There’s a threshold or level of violence where the state no longer has a monopoly.
The monopoly only holds when the population consents (implicitly or explicitly) or when resistance is small enough to be crushed without systemic risk.
When violence reaches a certain scale… civil war, insurgency, cartel warfare, economic collapse etc… the monopoly shatters.
Suddenly, authority is decentralized. Legitimacy becomes local, tribal, or transactional.
This is not something generally speaking that you want to live through.

I don't see how the world avoids a population collapse at this point.
The actual numbers are pretty clear; the world was rugged by money printers and all of it's gnarly knock on effects. People are living for themselves now, just to limit misery.
The ruling class seems to be seizing the moment by expanding automation and looting nations by selling governments wartime upstarts like genetic experiments, geoengineering, fake food, and digital crowd control systems.
Malthusians have only poured fuel on the fire by undermining fertility via dietary poisons and environmental estrogens, even exploiting pandemics to accelerate death and destruction via vaccines and lockdowns.
Central banks have made people so poor that RFK Jr has to focus on sugar and food dyes because nobody can afford a food economy without seed oils. Housing is made out of popsicle sticks+chemicals and people can't

I’m out for a bike ride and I realized something.
I think what’s coming for bitcoin is going to be a huge “bitcoin bubble”. Any company adopting the MicroStrategy playbook is going to skyrocket in share price.
I think next year or the year after, we see a blowoff top similar to 2017. Queue the next “Bitcoin is dead” articles. Bitcoin is still the innovation, like the internet was in the dotcom boom.

One thing that’s funny to me is I invested all my money into this asset 10 years ago when it was only a 3 billion market cap and yet tradfi people still see me as a worse investor than them.

Even if the world burns, I choose to build.
Even if it’s cringe to care, I choose to care.
Even if truth is mocked, I choose to speak it.
Even if optimism is naive, I choose to be hopeful.
While others sink in apathy I will rise in purpose.

“All migrants who arrive in Europe are penniless, without work, without dignity...This is what the Church wants?” he asked. “The Church can not cooperate with this new form of slavery that has become mass migration. If the West continues in this fatal way, there is a great risk that, due to a lack of birth, it will disappear, invaded by foreigners, just as Rome has been invaded by barbarians.” - Cardinal Robert Sarah (front runner to be the next pope)

When WWII was won, clasaical conservatism died within the governments of every western country.
A new world order, a *liberal* world order, intent on social and econonic revolution, erupted out of the old world order.
We have been living with a uniparty for a century: social liberalism (progressivism) on the left and economic liberalism on the right. Left boot, right boot; the illusion of representation.
What's happening now in this #Bitcoin and populist uprising is a remembering of classical conservatism. Of liberty. Of private rule. Of the family. Of savings. Of tiny fucking government. Of air to breath. Of a simpler future.

Hot take: Libertarians are the state’s most dedicated enemies and, in true Girardian fashion become its most faithful imitators.
Rene Girard observed that enemies often become mirror images of each other. The more fiercely they oppose, the more they mimic. The obsession breeds resemblance. This is the trap of mimetic rivalry: we become like the thing we hate.
Libertarians see the state as the ultimate enemy. But in their desire to escape or overthrow it, they begin to reflect its mindset. They study its structure, anticipate its moves, simulate its power in miniature. They build parallel institutions—private courts, private currencies, private defense—as if reconstructing the state from scratch, but with different branding.
Their deep paranoia, their obsession with sovereignty, even their fetish for rules (so long as they’re voluntary)—these are all echoes of the very system they claim to reject.

Zapvertising (some thoughts)
337,000 sats generated ($277)
Opinion was split. I’d say about a third of users thought it was fun and interesting, a third found it useful and participated, and a third hated it and probably muted me lol.
The anchor pricing of the menu had the desired effect, with most people opting for the 1k, 5k, and 10k sat options. The higher options were only there to make the main choices feel cheap by comparison.
“Zap menus” as a concept received mixed feedback. Some people appreciated the transparency, while others felt it was a gross commoditization of interaction.
Results for influencer-based algorithmic marketing were solid. Most boosted posts saw higher-than-normal engagement, with the highest-paid promotion leading to a doubling of follower count. I suspect this has less to do with my endorsement and more to do with visibility—people

Since nostr has no algorithms you can now rent me your friendly neighborhood influencer to be YOUR algorithm.
The menu below will be active 4/8/25 after that you can zap me all you want, but it won’t produce a reaction on my end.
Enjoy!

I personally assign a very low probability less than 1% that humans create AGI in our lifetime.
But a 100% probability that humans will pretend as if they have created AGI in order to further their political and ideological agendas.
Wizard of Oz shit basically, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
