We can imagine God as a wish maker. He gave us free will, as a mechanism to interact with us, to fulfill those wishes. These are our primary choices: A choice to forget Him If we decide that we want to maximize our enjoyment in this material environment, we have to practically forget about God. Then we can engage in material wealth, sex, drugs, alcohol, food, and power games, seemingly guilt-free. I say seemingly because after a while, that guilt will accumulate, through negative karma. In this case, we are practically kicking the can further down the road, in spiritual terms. If we choose this path, He will hide all the knowledge about Him from us. Our second choice is to remember Him, by acquiring knowledge. If we choose this path, we’ll spend our life seeking God, and the road that leads to Him. This path generally, if executed properly, involves much less karmic debt and eventually can lead to liberation. But it can be a lonely path as well because most people choose the first option, they choose to forget, and there is nothing we can do about it. Personally, I have been acquiring knowledge since my early 20s. In the beginning, it didn’t look like I was searching for God, but after a while, that became very clear. When your goal is to search for God, He will send you help, in the form of written knowledge, connections, and masters. My entire life was filled with such seemingly random encounters, but when I look back, I can see a carefully crafted plan, which I wasn’t aware of. So now in my 40s, my only intention is to continue my search and trust the plan.

We roam this material world searching for something that has a long-lasting value. We are aware of the flickering nature of our existence, but still, we tend to believe that we can obtain things that can fool the force of Time. We want stability, we want permanence, but nothing is permanent, Time dissolves everything of material nature. This also explains the value of gold, it's one of the few elements that can survive thousands of years, therefore, we see value in it, although, it's kind of useless, from a practical perspective. We seek symbolic values, something that we can hold on to, and that can assure us that it will last beyond our lifetime and our hard work will not go to waste. Crypto is a young asset, and to be honest, it has only a fraction of gold's permanence and stability. It's a new "element" that is inherently volatile because it's mainly tethered to human emotions, which are highly volatile. Crypto is a fun game, but very far from providing true stability, therefore wide adoption will take a long of time. So far only Bitcoin has proved itself to offer some kind of stability, but if you compare it to physical elements, like gold or property, it has a long way to go.

@krugermacro From this perspective, it only makes sense to invest in DEXs that are facilitating all those volumes and can capture the value in some way. Everything else is a gamble.

@RaphaelDabadie @sama He is conflating having access to information with the ability to come up with new concepts. AI is already better at the former, but will always lag at the latter.

@FiveArtsOrg I would also add that he craves mental stimulation, with all that fire controlling Yang Metal (pioneer profile). High energy, can't stand still :-)

@KarlTurner5 @DeItaone And then burn the admin key. Oooops, the debt is gone.

I agree. I would take his political views more seriously if he didn't use the media attention to sell products too. He is partly philosophically driven, but also partly financially, and that's a red flag. It's important to separate moral principles from financial interests if he wants to be a respectable thought leader.

@CannnGurel It's a powerful thing, but I can't say I'm totally dedicated to it now :-)

@avatarofjoshua It seems most people agree that 3-4 days is optimal.

@PaulSuggy I have some too :-)

@littlebunny1899 2x a day is pretty much regular for me these days. 3x a day is a Big Food scam :-)

@pov_on2wheels Not sure about cramps, but salt fools my stomach for a bit :-) Water alone can get rather boring and at one point body is not getting anything out of it.

@PaulSuggy Just water, salt, and a cup of black coffee if I feel doozy :-)

@pov_on2wheels I reduced it a lot

I have run a business in Germany for almost 20 years, and finally closed it, and moved east. The tax system is atrocious. When you count everything, taxes, insurance, and pension fund, you end up paying 60%+ of your profits to various leechers. Whatever value you collect in a pension fund, is destroyed by inflation.

@AsfiShaheen Sir, I went to the shop to buy all that, it took me 60 seconds to get to the car!

I think both sides misused the system, just liberals were better at it because they managed to capture the media, as a crucial leverage. But the media is now slipping away from them. The eye of Sauron is moving elsewhere. Dare to say towards right?

@tir_naog @0xMert_ Do I have to read all of it? 😂

@RujiraNetwork DeFi za sve!

This market is humbling everybody, with no exceptions. It's lovely to see such an egalitarian force at work 😅

@tir_naog Thank you. All good now, after the long fast :-)
