i will no longer celebrate saturnalia.
there is nothing holy about a holiday, because unholy people do not necessarily become holy on that particular day. gift-giving and gift-receiving cannot fix unholy people.
if good interesting people come together and i get invited, i will attend. i will happily celebrate real events of life as they come, and i am still ok with celebrating yearly birthdays. as i opt out of the cyclical annual holidays, birthdays might go as well. in my family, we already gift each other things ahead of time or after the fact.
i think that today, holidays are a distraction trap, mainly parasitized by marketing companies, and probably created by them too. before we had modern marketing, we had religious propaganda.
i am fine celebrating the end of the snow and the beginning of the sun seasons, and the checkpoints in between (the solstices and the equinoxes). however, the first days of the season no longer get enough attention from people, because they are under a psyop of other Celebrate-by-Fiat Days.
i am not jaded, this is clear reasoning in order to preserve my focus & attention.
yeah, somebody please fix this cluster fuck, by whatever means necessary 🙄. a small platform can turn itself around quickly. make SN great again. there is too much hate going around, as well as an increasingly noticeable number of pointless posts.
fascism and communism are two sides of the same coin, a method of control perfected in the Fiat century. i wonder what the next economic policy term is going to be, and how fast these pendulum swings from prosperity to poverty will proceed. bitcoin fixed this obviously. tik-tok stack more sats.

these monopoly games destroy collaboration between people. the psychopaths are stumping progress intentionally, because merit-based technologies makes them all obsolete. hopefully, technology advances are faster than they can make people throw dung at each other.
i see. perhaps u are focusing on unlearning completely and wish to start from 100% blank slate. idk.
i prefer to learn & unlearn at the same time, which certainly takes more mental stamina; there is a lot of wasted effort. i have been reading, studying my entire life, and that's my strength.
i need buildings and materials engineers.
i think bitcoiners who understand natural law cud take control over the star forts and many old world stone structures around the globe. i think that the current possessors of those structures (by fiat) know that these structures are important, but don't know exactly how, just that accessing their energy wud help free humanity beyond our current imagination. energy abundance might become merit-based, and that's not acceptable to the current dark parasitic overlords.
we'll get to the solutions. the goal is to avoid a total wipeout of this unsustainable mess, gigadeth style, man-made or nature-driven.
disconnecting can work in the short-term, but that's not going to help anyone in the long-term. altho a cliche, we're all in this together, stuck in a prison of our own design.
this winter i shall be doing a "polar bear plunge" in a northern lake, looking forward to it!
it did not occur to me that some ducks/geese do not migrate in winter. i must not be getting out into nature enough.
i was going to make a comment about enhancing mental clarity specifically for darthcoin, but then saw severe lack of clarity all around from various stackers, so i decided to hold off on that. there are bigger problems to correct around here. plus i'm no saint, i got some work to do on myself.
how did i end up in this battle... lol. i must be doing something significant to be included in such a controversial topic. i am not contributing to any such silly contest as it does not add value. however, i will gladly start downzapping more content that i consider low-value =)
i don't think that bitcoin's value ends with being money-only, however the bitcoin-as-money idea drives people faster away from using fiat-money.
therefore, it doesn't matter what i wish bitcoin to be, and whether i wish the term "money" to not exist ever again - everyone has to get on the bitcoin standard one way or another, and the "bitcoin-as-moneyâ„¢" marketing is good enough for now, whether SoV or MoE, just fucking use it.
