My tips for creatives:
Walk
Take long walks, especially before you start creating. Walking will clear your mind and help you detect the signal in your noisy brain.
Think, then don't
Think about what you're going to create - a song, an article, a book, a movie script. Get a general idea of what you want to do. When you finally get started, keep the idea in the back of your mind, but stop overthinking. Let go, and let the ideas flow through you.
Ask yourself what question you want to ask yourself
Start with a blank paper and a question you want answered - then answer that question to the best of your ability. Teaching is the best form of learning because it forces you to think in a first principles manner. Explain from the ground up. The question could be, "What kind of song/video/article is this?"
Surprise yourself
Embrace the thrill of not knowing what your piece is about as you create it. This element of surprise keeps the process fresh and exciting, making it a truly creative endeavor. If you know too much beforehand, fun turns into work, and you'll have an allergic reaction to it. Instead, let the thing reveal itself to you as you go.
Know that you won't be interrupted
Not only do you need to not get interrupted, you need to know that you're not going to get interrupted. John Cleese's best advice on creativity, in my opinion. I solved the interruption problem by waking up early.
95% perfection
Trey Parker's best advice is to aim for 95% perfection. Anything above that is simply not worth the diminishing marginal returns, and it will just cost you time and cause you to lose momentum.
The spirit of the piece
Ravi Shankar once said, "If you listen to the spirit of the music, it will tell you what notes to play." This quote applies to any creative endeavor, not only music. Try to feel what the thing you're creating wants to be, and be of service to what that is.
The fish is beautiful, not the fisherman
Take pride in your work, but drop your ego. Never forget that what your creativity is capturing is the important thing, not you, your career, or the compliments you receive for it. Think of the final product as something beautiful you found and caught because it is.
Finish right away
John Lennon's advice to George Harrison - finish the song right away. In the case of text, finish the chapter/article/scene immediately. You can always come back and change it later, but the "spur of the moment" creative flame happens once.
Plow
Once you think you're done, plow through the thing at least twice from beginning to end. Belt sand and polish the edges, edit, rephrase. What was once a rough first draft is now in the process of being refined - this is where you turn on your pre-frontal cortex again.
Kill your darlings
"An engineer is not finished until there's nothing left to add, but until there's nothing left to remove." Cut the fluff. It's the easiest way to improve the quality of the end product. Quality over quantity. Substance over word salad.
Carve it out
In many ways, creative efforts are like carving a statue out of a stone block. Chopping of big pieces to get a general feel for the thing is easy. Most of the work is in the "attention to detail" phase.
Enjoy
The most important tip is to make sure you enjoy the process. If it's not enjoyable, you won't do it - so make it enjoyable. Envision the goal. Sit in a comfy chair. Fart. Amuse yourself. Creativity can be the child of boredom, but boredom can also kill the process. And what's the point of anything if you're not enjoying it anyway?

2024-04-27 15:31:25

You cannot own #Bitcoin.
What you CAN do is rely on the fact that the risk of someone else knowing the same Private Key as you is so infinitesimally small that it makes sense to use satoshis as a communications tool for expressing value.

2024-04-27 11:33:39

You cannot "own" #Bitcoin in the traditional sense of owning stuff.
No matter what governments, courts, chain-anal people, or anyone else tells you, there is no way of proving that someone DOESN'T know a string of information such as a private key.
From this perspective, satoshis aren't ever transferred but rather reorganized on the timechain for communication purposes.
The twelve magic words do not belong to anyone. They're just twelve words.
What Bitcoin makes so blatantly obvious is that money was never anything but information.
A ban on "self-hosted wallets" is as absurd as a ban on using your brain.
Such a ban would have severe consequences.
It would deny you the right to keep a secret while granting the government the right to claim that you do, making everyone a criminal.
YOU would have to prove that you DON'T know something, which is impossible.
You would be guilty until proven innocent, which cannot be proven.
Any law trying to stop or restrict Bitcoin usage is nothing less than a crime against humanity.
IMHO, the Bitcoin community should do everything in its power to prevent such laws. Your ability to use a communications network shouldn't depend on where you were born.
Do your part and educate as many people as you can as often as possible.
Speech is never free but always costly. It's high time to separate speech and state!

Imagine a company shipping grains of rice in boxes.
One day, a charlatan fools some rice consumers into thinking that rice grains are tastier if first painstakingly ordered by their texture, shape, and color before being packed into the boxes and shipped.
As a result of this procedure, every rice consumer now pays a higher price per shipped box. At least as long as the charlatan is still able to fool people.
The major rice shipping companies are still happy because they get paid more per box. As long as people still choose to consume rice instead of something else. The charlatan is very good at scamming people and even dresses up as a wizard to show how magic his new rice-ordering procedure is.
Suddenly, a new rice shipping company enters the market, willing to call out the charlatan's bullshit and start shipping rice the old-fashioned way, without the pointless rice-grain ordering.
They point out that rice will be more popular in general if normal rice consumers aren't forced to pay a premium because of the whims of a scammer.
The charlatan and his followers call this refusal to play along with the scheme "censorship." They claim that ordering the grains is a "technological advancement."
In the end, the wizard and his rice ordering don't age very well, and people start preferring the new shipping company over the old one.

"Freedom of speech is supposed to mean the right of everyone to say whatever he likes. But the neglected question is: where? Where does a man have this right? He certainly does not have it on property on which he is trespassing. In short, he has this right only either on his own property or on the property of someone who has agreed, as a gift or in a rental contract, to allow him on the premises. In fact, there is no such thing as a separate ‘right to free speech’; there is only a man’s property rights: the right to do as he wills with his own or to make voluntary agreements with other property owners." - Murray Rothbard
