Would you describe Bitcoin as a force of Nature, and in accord with all of these nine principles?
My feeling is that Bitcoin acts as this foundation for a pagan-like enforcement of Nature's rules of thumb. That it will breakdown over-centralised systems that grew by cutting organic, natural bonds and processes and replacing them with the central entity's synthetic, controlled version.
Bitcoin returns us to nature though in an enhanced manner, like the ideas behind the serene perfection of a Greek sculpture, it enables it's masons to embrace Nature and yet provides the focussed impulse to go beyond her.

There is another danger of Bitcoin touched on here, that is, once the opportunity cost is fully realised and internalised it can lead to paralysis and inaction.
Why buy a car when it could be a Porsche in a few years, a Ferrari in another few, a house in another few, a mansion in another few. What is the opportunity cost of a child or two over eighteen years measured in Bitcoin.
Utilitarianism like this turns you into a predictable slave of the spreadsheet. People follow incentives but the pressure of this incentive threatens becoming a productivity drone, lacking vitality and that unpredictable vigour of Nature.
Bitcoin can be weilded as anextraordinarily empowering tool, but beware of it's sharp edges, and do not let it overpower your own Will or life force.
Life is accumulating power, then discharging it.

Another fact I cannot quite believe is the Chauvet cave paintings of lions in France that are ~30,000 years old.
Not only are they accurate but they are highly stylistic and beautiful. Even motion seems to be captured to me. A dozen animals are drawn together, so it is no one off fluke but an intentional montage.

You are right although I would add a caveat. The scoreboard is absolute, sure, however there's a PoW and a PoS way of getting to said score.
An electric, or gravitational, or even a sexual polarity creates an energetic field across it through which movement and dynamism happen. Too much polarity and you get violent discharge. Nice just to know my own scoreboard.

The diet is excellent for gaining muscle and bone density but you need to eat enough fat for energy and to become ketone adapted, so that the protein can be used for building.
If you are eating low/zero carb but don't eat adequate fat you will turn protein into glucose in the liver, and so still be running on glucpse, which is inefficient and inflammatory, as opposed to using antiinflammatory ketones.
The ratio is 35g fat to 100g lean muscle meat, by weight before cooking, per meal.
You should eat when hungry. If you over eat your blood sugar and insulin will rise and your ketones will drop. You also need organs twice per week, adding fat to the same ratio.

I have seen many posts the last month about AI as religion or god. In a similar way as the post-war religion was a holy trinity of psyops; moon landing, nukes, and holoc@ust, where nukes where the combination of the other two (a scientific holoc@ust) and where nukes were the stick/threat and space exploration the carrot/promise with obedience. "Scientists" in white lab coats/robes could be installed as the new high priests. Like the pyramids, the project said "look what we can do, so listen to and obey us". Now, "AI safety/moderation" aims to take the place of atheist scientists (where "scientists say..." --> AI says) to control this new engineered religion. They will fail this time because they do not have control of all media channels and there are various online elements of the population (nostriches/bitcoiners/bro scientists) who are not as brainwashed as two generations ago. You could say that centralised, propagated religion is the grandest of all "Malthusian fear spells", undermining organic cultures, bonds and traditions to replace them with itself.

It is not a pyramid, it is simply a ratio, of 100g lean red muscle meat to 35g animal, per meal. With 3 portions of organs per week and 100-200ml bone broth and marrow per day.

Bitcoin is Homeric art, in that Homeric naïveté, as described by Nietzsche, can only be understood as the complete triumph of Apolline illusion (or artistic forms and truths revealed in dream).
This is an illusion Nature often uses in order to attain its goals. The true goal is veiled by a phantasm: we stretch our hands toward one thing (number go up, make and save capital), and Nature deceives us to achieve the other (abolish centralisation/central banking and large scale leftism, forge Natures upward pointing table of values and truth back into societies and culture).

Once you see it the official narrative becomes laughable. There's an Asha Logos series called Our Subverted History that tells the same story but in ancient times, not just 20th century. It's always a war between two opposite sets of values, and groups distinguish and define themselves in opposition to rivals, "we are not them".
But it's all over now. Bitcoin is the unstoppable force that cements the indo-european table of values into reality and impedes the tiny hats fiat table of values.

7, Inner to outer - we start by dissolving our attitude not by altering outer condition
8, See that there is no one to fight, only an illusion to see through
9, No one can hurt you unless you allow him to
10, Inwardly, psychologically, be a nobody

Niels Bohr was the great atomic structure and quantum theory physicist. He conceived the Principle of Complementarity:
For a photon or electron, it is impossible to observe both the wave and particle aspects simultaneously. Together, however, they present a fuller description.
Bohr applied the Principle of Complementarity to not only physics, but all important issues of life.
"Bohr was the incarnation of complementarity, the insistence that every important issue has an opposite side that appears as mutually exclusive with the other. The understanding of the question becomes possible only if the existence of both sides is recognised". - Edward Teller
Bohr suggested complementarity could illuminate the mind-body problem,
It might provide for the difference between organic and inorganic matter,
It could underlie other classic dualisms like subject/object, reason versus passion and even free volition versus causality.
After experiences during a trip to China, Bohr adopted the yin yang symbol as part of his family coat of arms (when he was knighted in 1947).
Everything contains Yin and Yang and nothing is absolute with Yin and Yang.

Why believe in things that would destroy your life and society, but then reject myths that would enrich and empower you?
What use is your philosophy if it does not make you thrive?
What is TRUE is what WORKS and thus GOOD.

The best notes are those which do not appeal to ideology, rhetoric, attention-getting cleverness, or the ambition to construct a "system", but regardless they still RESONATE with you as true, or, GLOW with VERACITY

Its also printing those jobs that wouldn't exist "naturally", jobs the market would not desire.
If you can print currency then you can print actors, enforcers and other functionaries that accept said currency.

Everything that exists is a self-reinforcing loop. It has to be or it would fizzle out, and not exist. We live in a world of ghosts, endlessly craving, never satisfied. They won't change, Bitcoin will just exert itself as a forcing function.

Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey", the meta-narrative or archetypal story, is not describing the meaning of life, but the EXPERIENCE OF BEING ALIVE, which is what people are really looking for
BItcoin is a tether back to Reality, or Truth with a capital "T". By embracing BItcoin, it reforges you into a real, living, competitive Being again (with a capital fucking "B"!)

Beauty is a excellent survival strategy, for humans, animals, architecture, cars, and more, because these things will be defended, upkept, invested in and remembered.
The Greeks, Nietzsche and the Medici's all knew that what is good is exceedingly costly. Time and resources are dedicated as means toward that "good" end, and beautiful things endure through time as resilient objects, thus, beauty is ultimate proof of work.
LIfe itself is an example of that beauty, and time on Earth has shown that the beauty and vigour of life CAN NEVER BE EXTINGUISHED!

To me, Bitcoin is about restoring the natural table of values. If money is liquid time, or potential capital, and all time is spent toward certain values, then Bitcoin is a Ferrari v12 engine empowering pagan/natural values at the expense of fiat/commie values.

Nostr enables the building of social capital, which is one of its beauties less discussed. Social capital is intertwined with and an enabler of economic capital. As in meatspace, those communities with generative social capital endure, whereas those that incentivise depleting it perish. Bullish on Nostr, as it becomes an ever more cosy place to be.

If fiat encourages strip mining of your capital, because as your savings inflate away and your debts increase, thus forcing the pulling forward of, or immediate usage of stored capital (eg soil quality or selling nations infrastructure to foreign organisations), then isn't is crazy that this same system tries to enforce ESG policy. Sustainability is the exact opposite of what fiat incentivises. They create a polarity and siphon the electric field created between the two poles.
Any force that tries to tip the world upside down, or rules from the shadows, is likely "evil" because if it were "good" then it would stand visibly in the light, knowing it has nothing to hide and no criticism to fear.
Fiat and its Lords of Lies are a predator on those that build material, ecological, social, cultural and artistic capital.
BItcoin fixes this.

Plato said, "Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses."
If the population in aggregate was capable of self-correcting it would have done, but the fiat cycle has to inflict collective pain in order for life to learn. It has to be this way. Life is that which grows and it grows only INTO struggle as yin and yang. Its all good though! Bitcoiners are the vanguard of the inevitable vigour of the bio-geo-chemical process we call life itself.

The world of tomorrow is re-stockpiling capital, not stripping it; oil, gas, farming, carpentry, and producing art bitcoiners organically desire. We will re-cultivate a culture around a new table of values, those pagan-like values embodied in Bitcoin.

Why would such a powerful tool as OpenAI be given to the public?
Could it be to create so much "disinformation", or fake articles, or enraged displaced workers, that demand is created for digital IDs to distinguish who or what is "real" (human)?

William Blake, in 1790, tried to define the mechanisms of oppression and limitation of the human personality. He observed that the State chartered corporations, licensed that it used false science, devious moralizing and religion, and illiteracy to create a culture of obedient drudgery. Commercial interests, he pointed out, distorted and degraded human life, art, and science.
