image I wrote a short rant called "fuck easy" a couple of days ago. I've been listening to podcasts and after the 5th person complaining that nostr is too hard (is it, really?) I was fed up and typed this out on my phone. I hope that we can return to a point, culturally, where "hard" is okay, just like the first level of the original Super Mario was hard. Coddling everyone's mind has led us to the upside-down clown world we're currently living in, and coddling everyone's body has led to less-than-optimal health, to put it mildly. In the Bitcoin world, coddling users and making things "easy" has led to Coinbase-by-default and other stupid bullshit, and I truly am fed up with all of that. There is a better way, but the "better" isn't necessarily "easy."

Logical is necessary, and it often contradicts easy. That's the real grit in the lube of all this. People's minds have been shrunk from 60+ years of counterintelligence cultification of everything. Then the food and drug companies come along and make their FDA advocacy and the food is now also making people more retarded. It's really hard to reach people who have suffered through all these things, and more. It's also why I am usually happy to read another awake human being who has managed to wrangle a decent following without playing the charismatic cult leader game so hard.
