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 doesβ€”no 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.

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.
