Everyone is sharing the worldcoin video, but I won't.
Look. Not everyone is going to make it. The point made by 1984 is the same point made by Ordinary Men: most people will love the regime. Most people will do anything to comply, to not stick out, to do what everyone else doesβno matter how ridiculous.
The solution is deceivingly simple: don't try to change other people. Focus on yourself and how you spend your time.
Opt out. Don't feed the beast. Concentrate your time, energy, and attention on the alternatives represented by #bitcoin and #nostr. Become as resilient as you can. Become un-ruggable. Ignore the noise.

Exactly. Although I've been guilty of posting about it. https://iris.to/note109etuaudgzs8qp9tef897ja8ghd460fnx638r6wmuaadhw9q7xlspgu2ww
Just wish I could take more friends & family with me. Time will tell. Those who can't be bothered to learn are not worth to drain your energy. There are people out here with similar #values
Maybe we also need more hardship in life to filter out who's worth his salt and who is not. Its easier to tell, who the cowards are when the barbarians are at the gate and your little village has to fend for themselves.
This easy life makes it possible that noone, not even oneself gets put to the test enough or regularly. Thats convinient, but the price is to find out when something bad happens that noone can ignore.
Like a war or a pandemic...
And one painful part is to learn how to deal with loved ones who turned to the dark sideπ
Sadly true... thanks
Present a viable, positive alternative. Ignoring is the best strategy.
Propagating people lining up to the slaughter house actually works as an advertisment to the slaughter house.
But it sure is tempting to virtue signal and call out the beast... I do it too.
Agreed!

Iβve noticed that the middle ground where youβve studied #bitcoin enough to lift the financial iron curtain and instead of just accepting that your knowledge is going to make you and oddball you resist and try to force a paradigm shift on others.
To resist takes up precious energy best to go further down the rabbit hole and find/build a new world.
The paradigm shift will come as they see #bitcoin build a world that they wish they were in. Be the change!
As weird as it might sound, I woke up today having exactly the same conclusion. Lead by example and do not impose anymore. I do my thing and those who are willing to join me then will be welcome to our niche & exclusive pure blood orange-pilled community
The common issue that we have is the Worldcoiners will also have same voting rights as bitcoiners. Hence, clown world citizens will continue influencing most outcomes in our sphere of influence
Wise words.
Trichotomy of control:
There are things we have complete control over.
Things we have somewhat control over.
Things we have no control over.
Use your time and energy wisely.
How much time and energy does it take to accurately categorize everything?
In my experience not much time.
It may be work at the start ( but added benefit of stopping and briefly internally categorizing also slows you down, gives time for introspection and helps you develop awareness) as you keep assessing your level of control in daily life situations it becomes intuitive to you with practice. ( this does not have to be academic, it can be an internal process and intuitive in nature)
Once you discern your level of control in any situation it can guide your decision making and allocating time/energy to what is useful action.
Good question π€

The thing that's really disappointed me about Dystopian Sci Fi from HG Wells, Yevgeny Zamyatin and Aldous Huxley to Margaret Atwood and the Wachowskis is that these were all supposed to be warnings. Instead they so captivated our imaginations that we thought they were prophetic.
They AREN'T.
We are the future. We can make it what WE want. Bitcoin and Nostr are the Enlightenment 2.0, bringing us out of the NeoLiberal dark ages.
My kids and grandkids will be free from dystopia. They will read about you in their history classes. They will think about the IMF like we thought about the politicians who mandated men swinging lanterns in front of the first motorcars. They will wonder what we were so worried about because they won't even be able to imagine the hellscape we prevented.
They won't know what we did for them but they will live free, happy and prosperous because we are here today zapping each other 21 Sats on Nostr.
And building a better future for them.

Worldcoin is dystopia
Bitcoin is utopia


Focus on how you want the world.
Be the example.
Thank you for the post. Great to have reminders there are others out there who see the world this way.
James! Hey man
This is true up until the point that action is needed in the public sphere, rather than only in what we control in our own lives.
Maybe. That is only a perspective.
Many people bent the knee to receive the jab. To continue their βnormal way of lifeβ.
The jab was a line in the public sand and we decided that that public sphere was no longer _needed_ in our lives.
And we moved onto something we believe is better in the world. We changed our perspective on what was needed.
Your article about time preference came to mind. It is one of the first I show when orange pilling. Your might want to post again since there might be people that have not read it yet.

What is world coin
Another shitecoin.
A globalist biometrically-KYCed shitcoin abomination.
Then why does anyone care? π
Because they get around $40 worth for free.
From the wallet of George Soros no doubt

Historic post my friend.
View quoted note β let go of trying to make the world the way you want it. The only thing you can change is yourself.
You just know those who took "the" vaccine aren't going to make it

But I have to say giving people who never had bitcoin 5 Dollar in Sats does trumendous help to show people at least the door. And if they make a nostr account i will gibe them another 5 Dollar in Sats.
100% agree, not everyone is going to make it. 80% of people cannot be helped as you wrote, however while we should be resilient, we should try to connect & awaken the remaining 20%.

Oh crap, you got my retina scan!!!
Do I even get a free world coin for it?
No π
Esau sold his soul for a bowl of stew. People will gladly give up their future for $40 of fake money now. We don't change. It's good at least that not everyone is for sale. I already know who I belong to, sand it's not world coin.

No matter how big the monsterβ¦ it canβt survive without oxygen
The point made by 1984 is that the regime can crush even the strongest individuals.
Become an example, and some will follow, if you worth it.
