When I go on a hike I usually think about lots of stuff, but most commonly on some philosophical/psychological/religious/spiritual topics.

Today it struck me that in the Bible's genesis story knowing good from evil or not was a choice!

What's more, that choice was given to Eve by the Devil himself!

I see this as being in line with Ayn Rand's proposal that one of the most fundamental choices a man faces all the time is to think or not - and suffer the consequences of that choice.

We can go through life turning a blind eye to the evils that surround us, and many people do. I'm thinking many of us here on #nostr have felt the consequences of some of the evils in this world today, which is why we came here to talk about it.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is I'm grateful for nostr. May it grow and evolve into a true, massive, unstoppable forum where we can freely, and truthfully express ourselves.
