq_brdMDcs?si… #nostr

Peter conducted a Spectrum Street Epistemology exercise in Hampstead Heath, London, with philosopher and author Nina Power and cultural critic and polymath Carl Benjamin. During the exercise, they discussed controversial claims on various socio-political and cultural topics. Although Nina and Carl have appeared on Peter's channel before, this was their first Spectrum Street Epistemology episode. I highly recommend watching it. #nostr

‏"في الواقع، هناك سبب وجيه جدًا لوجود البنوك المدعومة بالبيتكوين، وإصدار عملتها النقدية الرقمية الخاصة بها، والتي يمكن استبدالها بعملات البيتكوين. لا يمكن للبيتكوين نفسها أن تتوسع بحيث يتم بث كل معاملة مالية في العالم للجميع وإدراجها في سلسلة الكتل. يجب أن يكون هناك مستوى ثانوي من أنظمة الدفع يكون أخف وزنًا وأكثر كفاءة. وبالمثل، فإن الوقت اللازم لإتمام معاملات البيتكوين سيكون غير عملي بالنسبة لعمليات الشراء ذات القيمة المتوسطة إلى الكبيرة. ‏سوف تحل البنوك المدعومة بالبيتكوين هذه المشاكل. يمكنهم العمل مثلما فعلت البنوك قبل تأميم العملة. يمكن أن يكون لدى البنوك المختلفة سياسات مختلفة، بعضها أكثر عدوانية، وبعضها أكثر تحفظا. قد يكون بعضها احتياطيًا جزئيًا بينما قد يكون البعض الآخر مدعومًا بنسبة 100٪ من عملة البيتكوين. قد تختلف أسعار الفائدة. قد يتم تداول النقد من بعض البنوك بسعر مخفض مقارنة بنظيره من البنوك الأخرى. ‏لقد وضع جورج سيلجين نظرية الخدمات المصرفية المجانية التنافسية بالتفاصيل، ويجادل بأن مثل هذا النظام سيكون مستقرًا ومقاومًا للتضخم وينظم نفسه ذاتيًا. ‏أعتقد أن هذا سيكون المصير النهائي للبيتكوين، لتكون "الأموال ذات القوة العالية" التي تعمل كعملة احتياطية للبنوك التي تصدر أموالها الرقمية الخاصة. ستتم معظم معاملات البيتكوين بين البنوك لتسوية التحويلات الصافية. ستكون معاملات البيتكوين التي يجريها الأفراد نادرة أيضًا، كما هي الحال في عمليات الشراء المعتمدة على ⁧‫#البيتكوين‬⁩ اليوم." ‏30 ديسمبر 2010، هال فيني ‏ـــــــ ـــــــ ـــــــ ـــــــ ـــــــ ـــــــ ـــــــ ـــــــ ‏“ ‏Actually there is a very good reason for Bitcoin-backed banks to exist, issuing their own digital cash currency, redeemable for bitcoins. Bitcoin itself cannot scale to have every single financial transaction in the world be broadcast to everyone and included in the block chain. There needs to be a secondary level of payment systems which is lighter weight and more efficient. Likewise, the time needed for Bitcoin transactions to finalize will be impractical for medium to large value purchases. ‏Bitcoin backed banks will solve these problems. They can work like banks did before nationalization of currency. Different banks can have different policies, some more aggressive, some more conservative. Some would be fractional reserve while others may be 100% Bitcoin backed. Interest rates may vary. Cash from some banks may trade at a discount to that from others. ‏George Selgin has worked out the theory of competitive free banking in ‏detail, and he argues that such a system would be stable, inflation resistant and self-regulating. ‏I believe this will be the ultimate fate of Bitcoin, to be the "high- powered money" that serves as a reserve currency for banks that issue their own digital cash. Most Bitcoin transactions will occur between banks, to settle net transfers. Bitcoin transactions by private individuals will be as rare as... well, as Bitcoin based purchases are today.” ‏⁦‪#Bitcoin ‬⁩ ‏December 30, 2010, Hal Finney #nostr #nostrgrow #zap #satoshi
