This guy vibes like one of those crack fiends on the street asking for a dollar to ride the bus.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he visits his parents once a month to have them sign over their pension payment to him.
Dude’s a reprobate.

Yes, buy the highs and the lows. Practice austerity elsewhere. Your grandkids will thank you.

I have not installed the GPS mirror. I do receive notifs. for VPN and Drive. For one reason or another, I don't for Mail. Not a deal breaker me. I'm in the app several times in a day.

Ha-ha, good to know. It’s not that serious. It just seems like a mindless ritual. I didn’t really give it much thought until i saw your post.

I don’t understand this GM/GN phenomenon on Nostr.
It’s like digital litter in the feed. To each his own, I reckon. Have at it!

In Spanish it’s called Churrasco Steak and it’s typically served with chimichurri sauce. Sooo good! 😋

You're not wrong. Whether one believes they can or cannot, they are creating a self-fulfilling positive or negative feedback loop, respectively.
The mind is indifferent to the messaging it receives. It'll operate from whatever messaging is repeated most, internally and externally. Positive or negative. Mind what you say to yourself.

I'm saddened by this, if it's true, but these individuals seemed to be living in alignment with their values and on their terms. I wish that for everyone. Not the outcome of course, but to do the former with a more accurate mental mapping of reality.
In "The Parasitic Mind", Gad Saad does a good job explaining how empathy can misfire when hyperactivated or directed toward inappropriate targets, leading to detrimental societal outcomes.
This post highlights that point. I believe his next book is entirely on the topic of what he calls, "Suicidal Empathy". That might even be the title.

If more people internalized and metabolized this guidance, the world would be a much better place.
People need more examples of success, regular everyday wins, to emulate. Focusing on your own shit and winning demonstrates and "authorizes" others to do the same.

I’m all for small-scale co-ops and community-run setups where people can self-manage resources and power stays decentralized…so long as they are fully voluntary.
I’m skeptical however, that they can remain voluntary and immune from outside forces that would create internal power struggles.
Human nature is messy. Even if you have near-perfect conditions…abundance, trust, and a culture that’s all-in on the ethos, it wouldn’t take long for dissenters or free-riders to unravel the whole thing.
IMO, Libertarian + Socialist = Wrod Saald.
Here are a couple of quotes I tend to align with…
"Civilization is the process of setting man free from men."
"There is nothing to take a man's freedom away from him, save other men. To be free, a man must be free of his brothers."
—Ayn Rand

Grok’s synopsis….
"The Call of the Wild and Free: Reclaiming Wonder in Your Child's Education" by Ainsley Arment is a practical and inspiring guide for parents interested in homeschooling or enhancing their children’s education through alternative methods. Published in 2019, the book draws from Arment’s personal experiences as a mother of five and the founder of the Wild + Free community, a movement dedicated to reimagining education by fostering curiosity, creativity, and a connection to nature.
The synopsis centers on Arment’s journey from sending her son to traditional school—where she noticed his spark dimming—to embracing homeschooling as a way to preserve his sense of wonder and individuality. She challenges the conventional education system, arguing that it often stifles children’s natural love of learning by prioritizing structure and conformity over exploration and joy. Inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s quote, “All good things are wild and free,” Arment advocates for a modern homeschooling approach that breaks from outdated stereotypes (like socially awkward kids or rigid home classrooms) and instead emphasizes a child-led, nature-infused education.
The book outlines key principles of the Wild + Free philosophy, including reconnecting children with the outdoors, using storytelling as a powerful learning tool, and tailoring education to a child’s unique needs and interests. It serves as both a memoir and a manifesto, offering practical advice, encouragement, and resources for parents considering homeschooling, those already doing it, or anyone seeking to supplement traditional education. Arment critiques the stress and limitations of mainstream schooling, proposing instead a model where learning feels like an adventure—blending intellectual growth with emotional and imaginative freedom.
Ultimately, "The Call of the Wild and Free" is a call to action for parents to rethink education, prioritize their children’s well-being, and cultivate a lifelong love of learning by embracing a more intuitive, flexible, and wonder-filled approach.
