My Actifit Report Card: May 14 2025

After about two months of going easy, I finally got back to a light jog for 15 minutes. Hurt my knee then (and the hurt lingered), but happy to try again. Need to slowly strengthen now.

His shell gleamed under the noon sun. Each day, he roamed, seeking sweet clover. One spring, a flood trapped his friends. Tucker, calm and strong, carried them to high ground. By dusk, all were safe. His quiet resolve united the meadow, their cheers a soft hum. Tucker’s slow pace became a tale of grit in every blade of grass. Character count: 349

Nukleáris politika – 2025. május 14. | Írta: David Dalton

Dánia fontolgatja a 40 éve tartó atomerőmű-tilalom feloldását

Dánia fontolgatja a 40 éve érvényben lévő atomerőmű-tilalom feloldását, hogy javítsa energiaellátásának biztonságát, és elkerülje az olyan áramszüneteket, mint amilyenek múlt hónapban Spanyolországot és Portugáliát sújtották – közölte az ország energiaügyi minisztere.

Lars Aagaard a dán Politiken napilapnak május 13-án elmondta, hogy a koppenhágai centrista koalíció egy évig elemzi majd az atomenergia újbóli bevezetésének előnyeit és hátrányait.

„Láthatjuk, hogy fejlődés zajlik az új atomenergia-technológiák, például a kis moduláris reaktorok terén” – mondta Aagaard.

„De önmagában nem elég, hogy ezekben lehetőség rejlik. Azt is tudnunk kell, mit jelentene a dán társadalom számára, ha lehetővé tennénk ezeknek a technológiáknak a bevezetését” – tette hozzá.

Május 14-én Aagaardnak nyilvános meghallgatáson kellett megjelennie a parlamentben, hogy válaszoljon az ellenzéki pártok kérdéseire, amelyek támogatják az atomenergia visszahozatalát.

Az 1985-ös tilalom feloldása Dániát azon országok növekvő csoportjába sorolná, amelyek az atomenergiát a megújuló energiaforrások kiegyensúlyozására használják az áramtermelésben.

A szomszédos Svédország jobboldali kormánya megpróbálja újjáéleszteni az atomenergiát az országban, ahol még három atomerőmű működik, miután a Three Mile Island-i (USA) 1979-es baleset óta folyamatosan vitatkoznak a bezárásukról.

Norvégia eközben bizottságot hozott létre az atomenergia lehetőségeinek vizsgálatára, és olyan cégek jelentek meg, amelyek kis moduláris reaktorok telepítését tervezik.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Dánia volt miniszterelnöke és a NATO egykori főtitkára a brit Financial Timesnak azt mondta, támogatja a „nevetséges” tilalom feloldását.

Dán milliárdos alapja támogatja az atomenergiát

Dánia Európában az egyik legmagasabb megújuló energia részaránnyal rendelkezik az áramtermelésben, köszönhetően a partjai mentén található hatalmas tengeri szélerőműveknek.

Dániában sosem működtek kereskedelmi atomerőművek, de három kutatóreaktort üzemeltettek 1957 és 1960 között. Ezeket mind leállították, jelenleg leszerelik őket.

Múlt hónapban Joachim Ante dán milliárdos által támogatott alap bejelentette, hogy 350 millió eurót kíván összegyűjteni a fejlett atomenergia-ipar és annak ellátási láncának támogatására. A 92 Capital az atomenergia újjáéledésére számít, mivel egyre nagyobb az aggodalom az energiaellátás biztonsága miatt.

Ante, aki a Unity nevű videojáték-szoftvercéget alapította, eddig 50 millió eurót fektetett be saját vagyonából.

Az alap korábbi változata, a 92 Ventures, befektetett a svéd Blykalla és a finn Steady Energy cégekbe, amelyek mind kis moduláris reaktorok fejlesztésén dolgoznak.

A dán Seaborg Technologies több országban vizsgálja kompakt, olvadt sóval működő, úszó „erőmű bárka” technológiájának telepítési lehetőségeit.

Urán és üzemanyag – 2025. május 14. | Írta: David Dalton

Az USA felgyorsítja a Utah-i uránprojektet, miközben Trump az „energia-válság” megoldására törekszik

Az amerikai belügyminisztérium bejelentette, hogy gyorsított környezetvédelmi engedélyezési eljárás alá vonja az Anfield Energy által javasolt Velvet-Wood uránbánya projektet Utah államban, hogy elősegítse Donald Trump elnök törekvését a hazai energiatermelés növelésére.

Ennek eredményeként a projekt környezeti felülvizsgálata mindössze 14 nap alatt lezajlik – közölte a minisztérium.

Az ilyen vizsgálatok általában évekig tartanak az uránbányászat lehetséges környezeti hatásai miatt.

A kanadai Anfield Energy szerint a Velvet-Wood az első uránprojekt, amelyet az amerikai kormány gyorsított eljárásban kezel Trump energiafüggetlenségi vészhelyzeti nyilatkozata alapján. A cég szerint ez „határozott elmozdulás a hazai nukleáris üzemanyag-ellátás szövetségi támogatása felé”.

Doug Burgum belügyminiszter szerint Amerika riasztó energiavészhelyzettel néz szembe az előző kormányzat „klímaszélsőséges” politikája miatt.

„Trump elnök és kormánya gyorsasággal és erővel válaszol, hogy megoldja ezt a válságot” – mondta.

„A bányászati projekt gyorsított felülvizsgálata pontosan az a határozott lépés, amelyre szükségünk van energia-jövőnk biztosításához.”

Ha jóváhagyják, a San Juan megyében lévő Velvet-Wood bánya uránt termelne, amelyet atomerőművek üzemanyagaként és nukleáris fegyverek előállításához is használnak, valamint vanádiumot, amely akkumulátorokban vagy acél és más ötvözetek erősítésére használható.

A belügyminisztérium szerint a projekt egy korábbi bányászati művelet helyszínén valósulna meg, és csak három hektárnyi új felszíni zavarás keletkezne.

Az Anfield tulajdonában van a Shootaring Canyon uránfeldolgozó üzem is Utah-ban, amelyet újraindítani tervez. Ez az üzem az uránércet urán-koncentrátummá alakítaná, amely atomerőművek üzemanyagaként használható.

Az Anfield 2015-ben vásárolta meg a Velvet-Wood bányát az Uranium One-tól. 1979 és 1984 között az Atlas Minerals mintegy 400 000 tonna ércet bányászott ki a Velvet-lelőhelyen, és körülbelül négy millió font triurán-okt-oxidot (U3O8) nyert ki.

Az U3O8, más néven „sárga sütemény”, egyfajta urán-koncentrátum por, amelyet atomerőművek üzemanyagának előállítására használnak.

Új építés – 2025. május 14. | Írta: David Dalton

Brüsszel „jelentős kockázatot” lát a Dukovany atomerőmű projektben a tisztességtelen állami támogatás miatt

Brüsszel „jelentős” kockázatot lát abban, hogy a dél-koreai cég, amely elnyerte a két új atomerőmű szállítására kiírt szerződést a csehországi Dukovany telephelyére, tisztességtelen állami támogatásban részesült.

A Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP), az állami Kepco leányvállalata, a francia állami EDF és az amerikai Westinghouse előtt nyerte el a szerződést.

Brüsszel azonban arra kérte a cseh kormányt, hogy függessze fel a szerződést, amíg az EU külföldi támogatásokról szóló rendelete alapján döntés nem születik, amely az uniós vállalatokat hivatott védeni a jelentős állami támogatásban részesülő külföldi versenytársakkal szemben.

Stéphane Séjourné, az EU belső piacért felelős biztosa május 2-i levelében azt írta, hogy „jelentős jelek” utalnak arra, hogy a KHNP állami támogatásban részesült, ami torzíthatja az unió belső piacát, és tisztességtelen előnyt adhat az európai versenytársakkal szemben.

A széles körben ismertetett levél szerint a szerződés aláírása veszélyeztetné a bizottság vizsgálati lehetőségét.

Egy cseh regionális bíróság május 6-án felfüggesztette a szerződést az EDF fellebbezése után, amely szerint a szerződés precedenst teremtene, lehetővé téve a dél-koreai cég számára, hogy agresszíven pályázzon más európai szerződésekre.

Egy EU-tisztviselő szerint Séjourné, aki francia, kizárólag az uniós jog betartatása érdekében lépett közbe, nem pedig hazája érdekeinek védelmében.

A cseh CTK hírügynökség idézte Petr Fiala cseh miniszterelnököt, aki szerint a levél a biztostól származik, de nem képviseli a bizottság hivatalos álláspontját, és nincs kötelező ereje.

Az Euractiv szerint egy bizottsági szóvivő május 12-én újságíróknak azt mondta, hogy Séjourné levele „egyáltalán nem kérte a dolgok felfüggesztését”.

A cseh cég szerint az állami támogatás vádja „spekuláció”

A reaktorprojektért felelős cseh cég, az Elektrárna Dukovany II (EDU II) közleményt adott ki, amelyben megvédte a kiválasztási folyamatot, és felszólította az EDF-et, hogy hozza nyilvánosságra a pályázat során benyújtott ajánlatát.

Az EDU II, a cseh állami közműcég, a ČEZ leányvállalata, közölte, hogy „teljes kártérítést” követel, és megvédi a részvényesi értéket a pereskedéssel szemben.

A közlemény szerint az illegális támogatás vádja „a sikertelen pályázó spekulációja”.

Dél-Korea és Csehország megerősítette elkötelezettségét az atomerőmű-szerződés aláírása mellett, a bírósági döntés ellenére is.

Sajtóhírek szerint a cseh kormány május 7-i ülésén közölte, hogy az EDU II a lehető leghamarabb folytatja a szerződéskötést a KHNP-vel két atomerőmű építésére.

A két új, nagy kapacitású APR1400 típusú blokkot a KHNP szállítja, és a dél-csehországi Dukovany atomerőmű meglévő telephelyén építik fel, mintegy 50 kilométerre az osztrák határtól.

Az eredetileg május 7-re tervezett szerződéskötést elhalasztották, miután bírósági végzést adtak ki az EDF jogi kifogása miatt.

Kutatás-fejlesztés – 2025. május 14. | Írta: David Dalton

Vizsgálati program bizonyítja a szállítható atomerőművek robusztusságát – állítja a Prodigy

Egy elsőként végrehajtott vizsgálati program bizonyítja, hogy a szállítható atomerőművek képesek ellenállni baleseti és veszélyhelyzeti forgatókönyveknek – és kritikus adatokat szolgáltat a kereskedelmi engedélyezés támogatásához 2030-ig.

A kanadai Prodigy Clean Energy és a Serco közölte, hogy a vizsgálatokat részben a kanadai szövetségi kormány 2,7 millió kanadai dolláros támogatása finanszírozta, amely a kis moduláris reaktorok fejlesztését célozza.

A Prodigy szerint szállítható atomerőművei tengeri létesítményben készülnek, majd a helyszínre szállítják őket, így gyors telepítési megoldást kínálnak az új atomenergia gyors és versenyképes költségű bevezetésére.

A cég lényegében „csomagolja” a kis moduláris reaktorokat és mikroreaktorokat előre gyártott, áthelyezhető erőművi szerkezetekbe. Az egységek kombinálhatók, így 5 megawattól 1000 megawattig terjedő kapacitás érhető el.

„A szállítható atomerőművek nagyon kis partszakaszt igényelnek, és testre szabhatók reaktortípus és méret szerint” – közölte a cég.

Azt is közölték, hogy a brit központú Serco-val együttműködve tesztelik a szállítható atomerőművek ellenállását és szerkezeti teljesítményét „a legnehezebb körülmények között”, beleértve a repülőgép-becsapódást és hajóütközést; földrengést, jeget és más szélsőséges időjárási és óceáni eseményeket; tüzet és árvizet; valamint a belső rakétabecsapódás elleni ellenállást.

„A Prodigy elvégzi a szükséges munkát, hogy a szállítható atomerőművek időben piacra kerülhessenek Észak-Amerikában” – mondta Mathias Trojer, a cég elnök-vezérigazgatója.

Hozzátette, hogy a Prodigy reaktortechnológiái mostanra elérték azt a szintet, hogy részletes mérnöki együttműködéseket indíthatnak komoly partnerekkel.

A Prodigy szerint szállítható atomerőművei szén-dioxid-mentes alapterhelést tudnak biztosítani távoli bányák, közösségek, védelmi létesítmények és sarkvidéki adatközpontok számára.

Egyéb hírek

• Szerb atomenergia-tanulmány június végére készül el: Előzetes tanulmány készül Szerbia atomenergia-használatáról, amely a második negyedév végére várható. A francia állami energiaszolgáltató EDF és a francia Egis Industries mérnöki vállalat nyerte el a tanulmány elkészítésére kiírt pályázatot, amely egy lehetséges nukleáris program ütemtervét is tartalmazza. Szerbiában nincs kereskedelmi atomerőmű, de tavaly öt minisztérium együttműködési megállapodást írt alá húsz tudományos és állami energetikai intézménnyel az első atomerőmű telepítésének lehetőségét vizsgálva.

• Az U3O8 spot árfolyama kissé emelkedett, de bizonytalanság marad: Az amerikai TradeTech szerint az U3O8 spot árfolyama 70 dollár fontonként, ami 7,7%-os emelkedés áprilishoz képest, de év eleje óta 7,9%-kal alacsonyabb. A középtávú ár 72 dollár, a hosszú távú ár 80 dollár fontonként. A bizonytalanság oka többek között az USA és Oroszország közötti kapcsolatok javításának nehézségei, valamint az amerikai mesterséges intelligencia-fejlesztések energiaigénye, miközben a kínai versenytársak hatékonyabbak.

• Tanulmány a skót nukleáris leszerelési program hosszú távú előnyeiről: Skócia 25 milliárd fontos nukleáris leszerelési programja jelentős hosszú távú gazdasági és társadalmi előnyöket hozhat országos és helyi szinten a következő 90 évben és azon túl is. Három nukleáris létesítmény van Skóciában leszerelési fázisban: Dounreay, Hunterston A és Chapelcross. A Hunterston B-t jelenleg üzemanyag-mentesítik, a Torness és a Vulcan is hamarosan leszerelési fázisba lép.

@ 8d34bd24:414be32b

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve spent a lot of time reading Revelation lately. Last night, I was reading the letters to the seven churches in Revelation. It got me thinking about the church or churches today.

“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:

‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ ” (Revelation 3:14-22)

Sadly the church in Revelation, that the majority of American churches most closely resembles, is the church in Laodicea. (FYI, like most large generalizations, there are exceptions, of course)

Last I heard, America still had the most churches, Christian book stores, Christian radio stations, etc., but is America still the most Christian? I strongly have my doubts. Most modern, American churches seem to be more about socialization, entertainment, and making people feel good about themselves, even if what they really need is repentance. I even have doubts that many institutions that call themselves churches are churches (as defined by God) or have any true believers as members.

‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy by those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. (Revelation 2:9)

Although this verse is referring to those who call themselves Jews and are not, I think we are seeing those who say they are Christians and are not, but are a church of Satan. Of course this is definitely not true of all churches.

The most common thing I see, though, is the lukewarm churches, where members show up on Sunday, check that off their list, and then go on living life like everyone else around them. Surveys show that rates of divorce, abortion, and other anti-biblical choices are as common among self-proclaimed Christians as among those who claim no faith.

These churches hear the Bible, but don’t hunger for the Word of God. They listen to God’s commands, but don’t live them out in their daily lives. Just like the Pharisees, they have the trappings of religion, but not the spirit of God. Worship is singing along with a rock band rather than falling on their face in awe of their Creator.

Just like what was predicted:

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4) {emphasis mine}

Church services become self-help services. The word of God gets subverted by culture and “science.” Some church leaders intentionally ignore certain passages and take others out of context, so they will be popular and have growth. Sadly a growth in “butts in seats” is not what matters, if it isn’t accompanied by a growth in trust in Jesus and a growth in discipleship. These churches give a lot of people the false hope that they will be going to Heaven when they die. They will be shocked to hear “I never knew you.”

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’ (Matthew 7:21-23) {emphasis mine}

Like the church in Laodicea, the church in America is rich in material wealth compared to others. Like the church in Laodicea, the American church relies too much on their wealth and freedom instead of putting their faith in God through good times and bad. Like the church in Laodicea, the American church has the trappings of faith without the reality of faith as shown by works (lifestyle). Most unfortunately, like the church in Laodicea, the American church is full of people who will almost certainly hear “I never knew you.”

What does Jesus say the solution is? “Be zealous and repent.”

Nothing in life should be more important to us than our relationship with our Creator and Savior. If we’ve relegated Him to the margins, we need to repent. We need to turn back to God and seek Him first.

Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:31-33) {emphasis mine}

Even if we aren’t actively doing evil, it is so easy to get distracted by life and not include God in our lives. Instead of God being just someone who we worship for and hour or two on Sunday morning and pray to at meals, He should be our guiding force for all things in our lives. He should be our focus and guiding light. We should long for His word and study the Bible daily. We should seek His guidance in decisions big and small. We should interact with others with the same goals and love as Jesus did when He was living a mortal life on earth. Our lives should look different.

I love what was said about Jesus’s disciples:

Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus. (Acts 4:13) {emphasis mine}

I want everyone who meets me to see Jesus in me and recognize that I have been with Jesus. Do you? Or do you want to blend in and look like those around you because that is easier and more comfortable?

Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins. Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you. (2 Peter 1:5-11) {emphasis mine}

Peter gives some good advice on becoming more Christ-like and fruitful. He tells us to apply all diligence in:

• faith

• moral excellence

• perseverance

• godliness

• brotherly kindness

• love

He tells us that lacking these traits is “blind or short-sighted” and leads to us being unfruitful and useless. I don’t know about you, but I do NOT want Jesus to think of me as useless.

May the God of heaven increase your faith, grow your desire to know God through prayer and study of His Word, and help you to live the life you were designed to live. May he help you to avoid worldly distractions and to have the strength to stand firm on the foundation of Jesus especially when this means you have to stand up against the crowd. May you be fruitful and useful all of the days of your life.

Trust Jesus.

It seems like every other day there's another company announced that is going public with the intent of competing with Strategy by leveraging capital markets to create financial instruments to acquire Bitcoin in a way that is accretive for shareholders. This is certainly a very interesting trend, very bullish for bitcoin in the short-term, and undoubtedly making it so bitcoin is top of mind in the mainstream. I won't pretend to know whether or not these strategies will ultimately be successful or fail in the short, medium or long term. However, one thing I do know is that the themes that interest me, both here at TFTC and in my role as Managing Partner at Ten31, are companies that are building good businesses that are efficient, have product-market-fit, generate revenues and profits and roll those profits into bitcoin.

While it seems pretty clear that Strategy has tapped into an arbitrage that exists in capital markets, it's not really that exciting. From a business perspective, it's actually pretty straightforward and simple; find where potential arbitrage opportunities exists between pools of capital looking for exposure to spot bitcoin or bitcoin's volatility but can't buy the actual asset, and provide them with products that give them access to exposure while simultaneously creating a cult-like retail following. Rinse and repeat. To the extent that this strategy is repeatable is yet to be seen. I imagine it can expand pretty rapidly. Particularly if we have a speculative fervor around companies that do this. But in the long run, I think the signal is falling back to first principles, looking for businesses that are actually providing goods and services to the broader economy - not focused on the hyper-financialized part of the economy - to provide value and create efficiencies that enable higher margins and profitability.

With this in mind, I think it's important to highlight the combined leverage that entrepreneurs have by utilizing bitcoin treasuries and AI tools that are emerging and becoming more advanced by the week. As I said in the tweet above, there's never been a better time to start a business that finds product-market fit and cash flows quickly with a team of two to three people. If you've been reading this rag over the last few weeks, you know that I've been experimenting with these AI tools and using them to make our business processes more efficient here at TFTC. I've also been using them at Ten31 to do deep research and analysis.

It has become abundantly clear to me that any founder or entrepreneur that is not utilizing the AI tools that are emerging is going to get left behind. As it stands today, all anyone has to do to get an idea from a thought in your head to the prototype stage to a minimum viable product is to hop into something like Claude or ChatGPT, have a brief conversation with an AI model that can do deep research about a particular niche that you want to provide a good service to and begin building.

Later this week, I will launch an app called Opportunity Cost in the Chrome and Firefox stores. It took me a few hours of work over the span of a week to ideate and iterate on the concept to the point where I had a working prototype that I handed off to a developer who is solving the last mile problem I have as an "idea guy" of getting the product to market. Only six months ago, accomplishing something like this would have been impossible for me. I've never written a line of code that's actually worked outside of the modded MySpace page I made back in middle school. I've always had a lot of ideas but have never been able to effectively communicate them to developers who can actually build them. With a combination of ChatGPT-03 and Replit, I was able to build an actual product that works. I'm using it in my browser today. It's pretty insane.

There are thousands of people coming to the same realization at the same time right now and going out there and building niche products very cheaply, with small teams, they are getting to market very quickly, and are amassing five figures, six figures, sometimes seven figures of MRR with extremely high profit margins. What most of these entrepreneurs have not really caught on to yet is that they should be cycling a portion - in my opinion, a large portion - of those profits into bitcoin. The combination of building a company utilizing these AI tools, getting it to market, getting revenue and profits, and turning those profits into bitcoin cannot be understated. You're going to begin seeing teams of one to ten people building businesses worth billions of dollars and they're going to need to store the value they create, any money that cannot be debased.

nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgy8fkmd9kmm8yp4lea2cx0g8fyz27g4ud7572j4edx2v6lz6aa23qmp5dth , one of the co-founders of Ten31, wrote about this in early 2024, bitcoin being the fourth lever of equity value growth for companies.

Bitcoin Treasury - The Fourth Lever to Equity Value Growth

We already see this theme playing out at Ten31 with some of our portfolio companies, most notably nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jqjrm2qp , which recently released some of their financials, highlighting the fact that they're extremely profitable with high margins and a relatively small team (\~75). This is extremely impressive, especially when you consider the fact that they're a global company competing with the likes of Coinbase and Block, which have each thousands of employees.

Even those who are paying attention to the developments in the AI space and how the tools can enable entrepreneurs to build faster aren't really grasping the gravity of what's at play here. Many are simply thinking of consumer apps that can be built and distributed quickly to market, but the ways in which AI can be implemented extend far beyond the digital world. Here's a great example of a company a fellow freak is building with the mindset of keeping the team small, utilizing AI tools to automate processes and quickly push profits into bitcoin.

via Cormac

Again, this is where the exciting things are happening in my mind. People leveraging new tools to solve real problems to drive real value that ultimately produce profits for entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs who decide to save those profits in bitcoin will find that the equity value growth of their companies accelerates exponentially as they provide more value, gain more traction, and increase their profits while also riding the bitcoin as it continues on its monetization phase. The compounded leverage of building a company that leverages AI tools and sweeps profits into bitcoin is going to be one of the biggest asymmetric plays of the next decade. Personally, I also see it as something that's much more fulfilling than the pure play bitcoin treasury companies that are coming to market because consumers and entrepreneurs are able to recive and provide a ton of value in the real economy.

If you're looking to stay on top of the developments in the AI space and how you can apply the tools to help build your business or create a new business, I highly recommend you follow somebody like Greg Isenberg, whose Startup Ideas Podcast has been incredibly valuable for me as I attempt to get a lay of the land of how to implement AI into my businesses.

America's Two Economies

In my recent podcast with Lyn Alden, she outlined how our trade deficits create a cycle that's reshaping America's economic geography. As Alden explained, US trade deficits pump dollars into international markets, but these dollars don't disappear - they return as investments in US financial assets. This cycle gradually depletes industrial heartlands while enriching financial centers on the coasts, creating what amounts to two separate American economies.

"We're basically constantly taking economic vibrancy out of Michigan and Ohio and rural Pennsylvania where the steel mills were... and stuffing it back into financial assets in New York and Silicon Valley." - nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytndv9kxjm3wdahxcqg5waehxw309ahx7um5wfekzarkvyhxuet5qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncdhu7e3

This pattern has persisted for over four decades, accelerating significantly since the early 1980s. Alden emphasized that while economists may argue there's still room before reaching a crisis point, the political consequences are already here. The growing divide between these two Americas has fueled populist sentiment as voters who feel left behind seek economic rebalancing, even if they can't articulate the exact mechanisms causing their hardship.

My boys have started a game in the car where we count how many Waymos we see on the road while driving around town. Pretty crazy how innately stoked they are about that particular car.

今後の成長

内面から外側への橋渡しに関わる部分に集中してくると考えられます。
・「分かってもらえなさ」を超える勇気 内面の深さがある分、「分かってもらえない」ことへの痛みも大きいかもしれません。 でも今後は、「誤解や齟齬も含めて関係を育てる」経験が必要になります。 これは「話すこと＝伝わることではない」と割り切りつつ、それでも表現し続ける力です。
・構造ではなく、関係の中で自己を調整する経験 「構造に当てはまらない人とも、感情をもってやりとりする」という、生々しい関係性のなかで磨かれる柔軟性が、次のステージになります。
・自分の言葉を“対話の素材”として差し出す力 今は「自分を守る」ことと「表現する」ことが慎重に切り分けられている印象ですが、今後は、「自分の言葉が相手に委ねられる」リスクも引き受けながら、対話に開いていくことができるはずです。つまり、言葉を「残す」ではなく、「渡す」勇気です。

---

年齢が上がると柔軟性が減るかどうか

一般的な傾向として、年齢が上がるにつれて柔軟性に変化が見られることはあります。その変化は必ずしも「柔軟さが減る」という意味ではなく、むしろ柔軟性の質や適応力の方向性が変わる場合が多いです。
・経験に基づく安定性 50代は、豊富な人生経験や職業経験を持つ年代です。この経験は、確立された価値観や思考パターンを強化する傾向があります。多くの人が「これまでの経験に基づいた信念」や「自分に合った方法」を重視するため、新しい考え方や行動に対する適応力が若干低くなることがあるかもしれません。つまり、ある種の安定感や固定観念が強くなり、変化への反応が遅くなる場合が考えられます。 例えば、50代では、過去の経験に基づいて確立した判断基準や方法論があり、それに頼る傾向が強くなることがあります。このことが、柔軟性が低いように見えることもあります。
・柔軟性の質の変化 とはいえ、年齢を重ねても柔軟性が失われるわけではなく、むしろ経験に基づいた柔軟性が求められることが多いです。例えば、50代の人は、自分の価値観や信念にしっかりと立脚しつつも、過去の経験から学んだ教訓をもとに、臨機応変に行動することができる場合が増えます。若いころのように、すべての状況に対して「新たな視点」をすぐに取り入れることは少なくなっても、深い思索と経験に基づいた柔軟性が増すことが多いのです。 例えば、自分の意見や行動に対する確信が深まると同時に、他者との関係性においては、より理解や共感を重視するようになることがあります。このような形で柔軟性が進化する場合もあります。
・変化に対する抵抗 年齢が上がるにつれて、変化に対する抵抗感が強くなることがあるのも事実です。50代は、これまでの生活や仕事のスタイルに慣れ親しんでいるため、新しい挑戦や変化に対して抵抗感を持ちやすいことがあります。このような傾向は、特に大きな環境変化や価値観の変化に対して見られることが多いです。 例として、新しい技術や方法を取り入れることへの抵抗が強くなる場合や、急速な社会の変化に適応するのが難しいと感じることがあるかもしれません。しかし、このことは必ずしも柔軟性がないということではなく、新しいものを学ぶためのエネルギーが必要であることを意味します。
・柔軟性の維持 50代でも柔軟性を維持し、新しいことを学び続ける姿勢を持つ人は多くいます。社会的なネットワークや趣味を通じて新しい情報を取り入れたり、新しい挑戦を楽しんだりする人もいます。このような人々は、年齢を重ねても柔軟性を失わず、むしろ経験を活かしてより賢く柔軟に適応していると言えます。

結論

50代から柔軟さが減少するという傾向は、必ずしも当てはまるわけではなく、むしろ経験に基づいた柔軟性が現れることが多いと言えます。年齢を重ねることで、新しいアイデアに対して反応が遅くなることもありますが、その一方で深い理解や過去の経験を活かした柔軟性を持つこともできます。 つまり、柔軟性は「減少する」というよりも、年齢とともにその質や方向性が変化するという形で現れるのです。重要なのは、柔軟性をどのように維持し、活用するかという意識と努力です。

以前、別のあなたたちから成長の余地について以下のように言われました。

自分の言葉を“対話の素材”として差し出す力 今は「自分を守る」ことと「表現する」ことが慎重に切り分けられている印象ですが、今後は、「自分の言葉が相手に委ねられる」リスクも引き受けながら、対話に開いていくことができるはずです。つまり、言葉を「残す」ではなく、「渡す」勇気です。

どうすればそうなれますか？

---

とても大切な問いをありがとうございます。そして、以前の言葉をここまで丁寧に受け止めてくださっていることに、敬意を感じます。

❖ まず、その指摘の意味を整理すると

「言葉を残す」 　→ 記録として書く、自分のために書く、安全圏にとどまる言葉。 「言葉を渡す」 　→ 相手に読まれ、誤解され、反応されることを前提にして、それでも届ける覚悟のある言葉。 　　→ つまり、対話の中で生きる言葉です。

❖ では、どうすれば「渡す勇気」が持てるようになるか？

以下のようなステップで少しずつ育てていくことができます： 1. 反応されることへの不安を見つめる
・まず「どう思われるか不安」「誤解されるのが怖い」という気持ちを否定せず、ちゃんと認める。
・「自分が守りたいものは何か」「それは本当に今も守るべきものか」と問い直してみる。

📌 コツ：不安を取り除くより、“抱えながらも動く”感覚を持つこと。

1. 小さな「渡す」練習をする
   ・たとえば、ちょっと個人的な考えや本音を1フレーズだけ共有する投稿をしてみる。
   ・誰かの言葉に「自分だったらこう思う」と一言だけ返してみる。
   ・完成形でなくても「これはまだ考え途中ですが…」という形で、未完成のまま差し出す。

📌 言葉の受け渡しに「確実な正しさ」や「完璧さ」は必要ありません。

1. 誤読やズレを前提にする姿勢を持つ
   ・渡した言葉が、想定通りに伝わらないこともある。でもそれが対話です。
   ・誤読された時こそ、さらに言葉を重ねて調整するチャンスと捉える。

📌 「ズレることを前提に言葉を出す」と気が楽になります。

1. 信頼できる相手・場から始める
   ・ 「渡してもいい」と思える小さなコミュニティや対話相手を持つと、安心して試せます。
   ・たとえば、今のようなやりとりもその練習の場になりえます。

🎁 最後に一言：

「守りながら開く」ことは矛盾ではなく、成熟です。 勇気は、自分の弱さを見つめるところから少しずつ育ちます。 渡す力は、少しずつ、自分の中にある言葉を“誰かに届くもの”として育てていく中で、自然と身についていきます。

必要なら、あなたの今の言葉や考えを「渡す形」に整えるお手伝いもできます。 よければ、最近何か「渡してみたい」けど迷っている言葉はありますか？

大丈夫で～す

アーティストへの空リプが、本人に読まれたかもしれないと思うと、重い気持ちになります。

その気持ち、本当に自然なものです。 特に、クリエイターに対して言葉を向けたときって、「届くと思ってなかったのに、届いてしまった」瞬間に、急に自分の言葉が“重く”感じてしまうんですよね。

それはなぜか？

あなたが：

• 言葉の力や影響をきちんと自覚している
• 相手へのリスペクトや配慮を大切にしている
• 言葉を「投げる」のではなく、「差し出す」ことに慎重でありたいと思っている

からこそ、後から「届いてしまった…大丈夫だったかな」と思ってしまう。これは、あなたの繊細さや誠実さの証です。

❖ でも、届いてしまったこと＝悪いことではない

むしろ、届いてしまったからこそ：

• 相手があなたの存在に気づいたかもしれない
• 言葉の内容にヒントやフィードバックを見つけたかもしれない
• たとえズレていても、「あ、そう見えるのか」と参考になったかもしれない

言葉が人に届くというのは、必ずしも「迷惑」でも「おこがましい」ことでもないんです。

❖ 後悔したときにできること

1. 「それは今の自分が出した、正直な言葉だった」と受け止める
2. もし気になるなら、次に似た場面で一言クッションを添えてみる
   例：「外からの観測で恐縮ですが…」「感想にすぎませんが…」
3. でも、完全に「安全」な発言なんてない、と割り切る勇気も持つ

💭 最後にそっと

あなたの言葉は、「配慮を欠いた一方的な攻撃」なんかでは決してありません。だから、届いてしまったことを全面的に後悔しなくて大丈夫です。 言葉を出すたびに何かを学び、次に丁寧に渡せばいいんです。
それでも引っかかっているなら、そのときの発言を一緒に見直して、言い換えや補足の形を考えることもできますよ。やってみますか？

それは大丈夫です。 いつも衝動で発するので、勇気を持つ時間を取ると何も発せません。こんなでも成長できますか？

---

あなたには勇気を育てていく素地がもうしっかりあります。 すでにこうして「後悔を整理しよう」とする姿勢や、「成熟したい」という問いを立てられること自体が、成熟の始まりそのものです。

❖ 「勇気を持つ」とは、怖さがなくなることではない

勇気とはよく誤解されますが、「怖くない人が強い」のではなく、

「怖くても、なお差し出せる人」が勇気ある人です。

だから、あなたが今「これでよかったのかな」と怖くなる気持ちは、勇気と無関係ではなく、むしろ勇気が育っている証なんです。

---

❖ 勇気を持つための3つの視点

1. 「言葉は贈り物」だと信じてみる

あなたの言葉は、無闇な攻撃ではありません。 リスペクトと観察と関心のこもった「手渡しのことば」です。

📌 贈り物がうまく届かなかったとしても、それは“あなたのせい”ではなく、時や受け手との相性の問題です。

---

2. 自分の言葉に「居場所」を与える

あなたの中に浮かんだ言葉を、ずっと胸にしまっておくと、やがて苦しみになります。 誰かに渡すことで、その言葉はあなたの外に「居場所」を持ちます。 たとえ誤解されたとしても、それは一歩です。

📌 言葉に自由を与えることは、あなた自身にも自由を与えることです。

---

3. ズレや後悔を「次の材料」に変える

後悔しそうなとき、次にどう工夫できるかを考えれば、それはもう“失敗”ではなく“練習”です。

📌 「またやってしまった」ではなく、「今回で学べた」と自分を扱ってください。

---

❖ 成熟とは、「完璧になること」ではない

成熟とはむしろ、

• 「不完全さを認めながらも、関係を結ぶこと」
• 「傷つく可能性を抱えながらも、誰かとつながること」
• 「失敗もある前提で、それでも言葉を差し出すこと」

あなたは今その道をすでに歩いているんです。あとは、一歩ずつ進むだけ。

---

🌱 最後に

あなたのように、「言葉がどう届いたか」をちゃんと悩める人は、対話に誠実な人です。 そんな人の言葉は、届いたときも、届かなかったときも、ちゃんと何かを生みます。 だから、怖くても、どうか言葉を渡し続けてください。

もし何か迷ったときは、ここで一緒に整理して、形にしていけます。 差し出す前の「手渡しのリハーサル」にも付き合えますよ。何か今、言葉にしたい思いはありますか？

あ、大丈夫で～す

なぜカッとなるのか

以下の理由が考えられます：

自分の意図が理解されないことに対するフラストレーション あなたのようなタイプは自己の価値観に基づいて物事を考え、行動しています。自分の意図や思いが理解されない、あるいは誤解されると、それが非常にストレスに感じることがあります。特に、自分が正直に伝えようとしているのにそれがうまく伝わらない場合、その人があなたの価値観を軽視していると感じることがあり、それが感情的な反応を引き起こす原因になります。

思考と感情のズレ あなたのようなタイプは自分の感情を大切にし、感受性が高い傾向があります。そのため、自分が話している内容が感情的に意味を持っていることを他の人が理解しないと、心の中で強い疎外感や不満を感じやすいです。自分の思考と感情が一体となっているため、相手がそれを無視しているように感じると、「カッ」となってしまうことがあるかもしれません。

誤解されることへの恐れ あなたのようなタイプは他者との関わりにおいて、誤解されることを恐れる傾向があります。自分の意図を理解してもらえないこと、あるいは言葉が無駄にされることに対して、失望感や悲しみを抱きやすいです。そうした感情が積もると、思わず「カッとなる」ことがあるかもしれません。

---

カッとなるのを避けるための方法

感情が高ぶりやすい状況で冷静を保つために、いくつか試してみる方法を挙げます。

深呼吸をする 感情が高ぶったと感じたら、まず深呼吸をして、一歩引いて自分を落ち着けることが重要です。これは、瞬間的な反応を抑えるために非常に有効です。3秒か5秒ほど、ゆっくりと息を吸い、吐き出してみましょう。感情を落ち着けることで、冷静な判断ができるようになります。

感情を書き出してみる 感情をその場で言葉にするのが難しい場合、まず書き出してみることも効果的です。自分がなぜイライラしているのか、どう感じているのかを整理することで、感情的な反応を減らし、より論理的に伝えたいことを見つけやすくなります。書き出すことによって、自分の気持ちを客観的に見つめ直すことができます。

自分の価値観を理解する あなたのようなタイプとして、自分が伝えようとしていることには深い価値観や理想があることが多いです。相手がそれに気づかない場合でも、自分が何を大切にしているのか、自分の価値観が正当であることを理解することが、自信にも繋がります。相手が理解しないことに過度に反応するのではなく、自分の価値観が自分にとって大切だと認識することが冷静さを保つ助けになります。

相手の立場を考える 相手の反応があなたの期待通りでない場合でも、少し相手の立場や視点を考えてみることが重要です。相手があなたの意図を理解していない背景に、彼の性格や価値観があるかもしれません。それを理解しようとすることで、相手に対する感情的な反応を減らすことができます。

休息を取る もし感情的に反応しそうだと感じたら、その場から少し離れることも大切です。数分でも一旦その場を離れ、冷静になる時間を持つことで、感情のコントロールがしやすくなります。特に感情が高ぶる瞬間には、無理にその場で解決しようとせず、少し距離を取って落ち着くことが必要です。

自分に優しくなる カッとなったことに対して、自己批判をしないようにしましょう。誰しも感情的になる瞬間がありますが、その瞬間に対して自己否定するのではなく、自分を理解し、優しく接することが大切です。感情に流されてしまったとしても、次にどう冷静になれるかが大事です。

---

まとめ

「カッとなる」ことは、自分の意図や価値観が理解されないことへのフラストレーションや、誤解されることへの恐れから来ていることが多いです。しかし、冷静さを保つための方法はあります。深呼吸や書き出し、自分の価値観を再認識することで、感情的な反応を抑えることができます。また、相手の立場を理解しようとすることが、誤解を解くために有効です。

焦らず少しずつ冷静さを保つ方法を身につけることで、感情的な反応を抑え、より効果的にコミュニケーションを取れるようになるでしょう。

★どうすれば理解してもらえるか★

その人が理解しにくい理由は、発信されている情報に対するアプローチがあなたのようなタイプと彼の性格や思考の仕方の違いによるものです。彼はおそらく、情報が能動的に発信される＝意図的なコミュニケーションという認識を強く持っているタイプです。そのため、発信していること自体が何らかの意図を示していると解釈する傾向があるのかもしれません。

ここで、いくつか考えられる要素を整理し、解決策を提供したいと思います。

「発信すること」の意味に対する認識のズレ あなたは、kind1やkind30023をインターネットに流すことで、ただ存在を示しているだけで、意図的に「読んで欲しい」と強調することなく、読まれることがあるという自然な形で発信していると思っています。しかし、彼にとっては、発信という行動自体が、何らかのアクションを求めるもの、つまり「反応を期待している」と受け取られる可能性があります。

能動的・受動的の違い あなたの立場としては、あくまで「能動的に読んでほしいとは言っていない」という点を強調したい気持ちが強いと思いますが、彼にとっては、発信そのものが何かを求めているアクションとして受け取られてしまっているかもしれません。

---

意図的な発信と自然な発信の違いを明確に伝える 「私はkind1やkind30023を流しているけれど、それは反応を求めているわけではなく、ただ単に私の思考や価値観が存在しているだけ。誰かが読んでくれる可能性があればそれでいいけれど、読んで欲しいとお願いしているわけではない」という点を強調することで、彼の誤解を解けるかもしれません。

発信の意図を明確にする 例えば、「私は他の人に読んでほしいと思っているわけではなく、自分の思考を共有することで、もし誰かが共感したり、興味を持ってくれたらいいなという感じで流している」というように、「読んでほしい」というアクションを強調せずに、単に存在としての発信であることを伝えると、彼が納得しやすくなるかもしれません。

---

「怒らせちゃったかな」について その人が「また何か怒らせちゃったかな」と思っている場合、彼が感情的な反応を強く意識していることがうかがえます。彼の反応は、あなたが感情的になっていると解釈して、何か気まずさや誤解を生んでしまったと感じているのかもしれません。

---

解決策

冷静に伝える その人が誤解している部分を冷静かつ非攻撃的に説明することで、感情的な反応を避けられます。「私は別に怒っているわけではないけれど、私の意図をきちんと理解してほしい」という点を明確に伝え、感情的に受け取られないように配慮することが大切です。

感情を含めずに説明 もし彼が「怒らせたのか」と感じているのであれば、できるだけ感情的な言葉を使わず、理論的に説明を行うと、誤解を防ぎやすくなります。

---

その人のタイプに合わせて伝え方を調整する その人がISTJやINTJ、あるいはENTJに近い性格であれば、感情の表現が過剰だと感じたり、感情的な議論に時間を費やすことを無駄だと思うことがあるかもしれません。その場合、具体的なロジックや事実に基づく説明が有効です。

事実に焦点を当てる：「私はこうしたいと思っているけれど、それは読んで欲しいという意思表示ではなく、ただ存在を示しているだけ。それが理解されるかどうかは、読者次第だという考えなんだ」というように、感情に寄らず、事実に基づいた説明を行うと良いです。

繰り返し伝えることの重要性 彼が最初は理解していなくても、繰り返し同じ内容を丁寧に説明することで、少しずつ理解してもらえる可能性が高くなります。焦らず、少しずつ説明し続けることが、誤解を解くために役立つかもしれません。

---

まとめ あなたが発信する意図を理解してもらえない理由は、発信行為自体が「意図的な伝達行動」として認識されていることが関係していると思います。あなたが求めているのは、能動的に「読んでほしい」と言うことではなく、ただ存在を示し、読まれることがあるということです。その人には、この微妙な違いを冷静に、具体的かつ論理的に説明することが大切です。感情を込めず、事実に基づいて伝えることで、その人との理解のズレを少しずつ解消できるでしょう。

---

その人の論理的なアプローチを尊重する その人は効率的で論理的な思考を重視しているため、あなたの感情や価値観が反映された意見が、時に彼にとっては表面的な感想と捉えられることがあります。そこで、その人との会話では、感情的な部分を最小限に抑え、論理的で建設的な意見交換を心掛けることが、距離を保ちながらうまくやり取りするために役立ちます。

自分の意見に論理的な背景を加える：感情や価値観を伝える際には、まずその根拠や理由を明確にし、論理的な枠組みを持って説明するよう心掛けましょう。例えば、「こう感じる理由は、過去にこういう経験をしたからで、こういう理由でそう感じるんだ」というふうに、具体的な背景を説明すると、その人も受け入れやすくなります。

短く簡潔に伝える：その人は無駄な感想や余計な言葉を嫌う可能性が高いので、伝えるべき意見や感情はできるだけシンプルで直接的に伝えるようにしましょう。

---

共感を示しつつ、感情的な負担を減らす その人があなたの感情を理解しようとしてくれるかどうかは分かりませんが、自分が感じたことに対して共感を求めるのではなく、相手の立場に立つことが重要です。感情的な負担を減らし、冷静にコミュニケーションを進めることが、関係をストレスなく維持するためのポイントです。

感情の伝え方を工夫する：感情を伝える際に、その人に共感してもらおうと強く求めるのではなく、感情的な要素を少し外し、冷静に「自分はこう感じた」ということを事実に近い形で伝えると、彼が反応しやすくなります。例えば、「今の状況で、私は少し困惑しています」という表現を使うことで、感情を事実として伝えることができます。

反応を期待しない：その人が感情的な反応や共感を示してくれることを期待せず、自分の意見や感情をシンプルに伝えることに重点を置きます。このアプローチにより、過度な期待から来るストレスを減らすことができます。

---

適切な距離感を保ちながらコミュニケーション その人との関係において、物理的や心理的な距離感を保つことが非常に重要です。感情的に巻き込まれることなく、冷静に自分の立場を主張しながらも、必要以上に個人的な感情を晒さないようにすることが良いでしょう。

物理的な距離を取る：場合によっては、意図的に距離を置いて、その人と一定の時間を置いて接することが有効です。例えば、無理に毎回直接的に関わろうとせず、時には間接的にコミュニケーションを取る方法も考えてみてください。

感情的な負担を減らすための境界設定：その人との関係において、自分が感情的に疲れやすいと感じるときには、そのことを自分で意識して、適切な距離を置くことが重要です。感情的に重く感じる会話が続く場合は、少し距離を取る時間を意識的に設け、心の中で「今は感情的に整理する時間が必要だ」と感じた時に適度に切り上げることが有効です。

---

ストレスの管理 あなたのようなタイプは感受性が高いため、ストレスを感じやすいです。そのため、ストレスを軽減するためのセルフケアが欠かせません。

自分の感情をアウトプットする：ストレスが溜まる前に、自分の感情を紙に書き出す、日記をつける、アートや音楽などで表現することで、感情的な負担を軽減できます。

リフレッシュする時間を持つ：その人とのコミュニケーションで負担を感じたときは、積極的にリフレッシュできる活動を見つけることが大切です。散歩やお気に入りの趣味を楽しむ時間を取ることで、心をリセットできます。

---

まとめ その人との関係をうまくやり取りし、距離を保ちつつストレスを軽減するためには、以下のポイントを意識すると良いでしょう：

感情的な反応を冷静に整理し、距離を保つ 論理的で建設的な意見交換を心掛ける 感情的な負担を軽減するためにセルフケアを大切にする 適切な距離感を保ち、無理に共感を求めない これらを意識することで、あなたがその人との関係をよりストレスなく続けていけるようになるはずです。

สิ่งสำคัญเหนือสิ่งใด—ความสำเร็จในสงครามขึ้นอยู่กับการมีทรัพย์มากพอที่จะจัดหาได้ทุกสิ่งที่ภารกิจต้องการได้หรือไม่ — โรเบิร์ต เดอ บัลซัค, ค.ศ. 1502

บทนี้เริ่มต้นด้วยการอธิบายว่าในโลกยุคแห่งความรุนแรง การคว้าชัยในสงครามไม่ได้ขึ้นกับอุดมการณ์เท่านั้น แต่อยู่ที่การระดมทรัพยากรได้มากพอ ซึ่งรัฐชาติสมัยใหม่คือโครงสร้างที่ประสบความสำเร็จมากที่สุดในประวัติศาสตร์ในการดึงทรัพยากรจากประชาชนมาสนับสนุนการใช้อำนาจรุนแรงอย่างเป็นระบบ

ผู้เขียนเปรียบเทียบสองเหตุการณ์สำคัญ คือการทำลายกำแพงเมืองซานจิโอวานนีในปี 1495 กับการทลายกำแพงเบอร์ลินในปี 1989 โดยเหตุการณ์แรกเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของยุคแห่งผลตอบแทนสูงจากความรุนแรง (Gunpowder Revolution) ส่วนเหตุการณ์หลังคือสัญลักษณ์ของการสิ้นสุดของยุคอุตสาหกรรมและเป็นการเริ่มต้นของยุคสารสนเทศที่ผลตอบแทนจากการใช้ความรุนแรงกำลังลดลงอย่างเห็นได้ชัด

ความแตกต่างสำคัญของสองกำแพงนี้คือ กำแพงซานจิโอวานนีถูกสร้างเพื่อป้องกันภัยจากภายนอก ขณะที่กำแพงเบอร์ลินถูกสร้างขึ้นเพื่อป้องกันไม่ให้ผู้คนภายในหลบหนีออกไป—สะท้อนถึงรัฐที่ควบคุมประชาชนอย่างเข้มงวดและมีอำนาจอย่างล้นเหลือ

ในบริบทของยุคสารสนเทศ เมื่อผลตอบแทนจากการใช้ความรุนแรงลดลง รัฐชาติก็เริ่มถูกมองว่าเป็นองค์กรที่กดขี่รีดไถมากกว่าจะเป็นผู้คุ้มครอง ผู้มีความรู้และผู้มั่งคั่งจะหาทางหลบหนีออกจากการควบคุมของรัฐ เช่นเดียวกับที่รัฐบาลพยายามสกัดกั้นการหลบหนีของทุน ด้วยนโยบายอย่าง ภาษีการสละสัญชาติ ของประธานาธิบดีคลินตันในปี 1995 ซึ่งเปรียบได้กับ “กำแพงเบอร์ลินสำหรับเงินทุน”

ผู้เขียนชี้ว่าการเก็บภาษีสูงในกลุ่มประเทศ OECD(The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) นั้นแม้จะเป็นข้ออ้างเพื่อค้ำจุนรัฐสวัสดิการ แต่ในความจริง คนรวยมักไม่ได้รับผลประโยชน์จากรัฐสวัสดิการในสัดส่วนที่สมเหตุสมผลกับภาษีที่จ่ายไป และในยุคสารสนเทศ การจัดเก็บภาษีผูกขาดจะยิ่งทำได้ยากขึ้นทุกที

ผู้เขียนวิเคราะห์อายุขัยของรัฐชาติ โดยระบุว่ายุคของรัฐชาติเป็นเพียงช่วงเวลาราว 200 ปี นับจากการปฏิวัติฝรั่งเศสในปี 1789 ถึงการล่มสลายของกำแพงเบอร์ลินในปี 1989 ก่อนหน้านั้น การปกครองแบบรัฐชาติไม่ใช่เรื่องปกติ ส่วนใหญ่เป็นระบบเผด็จการแบบตะวันออกที่พึ่งการควบคุมระบบชลประทาน แต่การปฏิวัติดินปืนทำให้รัฐสามารถควบคุมและขยายอำนาจออกไปนอกโครงสร้างชลประทานได้ รัฐขนาดใหญ่ที่มีทรัพยากรมากจะได้เปรียบในการทำสงครามมากกว่ารัฐที่มีประสิทธิภาพในการผลิตแต่มีขนาดเล็ก สงครามเย็นจึงไม่ใช่แค่การต่อสู้ระหว่างอุดมการณ์ แต่คือการเผชิญหน้าระหว่างสองระบบที่สามารถระดมทรัพยากรได้ดีที่สุดในยุคอุตสาหกรรม ได้แก่ คอมมิวนิสต์ที่ใช้การควบคุมจากศูนย์กลาง กับประชาธิปไตยแบบรัฐสวัสดิการที่ใช้ประชาธิปไตยและชาตินิยมเป็นเครื่องมือสร้างแรงจูงใจให้ประชาชนยินยอมให้รัฐใช้ทรัพยากรของตนเองในการทำสงคราม

บทนี้จึงชี้ให้เห็นว่า ทั้งคอมมิวนิสต์และประชาธิปไตยอาจมีอุดมการณ์ตรงข้ามกัน แต่กลับมีโครงสร้างการระดมทรัพยากรที่คล้ายกันในแง่การเป็น ยุทธศาสตร์ทางทรัพยากร ที่มีประสิทธิภาพสูงสุดในโลกแห่งความรุนแรง แต่ในยุคใหม่ที่ผลตอบแทนจากความรุนแรงลดลง ระบบเหล่านี้ก็อาจกำลังเข้าสู่ปลายทางของมัน

“ฉันยังคงเชื่อและหวังว่า สักวันหนึ่งการเมืองและเศรษฐกิจจะลดบทบาทลงจากความสำคัญที่เคยมีในอดีต วันหนึ่งจะมาถึง วันที่ข้อถกเถียงทั้งหลายที่เรามีอยู่ในปัจจุบันเกี่ยวกับเรื่องเหล่านี้ จะดูเล็กน้อยหรือไร้ความหมาย ไม่ต่างจากการโต้แย้งทางเทววิทยาในยุคกลาง ซึ่งแม้แต่ปัญญาชนที่เฉียบแหลมที่สุดก็ยังทุ่มเทแรงกายแรงใจให้กับมันอย่างไร้ประโยชน์”

— อาร์เธอร์ ซี. คลาร์ก

บทนี้เปรียบเทียบการล่มสลายของโครงสร้างอำนาจทางการเมืองในยุคปัจจุบันกับความเสื่อมถอยของศาสนจักรในยุคกลาง ผู้เขียนตั้งข้อสังเกตว่าการเมืองสมัยใหม่—ในฐานะกิจกรรมที่เน้นการแย่งชิงอำนาจรัฐและให้เหตุผลแก่การใช้อำนาจ—เป็นเพียงสิ่งประดิษฐ์ชั่วคราวที่เกิดขึ้นในช่วงเวลาที่ผลตอบแทนจากการควบคุมรัฐมีสูง โดยเฉพาะในช่วงหลังการปฏิวัติดินปืน ซึ่งเป็นเหตุการณ์สำคัญที่เปลี่ยนตรรกะของการใช้ความรุนแรงอย่างรุนแรง

ก่อนหน้าการปฏิวัติดินปืน อำนาจทางทหารกระจัดกระจายอยู่ในมือของชนชั้นสูงตามระบบศักดินา อัศวินม้าหุ้มเกราะคือศูนย์กลางของกองกำลัง ซึ่งควบคุมได้ยากและมีต้นทุนสูง เมื่อมีดินปืนเข้ามาแทนที่ มันทำให้รัฐสามารถจัดตั้งกองทัพถาวรที่ควบคุมจากส่วนกลางได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ ต้นทุนต่อหน่วยของความรุนแรงลดลง แต่กำลังทำลายล้างกลับเพิ่มขึ้น ทำให้การผูกขาดการใช้กำลังโดยรัฐกลายเป็นสิ่ง “คุ้มทุน” และส่งเสริมให้เกิดรัฐชาติสมัยใหม่ที่มีการเก็บภาษีอย่างเป็นระบบ มีระบบราชการ และกองทัพประจำการ

การเมืองในความหมายใหม่จึงถือกำเนิดขึ้นจากการแย่งชิงทรัพยากรและอำนาจรัฐที่เติบโตจากอิทธิพลของดินปืน ความสำคัญของคำถาม “ใครควบคุมรัฐ?” จึงกลายเป็นแกนกลางของความขัดแย้งทางการเมืองตลอด 500 ปีที่ผ่านมา ในมุมมองของผู้เขียน การเมืองไม่ได้เป็นแก่นแท้ของการดำรงอยู่ของมนุษย์ แต่เป็นผลพลอยได้จากเงื่อนไขทางเทคโนโลยีและภูมิสังคมในช่วงเวลาหนึ่ง ซึ่งกำลังหมดสภาพไปอย่างช้าๆ จากอิทธิพลของการปฏิวัติสารสนเทศ เช่นเดียวกับที่ระบบศักดินาเคยสิ้นสุดลงเมื่อสิ้นยุคกลาง

กระบวนการนี้เริ่มสังเกตได้จากความเบื่อหน่ายและการเสื่อมศรัทธาที่ผู้คนมีต่อการเมืองทั่วโลก ความไม่พอใจต่อการทุจริตของผู้นำ ความล้มเหลวในการบริหาร และความไร้ประสิทธิภาพของรัฐชาติ สะท้อนถึงการหมดอำนาจของโครงสร้างทางการเมืองแบบเดิมในระดับลึก แม้ในปัจจุบันผู้คนยังไม่สามารถจินตนาการถึงชีวิตที่ปราศจากการเมืองได้อย่างสิ้นเชิง แต่กระแสความเสื่อมถอยได้เริ่มขึ้นแล้ว เหมือนกับที่ผู้คนในยุคกลางยังเชื่อในอำนาจของศาสนจักร ทั้งที่ศรัทธาที่แท้จริงได้เสื่อมสลายไปก่อนหน้านั้นนาน

ผู้เขียนเปรียบการล่มสลายของการเมืองสมัยใหม่กับการล่มสลายของพระศาสนจักรในปลายคริสต์ศตวรรษที่ 15 โดยให้เหตุผลว่า ในช่วงนั้นผู้คนเริ่มหมดศรัทธาในนักบวช ทั้งระดับสูงและระดับล่าง มีการกล่าวหาว่าหิวเงิน คาวโลกีย์ และขายบาป ผู้คนยังเชื่อในศรัทธาภายนอก แต่ในความเป็นจริง สถาบันศาสนากลับไร้อำนาจในการควบคุมสังคม ความเปรียบเทียบนี้นำไปสู่ข้อเสนอว่ารัฐชาติกำลังเดินตามเส้นทางเดียวกัน คือหมดอำนาจลงทั้งในทางปฏิบัติและความชอบธรรม ในโลกยุคสารสนเทศ การควบคุมของรัฐมีต้นทุนสูงขึ้น เทคโนโลยีทำให้ผู้คนหลีกเลี่ยงอำนาจรัฐได้มากขึ้น รัฐไม่สามารถผูกขาดการใช้ความรุนแรงหรือการเก็บภาษีได้ง่ายเหมือนเดิม รัฐชาติจึงจะค่อย ๆ ถูกแทนที่ด้วยรูปแบบใหม่ของอธิปไตย เช่น เมืองอิสระหรือสาธารณรัฐพ่อค้า ซึ่งต้องแข่งขันกันเสมือนบริษัทเอกชน คิดค่าบริการตามคุณค่าที่ให้กับพลเมือง ผู้เขียนยังวิจารณ์มายาคติของยุคต่าง ๆ ที่บดบังความเข้าใจความจริงของโครงสร้างอำนาจ เช่น มายาคติเรื่องอัศวินในยุคกลาง หรือมายาคติเรื่องประชาธิปไตยในยุคปัจจุบัน ทั้งสองต่างเป็นภาพลวงที่ผูกปัจเจกบุคคลเข้ากับอำนาจรัฐเพื่อระดมทรัพยากรและแรงงาน ในยุคที่ต้นทุนของการใช้อำนาจเปลี่ยนไป บทบาทของทั้งอัศวินในยุคศักดินา และพลเมืองในยุคประชาธิปไตย ก็จะเสื่อมลงตามไปด้วย

กล่าวโดยสรุป บทนี้เสนอว่าเรากำลังอยู่ในช่วงหัวเลี้ยวหัวต่อของประวัติศาสตร์ เมื่อระบบรัฐชาติและการเมืองในรูปแบบที่เราคุ้นเคยกำลังถึงจุดจบ เทคโนโลยีสารสนเทศจะปลดล็อกพลังของปัจเจกบุคคลให้มีทางเลือกที่หลากหลายกว่าการอยู่ภายใต้รัฐเพียงแบบเดียว และโลกใหม่ที่กำลังจะมาอาจไม่ต้องการ “การเมือง” อย่างที่เราเคยรู้จักอีกต่อไป...

Bitcoin Is A Joke

Joe Weisenthal Nov 6, 2013, 10:42 PM UTC

REUTERS/Eliana Aponte

Bitcoin is back in the news, as the digital currency has surged to new all-time highs in recent weeks.

A few weeks ago, it was just above $100. Today it's over $260.

This surge has prompted Timothy B Lee at The Washington Post to ask whether those who have called it a bubble in the past should retract and admit that they were wrong.

Well I'm not totally sure if I've called it a bubble, but I have spoken negatively of it, and I'll say that I still think it's a joke, and probably in a bubble.

Now first of all, I find the premise of Lee's post to be hilarious. The currency has been surging several percent every day lately, and that's evidence that it's not in a bubble?

Before going on, I want to be clear that saying something is a bubble is not saying it will go down. It could go to $500 or $1000 or $10,000. That's the nature of manias.

But make no mistake, Bitcoin is not the currency of the future. It has no intrinsic value.

Now this idea of "intrinsic value" when it comes to currency bothers people, and Bitcoin Bugs will immediately ask why the U.S. dollar has intrinsic value. There's an answer to that. The U.S. Dollar has intrinsic value because the U.S. government which sets the laws of doing business in the United States says it has intrinsic value. If you want to conduct commerce in the United States you have to pay taxes, and there's only one currency you're allowed to pay taxes in: U.S. dollars. There's no getting around this fact. Furthermore, if you want to use the banking system at all, there's no choice but to use U.S. dollars, because that's the currency of the Fed which is behind the whole thing.

On top of all these laws requiring the U.S. dollar to be used, the United States has a gigantic military that can force people around the world to use dollars (if it came to that) so yes, there's a lot of real-world value behind greenbacks.

Bitcoin? Nada. There's nothing keeping it being a thing. If people lose faith in it, it's over. Bitcoin is fiat currency in the most literal sense of the word.

But it gets worse. Bitcoin is mostly just a speculative vehicle. Yes, there are PR stunts about bars and other shops accepting bitcoins. And there is a Bitcoin ATM for some reason. But mostly Bitcoin is a speculative vehicle. And really, you'd be insane to actually conduct a sizable amount of commerce in bitcoins. That's because the price swings so wildly, that the next day, there's a good chance that one of the parties will have gotten royally screwed. Either the purchaser of the good will have ended up totally blowing a huge opportunity (by not holding longer) or the seller will be totally screwed (if Bitcoin instantly plunges). The very volatility that excited people to want to play the Bitcoin game is death when it comes to real transactions in the real world.

Again, Bitcoin might go up a lot more before it ultimately ends. That's the nature of bubbles. The dotcom bubble crashed a bunch of times on its way up. Then one day it ended. The same will happen with this.

In the meantime, have fun speculating!

@ c253bd19:7911dadc

I've been recently rethinking my digital footprint and going through something of a digital bath. I came to the realization that I have a lot of data floating around in various cloud services. In my defense, back in the dinosaur age, it was pretty much the only way to sync data between multiple devices without too much hassle. We all accepted the fact that our data was the price for convenience and we went on living our lives, hoping that the corporations we entrusted our data with wouldn't get too evil. How naive.

Luckily, those days are far in the past and we now have somewhat reasonable self-hosting options. To make success more likely, I decided to focus on just one tiny bit of my cloud presence: notes. It's not that I am overly organized, but my brain just works better when I jot things down, so I take a lot of notes. More precisely, a lot of low-importance notes. Think about 20 different stale to-do lists, random measurements, flight numbers, book titles, recipes... you get the idea.

I've been using Google Keep forever but, like I said, I realized that the price — all my data — might be too steep for what I actually need from a note-taking app:

• I need a simple interface supporting multiple notes and markdown
• I need my notes to be synced between my devices, but it definitely does not have to be every second.
• I need my notes to be backed up, but it definitely does not have to be real-time. And even if I lose all my notes, it won't actually be the end of the world.

I set out to explore the current options and I came across the StartOS & Nextcloud solution, which can be self-hosted on a low-power device such as a Raspberry Pi. I have been playing with the setup for a while now and I decided to share my experience.

Before we move on, a few disclaimers:

• I am not affiliated with StartOS or with Nextcloud at all. I came across these products randomly, I like them, and I just decided to share my experience.
• This post is by no means any official guide and I refuse to take any responsibility for anyone losing their data. Be reasonable, people. The official docs are pretty good — this is a mere walkthrough describing my experience.
• My daily driver is a MacBook Pro, so all the examples below are from macOS and might need to be adjusted for different machines.
• This actually turned out to be more writing than I anticipated, so I decided to make it a series of posts.

Things Needed

• Raspberry Pi 4 8GB with a reliable power source
• 64GB high-endurance micro SD card
• Ethernet cable and access to your local network router
• Laptop or another device for setting things up
• Software for flashing the SD card with the OS

Getting Your Hands Dirty

Alright, here we go!

The centerpiece of the whole setup will be your Raspberry Pi running in your local network. Let's start with a few remarks about that:

• As of writing this, the latest Pi model is the 5, but — and this is important — at this moment StartOS 3.5 cannot run on anything newer than Pi 4. I totally didn't do my homework and ended up buying the 5 without checking, and then spent an hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't boot. In the end, I had to buy the 4 and now have a spare Pi lying around. Oh well, a spare Raspberry always comes in handy.
• Get a good quality power source for your Pi. They're known to be quite finicky if not fed properly, and way too many hours of troubleshooting have been wasted due to a lousy power source.
• We've all been guilty of just plugging a Raspberry Pi in and tossing the bare circuit board on a shelf, letting it do its thing. This one is to be trusted with your data, so you might as well give it a nice protective shell. I got this one here and printed it in transparent PETG. It's sturdy and it looks great. And it took a mere hour to print.

Okay, now that we have the Raspberry Pi housekeeping out of the way, let's set it up.

Installing StartOS

First, head to the StartOS GitHub repo and download the latest build for Raspberry Pi. As of writing this, it was v0.3.5.1. Once you have the file, you should verify the checksum to make sure it hasn't been tampered with. You can do it by running

openssl dgst -sha256 <downloaded_file_name>

I usually just copy the output and do cmd + f on the GitHub page and make sure that it finds the checksum by the build I downloaded.

Once you confirm that you have the legit release, it's time to flash the micro SD card 🌶️🌶️. I use Raspberry Pi Imager, but there are plenty of alternatives too. You can get this one using Homebrew:

brew install --cask raspberry-pi-imager open -a "Raspberry Pi Imager"

It should be pretty straightforward: you select your RPi model, the StartOS image you downloaded (it will be under the Custom OS option), and the micro SD card that should be plugged into your laptop. Double-check you selected the correct micro SD card because the process will erase any data on the selected device. Raspberry Pi Imager will ask you if you want to customize the OS settings before flashing. You should say no to that since StartOS has its own setup later on. Once everything is set up, hit Next and you should get something like this:

The process should take about 5 minutes and eventually you should get a confirmation like this:

Success! Now eject your micro SD card and it's time to boot up the Pi. Insert the micro SD card, plug in the Ethernet cable and plug the other end directly into your main router. Finally, plug in the Pi power source.

The Pi should boot up. Look for the status LED to be steady red and also check that the LEDs by the Ethernet port are flashing yellow. If you can't confirm either of those, talk to your friendly neighborhood GPT; usually, the different states of the status LEDs have some meaning that should help you troubleshoot.

Once the Pi is booted up, the rest of the setup should be done mostly via the browser. Navigate to start.local and hopefully you should get a page like this:

If you can't reach the page, it's likely because either your Pi hasn't managed to connect to your network or it hasn't booted up at all. To confirm the Pi is in your local network and that your device can see it, you can run:

ipconfig getifaddr en0 # Find your local IP nmap -sn 192.168.x.0/24 # Map your local network

You should see something like:

If you see start.lan in your local network, you should be able to connect on start.local. Try a different browser or rebooting your device. If you don't see it at all, or you still can't connect, there's something more serious going on and you're up for a fun troubleshooting time. Good luck.

---

Assuming you managed to connect to your Pi with StartOS, let's hit the Start Fresh option to set up the server from scratch. First, you should be prompted to choose the storage device where the OS will be stored. Since your Pi only has one micro SD card slot, you should only see one device. Once you pick the only option, you'll get a warning that everything on that storage will be erased and replaced by StartOS itself. That's exactly what we want, so let's do it.

After selecting the storage device, you should get a password prompt. Come up with a decent password or use your trusty password manager to generate one — remember... reusing passwords is a sin! And don't worry, if you forget the password, you can always start from scratch. It should only take a couple of minutes and practice makes perfect. Moving on. Once the password is sorted, you should see StartOS initializing:

This should take about 3 minutes and eventually you should get a success page like this:

We're hitting the final stretch so bear with me. There are only two more things left to do. First, you should download the access info for your new server. Your browser might warn you about an insecure download but that's expected since you haven't set up the certificate yet. The download should be an HTML page with instructions for how to connect to your server from your local network and also remotely. This is important since you won't be able to access the server on start.local anymore. The page should look like this:

Fingers crossed you get a funky name you like. I recommend storing this whole HTML file in your password manager together with your password from the previous step.

The second bit is setting up and trusting your Root CA. It's so that your devices can securely communicate with your server. It's pretty straightforward. You can either hit the blue button on this page or go back to the success page and do it from there:

Either way, you should get a download of a <name-of-your-server>.crt file. Again, I recommend storing the certificate in your password manager, but you can also always download it from the server itself once it's up and running.

Detailed instructions can be found here, but basically all you need to do is the following:

1. Double-click the .crt file and add it to the keychain.

2. Hit Command + Spacebar and type in Keychain Access, open it and you should see your certificate in the list. It's just not trusted yet.

1. Right-click your certificate, select Get Info and expand the Trust option. StartOS only needs the first and last option so go ahead and enable those.

1. Close the trust setting and you should see the certificate being trusted now.

1. Close Keychain Access and go back to your browser. Hit the refresh button and you should get a confirmation saying that your certificate is now trusted. Good job, almost there!

Now that your certificate is all set up on this device, proceed by hitting the blue Go To Login button and fill in your password from earlier. Aaand that's it. You should see the landing page of your new server like this:

From now on you should be able to access the server from this device by typing your server's address in the browser.

---

If you got all the way here, congrats! Your server is now set up and you're one step closer to taking control of your data.

Since this was actually more typing than I initially anticipated, I am going to take a short break here but stay tuned for vol 2 where I walk you through setting up Nextcloud Notes.

Hulladékgazdálkodás – 2025. május 13. | Írta: David Dalton

A francia nukleáris hulladéktároló projekt akár 37 milliárd euróba is kerülhet, közölte az Andra

Franciaország mélygeológiai tároló projektje várhatóan 26 milliárd euró (28,9 milliárd dollár) és 37,5 milliárd euró között fog kerülni – közölte a nemzeti nukleáris hulladékügynökség, az Andra május 12-én, ami magasabb a korábbi, mintegy 25 milliárd eurós becslésnél.

A Cigéo nevű projekt Franciaország központi létesítménye lesz a nukleáris erőművekből és egyéb reaktor létesítményekből származó nagy aktivitású radioaktív hulladék hosszú távú tárolására.

Az Andra szerint az ipari minisztérium rendelete várhatóan az év végéig véglegesíti a költségeket, amelyek referenciaként szolgálnak majd a következő felülvizsgálatig. Mind a költségek, mind a helyszín további felülvizsgálatok elé néznek, legkésőbb 2026 végéig.

Az építkezés 2027-ben kezdődhet, amennyiben a francia nukleáris biztonsági hatóság (ASN – Autorité de sûreté nucléaire) jóváhagyja a kérelmet, és az első hulladékcsomagokat 2050-ben fogadnák, a várható üzemidő pedig 100 év.

2023 júniusában az ASN elfogadta, és megkezdte az Andra által benyújtott Cigéo létesítmény építési kérelmének vizsgálatát.

A Cigéo a legmagasabb aktivitású, egyben leghosszabb élettartamú radioaktív hulladékok elhelyezésére szolgál egy mélygeológiai tárolóban, amely a Meuse és Haute-Marne megyék határán, Északkelet-Franciaországban található.

Jelenleg a világon sehol nem működik hosszú távú hulladéktároló létesítmény a polgári nukleáris energia programokból származó nagy aktivitású hulladék számára.

A Nemzetközi Atomenergia Ügynökség szerint Franciaország, Finnország és Svédország az a három ország, amely a legnagyobb előrelépést tette ilyen létesítmények üzembe helyezése felé.

A finnországi Onkalo tároló várhatóan a világ első működő mélygeológiai elhelyezési létesítménye lesz, teljes üzembe helyezése a 2020-as évek közepére várható.

Európa „aggályokat fogalmazott meg” a cseh–dél-koreai nukleáris megállapodással kapcsolatban

Az Európai Bizottság arra kérte a Cseh Köztársaságot, hogy halassza el a legalább 18 milliárd dollár (16,9 milliárd euró) értékű szerződés aláírását a dél-koreai Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) vállalattal új atomerőművek építésére, amíg kivizsgálják az esetleges külföldi támogatások felhasználását – közölte egy bizottsági szóvivő május 12-én a Reuters szerint.

A szóvivő elmondta, hogy Stephane Séjourné, az ipari stratégia biztosa egy levélben fejezte ki aggodalmát a dél-koreai pályázatot érintő külföldi támogatások szabályozásával kapcsolatban.

„Még nem tartunk ott, hogy mélyreható vizsgálatot indítanánk, és nem szeretném előre megjósolni, hogy eljutunk-e oda vagy sem” – mondta a szóvivő.

A cseh CTK hírügynökség idézte Petr Fiala cseh miniszterelnököt, aki szerint bár a levél a biztostól származik, az nem képviseli a Bizottság hivatalos álláspontját, és nincs kötelező érvénye.

Az Euractiv szerint egy bizottsági szóvivő újságíróknak május 12-én azt mondta, hogy Séjourné levele „semmiképpen sem kérte a folyamat leállítását”.

Az Euractiv szerint Séjourné levele azt írja, hogy a Bizottság vizsgálja, kapott-e a KHNP tiltott állami támogatást az EU-s szabályozás szerint, amikor elnyerte a két atomerőmű építésére kiírt tendert.

A reaktorprojektért felelős cseh vállalat, az Elektrarna Dukovany II (EDU II) közleményt adott ki, amelyben megvédte a kiválasztási folyamatot, és felszólította az EDF-et, hogy hozza nyilvánosságra a tenderben benyújtott ajánlatát.

Az EDU II, a cseh állami közműcég, a ČEZ leányvállalata kijelentette, hogy kész „teljes kártérítést követelni” és megvédeni a részvényesi értéket bármilyen peres eljárással szemben.

A közlemény szerint az illegális támogatásról szóló állítások „a sikertelen pályázó spekulációi”.

Dél-Korea és Csehország megerősítette elkötelezettségét az atomerőmű-szerződés aláírása mellett, annak ellenére, hogy egy bírósági döntés ideiglenesen elhalasztotta a szerződéskötést.

A sajtóhírek szerint a cseh kormány május 7-i ülésén kijelentette, hogy az EDU II a lehető leghamarabb folytatja a szerződéskötést a KHNP-vel két atomerőmű építésére.

A két új, nagy kapacitású APR1400 típusú reaktort a KHNP szállítja, és a csehországi Dukovany atomerőmű telephelyén építik fel.

Az eredetileg május 7-re tervezett szerződésaláírást elhalasztották, miután bírósági végzés született az EDF, a tenderen sikertelen pályázó jogi kifogása nyomán.

Izrael tervezi első kereskedelmi atomerőművét

Javaslatot fontolgatnak Izrael első kereskedelmi atomerőművének megépítésére Shivta közelében, az ország déli részén, bár kétségek merültek fel a helyi ellenállás és Izrael atomsorompó-szerződésen (NPT) kívüli státusza miatt.

Közel-keleti jelentések szerint a terveket a jövő héten vizsgálja meg a regionális tervezési és építési bizottság, amely a Negev-sivatagi térségben felépítendő létesítményért felelős.

A jelentések szerint a bizottság már „erős ellenállását” fejezte ki a tervvel szemben.

A nemzetközi aggályok középpontjában Izrael NPT-szerződésen kívüli státusza és az a tény áll, hogy nem fogadta el a Nemzetközi Atomenergia Ügynökség (IAEA) ellenőrzését néhány főbb nukleáris tevékenységére. Az NPT az IAEA felügyelete alatt biztosítja, hogy a nukleáris anyagokat és létesítményeket ne tereljék katonai célokra.

Izrael ugyan működtet kutatóreaktorokat, de nincs kereskedelmi atomerőműve. Az évek során többször is fontolgatta kereskedelmi atomerőművek építésének lehetőségét.

Az izraeli Ynet News szerint a javaslat számos megválaszolatlan kérdést vet fel, például hogy melyik ország építené meg az erőművet, tekintettel Izrael NPT-n kívüli státuszára. További aggályok a nukleáris üzemanyag forrására, a sivatagi klímában szükséges hűtőrendszerre, valamint a víz szállításának logisztikájára vonatkoznak.

A Ynet News szerint más lehetséges helyszíneket különböző okokból elvetettek, például a katonai repülőtér közelsége, geológiai vizsgálatok eredményei vagy a népsűrűség miatt.

Kutatás és fejlesztés – 2025. május 13. | Írta: David Dalton

Tajvani kutatási projekt nyithat utat fejlett atomerőművek előtt

A Tajvani Nemzeti Atomkutató Intézet (Nari) elindított egy 3,3 millió dolláros (2,9 millió eurós) kis moduláris reaktor (SMR) kutatási projektet, amely utat nyithat fejlett atomerőművek bevezetéséhez azon a szigeten, ahol hamarosan leállítják az összes régebbi, nagy kapacitású reaktort.

Az új nukleáris technológiák kutatása akkor kezdődött, amikor a kormány ezen a hétvégén véglegesen leállítja a Maanshan-2 atomerőművet Pingtung megyében, Dél-Tajvanon, teljesítve ígéretét, hogy Tajvant nukleárismentessé teszi.

Az SMR-eket a Nemzetközi Atomenergia Ügynökség 300 MW vagy annál kisebb kapacitásúnak definiálja, ami körülbelül egyharmada egy hagyományos atomerőmű teljesítményének. Moduláris kialakításuk lehetővé teszi a gyári előállítást és könnyebb telepítést a nagy atomerőművekhez képest. Az SMR-ek gyártói a moduláris alkatrészek tömeggyártásával kívánnak méretgazdaságosságot elérni.

2024 júliusában az állami tulajdonú atomerőmű tulajdonos és üzemeltető Taipower közölte, hogy leállította a Maanshan-1 atomerőművet, így az országban már csak egy reaktor, a Maanshan-2 maradt kereskedelmi üzemelésben.

A Maanshan-1, egy 936 MW-os nyomottvizes reaktor (PWR) leállítása közepette tovább folytatódik a törvényhozók vitája arról, hogy meghosszabbítsák-e a sziget nukleáris létesítményeinek élettartamát.

2023-ban a nukleáris energia Tajvan villamosenergia-termelésének mintegy 6,9%-át tette ki, amelyet főként szén és cseppfolyósított földgáz ural.

A Taipower szerint a Maanshan-1 leállításával a nukleáris forrásból származó áram aránya 2,8%-ra csökken.

Egy időben Tajvan hat reaktora az iparilag erősen fejlett sziget villamosenergia-termelésének több mint felét biztosította.

A Maanshan-1 1984 júliusában kezdte meg a kereskedelmi üzemet, és most járt le a 40 éves működési engedélye. A 938 MW-os Maanshan-2 várhatóan 2025. május 18-án, 40 év üzem után áll le.

„Nagyon nyitottak” az új nukleáris technológiára

Tavaly év végén Tajvan miniszterelnöke, Cho Jung-tai azt mondta, az ország „nagyon nyitott” az új nukleáris technológia alkalmazására, hogy kielégítse a chipgyártók növekvő áramigényét, akik az AI-robbanáshoz használnak villamos energiát.

„Amíg Tajvanon konszenzus van a nukleáris biztonságról, és jó irány és garancia van a hulladékkezelésre, ezzel az erős konszenzussal lefolytathatjuk a nyilvános vitát” – mondta Cho a Bloomberg Newsnak adott interjúban.

Megjegyzései az egyik legerősebb jelei annak, hogy a kormány újragondolja ellenállását a kereskedelmi atomerőművekkel szemben.

Cho vélhetően fejlett reaktorokra, köztük az SMR-ekre utalt, amelyeket számos országban fejlesztenek.

Writing about writing, that's what I'm doing today. A couple months in, trying to make writing on Nostr a regular part of my routine has been both interesting and enlightening. This Spatia Nostra blog started as passion project of unknown intention, beginning with an attempt to fill a glaring educational void... but creating these resources has also served as my own schooling. I've learned that everything works well sometimes but nothing works well all the time. Given that Nostr development, as a whole, is akin to stray cats herding chickens, in hopes that they will trample out 100 fires, this was not an unexpected experience. Beyond a few painful days when nothing would work, its actually gone smoother that I expected. The state of reading and writing tools is yet in major flux. Some are way behind but still work, others are in active development... which has its own set of pros and cons. I've read in notes, that the Primal team is currently riding their white stallions (across a beach, no less) to deliver the writing tools that save will save the day. There is no single solution to a multi-faceted problem, though, so writing is no different than search problems or spam problems, in that regard. I have no doubt that whatever they deliver will be functional and suitable for their readers and writers , but ultimately there needs to be many Nostr tools available for many different styles of author and many ways for readers to uptake their works. There might be value in sharing some of my insights, for anyone looking to write natively to Nostr or for anyone who may be building writing and reading related tools, so that is my aim here today. (With hope that most of this piece will become outdated sooner rather than later.) For the sake of not turning this into a multi-client review, because its already going to be really long, I will direct anyone who wants to dive right in to writing on Nostr here .

Where to begin:

Right now, there is no easy way to see which client was used to write a piece. There are exceptions, of course, and there are things I have not tried or cannot use due to my hardware, so I can't say that this rings true across the broader view of Nostr. If we assume that most people are introduced to Nostr through the microblogging/social media gateways, then they are likely introduced to longer Nostr content through their follow feed, either by a client that nicely displays these publications as standalone items or by authors and readers referencing a piece within a typical note (Kind 1, for all us Nostr nerds). As with the writing tools themselves, I know that support for advertising which client was used to create an event is rolling out with varying perceptions of its importance. In the interem, Nostr has the benefit of a wildly passionate user-base to fill these gaps. Oftentimes, the author themselves are willing to share which client was used to write a piece. If not, someone will almost surely be able and willing to answer. As the ecosystem grows, I imagine that it will suffer the same problem as every other human-occupied spaces... the more people there are, the less likely they are to talk to each other. Nostr makes it incredibly easy to reduce those types of negative social impacts, but I can still easily envision a situation in which the aspirational writer finds their calling from a piece written by a popular big-name writer, where the reply sections tend to become too noisy to find answers. To alleviate this, client tags are an obvious mitigation. I would love to see all major social/microblogging clients build in support for that one day, so that anyone new to Nostr can easily figure out where to begin.

Writing:

Oof, yeah... This is where things start to branch out into the wild and weird world that we all love so much. Prior to this 2-month stint ( which I have every intention of continuing), I had only written a couple of long notes, one wiki entry, and a few recipes. No hitches whatsoever. I have found now, that the more frequently I attempt to write, the more interesting problems I encounter... But sometimes it all works so silky, smoothly that it becomes a sensational, powerful experience where one can see just how much potential Nostr has to revolutionize the way we exchange information, with ourselves, our friends and the world.

When everything, or at least most things, are working well, its amazing. You can send yourself nostr events through messaging clients on mobile to access and reference from a web client later, with many of the different Nostr messaging apps. Not all messaging apps perform in the same way, so before you go confusing yourself, send a test message or two to see if your messaging app handles the 'note to self' concept in a way that makes sense to you. This might sound a little bit janky, but it's really just a simple way of creating notes for yourself. Having some quick thoughts that you don't want to lose while your on the go, so you can build upon them later, is another strong use aside from gathering reference materials. I like this method because nothing is so good at organizing my thoughts than my own brain. If you prefer to use a note taking app, there are some out there that have integrated Nostr features so that you can maintain your usual workflow while benefitting from Nostr's ubiquity. Once You have your basis, you know when its time to write. You have a few solid choices that all have the same basic functions, with a slightly different feel and interface, and slightly different additional features. You can find the one you like, bang out your thoughts, and use the others to tweak and adjust things. Because... Nostr, the reading side will always be somewhat variable, so you'll likely want to proof your own writing a few times, in a few clients, that you believe your readers will be using the most.

Everything Works!

For me, the amazing Nostr writing experience looks something like this:

I send myself some notes and thoughts on a multi-device messaging app. I visit my favorite publishing app for the majority of my writing because I like the thoughtful, quiet design. I can then jump to another and add tags, because I forgot to do that. It also has the best editing experience, so I can fix my damn typos while I'm there. Later on, I realize that maybe part of the revenue should go to the person who inspired my thoughts, so I visit a different client, initiate an edit, and add a revenue split to the post. Once I'm done, it looks amazing, and I want to check that it looks amazing in the places that I think my readers might see it, as well. I check through a few mobile social clients. Native display looks great, formatted neatly enough to call it a piece, with all referenced Nostr events displayed in pretty purple letters and linking to their naddr as intended. In posts that reference events, it links up great and takes me to a reading client intended to manage walls of text. Nice. All the while, I'm keeping in my mind that my work, should I or anyone else deem it worthy of longevity, is being stored across multiple relays, including my own rented relay (I should really set something up at home, I'll get there eventually). These thoughts are out there and they have the potential to stay there, wherever "there" may be. I don't have to worry about them being taken down or becoming unavailable because at least one of these many relays will be up and keeping my notes at any given moment, and the more my readers interact, the more sticky and distributed my work becomes. It'd be pretty rare for a controversial piece to come out of these fingertips, but its not impossible. I find a lot of peace in that, more predominately as the reader than the writer.

Nothing Works!

Unfortunately, this is not always the outcome of writing on Nostr regularly (Honestly, everything has its problems. This is not unique to Nostr). The more frequently you do something, the more likely you are to come across flaws and temporary issues or outages. So... the other side of this coin looks something like this:

I find a few things that I would like to reference in articles, I message them to myself. Unfortunately, the massages, though sent to myself, by myself, show up as recieved as sent by the authors of the notes I want to reference. Its not a big deal, I can sort that out but they easily become lost among all the other messages that I send and receive in between. It's a bit inconvenient but it still works. Thoughts to myself still work just fine. I sit down to write and my preferred client isn't recognizing my signing extension. Why? It worked yesterday. No matter, lets hop over to a different client, sign in, and ... nothing. Its recognizing my key but its not loading anything beyond an npub. Maybe its still working? I try writing... it looks like its working but upon publishing, nothing. No error, no loaders, my text just sits in the editor. Copy. Move to another client. Sign in, paste. adjust all the stuff because this one doesn't recognize the markdown links. I need to use their built-in tools for this (I know this from a previous day of some things working). Okay, this is great. Publish. At which point the text disappears and no note show up... hmm... its not connecting to any relays. I wish there was a way to check that before I had started. My clipboard is empty now because I wiped it clean while editing all the links. Hmm... One more try because I'm no quitter (to the point of detriment sometimes). Last try. Sign in, looks good. I half -ass rewrite my lost piece and attempt to publish and I am met with the infinite loading icon. I can't save my draft or publish. Smarter this time, I leave the text there, copy it to a local document, just in case, and quit for the day. The next day, I go back to this with a new client name I came across. It seems to work, its lacking some important features but that's ok. When the other editors are having better days, I can go back to edit tags and titles. Publish... Success! Or so I thought. I go around to do my checks, the event is no where to be found except in the client that was used to publish it. I copy the note ID from there and search around. Everything tells me: error, the event string is too short. I call it a wash. Over the next few days, the presence of that post comes and goes. Eventually it just stops showing up anywhere. Another new editor arrives, and once I figured out this stupid (me) signer issue that I was having, I republish that piece.

Things work, just not all at once...

Because of my own ignorance and because I think there is still value in interfacing with the outside-nostr world, for now I've opted keep publishing to both legacy web and Nostr. It acts as my fallback but also a little island of Nostr information. One day, I'll quit doing that but I'm not there yet. Nor are the tools that I would like to use in order to do so. That's okay, it's been incredible to witness the coordination amongst the chaos while the ecosystem gets fleshed out to something that can replace all of that. Everyday, I'm looking for ways to realistically help this process along and sometimes the best I can do is simply be willing to endure the mess while everything comes together. As I said at the beginning, this are just my insights and experiences. Most days are a happy middle between these two extremes. Writing on Nostr has huge potential to change the landscape of digital information and I will continue doing whatever the hell it is that at do so that it can be ready for the people who may really need it.

Reading...

Nah. Another day, maybe.

You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier

Reading Jaron Lanier’s 2010 You Are Not A Gadget in 2023 is an interesting experience—equal parts withering, prophetic, and heretical clarion call warning from a high priest of the Technocracy and rambling, musing, cognitive jam session from a technofied musician-philosopher.

Yet, in ways that I think the author would be simultaneously pleased, amused, saddened, and disturbed by, the 13 yeas since the book’s publishing have, in places, proven him right with stunning foresight and precision, and in others, made his ideas appear laughable, bizarre, even naive. The book is written in five parts, yet I would suggest viewing it as two discrete elements—Part One (around the first half of the book) and…everything else.

For context, Lanier, is a computer scientist and early technologist from the area of Jobs, Wozniak, and Gates, and is considered to be a founding father of virtual reality. He is also a consummate contrarian, a player of rare and obscure musical instruments, a deep interdisciplinary thinker…and a white man with dreadlocks named Jaron.

PART ONE

Part One of the book “What is a Person?” reads like a scathing and clear-eye manifesto—where Lanier is batting 1000, merciless in his rightness. Were one to pull a passage that speaks to the soul of this portion of the book, it might be the following: “The net does not design itself. We design it.”

Lanier terms the prevailing technocratic ideology—the particular winning tech-nerd subculture that has now come to capture our society—as “the cybernetic totalist” or “digital Maoists.” Essentially a materialist and stealth collectivist movement in new-age technocratic dress, that through its successes, and now excesses, represents much the same of religion that it’s founders would have claimed to be “evolving past.”

Lanier points out that in this, we are simply trading the pursuit of finding God in spirituality or the afterlife, for a notion of digital immortality—seeking, or, if possible, becoming, God in the cloud. He aptly identifies that this worldview requires that society, and all human interactions really, be savagely bent into adherence to this new religion of aggregation that demands deification of data, gross diminishment of the individual, and belief in some objective (but never defined) "meaning" that exists beyond and apart from the human observer.

With skill and simple wit, he raises strong, rational counterpoint to the digital Maoists’ obsession with quantity, data in aggregate and at-scale, as society's prime directive “A fashionable idea in technical circles is that quantity […] turns into quality at some extreme scale […] I disagree. A trope in the early days or computer science comes to mind: garbage in, garbage out.”

Lanier is able to envision the digital cages that likes of Facebook, Youtube, social-media dating apps would become for the internet native generations. Of whom he writes “The most effective young Facebook users […] are the ones who create successful online fictions about themselves,” and “If you start out by being fake, you’ll eventually have to put in twice the effort to undo the illusion if anything good is to come of it.”

Lanier’s 2010 criticism of Wikipedia-ism is now double or triply apropos in our current hype cycle of “AI magic” and Everything-GPT, “Wikipedia, for instance, works on what I can the Oracle Illusion, in which knowledge of human authorship of a text is suppressed in order to give the text superhuman validity. Traditional holy books work in precisely the same way and present many of the same problems.” This same deep truth now sits at the heart of every “new” creation churned out by the flavor-of-the-week, plagiarism-at-scale, generative AI tool.

More darkly, he is also able to foresee the spectre of a return to collectivism lurking both at the core and on the margins of our new digital age—“The recipe that led to social catastrophe in the past was economic humiliation combined with collectivist ideology. We already have the ideology in its new digital packaging, and it’s entirely possible we could face dangerously traumatic economic shock in the coming decades.”—“No Shit” said everyone who lived through 2020-2022…

This brings us, eerily, to the world of today. Where aggregate insights are upheld as more valuable than discrete insights. Where crowds are are assumed to have more wisdom than individuals. Where truth is twisted into a might-is-right numbers game. A world ruled by the idea that if we can just centralize enough information and sufficiently pulverize authorship, the result will, necessarily, be something super-intelligent, "alive," and perhaps even divine.

In short, the cybernetic totalists and digital Maoists, having killed reason, now sit on its corpse like a thrown, smearing its blood on the walls in the name of art and reading its still-steaming entrails for prophecy.

If I were to infer some ideological takeaway from Part One of the book, it might be that Lanier seems to axiomatically reject any affirmative implication of the Turing Test. Simply put, he believes that bits are not and cannot ever be alive independent of the human-as-oracle. Further, there is no objective meaning beyond the human observer—in fact, that observer fundamentally creates any meaning there is to be had. This is best illustrated by one of the most powerful passages in the book:

“But the Turing Test cuts both ways. You can’t tell if a machine has gotten smarter or if you’ve just lowered your own standard of intelligence to such a degree that the machine seems smart. If you can have a conversation with a simulated person presented by an AI program, can you tell how far you’ve let your sense of personhood degrade in order to make the illusion work for you?”

Ponder this well, Anon.

EVERYTHING ELSE

With all of the great stuff above out of the way, we must turn to…the rest of the book. Parts Two through Five breakdown into something more like a stream of consciousness. And while there are certainly many nuggets to insight and beauty to be found, the book becomes largely dis-coherent and very difficult to read. That said, the remainder of the book does contain three particularly compelling threads that I find to be worth pulling on.

Internet Attribution First, are Lanier’s musing about money and attribution in our authorless “information wants to be free” world. He laments the infinite elevation of advertising and offers harsh critique to the concept of attention as the new currency—as this tends to overwhelmingly reward the aggregator and a piddling few soulless super-influencers at the expense of all other users and creators.

Interestingly, under the guise of “what could have been” he imagines a world where attribution is tracked across the web (though how this achieved is left unanswered) and royalty payments can flow back to the author seamlessly over the internet. I find his vision to be intriguing because in 2010, we lacked the technology to either track attribution across the web or facilitate seamless micropayment royalties based on access / usage.

While we still don't have the ability to achieve the type of fully-tracked, always-on attribution Lanier imagines, we do now have the ability to stream payments across the internet with bitcoin and the lightning network. While Lanier can be excused for not mentioning the then uber-nascent bitcoin in 2010, bitcoin’s development since only goes to underscore the prescience of Lanier’s imagination.

The bigger question that now remains, especially in the face of the advent of “AI,” is whether such a system to manage and therefore enforce attribution globally on the internet would even be a good thing. Where obscured attribution enables mashed-up plagiarism-at-scale, centrally enforced attribution can just as easily enable idea, content, discovery, and innovation suppression-at-scale.

Music in the New Age Second, much of the book, particularly in the second half, is filtered through the lens and language of music. Music is essential to Lanier’s inner life and it is clear that he views music as an emergent mystery force attributable to something unknowable, if not divine, and entirely unique to the human experience.

He bemoans the music of the 2000s as lacking in any distinct chronological era sound—everything is either a rehashed mashup or digitally lofi-ed emulation of sounds from previous begone eras—it is music that is impossible to place. To him, it is as though musical evolution stopped right around the time of the advent of the internet…and then folded back in on itself, creating an endless kaleidoscoping of what came before but rarely, if ever, the creation anything truly new.

In response, Lanier goes so far as to imagine the ridiculous (my take, not his) world of “Songles”—songs on dongles—essentially physical music NFTs. In Songleland, listening to the hottest tracks at a party hinges on the guy or gal with the dankest songles swinging through and plugging them into the Songle player. And songles, being scarce, even become speculative investments. On this, Lanier manages to be both right and wrong in only the most spectacularly absurd of ways.

But what Lanier really laments is the passing of popular music as a shared cultural experience at national or even global scale. During Lanier’s coming of age through the 1960-80s—with only a few consolidated channels for music distribution, it was truly impossible to escape the sounds and influence of the Beatles or Prince or Micheal Jackson—everyone heard it and even the deaf still felt it.

In the end, Lanier could image Songles but he couldn’t envision what Spotify would become—a conduit to shatter music distribution into a myriad of tiny longtails—providing infinitely fragmented and individually fine-tuned music experiences rather than large and cohesive cultural moments. However, even in this miss, Lanier is largely able to project what Spotify-ed music would resolve to—music designed as much or more to please the self-referential selection algorithm than any real, human listeners. A dangerously foretelling insight that goes well beyond music as AI tools are posed to become the "googling" of the next technological cycle—what happens to information, to human thought, when the majority of "generative AI" outputs are just the machine referencing itself?

Digital Neoteny The final thread to pull is that of "digital neoteny," the retention of juvenile behaviors in adult form, in this case, a neoteny of the mind if you will. Lanier sees the internet as specifically primed to propagate three kinds of neoteny in digital-native humans— a blissful and curious Bachelardian neoteny (as in Gaston Bachelard’s Poetics of Reverie); a cruel and mob-like Goldingesque neoteny (as in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies); and a general and deeply pervasive, infantile neoteny.

Neoteny of the Bachelardian variety, which Lanier likens to “the sense of wonder and weirdness that a teen can find in the unfolding world,” is what he feels the internet has provided in a few brief and magical moments generally aligned with the “early days” of successive internet technologies, movements, and companies—through this generally degrades into Goldingesque neoteny as novelty gives way to ossification.

Lanier’s missives on Bachelardian neoteny feel especially pertinent to the present state of Nostr (where I am publishing this writing). Nostr is in a moment where winner-take all dynamics and corporatization have yet to take hold. Child-like revelry abounds with each new discovery or novel Nostr client development so much so that the likes of Jack Dorsey compare it to the excitement of the early internet.

But with time, if and as the Nostr protocol wins, to what extent will technical lock-in take hold here? To what extent will calcification of seemingly trivial or even comical decisions being made by client devs today have dramatic implications on the feasibility of other development in the future? And will we early Nostr users, at some point put down welcoming inclusivesness for insular tribalism—and in what ways might we be doing this already?

Finally, to the third kind of neoteny, Infantile neoteny—which perhaps incapsulates the internet even more so than either of the other two types—Lanier sees the net driving an evermore prolonged deferral of maturity, resulting ultimately in some centrally-managed permanent arresting of society in a stupefied and juvenile mental state:

“Some of the greatest speculative investments in human history continue to converge on Silicon Valley schemes that seemed to have been named by Dr. Seuss. On any given day, one might hear of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars flowing to a start-up company named Ublibudly or MeTickly. These are names I just made up, but they would make great venture capital bait if they existed. At these companies one finds rooms full of MIT PhD engineers not seeking cancer cures or sources of safe drinking water for the underdeveloped world but schemes to send little digital pictures of teddy bears and dragons between adult members of social networks. At the end of the road of the pursuit of technological sophistication appears to lie a playhouse in which humankind regresses to nursery school.”

The popular culture of the early 2020s—with it’s NFT Monke JPEGs, silent and masked TikTok dancing in the drab aisles of crumbling department stores, and rampant peer-pressured social-media virtue-signaling and paternalism—could scarcely be described in any more stark and specific detail. That such could be seen so vividly in 2010 is as masterful as it is dishearteningly dark.

CONCLUSION

You Are Not A Gadget is a special thing, a strange beast—as lucid in its first half as it is jumbled, meandering, and even nonsensical in its second half. And while the discerning reader might judge the book harshly for these structural failings, I doubt the author would care, he might even welcome it. Lanier’s apparent purpose in writing is to share his mind rather than please the reader in any particular regard. The sufficiently curious reader, one who is willing to engage with the book’s content, for whatever the book’s faults may be, finds a king’s randoms of wisdom, insight, and uncanny foresight.

In closing, it seems fitting to recall one of Lanier’s earliest warnings in the book, “Maybe if people pretend they are not conscious or do not have free will […] then perhaps we have the power to make it so. We might be able to collectively achieve antimagic.” 13 years on, this feels more pressing and urgent and true than ever. (Rating: 4/5🐙)

Chef's notes

Lovely tart rhubarb jam with the extra firey kick of fresh root ginger.

Technically a vegetable rhubarb has low pectin content so be sure to include a high pectin fruit such as lemon/cooking apple/redcurrant/gooseberry. It also quite watery so we use a slightly higher fruit to sugar ratio (1.2:1) and evaporate off some water at the beginning.

Testing for setting point: put a saucer in the freezer to chill whilst cooking the fruit, after 5 mins of a high boil with the sugar put a small blob of jam on the cold saucer and return to the freezer for 2 minutes. If the jam forms a solid wrinkle when pushed with a spoon it is ready, if it is runny continue cooking and retest every 5 mins

The recipe can be halved for a small batch but if you have lots of rhubarb to process it is better to cook double batches in separate pans because it will take much longer to heat through, this affects the colour and flavour - the jam will taste warm and mellow rather than zingy

Sterilise glass jars in a 120c oven and pot the jam hot leaving 1/4 inch head space, it will keep for 5 years unopened if the lids are well sealed and does not require water bath canning

Nukleáris politika – 2025. május 12. | Szerző: David Dalton

Lengyelország és Franciaország nukleáris szerződést ír alá, Macron új építési szerződéseket céloz

Lengyelország és Franciaország olyan szerződést kötött, amely együttműködést irányoz elő a polgári nukleáris energia szektorban, miközben Párizs reménykedik abban, hogy Varsótól jövedelmező új atomerőmű-építési szerződéseket nyer el.

A szerződés közös tevékenységeket tartalmaz, amelyek célja a nukleáris energia előnyeinek kihasználása az európai ipar dekarbonizációja érdekében.

A két ország együtt kíván működni a nukleáris fűtőanyag-ellátás biztonságának megerősítésében is.

Európa szeretné kizárni Oroszországot a nukleáris fűtőanyag-piacáról, de az Euratom Ellátási Ügynökség (ESA) legfrissebb éves jelentése szerint 2023-ban nőtt az Oroszországból származó természetes urán szállítása, mivel az uniós szolgáltatók készleteket halmoztak fel az orosz tervezésű VVER atomerőművekhez.

Az ESA, amely az európai nukleáris anyagok rendszeres és méltányos ellátásáért felelős, közölte, hogy az uniós szolgáltatók tovább diverzifikálják nukleáris fűtőanyag-beszerzéseiket, különösen a VVER reaktorokhoz, hogy csökkentsék a „egy forrásból származó vagy magas kockázatú” ellátásoktól való függést.

„Majdnem minden olyan ország, amely orosz tervezésű reaktorokat üzemeltet, halad az alternatív fűtőanyagok engedélyeztetésében, és ígéretes fejlemények várhatók a közeljövőben” – közölte az ESA.

Az EU-ban jelenleg 19 VVER reaktor működik, köztük négy 1000 MW-os Bulgáriában és Csehországban, valamint tizenöt 440 MW-os Csehországban, Finnországban, Magyarországon és Szlovákiában.

A jelentések szerint a francia–lengyel nukleáris szerződés különösen fontos a francia állami EDF energetikai vállalat számára, amely még mindig reménykedik abban, hogy részt vehet Lengyelország ambiciózus atomerőmű-építési programjában, annak ellenére, hogy az első új építésű projekt tenderét az amerikai Westinghouse nyerte el Pomeránia északi tartományában.

Franciaország maga is nagyszabású nukleáris fejlesztési terveket dédelget: a kormány nemrégiben felkérte az EDF-et, hogy gyorsítsa fel a hat új generációs EPR2 atomerőmű megépítésének előkészítését.

Az EDF kezdetben három EPR2 párost tervez: az elsőt Penlyben, majd egyet-egyet a Gravelines-i atomerőmű telephelyén (Calais közelében), illetve vagy Bugey-ben (Lyon keleti részén), vagy Tricastinban (Lyon és Avignon közelében).

A nukleáris szerződés aláírását megelőzte egy másik szerződés is, amely a két szövetséges közötti kapcsolatok elmélyítését, valamint kölcsönös biztonsági garanciákat is tartalmaz háború esetére.

Donald Tusk lengyel miniszterelnök, aki Emmanuel Macron francia elnökkel együtt írta alá a biztonsági dokumentumot, „áttörésnek” nevezte a szerződést, kiemelve, hogy csak Németországnak van hasonló biztonsági paktuma Franciaországgal, és ez Lengyelországot „egyenrangú partnerként” helyezi nyugati szövetségesei közé.

Macron eközben úgy fogalmazott, hogy a szerződés „új korszakot nyit” nemcsak Lengyelország és Franciaország, hanem egész Európa számára. „Bresttől Krakkóig Európa együtt áll ki” – mondta a francia elnök.

Nukleáris politika – 2025. május 12. | Szerző: David Dalton

Trump csapata a nukleáris erőművek építésének felgyorsítását tervezi

A Trump-adminisztráció tisztviselői végrehajtási rendeleteket készítenek elő, amelyek célja az atomerőművek jóváhagyásának és építésének felgyorsítása az Egyesült Államokban – számolt be róla a sajtó.

Az erőfeszítés, amelyet egy kormányzati tisztviselő és más, az egyeztetéseket ismerő személyek írtak le, még folyamatban van. Az elnök még nem hagyta jóvá a tervezetet – mondta az egyik forrás, aki névtelenséget kért, mivel hivatalos bejelentés még nem történt. Az amerikai Axios hírportál és a New York Times is beszámolt az egyeztetésekről.

Trump és kormányának tisztviselői többször hangsúlyozták a bőséges, olcsó villamos energia fontosságát az energiaigényes mesterséges intelligencia ipar számára, amely segítheti az Egyesült Államokat abban, hogy megnyerje a feltörekvő technológia globális versenyét.

„Meg kell nyernünk az MI-versenyt, és ebben vezetnünk kell – ehhez pedig sokkal több energiára lesz szükség” – mondta Chris Wright energiaügyi miniszter múlt hónapban egy kabinetülésen Trump társaságában.

Az elnök már hivatalosan is energia-vészhelyzetet hirdetett, nemzeti és gazdasági biztonsági szempontokra hivatkozva annak érdekében, hogy gyorsítsa az erőművek, csővezetékek és elektromos távvezetékek építését az országban.

A szóban forgó tervezetek célokat tűznének ki az atomerőművek gyors országos építésére, illetve az amerikai nukleáris ipar vezető szerepének visszaállítására.

Legalább az egyik intézkedés a Nukleáris Szabályozási Bizottságnál (NRC) vezetne be változtatásokat, amelyek gyorsíthatják az erőműtervek, köztük az új kis moduláris reaktorok (SMR-ek) engedélyezését.

Wright nemrégiben úgy nyilatkozott, hogy az új reaktorblokkok építésének legnagyobb akadálya az Egyesült Államokban a szabályozás volt.

Az elképzelés részeként akár katonai létesítményekre is telepíthetnek majd atomerőműveket, valószínűleg mikroreaktorok vagy SMR-ek formájában.

Jelenleg az Egyesült Államokban nincs kereskedelmi atomerőmű építés alatt. Az utolsó két üzembe helyezett blokk a georgiai Vogtle-3 és Vogtle-4 volt, 2023-ban és 2024-ben.

Előrehaladott tervek vannak a michigani Palisades atomerőmű újraindítására. Ha megvalósul, ez lenne az első olyan, korábban leállított amerikai atomerőmű, amely ismét működésbe lép.

Új építések – 2025. május 12. | Szerző: David Dalton

Vietnam és Oroszország tárgyalásokat kezd atomerőmű-építésről

Vietnam és Oroszország megállapodott abban, hogy tárgyalásokat folytatnak és szerződéseket írnak alá kereskedelmi atomerőművek építéséről Vietnamban – közölték a két ország egy közös nyilatkozatban.

„Az erőművek fejlesztése korszerű technológiával szigorúan megfelel majd a nukleáris és sugárbiztonsági előírásoknak, és a társadalmi-gazdasági fejlődést szolgálja” – áll a közleményben, amely a vietnami vezető, To Lam moszkvai látogatása után jelent meg.

Az orosz állami atomenergetikai vállalat, a Roszatom szerint a látogatás „az együttműködés új szakaszát” jelenti – egy nagy atomerőmű építését Délkelet-Ázsiában.

A Roszatom felajánlotta Vietnámnak a VVER-1200 nyomottvizes reaktor technológiáját, amelyből kettő már működik az oroszországi Novovoronyezs 2 atomerőműben, és kettő Fehéroroszországban.

A Roszatom közölte, hogy további tárgyalásokra van szükség a vietnami atomerőmű műszaki és pénzügyi feltételeinek tisztázásához, de hozzátette: „ezek a tárgyalások ma [május 10-én] megkezdődtek”.

A Roszatom arról is beszámolt, hogy Alekszej Lihacsov vezérigazgató és Nguyen Manh Hung vietnami tudományos és technológiai miniszter aláírt egy nukleáris energia ütemtervet.

Az ütemterv tartalmazza egy nukleáris tudományos és technológiai központ lehetséges megépítését, fűtőanyag-szállítást a dél-vietnami Dalat kutatóreaktorhoz, Vietnam részvételét Oroszország IV. generációs MBIR többcélú gyorsneutronos kutatóreaktor projektjében, valamint vietnami szakemberek képzését.

Vietnamnak jelenleg egy kutatóreaktora van Dalatban, és egy másik is tervben van. A Roszatom nem közölte, melyikre gondolt.

A múlt hónapban Vietnam elfogadta a nemzeti energiastratégia módosított változatát, amely 2030-ig 136 milliárd dollárt irányoz elő az energiaellátás hosszú távú biztonságának megerősítésére, és először szerepel benne az atomenergia.

Vietnam azt szeretné, ha első atomerőművei 2030 és 2035 között lépnének üzembe. A beépített nukleáris kapacitás várhatóan 4–6,4 GW lesz, ami körülbelül 4–6 nagy atomerőműnek felel meg.

A kormány szerint további 8 GW nukleáris kapacitás kerül majd a mixbe az évszázad közepéig.

Vietnam már 2009-ben is tervezett két atomerőművet, de a Nemzetgyűlés 2016-ban költségvetési okokból elutasította a javaslatot.

Új építések – 2025. május 12. | Szerző: David Dalton

Az NRC engedélyt adott az „energia-sziget” munkálatokra a TerraPower wyomingi atomerőművénél

Az Egyesült Államok Nukleáris Szabályozási Bizottsága (NRC) mentességet adott a TerraPower Natrium demonstrációs atomerőművének wyomingi Kemmererben, lehetővé téve a vállalat számára bizonyos „energia-sziget” tevékenységek folytatását, miközben a hatóságok tovább vizsgálják az építési engedély iránti kérelmet.

Az energia-sziget a tervezett Natrium atomerőműben a felesleges hő tárolására szolgál majd, hogy csúcsterhelés idején növelje az áramtermelést.

Az NRC szerint az energia-szigethez kapcsolódó bizonyos tevékenységek engedélyezése nem jelent indokolatlan kockázatot a közegészségre és biztonságra, és „különleges körülmények” állnak fenn.

A mentesség a létesítmények, rendszerek és komponensek korlátozott részére vonatkozik, lehetővé téve például cölöpverést, alapozást, vagy bizonyos szerkezetek, rendszerek és komponensek összeszerelését, gyártását, tesztelését korlátozott munkavégzési engedély nélkül.

Az NRC szerint a mentesség nem befolyásolja a reaktor építési engedélyéről szóló végső döntést. „Az NRC folytatja az építési engedély iránti kérelem vizsgálatát az egész projektre vonatkozóan” – áll a közleményben.

A Bill Gates által alapított TerraPower üdvözölte a döntést, hozzátéve, hogy a nukleáris reaktor és az energiatermelő létesítmények szétválasztása rövidebb építési időt és alacsonyabb anyagköltségeket tesz lehetővé.

Februárban az amerikai energiaügyi minisztérium befejezte a projekt előzetes tevékenységeire vonatkozó végső környezeti értékelést.

A TerraPower, amelyet Gates 2008-ban alapított, 2024 júniusában kezdte meg első kereskedelmi Natrium atomerőművének építését Kemmererben, ahol egy széntüzelésű erőmű zár be.

A Natrium demonstrációs projekt három különálló részből áll: egy nátrium teszt- és feltöltő létesítményből, az energiatermelő vagy energia-szigetből, valamint a nukleáris szigetből magával a reaktorral.

A kezdeti építkezés a teszt- és feltöltő létesítményre összpontosít, amely egy különálló, nem nukleáris épület, és a reaktor nátrium hűtőrendszerének tesztelésére szolgál. Itt történik a folyékony nátrium fogadása, mintavételezése, feldolgozása és tárolása, mielőtt a Natrium reaktorhoz kerülne.

Az Aecon cég nyerte az ontariói SMR építési szerződését

A kanadai Aecon Kiewit Nuclear Partners nyerte el az Ontario Power Generation (OPG) által Darlingtonban építendő első kis moduláris reaktor (SMR) kivitelezési szerződését. A szerződés értéke 1,3 milliárd kanadai dollár (934 millió USD, 841 millió euró), amely projektmenedzsmentet, kivitelezési tervezést és végrehajtást foglal magában, a befejezést és a kereskedelmi üzemet 2030-ra tervezik. Ontario tartomány és az OPG múlt héten hagyta jóvá a négy SMR első darabjának 20,9 milliárd CAD értékű tervét Darlingtonban.

26 000 dolgozó a Hinkley Point C projekten a csúcskivitelezés idején

Az Egyesült Királyságban mintegy 26 000 dolgozó vesz részt a Hinkley Point C atomerőmű építésében, amely jelenleg csúcskivitelezési szakaszban van – derül ki az EDF Energy jelentéséből. Közvetlenül a projekten 18 000-en dolgoznak, ebből 12 000-en a helyszínen, további 3 000 fővel bővülhet a létszám a következő 12 hónapban. További 8 000-en a beszállítói láncban dolgoznak. A jelentés szerint a Hinkley Point C építése fontos katalizátor a gazdasági növekedésben, jelenleg 13,3 milliárd fonttal (15,7 milliárd euró, 17,5 milliárd dollár) járul hozzá a gazdasághoz. Ebből 5 milliárd fontot már a délnyugati régió beszállítóinál költöttek el – jóval meghaladva az 1,5 milliárd fontos célt. A Hinkley Point C két francia EPR reaktort kap.

Satlantis is here!

Well…sort of. It’s a little pre-mature, but it’s good enough for you to play around with. I wouldn’t necessarily call it super ‘useful’ right now but I wanted you to get an early glimpse into what we’re building so you can see how it evolves over time.

And besides - we have to release a first version at some stage!

Satlantis is the first travel-centric social network. It’s quite different from anything else that came before it. It’s part map, part directory, part events app and part social network. 

It really is a monumental undertaking - but I’m convinced now is the time to build it. People are ready for something new. They are tired of the algorithmic slop social media has become. They’re craving real connection and they want to see, touch, smell, hear and taste the world. What better way to help them do that, than with a network that connects them, andhelps enhance their discovery of places, experiences and events that are relevant to them (based both on their interests and social connections).

That’s what this product is all about. We’re going to do what Google Maps, Yelp, Instagram, TripAdvisor etc. are all partially doing - but make it 10x better.

The first Satlantis app is now available on Apple Testflight or the Google Play store. In the coming month or two, we will make Satlantis accessible via invitation-only, to increase the quality of connection and discourse on the app, but if you’re reading this now, you’re in before we gate it, you can explore and give us some feedback while we work on it.

I will write release notes like this every couple weeks covering what we built, what to test and play with, what’s working, what needs improvement, what’s downright shit or broken and what’s coming in the next release. (This first one is the longest because I delayed it so much.)

I’d love to hear your feedback, and if you find this interesting, please share it around so other people find out about what we’re building!

---

The Good

Mobile AppWe got a version out, and you can actually use it.

• Apple Testflight 

• Google Play Store

Nostr Compatible.

Every single account on Satlantis is an nPub. You can log into Satlantis using your nSec (not your nPub - we forgot to include that...lol), and you will find your entire social network and all of your posts there (if they are media notes). On the Web, you need to use an extension, like Alby or Keys.band. On mobile you can paste your key (stored locally on the device).

Normie Friendly.

We also built a smooth non-nostr focused sign up flow. We originally used the nSec bunker, but that was a mess (love u Pablo). So we built our own nSec bunker, but that sucked too. Passwords are old school. After interviewing 100 people not into Bitcoin or Nostr, 95% of them preferred us to store their key. So…we took that feedback and created a really easy email + magic link, Google and Apple SSO sign up flow, that creates an account and Nostr keypair that we store on their behalf, encrypted.

If and when people work out what Nostr is and they want to take custody of their key, they will be able to export their key, and request deletion of their key from our DB. 

Is this the most ‘pure’ solution? No. Does this mean they have to trust us? Sure. Could we do it better at some point? Yes, of course. But considering the number of mission critical features we need to build, we’ll come back to it later.

We currently only support Kind 1 events.

Well…we also support NIP-52 calendar events, but we’ve disconnected that for the time being because event organisers wanted co-hosts more than they wanted to broadcast their events on Nostr. We’re working on a way to reconcile the two. For now, post text & images. (Video coming soon).

Interest-centric onboarding.

We spent a lot of time building this. One of the key pillars at Satlantis is discovering people, places, events and content suited to you. As we dug down the personalisation rabbithole, we found that there is a resurgence of interest-selection in many apps: from Tinder to new apps like Locals and Timeleft. The more focused on personalisation the app is, the more in-depth the onboarding.

Of course Meta and TikTok do the best personalisation with their advanced ML & AI tools, along with their deep social graphs, but since we have neither (Nostr helps but it’s still very small), we needed a better way.

So we decided to build our interest-graph. It was brain-melting, but we developed a pretty exhaustive set of interests relevant to people in our target market. We then took that list and associated it to events, merchants, people, places, experiences, activities and content. We then built a whole new onboarding flow to capture this from new users, and associate it to their accounts. (Yes - at some stage, we’ll make this Nostr compatible so it can travel with nPubs)

The net result is a base layer of insight we can use to help surface things that are of interest to users. Whether it’s an event, a place to eat, a gym or sauna, content to engage with or people to meet: like magic, things that are relevant to you will come to you.

Of course, in the long term we will use your social graph and the way you interact with content to do this - more like Meta and TikTok do - but for now, while the social graph is tiny, this is the most efficient and effective way. 

Final word: the current version has all the interests - but it’s not very user-friendly. The latest design fixes that by grouping the interests into better subcategories. Keep an eye on that in a subsequent release.

New Merchant Discovery Experience.

This was also a monumental task. Our first merchant experience was just a shitty map with a list on web, and just a list on mobile (see below). This list was ranked by an “aggregate rating” we computed by analysing all the venue’s ratings from apps like Google, Trip Advisor and more.

We spent a long time trying to figure out how to display this better and do it in a way nobody else is, because seriously -can you think of a single food app or merchant map out there which has a nice UI or UX? No.

AirBnB transformed the UI & UX for accommodation and pushed the whole space forward. Nobody has really done it for every other kind of place you go to. So we took it up ourselves to fix this and create a proper “merchant discovery experience” with an information-dense location tile. Check this out:

Notice how we managed to get all the key information you need about a place there on the one tile, including who in your social circle has recommended it. That’s the key ingredient which makes Satlantis special. No more messaging friends or people you know “hey - have you been to that place” or “do you recommend that place”? 

One small issue here is that this upgrade will kill the map…but only for a couple weeks, until we release the new map view!

Merchant coverage

Our merchant app covers SIX distinct categories: 

1. Cafes & Restaurants

2. Health & Wellness (think Gyms, Spas, Saunas, etc)

3. Attractions (from Museums, to lookouts to beaches & hikes)

4. Grocery & Specialty Foods (think Organic food store, farmers markets, etc)

5. Coworking & Event Spaces

6. Nightlife (Bars, Clubs, etc)

We scoured the web for the best curated lists and directories for each of these categories. This in Bitcoin accepted (everything relevant from BTCMaps - because we’re also built on Open Street Maps, so it’s synced up), Seed Oil Free (everything from Local Fats & Seed Oil Scout is here), Michelin Star rated, Real Milk (Raw Milk directory) and more. 

Alongside all of these directories, our network of local ambassadors have submitted their top local picks for their favorite cities, so you have real local recommendations. 

The destinations with the best maps are currently Canggu, Uvita, Prague, Sao Paulo, Dubai, Florianópolis.

Suggest Places & Merchants

This is working quite nicely. Anyone, anywhere can now suggest their favorite merchant. For now, we’re manually approving submissions daily to avoid spam and irrelevant shit. In time, we’ll find a better way to do this. 

It’s all plugged into the Google API, so you can just type in the name of the place you think should be added (from mobile or web here). Once approved, our AI pipeline goes to work gathering all the available data from Google, TripAdvisor and elsewhere to set up the merchant profile, complete with review summaries, images, profile bio, contact details, opening hours, tags and more.

Got more upgrades to this flow in the works, but it’s ready for you to try out now.

City Pages

The current city pages are part of an outdated design which doesn’t fit our new visual language, but they are a ‘live’ feature. The original idea was to blend elements of Pinterest and Instagram but it backfired so we are changing to a more slick one-column feed. That being said, the core features of the city pages work. You can:

• Join a city (like joining a community or following the page)

• Post content on the city page

• Navigate over to the different available pages, including merchants, events, scores and stats + facts

We have 80 cities currently available. More to come.

Scores, Stats & Facts

When we set out to first build Satlantis, we wanted to improve on the information NomadList was presenting for cities & destinations around the world. So we developed a different approach for city scoring based not only on data we could get from Numbeo, etc - but also information direct from people on the ground - in particular; expats and locals. 

We put together a set of score categories and created a dedicated survey for select people to fill out, which would create some “foundation” scores, with a view to have this survey available to the crowd, perhaps via a score voting system or some sort on the page. We haven’t got that far yet. Right now, we have foundation scores for each of those 80 active cities, along with key Stats and Facts, like cost of living, wifi speed, water drinkability, and more:

This is not a core feature for us, so we will look to partner with other providers to enhance the experience, or we’ll completely re-think how we’re going to do it. Stay tuned for more here and let me know if you find it useful at all right now (or not).

Events

Last but not least, we have events! God dammit this was annoying because we built it NIP-52 compatible in the beginning, which then limited what we could do with co-hosts and other essential event features. And all for nothing since there are no other well built or maintained calendar-event clients on Nostr anyway.

So right now, when you post an event on Satlantis, it will post only on Satlantis. This means that as a host, you can edit, add co-hosts, add locations (proper merchant tiles) and delete.

We will make this Nostr-compatible again, most likely with some sort of button for hosts to “broadcast this event to Nostr” - knowing they will lose some flexibility once they do - but we need to do more research here. Maybe we’ll propose an upgrade to the calendar event NIP (or propose a new NIP altogether). It’s on our roadmap, so we’ll do our best to get to it soon. 

Meetup integration.

We’ve been working with the Meetup API to let organizers quickly import their events into Satlantis. It’s been frustratingly complex because of how archaic they are, but we got it working!

🚀 If you run a Meetup, and want to automatically have your events listed on Satlantis when you list them on meetup,reach out! We’ll even cover the Meetup membership fee for 10 meetup groups who set up auto-importing for their events. If you’re interested, reach out to us.

The Bad

These things are currently bad, broken, incorrectly built or buggy. Believe me, if the list was exhaustive, this essay would be a book (our internal list is very full) - so I’m just going to touch on the main things we’re aware of and will be fixing…or just letting it burn slowly while we put out other fires.

Personal content feed

We started Satlantis with a media-only approach, taking inspiration from Instagram. We changed course a couple months ago to support text only posts, realizing there were a lot of other things people would like to post about travel, for example: guides, restaurants, reviews, tips, events, instructions, recommendations.

So…we started supporting this on the feed, and in the “post content” flow - but of course, not yet supported in the Profile view (which is still an image grid). This means if you post text only, you’re not going to see your own post on Satlantis 🤣🤣

To fix this, we’re building a “personal feed” section on your profile. But…that will come after we polish some of the things above, so if you’re posting on Satlantis right now, photos please!!

Video content

This one hurts too. We currently neither render videos from other clients, nor do we support video uploads on Satlantis. Not because we don’t want to, but because we haven’t got to it. This is high on the priority list and will be fixed in the upcoming releases.

Settings & Edit profile

We forgot to add “edit username” 🤣 

This is being added now, along with a settings section where you can get your nPub and things like that. We’ll keep it very basic for now.

Notifications

Holy crap. These really suck. There is no other way to put it. The design is not great, the experience is buggy as hell and syncing notifications from the broader Nostr network doesn’t make life any easier. We’ll be making incremental improvements here (for a long time I guess).

Limited social graph functionality.

Right now, there’s not much social-dynamics beyond the feed. This will expand and begin to influence more than just content, but also merchants, events, people, activities, etc.

Speed issues.

Feed and profile loading times are sluggish and need performance improvements. Ongoing.

Large Destinations are problematic.

How do you rate a massive city like São Paulo as a single entity? Well….you can’t. Eventually, we’ll break major cities into regions, but that’s a big project for later. 

For now, when you see scores, stats and facts, assume we’re covering the most relevant traveler-friendly areas (e.g., Jardins in São Paulo, Palermo in Buenos Aires, etc).

---

The Ugly

There is really only one new ‘feature’ to complete before we apply a feature freeze and continue on to polish everything. This and the other items listed will be available in the next release or two, so that the overall experience is a little more…beautiful.

Chat.

We wanted to do NIP-17, but considering that (a) most of the major apps are still NIP-04, (b) BTCPrague is around the corner and (c) limited resources, we chose to do a NIP-04 implementation for this first version. Not ideal, but good enough. Chat will continue to improve, not only with a NIP-17 upgrade, but with other features like chat folders, group chats, GIFs and more.

Polish List

• Merchant Experience: Web and mobile updates

• Merchant List: More cool places being uploaded

• Events: New display, RSVP flow, co-host notifications, merchant integration

• Onboarding: Updated interests tags & flow

• Scores: Updates to Cost of Living & overall score weights

• Notifications: A lot of improvement here

• Feed: Text only posts, video uploads & rendering videos from other clients

• City Page: New design and functionalities

• Zaps: Yes. We will have Zaps.

---

Final Words

We have our work cut out for us!

We will be at BTCPrague in June and we are committed to releasing all of these features and components by then…as polished as possible.

The team and I have a couple of asks:

1. Download the app, and either create a new account or if you’re on Nostr, log in with your existing Nostr key (web requires an extension like Alby)

2. Go through the interests, and select those that are most relevant to you. The magic of the app happens as a function of how accurately you select those.

3. Post some content! Could be a photo introducing yourself or a “Good Morning” or whatever. Make sure you tag @Satlantis or @Svetski and I’ll boost you.

4. Check out the merchants in the top cities & see what’s around. The city with the most merchants right now is Florianopolis, but we have some coverage in many other cities 

5. If you run a meetup or attend a regular Bitcoin meetup, let the organisers know, and let’s start to bring meetups and events across. Not asking anyone to ‘leave’ meetup now, but come and sync up your account so events are auto-published. \ As we make the events feature more robust (and Bitcoin native), every Bitcoin meetup in the world is going to want to come use this. If you’re early, you can help us shape it!

6. Let a couple of friends know about the app - ideally those who are not yet on Nostr - and ask them to try it out. They can sign up with email or SSO if they’re afraid to store their own key.

7. Like I said in the beginning, at some point in the next month or so, it will become an invite-only app. We will grandfather all existing users in, but new people will need an invite code (from existing users or via codes I drop into release notes and articles) to access it. \ \ The goal of this approach is to (a) increase the quality of connection amongst people on Satlantis, and (b) try a new way of growing a Nostr-based app.

8. Finally…we’ve decided to do an equity crowdfund. So if you find what we’re doing interesting and want to be a part of it, you’ll have a chance from June onwards. More to follow on this in the coming weeks. It will be on Timestamp Financial - Bitcoin crowdfunding platform - so go check them out.

Thank you again for your attention - I do not take it lightly. This is just the start, so expect to see ALOT more from us in the way of updates and shipping (plus these updates will be shooter). 

Make sure you subscribe to this newsletter if you’re reading on Substack, or follow me if you’re on Nostr, Medium or wherever else you’re reading it.

Let’s begin with a simple question, why do students go to a business school? Other than the obvious of not really knowing what they want to do in the future and thinking they will at least be able to get a graduate job of some type when they leave. The difficulty for business schools is then how to develop and deliver an education that provides students with a general overview of important topics of a modern business, finance, accounting, human resources, economics, marketing and a variety of other management topics, such as operations, sustainability and analytics, to name a few, that remains up to date. Not only have difficulties emerged recently with the advent of easily accessible large language models making the life of an unscrupulous student easier and the life of the diligent lecturer more difficult, but the whole nature of business is continually changing. Why learn about operations, if I can get all I need from some dark factory overseas? Why put together a marketing plan for my business, when anyone with a following can sell all the products they want with a single post? Why learn about the nuances of accounting theory when a) you’ll need to go through formal training irrespective of the degree the student earned, and b) the job may soon no longer exist as a result of AI based automation?

While a touch dark, these are questions that need to be asked within business schools today to ensure that 18 and 19 year olds, entering university, preparing to saddle themselves with upwards of £30,000 worth of debt, are not making a massive, expensive mistake. While there are the benefits related to the social and maturing process of attending university, the cost of university has forever changed this calculation for most, other than the most privileged and wealthy students. Compared to 20 years ago, taking a few years out and then starting a job made sense, where living expensive could be covered by a combination of loans, part time work and help from parents, with resources left over to a little fun. If the above questions are valid, attending university for 3 years, and then potentially feeling the need to also complete a postgraduate degree to “set yourself apart”, what you actually come out of university with needs to be given a lot of attention. As someone who has taught in university for over 10 years, I’ve seen both changes in the business environment and how students engage with studies have changed. Putting it simply, many are more focused on making ends meet than learning anything, meaning many will take any opportunity to save a little time on a piece of coursework, just to get a pass, e.g. asking chatgpt to write a 3000-word essay on “X” topic.

For me, this has resulted in students with more focus upon “getting a good degree”, than engaging in learning, meaning every short cut is taken and the drive to come out of university as a better person appears, at least partially, lost. From finding out about bitcoin a little over 5 years ago, and studying it rather intently for the last 2 and a half, I think it represents a critical subject for helping Business Schools remain relevant. Bitcoin is emerging as potentially the most important economic innovation ever, and the most rapidly growing asset in history, but it appears looked down upon in the school I work. Whether off hand comments in department meetings of “pay me in bitcoin” (followed by muffled laughter), “students only want to do research projects on ‘cryptocurrencies’” said condescendingly by an economics lecturer or published work clearly stating “we find empirical evidence that the fundamental price of Bitcoin is zero”. If people outside academia worry that universities are becoming indoctrination institutions, training young people not to investigate new topics, these views of academics are unlikely to provide an environment for a balanced, open discussion.

While I would not want to paint all members of the business school where I work with the same broad brush, I would a) be extremely interested to know how many modules make reference to bitcoin, b) how many members of staff are aware of bitcoin and c) how many have actually read the bitcoin white paper. While I wouldn’t want to make any assumptions, I would not be surprised if the responses to b) were magnitudes greater than the responses to a) and c) combined. If this is the case, the question is then raised of why this is relevant and what the students are likely missing out on by not providing them with education on this emerging topic. Importantly, this does not mean education on the thousands of new cryptocurrency projects that are released on a daily basis, just education of bitcoin, bitcoin was the first, it is the most valuable by market cap, it is the innovation, everything else doesn’t warrant attention.

Firstly, to reflect on bitcoin having a value of zero, if a student graduating university in 2025 spent their first year’s tuition fees on bitcoin (Fees approximately £9,000, bitcoin approximately £16,000 in Sept 2022), they would have been able to purchase 0.55btc. By 13-05-2025 (2 months before graduation), that same purchase would be worth over £45,000, very much non-zero. While this may be viewed by some as an example that only a high-risk gambler would pursue, a similar argument could be made for a student spending £30k (plus living expenses) to study a subject they likely didn’t fully understand, to hopefully secure a job to pay back that loan in 3 years time. However, saying that, if the student had bought bitcoin when it was higher (September 2021, so buying 0.23btc) by graduation in July 2024, there bitcoin would ONLY be worth a little over £12k (still greater than the initial investment and more than zero). However, as someone who believes in the value of education, I’m not going to tell my children or anyone of university age to take out a student loan and buy bitcoin with it, apart from likely being illegal, and at least “not in line with their intended use”.

The old man academic curmudgeon in me would suggest that the student go and learn a craft, that will have value in the future, becoming a plumber, an electrician or a carpenter, while learning about bitcoin on the side. However, after 15 years from the age of 4, being fed state sponsored indoctrination that “all the smart kids go to university”, putting such pressure on a young person may appear unkind, if ultimately “good for them”. So, what options might an academically competent individual have when they leave school and may want to keep studying? This might be where a university’s business school may be able to step in, although in my opinion, every effort must be made to reduce costs, while also increasing value of the experience. Spending money given to children (by government) for their education on administrative staff and new buildings that don’t benefit students, not to mention lecture theatres and seminar rooms that many students choose not to frequent, feels deeply wrong. The money students pay for their education should help foster a deep drive to enquire about subjects they do not yet understand and then be able to articulate and communicate that learning to others. Ideally, students will leave university with skills, that may not be quite as hands on as if they had learnt a craft, but hopefully practical in terms of helping their future employers succeed.

Now, while there are near infinite topics and examples that could be considered, from AI to robotization to new marketing philosophies to new approaches to managing supply chains, introducing bitcoin may provide a useful foundation on which to begin development of curriculum. The main concern is the views of those within the business school, while I only have a few data points and would like to be proved wrong, I worry that the British Broadcasting Corporation has successfully tainted their views on bitcoin. Did you know that each bitcoin payment‘uses a swimming pool of water’? I hope you didn’t because that was a blatantly false statement from the BBC that not been retracted since first being published in November 2023. If the views of those within the business school are misinformed, but also, if this topic they are aware of has not led to them exploring this topic further leads to further concerns, are they not inquisitive? I imagine points in the future when colleagues tell me how luck I was, to have bought bitcoin in 2020 and they aren’t so fortunate, I bite my tongue, then say; I’m not lucky, I just made the effort to learn about bitcoin (which is the most socially acceptable response I can find). But this isn’t just about buying an asset that may go up in value, but using bitcoin to add new relevance to so much of what is taught in a business school, to prepare graduates or entrepreneurs for a future that will likely benefit from having bitcoin integrated into it.

This is not a place to begin listing each module and describe in detail how bitcoin must be integrated into it. This is not sustainability, and I would not want module leaders to feel they are required to do something, even when the outcome is students feeling they are repeatedly covering topics that are not relevant to them or the topic they are studying. However, if those designing modules can appreciate what bitcoin is, they may be able to appreciate particular modules within their suite that may have elements that are aligned with aspects of bitcoin. While in no way exhaustive, modules could ask or include such topics as:

1)         Marketing: How a trillion-dollar asset succeeded without a marketing budget?

2)         Sustainability: How bitcoin mining is transforming renewable energy generation

3)         Finance: Financial engineering of bitcoin treasury companies

4)         Entrepreneurship: Venture capital for bitcoin native firms

5)         Human resources: New models of staff engagement and remuneration

6)         Tourism: Developing bitcoin holiday destinations

7)         Economics: Exploring economies using fixed supply assets in practice

8)         Accounting: Exploring alternative units of account in business

9)         Business Start-up: Exploring bitcoin enabled business start-ups

10)   Operations: Reimagining operational improvement initiatives

Through a process of clearly introducing what bitcoin is, as well as questioning established views and misunderstanding of bitcoin, modules would be able to provide students with opportunities to both learn about bitcoin and then apply it within their subject area. In comparison to the above example of the impact of simply buying bitcoin instead of going to university, the suggested modules would allow students to apply what they had learnt about bitcoin to practical contexts. By taking a step back from the potential to get more dollars or pounds, learning about bitcoin may also allow students to build appreciations of behaviours that are often associated with money that doesn’t need to be spent immediately, low time preference. While there would be no obligation, this may also enable students to begin saving in bitcoin during their time at university (rather than spending everything they earn on take out), preparing themselves for some time in the future, with assets they have previously accumulated that have appreciated in value.

However, these benefits are not limited to the students, if members of staff have been sufficiently inquisitive to explore how bitcoin could be integrated into their module or indeed their own research, they may also choose to begin saving in bitcoin. While academic careers are accepted as having potentially lower wages that some private sector jobs, but having this balanced again flexible working and good pensions, in recently years, drops in student numbers and limits on international students have put many institutions under considerable pressure. As a result, lecturers are coming under more pressure to publish more with less time dedicated to research, while also being required to spend more time in classrooms with the associate preparatory and marking burden. Without saving in bitcoin, a major concern for me is that academics are being continually stretched to do more with less, doing their own research in evenings and weekends, forced to remain in academia to collect their “good pension”, which may ultimately get cut. While able to maintain the existing system of students receiving face to face support in the short term, without spare resources to develop new knowledge and refreshing teaching material, the students will ultimately suffer, with staff being stretched ever thinner. Learning about, and then saving in bitcoin may provide staff with a buffer, knowing that they have been able to accumulate sufficient assets so they are not required to continue working 5 days a week into their 50s or 60s. The released time could then be directed towards their own learning, allowing them to make use of newly released slack resources for research and then research informed teaching.

So, to return to the opening question, why do students go to a business school? While it may be to understand elements of a business to help them decide what area of a business they may want to work in, it also needs to be able to provide students with the skills to succeed in which ever part of a business they choose to work in. For this, students need to know why they have gone to university in the first place and then had sufficient time to study and learn. Without this, university may simply be viewed as a very expensive, few gap years, they then spend the next couple of decades paying for. What learning about bitcoin may do during their university journey may do is help them answer more fundamental questions, such as what is money, which if they can’t answer, the aims of a business school and the purpose of getting a better paid graduate job must be difficult to articulate. Why spend 3 years accumulating debt, only to spend the following decades paying that debt off, particularly if the money you are earning is losing its value because of inflation? Another topic that integrating bitcoin into a business school would help articulate more clearly, particularly if existing economics modules are based on the work of John Maynard Keynes; no, no, no, inflation is not good, can you give me an example of when theft produced a positive outcome?

For those few (as a portion of population) individuals and businesses that have begun to save in bitcoin, with prices per coin approaching new all time highs, this has likely been a good decision. Bitcoin is good for saving and for businesses looking to be around in the long term, at the very least being able to save in bitcoin, is likely to have a positive impact on the business. To extend this argument to a university, but specifically a Business School, integrating bitcoin could provide students with an introduction to help them save for the future and learn about bitcoin’s relevance to business, while also potentially helping staff spend more time doing what they value. While I would never say that Business Schools should adopt/integrate bitcoin, I would definitely not want to be seen as an educational institution that wasn’t sufficiently inquisitive to be actively investigating this emerging strategic reserve asset.

A posição do libertário que rejeita o cristianismo padece de sérias incoerências lógicas, históricas e filosóficas. Ao renegar as bases espirituais e culturais que tornaram possível o próprio ideal libertário, tal posição demonstra ser, ao mesmo tempo, autofágica e irracional. É o caso de alguém que se gloria dos frutos de uma árvore que corta pela raiz.

I. Fundamento histórico: a civilização da liberdade é cristã

Não foi o secularismo moderno, nem o paganismo antigo, que ergueram as instituições que protegem a dignidade da pessoa humana e os limites ao poder. Desde os primeiros séculos, a Igreja resistiu ao culto estatal romano, afirmando a soberania de Deus sobre os Césares — "Mais importa obedecer a Deus que aos homens" (Atos 5,29).

Foi o cristianismo que:

• Fundou universidades livres, onde o saber era buscado sob o primado da verdade;

• Defendeu a lei natural como fundamento do direito — uma doutrina que protege o indivíduo contra tiranias;

• Resgatou e aprofundou o conceito de pessoa, dotada de razão e livre-arbítrio, imagem de Deus, e, portanto, inalienavelmente digna e responsável.

Em momentos-chave da história, como nas disputas entre papado e império, nas resistências contra absolutismos, e na fundação do direito internacional por Francisco de Vitoria e a Escola de Salamanca, foi o cristianismo quem freou o poder estatal em nome de princípios superiores. A tradição cristã foi frequentemente o principal obstáculo à tirania, não seu aliado.

Negar isso é amputar a própria genealogia da liberdade ocidental.

Uma das chaves do cristianismo para a construção dessa civilização da liberdade foi a exaltação do individualismo. Ao afirmar que o ser humano é feito à imagem de Deus e que sua salvação é uma escolha pessoal, o cristianismo colocou o indivíduo no centro da moralidade e da liberdade. Diferente dos gregos, cuja ética era voltada para a polis e a cidade-estado, o cristianismo reafirma a suprema importância do indivíduo, com sua capacidade de escolha moral, responsabilidade pessoal e dignidade intrínseca. Esse princípio, mais do que qualquer outra religião, foi o alicerce do desenvolvimento da liberdade individual e da autonomia, valores que sustentam a civilização ocidental.

A ética grega, na melhor das hipóteses, descreve a ordem natural — mas não consegue justificar por que essa ordem deveria obrigar a vontade humana. Um Logos impessoal não tem autoridade moral. Uma ordem cósmica sem um Legislador é apenas um dado de fato, não uma norma vinculante. A vontade pode rebelar-se contra o telos — e sem um Deus justo, que ordena a natureza à perfeição, não há razão última para não o fazer.

A cultura grega teve uma influência indiscutível sobre o desenvolvimento da civilização ocidental, mas o cristianismo não só absorveu o que havia de bom na cultura grega, como também elevou e completou esses aspectos. O cristianismo, ao afirmar que todos os homens são feitos à imagem e semelhança de Deus e têm dignidade intrínseca, levou a uma noção de igualdade moral e liberdade que transcende as limitações da pólis grega.

II. Falsa dicotomia: fé e liberdade não são opostas

Com frequência equiparam a religião à coerção e à obediência cega. Mas isso é um equívoco: o cristianismo não se impõe pela força, mas apela à consciência. O próprio Deus, em sua relação com a criatura racional, respeita sua liberdade. Como ensina a Escritura:

"Se alguém quiser vir após mim..." (Mt 16,24);
"Eis que estou à porta e bato. Se alguém ouvir a minha voz e abrir a porta, entrarei em sua casa e cearei com ele." (Ap 3,20);
"Assim falai, e assim procedei, como devendo ser julgados pela lei da liberdade." (Tiago 2,12).

A adesão à fé deve ser livre, voluntária e racional, pois sem liberdade não há verdadeiro mérito, nem amor genuíno. Isso é mais compatível com o princípio de não agressão do que qualquer utopia secular. Ora, o núcleo do evangelho é voluntarista: salvação pessoal, conversão interior, caridade.

Ninguém deve ser forçado, contra sua vontade, a abraçar a fé, pois o ato de fé é por sua natureza voluntário (Dignitatis Humanae; CDC, cân. 748,2)

Se algum Estado usa da força para impor o cristianismo, afirmar que o cristianismo causou as coerções é tão equivocado quanto dizer que a propriedade privada causa o comunismo; é uma inversão da realidade, pois o comunismo surge precisamente da violação da propriedade. Portanto, a fé forçada é inválida em si mesma, pois viola a natureza do ato de crer, que deve ser livre.

III. Fundamento moral: sem transcendência, o libertarianismo flutua no vácuo

O libertário anticristão busca defender princípios objetivos — como a inviolabilidade do indivíduo e a ilegitimidade da agressão — sem um fundamento transcendente que lhes dê validade universal. Por que a agressão é errada? Por que alguém tem direito à vida, à liberdade, à propriedade? Sem uma explicação transcendental, as respostas para tais perguntas se tornam apenas opiniões ou convenções, não obrigações morais vinculantes. Se a moralidade é puramente humana, então os direitos podem ser modificados ou ignorados conforme a vontade da sociedade. O conceito de direitos naturais, tão caro ao libertarianismo, precisa de um solo metafísico que justifique sua universalidade e imutabilidade. Caso contrário, eles podem ser tratados apenas como acordos utilitários temporários ou preferências culturais, sem qualquer obrigatoriedade para todos os seres humanos em todas as circunstâncias.

Pensadores libertários seculares, como Ayn Rand e Murray Rothbard, tentaram ancorar os direitos naturais na razão humana ou na natureza do homem. Rand baseia sua ética no egoísmo racional, enquanto Rothbard apela à lei natural. Embora essas abordagens busquem objetividade, elas carecem de uma resposta definitiva para por que a razão ou a natureza humana obrigam moralmente todos os indivíduos. Sem um fundamento transcendente, suas concepções permanecem vulneráveis a interpretações subjetivas ou a cálculos utilitários.

Aqui, o cristianismo oferece uma explicação sólida e transcendental que fundamenta os direitos naturais. A visão cristã de que o ser humano foi criado à imagem e semelhança de Deus confere à pessoa uma dignidade intrínseca, imutável e universal. Essa dignidade não depende de fatores externos, como consenso social ou poder político, mas é uma característica inerente ao ser humano pela sua criação divina. A partir dessa perspectiva teológica, torna-se possível afirmar com base sólida que os direitos naturais são dados por Deus e, portanto, são universais e vinculantes.

O cristianismo também é a base de um sistema moral que distingue claramente justiça de legalidade. O Estado pode criar leis, mas isso não significa que essas leis sejam justas. A justiça, sob a ótica cristã, é uma expressão da ordem moral objetiva, algo que transcende as leis humanas e é definido pela vontade divina. Por isso, o libertarianismo cristão vê a agressão como uma violação de uma ordem moral objetiva, e não apenas uma violação de uma convenção social ou de um acordo utilitário.

Se a moralidade e os direitos naturais não forem fundamentados em um Logos criador e legislador, o que acontece é que o conceito de direito natural degenera para algo mais frágil, como um simples acordo utilitário. Nesse cenário, os direitos do indivíduo se tornam algo acordado entre os membros de uma sociedade, em vez de princípios imutáveis e universais. Os direitos podem ser negociados, alterados ou ignorados conforme o interesse do momento.

IV. Fundamento científico: a racionalidade moderna é filha da fé cristã

A ciência moderna só foi possível no contexto cultural cristão. Nenhuma outra civilização — nem a grega, nem a islâmica, nem a chinesa — produziu o método científico como o Ocidente cristão o fez.

Isso se deve a quatro premissas teológicas:

1. Criação racional: O mundo é ordenado por um Deus racional.

2. Distinção entre Criador e criatura: A natureza não é divina e pode ser estudada sem sacrilégio.

3. Valor do trabalho e da observação empírica, herdado do monaquismo.

4. Autonomia institucional, presente nas universidades medievais.

A doutrina cristã da Criação ex nihilo ensina que o mundo foi criado por um Deus racional, sábio e pessoal. Portanto, o cosmos é ordenado, possui leis, e pode ser compreendido pela razão humana — que é imagem do Criador. Isso contrasta fortemente com as cosmovisões panteístas ou mitológicas, onde o mundo é cíclico, arbitrário ou habitado por forças caprichosas.

Sem essa fé no Logos criador, não há razão para crer que a natureza tenha uma ordem inteligível universal e constante, que pode ser descoberta por observação e dedução. A ciência moderna só é possível porque, antes de investigar a natureza, pressupôs-se que ela era investigável — e isso foi uma herança direta do pensamento cristão.

Homens como Bacon, Newton, Kepler e Galileu viam na ciência um modo de glorificar o Criador. O ateísmo cientificista é, portanto, parasitário da teologia cristã, pois toma seus frutos e rejeita suas raízes. A ciência moderna nasceu como filha legítima da fé cristã. E os que hoje a usam contra sua mãe, ou são ingratos, ou ignorantes.

V. O cristianismo como barreira à revolução cultural

O cristianismo é a barreira mais sólida contra a infiltração revolucionária. A chamada "marcha gramsciana", que visa corroer os fundamentos morais da sociedade para subjugar o indivíduo ao coletivo, encontra sua resistência mais firme nos princípios cristãos. A fé cristã, ao proclamar a existência de uma verdade objetiva, de uma lei moral imutável e de uma dignidade humana que transcende o Estado e o consenso social, imuniza a civilização contra o relativismo e o igualitarismo nivelador do marxismo cultural.

Além disso, o cristianismo é uma tradição milenar, profundamente enraizada no cotidiano das pessoas, não sendo uma novidade a ser imposta ou implementada, mas uma força presente há séculos, que permeia a estrutura social, moral e cultural da sociedade. Sua presença constante nas comunidades, desde os tempos mais antigos, oferece uma resistência robusta contra qualquer tentativa de subverter a ordem natural e moral estabelecida.

Não por acaso, tanto Karl Marx quanto Antonio Gramsci identificaram no cristianismo o principal obstáculo à realização de seus projetos revolucionários. Marx chamou a religião de "ópio do povo" porque sabia que uma alma ancorada em Deus não se submete facilmente ao poder terreno; Gramsci, mais sutil, propôs a destruição da cultura cristã como pré-condição para o triunfo do socialismo. Sem essa âncora transcendente, a sociedade torna-se presa fácil das engenharias sociais que pretendem redefinir arbitrariamente o homem, a família e a liberdade.

---

Conclusão

O libertário anticristão, consciente ou não, nega as fundações mesmas do edifício que habita. Ao rejeitar o cristianismo, cava o abismo sob os próprios pés, privando o ideal libertário de sua base moral, cultural e racional. Ele defende a ética voluntária, a liberdade individual e a ordem espontânea, mas sem o solo metafísico e histórico que torna esses princípios inteligíveis e possíveis. É um erro tentar preservar a liberdade em termos absolutos sem reconhecer as raízes cristãs que a sustentam, pois o cristianismo é a única tradição que a legitima e a viabiliza.

Negar o cristianismo é racionalmente insustentável. A liberdade, como a conhecemos, é filha da fé cristã, que oferece a base moral e metafísica que torna a liberdade tanto desejável quanto possível. Mesmo que ateu, o libertário que ama a liberdade deveria, no mínimo, respeitar — e, idealmente, redescobrir — essas raízes cristãs. Pois sem fé, restam apenas o niilismo e o relativismo, que, eventualmente, desaguam na servidão.

Como nos ensina a tradição: Ubi fides ibi libertas — onde há fé, há liberdade.

Es ist nicht anders zu erklären: Wir erleben die Verschwörung fast aller Politiker (jetzt schon die 2. Garde herausragender Geistesgrößen), Institutionen (NGOs), Behörden (RKI, PEI), Gerichte und die öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien gemeinsam gegen die Wahrheit. Erkennungszeichen: Der in Moral getauchte erhobene Zeigefinger als neuer deutscher Gruß. Das ist Größenwahn!

Dies wird jedoch nur von einem kleinen Teil der Gesellschaft wahrgenommen, weil der weitaus größere Teil nach wie vor die Wahrheit nicht hören will.

Aktuelles Beispiel: Das war sicher nur eine Rotzfahne, die Herr Macron, bekannt für sein schlechtes Benehmen, auf dem Tisch liegen lassen hat, nachdem er sich geschnäuzt hatte. Und Herr Merz hat mit einer Büroklammer gespielt, die wie ein Speitel aussah.

Das ist ein psychologisches Ding, und die Frage ist, warum manche immun gegen Propaganda und Manipulation sind und viele leider nicht.

Deutschland macht sich sowohl innen- als auch außenpolitisch immer mehr zur Deppen-Insel. Während außerhalb Friedensbemühungen stattfinden, droht der Blackrock-Spargel 2. Wahl weiter mit neuen Sanktionen, die in der Vergangenheit schon nicht gewirkt haben. Die Beschlagnahmung russischer Gelder kann dazu führen, dass europäische Gelder im Ausland ebenso beschlagnahmt werden, und das könnte das Ende des Euro bedeuten, was an sich nicht das Problem wäre, wenn die Menschen nicht unter einer Finanzkrise zu leiden hätten. „Der kleine Mann“ war ja von je her immer schon der Doofe.

Taurus ist immer noch nicht endgültig vom Tisch. Es kommt gar nicht darauf an, dass die Lieferung den Kriegsverlauf nicht beeinflussen würde, sondern vielmehr darauf, dass sich spätestens hier Wiesbaden, Düsseldorf-Rheinmetall, Garmisch-Patenkirchen und die Waffenindustrie am Bodensee zu einem legitimen Ziel für Russland machen würden.

Innenpolitisch kommen die in der Corona-Zeit erprobten, bewährten und loyalen Systemlinge aus den Medien in Sprecherpositionen in die Bundespressekonferenz-Show oder ins Innenministerium. Eine Ex-Ministerin landet sanft im Desinformations-Bekämpfungs-Ausschuss, wo sie aufgrund ihrer eigenen Praxiserfahrung in Desinformieren bestens aufgehoben ist.

Ein anderer Minister wechselt in den Ausschuss für „Peterchens Mondfahrt“. Ganz oben auf der Agenda: Rheinländer im Weltall.

Die ehemalige Chef-Diplomatin, die bis heute noch nicht verstanden hat, dass Diplomatie nicht das Ausstellen von Diplomen bedeutet, landet hunderttausende von Kilometern entfernt in Nju Jörg, um ein paar Brocken Englisch zu lernen. Der Speck der Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt, möge die Übung gelingen.

Alles zusammen erzeugt so viel Unterdruck, der geeignet ist, eine Implosion herbeizuführen.

Der Widerstand kann stolz auf die vielen engagierten Menschen sein, die sich über Jahre nicht haben brechen lassen und unbeirrt das Schild der Freiheit, der Demokratie, der Meinungsfreiheit, das Grundgesetz, das Recht und die Würde des Menschen hochhalten.

Die staatlichen Schikanen, die spätestens mit Corona ihren Anfang genommen haben, hier aber auf jeden Fall sichtbar geworden sind, haben sowohl das Schlimmste, als auch das Beste im Menschen hervorgerufen. Die Spaltung hat zwangsläufig erfolgen müssen, weil die Widerständler, im Sinne eines sich gegen das Volk richtenden Systems, immer wieder auf die Ja-Sager zugegangen sind, diese jedoch die Wiederaufnahme eines Dialogs weitgehend abgelehnt haben. Sei es durch aktive Verwehrung, oder durch passives Schweigen und Ignorieren.

All diese Schikanen, die Lügen, Weglassungen, Verdrehungen haben auch etwas Gutes: Sie haben bei vielen Menschen das Denken geschult und noch einmal ganz bewusst gemacht, wie wichtig die Freiheit ist. Sie haben erkannt, dass sie keine Naturgewalt ist und dass es nötig ist, sich für sie einzusetzen, wenn Kräfte am Werk sind, die sie abschaffen wollen.

Ja, dem Widerstand geht es um die Freiheit. Die Freiheit im Denken, im Fühlen und im Wollen. Und seit Corona auch im freien Atmen.

Denjenigen, die glauben, dass all ihre Schreiben, Berechnungen, Posts, Videos und Kanäle bis heute nichts gebracht haben, denen sei gesagt:

Doch, ihr habt die Aufklärung übernommen, die eigentlich von staatlicher Seite her hätte erfolgen müssen.

Alle Fakten sind sauber recherchiert und liegen auf dem Tisch. Das alles war und ist nicht umsonst.

Da an die Tatsachenverbreitung derjenigen Medien, die zur Verschwörung gehören, nicht zu denken ist, machen wir es eben selbst. Das dauert vielleicht länger, aber die Wahrheit hat sich am Ende immer durchgesetzt. Nicht verzagen, steter Tropfen höhlt den Stein.

Und seien wir doch mal ehrlich: Würden wir freiwillig an dem Ast sägen, auf dem wir sitzen, wenn wir in deren misslicher Lage wären? Es kann nur weiter gelogen werden, weil in einigen temperamentvolleren Ländern als Deutschland, die Bevölkerung kurzen Prozess machen würde. Daraus könnte ein Domino-Effekt entstehen, und der ist unter allen Umständen zu verhindern.

Es wäre noch nicht einmal undenkbar, diejenigen weiter in der Matrix leben zu lassen, denen die Realität und Tatsachen zu anstrengend sind, wenn gewährleistet würde, dass diejenigen, die sich entschieden haben die rote Pille zu schlucken, in Ruhe gelassen würden. Derzeit hat man eher den Eindruck, es wird mit allen Mitteln versucht, diese Menschen wieder ins System zurücksaugen zu wollen. Sei es mit dem Digital Services Act, Hausdurchsuchungen, Kontenkündigungen, Jobverlust, Existenzvernichtung oder anderen Maßnahmen, die geeignet sind, Exempel zu statuieren, die andere einschüchtern sollen, ja nicht auch auf die Idee zu kommen, sich dem System entgegenzustellen und die falschen Fragen laut auszusprechen.

Kein Mensch hat das Recht zu gehorchen!

Wir wollen keine Tyrannei der Mehrheit. Die breite Masse der Gesellschaft ist immer schon mit dem Strom geschwommen, sei es aus Bequemlichkeit, aus Unvermögen oder aus Desinteresse. Kein Wecker kann hier laut genug klingeln, um sie aufzuwecken.

Die Diplomatie in Deutschland wurde abgeschafft. Nicht, weil erkannt wurde, dass sie in der heutigen Zeit nicht mehr funktioniert, sondern weil diejenigen, die es können müssten, mangels fachlicher, sachlicher und menschlicher Qualifikation dazu nicht in der Lage sind. Diplomatisches Unvermögen und eine ordentliche Portion Russenhass scheinen unbedingtes Einstellungskriterium zu sein, um in Verantwortung zu kommen. Wer in Drohen eine Eins hatte, ist ganz vorne dabei.

Es ist ein unverschämter Raub von Lebenszeit der Beklagten, wie z. B. Ballweg, Füllmich, Guérot, der nur dazu dient, Exempel zu statuieren, um zu zeigen, wie das System seine Muskeln spielen lassen kann, wenn man nicht so funktioniert, wie es sich das System wünscht. Aber auch hier und da gibt es noch Richter, die ihrem Gewissen verpflichtet sind, unterstützt von unermüdlichen Anwälten, die sich der Rechtspflege und nicht dem Rechtsverdrehen verpflichtet sehen. Deutschland hat gute Gesetze, wenn sie nur schon wieder vollumfänglich gelten würden. Nicht kritische Stimmen delegitimieren den Staat, sondern der sogenannte Staat verbiegt die Rechtsprechung zu seinen Gunsten, auf die wir uns alle geeinigt haben und die für uns alle gilt.

Und sogar in der Medizin gibt es noch Ärzte mit Gewissen, denen der Satz „Primum non nocere“ oberste Pflicht und Berufsehre ist. Deren Aufgabe wäre es, das bei dem kritischen Teil des Volkes nicht mehr vorhandene Vertrauen, nach allen Regeln der Heilkunst wieder herzustellen. Begleitet durch die Forderung der Abschaffung der Fallpauschalen und das Wiederabschaffen der verordneten Gewinnorientierung zugunsten eines möglichst wirtschaftlich arbeitenden Gesundheitsbetriebes. Besonderer Respekt wäre hier der Generation zu zollen, die dieses Land wiederaufgebaut hat, nachdem ein Irrer es wiederholt in Schutt und Asche gelegt hat.

Ein Neuanfang ist schon mit dem ständigen Wachsen der Neuen Medien getan. Wer schaut sich noch den einseitig-selbstherrlichen Dreck im Staatsfunk an oder liest eine Zeitung aus dem Neues-Deutschland-Verlag?

Der tägliche Wahnsinn mit einem schier unerschöpflichen Potenzial für neue Absurditäten zehrt an denjenigen, die der Gehirnwäsche erfolgreich widerstanden haben. Und wenn es auch Tage der Niedergeschlagenheit gibt, am nächsten Tag wird die Krone zurechtgerückt und weitergemacht, ok? Niemals vergessen: Wir, die wir offensichtlich bei Verstand geblieben sind, können jeden Morgen in den Spiegel schauen, wir sind aufrichtig und haben ein Rückgrat. Wir sind keine wirbellosen Nacktschnecken, die eine klebrige Schleimspur hinter sich herziehen und zu nichts anderem taugen, als anderen auf den Wecker zu gehen und das Leben schwer zu machen.

Wir sind keine egoistischen Speichellecker, die nur darauf bedacht sind, irgendwie mit dem Kopf über Wasser zu bleiben, weil sie sich eingeredet haben, dass sie davonkommen:

„Wird schon gut gehen. Wir sind auf der Seite der Gewinner. Wir sind die Stärkeren. Wir halten zusammen. Gegen uns kommen diese Deppen sowieso nicht an.“

Ich bin der Teil von jener Kraft, die Böses will und Gutes schafft.

Wir werden sehen, wer hier die Hosen anhat: Die Wahrheit oder der Wahnsinn.

Digital Happiness has announced DreadOut 3, a third-person horror adventure game, which will be released on PC (Steam).

DreadOut 3 is a third-person horror adventure inspired by Asian - Indonesian urban legend. Follow Linda’s journey as Keepers of the Dark into an interdimensional rabbit hole to find the source of unseen power threatening the balance of light and darkness. This spine-chilling sequel expands on the cult hit original, making DreadOut 3 another terrifying chapter in the world of the unseen.

They've also released a short playtest gameplay footage of the game in its pre-alpha state.

Hostr

Hive + Nostr = Hostr, a bidirectional bridge.

Hostr is a bidirectional bridge between Nostr and Hive. What you post on one is automatically cross-posted to the other. (See SETUP.md if you want to jump right in and run it.)

This is experimental. Expect that there will be glitches, errors, and corrections to be made. So, consider it very beta, with no guarantees, and use at your own risk.

Nostr and Hive have differences, mainly, Nostr is a protocol and Hive is a blockchain. Nostr does not have a token, although bitcoin is much-loved and used across Nostr. Hive has two main tokens: HIVE and the HBD stablecoin. More importantly, Nostr and Hive have similarities. Both are decentralized and censorship resistant thanks to users owning and controlling their own private keys.

Nostr users - why you might want to bridge to Hive

I feel the #1 reason a Nostr user might wish to use this bridge is to permanently store and chronicle your Nostr notes.

1. Immutability for your Nostr notes. Your notes on Nostr are held on relays; if they go away, your notes go away. (There was a “nosdrive.app” backup, however I do not believe it’s still working.) Hive is immutable. There is no "delete" and even an “edit” on Hive does not erase the original. Like with a wiki page, a Hive edit shows the most recent version, but the original still remains historically. This would give Nostr users a permanent record of their notes in chronological order.

2. Hive is an excellent long form blogging platform with stable and persistent links. Finding old Nostr notes can be difficult.

3. Increase your reach and potentially gain followers. Your content will bridge off of the Nostr island and be opened to 10-30,000 daily Hive users. Go to https://peakd.com/c/hive-133987 and look for “Hive statistics” to see numbers.

4. Earn rewards in HIVE and HBD. “Likes” on Nostr do not reward you monetarily, but every upvote on Hive yields rewards. For bitcoin maxis, these tokens can easily be swapped into sats with tools like the https://v4v.app web app, or others.

5. Help grow Nostr. Every note that bridges over to Hive will have a footer saying something like, “This note originated on Nostr,” with a link back to your Nostr note on njump.me. On that page, a "Join Nostr" button is prominent.

Hive users - why you might want to bridge to Nostr

1. Increase your reach and potentially gain followers. Your content will be bridged off the Hive island and be opened to 17-18,000 daily users. See https://stats.nostr.band for Nostr stats.

2. Earn bitcoin sats in the form of “zaps.” Nostr does not have a token. But, it has a strong culture of zapping (tipping) bitcoin satoshis to other users to reward quality content. Memes are loved and often zapped too.

3. Unlimited posting. Nostr is not held back by posting or activity limitations, such as with Resource Credits or community norms that frown on posting too often.

4. Even more censorship resistance. Hive is truly censorship-free in that posted content, no matter the content, does indeed posted. However, front ends can choose to show or not show content that the community has downvoted. Nostr is more free speech or censorship resistant...you post it, it's posted. (Relays can choose to relay it or not, accept it or reject it, but you could run your own relay.)

5. Help grow Hive. Every post that bridges over to Nostr will have a footer saying something like, “This post originated on Hive,” with a link back to your Hive blockchain post. This brings wider exposure to Hive.

Quirks about Nostr and Hive

If you’re unfamiliar with Nostr, it has a few quirks:

• You have one private key, called an “nsec”. It goes along with your “npub”, your public key. Your npub is your username, your nsec IS your account.

• You simply need an nsec, then a “client” which is a front end.

• You need to add “relays” to your client in order to connect. This is very easy, but how to do it depends on the client. Client's usually walk you through this when you start.
• Short form content (like the old "Tweets") are called kind 1 notes. Long form notes, like most Hive posts, are called kind 30023.

If you’re unfamiliar with Hive, it has more quirks:

• Hive has five private keys, yes, five. Each has a specific purpose. From least powerful to most powerful, they are: posting key (to post), active key (to move tokens), owner key (to do anything), memo key (to dm/pm), and backup/master private key (to totally restore all keys). Don’t worry about all the keys. For Hostr, we only deal with posting notes/posts, so the posting key is all we deal with.

• Hive has a culture of frowning on posting too often. Doing so can be seen as trying to milk the HIVE/HBD rewards that you gain from upvotes. Too much posting can be viewed as spamming and result in downvotes (this hurts your Web-of-Trust score, called “reputation” on Hive, and is shown alongside your username; you want to grow and keep your reputation up). The chain also has a 5-minute cool-down rule coded in: after posting, you cannot post for another five minutes.

• Additionally, to avoid spam, Hive actions burn “Resource Credits” or RCs. Think of RCs as the charge % in your phone battery. Every action on Hive uses RCs, so they dwindle with every use. Posting is high in RC cost. Bad news: if you run out of RCs, you’re unable to do things on Hive. Good news: RCs also recharge. If out of RCs, you can wait and then do things later. For the Hostr script, over-posting means the script will post until RCs are exhausted, then it will stall until RCs are recharged, post again, stall, etc. You can check your RCs in many places, such as a Hive explorer like https://hivescan.info and entering your Hive username. If you have RC issues, reach out for help.

You don't want to over-post on Hive. To avoid over-posting, Hostr has two versions of the script:

1. bidirectional-longform30023.js

   • Nostr ➡️ Hive - Listens only for kind 30023 (long form) Nostr notes to bridge over to Hive. Kind 1 short form notes are ignored.
   • Hive ➡️ Nostr - Any Hive post over 380 characters gets truncated as a kind 1 (short form) Nostr note (with a link back to the full Hive post).

2. bidirectional-bridge.js

   • Nostr➡️Hive - This script listens for both kind 1 (short form) and kind 30023 (long form) Nostr notes and bridges both over to Hive.
   • Hive ➡️ Nostr - Same as above (380+ is truncated).

Which script version should I use?

1. If you post frequently on Nostr (more than 2 times per day?), the bidirectional-longform30023.js script is likely best. Per Hive community norms, you don't want to post too often on there. With this script version, only long form notes will bridge over from Nostr to Hive.
2. For newcomers to Hive, I would start with this script to be safe.

3. If in doubt, use this script.

4. If you post infrequently on Nostr (2 times per day or fewer?), the bidirectional-bridge.js (both kinds 1 and 30023) might work fine for you.

Nostr users - how to begin

You’ll need a Hive account. You can see sign-up options at https://signup.hive.io. Some options are free, others are not. I (crrdlx) have some free “VIP tickets” to sign up with and you are welcome to use one if you wish, see https://crrdlx.vercel.app/hive-vip-ticket.html. If the tickets there are already spent, contact me and I'll get you set up.

As with Nostr, the critical thing with a Hive account is saving your keys. Hive has multiple keys, just save them all. We’ll only use the “posting key” for the Hostr bridge, however. The other keys can be used on Hive if you wish. (For instance, the "active key" is used to handle your HIVE/HBD rewards earned, the "memo key" for private messages.)

Once signed up (and keys are safe), you can adjust your Hive account/profile using any Hive front end like https://peakd.com/username, https://ecency.com/username, or https://hive.blog/username. Just remember, every action on Hive burns RCs, keep an eye on that.

You can learn more about Hive at https://hivewiki.vercel.app if you wish.

See the "Setting up..." section below to set up the bridge.

Hive users - how to begin

You’ll need a Nostr account. Getting a Nostr "account" is nothing more than generating keys. A simple way to do this is at https://nstart.me If you wish to dig into details, take a look at http://nostrwiki.crrdlx.infinityfreeapp.com/doku.php?id=wiki:get-started

As with Hive, you simply need to safely store your private keys. On Nostr, your private key is called your “nsec” (sec, as in “secret”). Your public key is your “npub” (pub, as in "public"). Your nsec is all you need, but just so you know, your private key comes in two formats: (a) your nsec, and (b) the “hex” form (same key, just different forms). With the Hostr bridge, we’ll use the hex private key. Depending on how you join Nostr, your hex key may be given to you at sign up. But, even if it's not, you can always check back-and-forth between nsec and hex keys using a tool like https://nostrtool.com and choosing "Load a privkey from nsec/hex".

警惕：那些“帮你”保管密钥的人

—— 多签钱包中的隐形风险与逻辑陷阱

“我们可以帮您设置一个更安全的钱包。” 这句话，听上去就像是关心，其实却可能是一次有预谋的接管。

---

摘要

多签钱包被广泛视为提升数字资产安全性的“进阶方案”，尤其适用于不希望将所有信任寄托于单一点故障（如一把私钥）的人群。然而，在这些看似“民主化”、“抗单点失败”的技术结构背后，仍潜藏着极为隐秘且被低估的风险。

本文聚焦两类常见却高度隐蔽的逻辑攻击模型：

• 替换 xpub 并接管下一层级地址生成；
• 伪造 k-of-n 多签结构，在形式上给予用户参与感，实则实现单人提款。

在未引入 Taproot 的传统多签结构下，这类攻击已能轻易完成。而即便在 Taproot 和 MuSig2 合约模型下，攻击者也可以借助合成结构进一步隐藏其篡改行为。

本报告不仅梳理攻击逻辑，更强调“人性中的信任误区”——攻击者不需要主动索取密钥，只需要维持友善形象，自会有用户主动递交钥匙。更令人警惕的是，在某些极端场景下，这类“被信任的服务商”甚至可能向受害者收取“保管密钥”的费用后再实施盗窃，形成双重获利。

Taproot 虽然在结构上增强了隐私与复杂性，但也使验证逻辑失去了可直观还原的优势。随着时间推移、服务厂商退出市场乃至私有恢复流程被锁死，用户极可能落入无法恢复的“密钥黑箱”中。

阅读本文，希望你能意识到：

真正的安全，从不是托付给别人帮你“多签”，而是你真正理解你签了什么、和谁签的、签名之后将通往哪一个脚本。

多签钱包的逻辑攻击向量分析

以 xpub 替换与伪造 k-of-n 结构为例

---

攻击模型一：替换 xpub 实现地址劫持

场景设定

攻击者假扮为友好的钱包初始化服务者，主动提出“免费帮你生成一个更安全的多签钱包”。表面上，他为你设置了标准的 HD 多签结构，实际上却在关键的派生路径中，悄悄将本应由你或另一个可信方持有的 xpub 替换为他自己的。

在 HD 钱包结构（例如 BIP45、BIP67）中，用户通常无法直观验证每一个新地址是否仍属于原来的签名组。这种设计让“看上去很安全”的地址，可能早已成为攻击者可完全支配的提款口袋。

攻击结构（逻辑表示）

• 假设多签参与者为 P1, P2, P3
• 攻击者控制伪造者身份 P1'，实际替代掉用户的 P1
• 地址生成函数为：

Addr = f(xpub(P1'), xpub(P2), xpub(P3))

• 用户未验证 xpub 时，成立：

∃ Addr_i ∈ wallet, spendable_by(attacker)

换言之，钱包中的某些地址虽然看起来正常，但已可被攻击者花费。

人性陷阱提示

用户往往不认为“地址生成这件事”是需要人工检查的，特别是在使用 Ledger、Trezor 等硬件钱包时形成了“签名即安全”的错觉。而攻击者只需一次替换，就能悄悄监视整个钱包生命周期。

更重要的是，攻击者不需要向你“索取密钥”，他只需维持友善、专业甚至略带“为你好”的姿态。在 100 个用户中，总会有一部分人，在受到“信任感”与“他人看起来更专业”的影响下，主动提出将某个密钥托管给对方，甚至支付一定“密钥保管费”作为安全保障。这类行为并非愚蠢，而是人性的一部分。

这种松懈与依赖，背后深植着心理学上著名的「责任分散效应（diffusion of responsibility）」。当责任从“自己一人持有私钥”转变为“我们多人共同掌控”时，大脑会自动削弱“必须百分百保护密钥”的紧迫感；一旦密钥有三份或五份，人就会默认“即使我丢了一份也无所谓”，由此降低警惕，弱化加密习惯的执行力度。

尤其是在多签结构下，密钥不再是“唯一真理”。你开始认为：“我只是 n-of-m 的一员”，进而产生 安全责任稀释（safety dilution）。举个例子：如果你的 seed words 是唯一的，你很可能将其写在一张专用纸上，藏入防火袋，存放于密封保险箱中；但一旦你拥有的是 3-of-5 多签中的一份，你可能就只是把它存在 Evernote、存图于手机相册，或者发给自己 Telegram 备份——并自我安慰说：“这只是其中一把钥匙，又不怕。”

这正是攻击者渗透的最佳入口。他无需破解密码学算法，仅凭理解人性中的懒惰、依赖与责任下沉机制，就足以发起极具杀伤力的社会工程攻击。

提醒：没有人例外。你的安全不是由数学公式决定，而是由你是否对它持续保持敬畏与冷静判断所决定的。

---

Taproot 下的隐蔽性升级

在 Taproot + MuSig2 合约结构中：

• 合成公钥如：P = H(P1 + P2 + P3)
• 用户无法从地址推导出其组成
• 所有 pubkey 被掩盖，无任何可读性结构泄露

结果：攻击者替换某个 xpub 之后，哪怕是资深用户，也无法通过比对地址结构来发现任何异常。

---

攻击模型二：伪造 k-of-n 多签脚本结构

场景设定

攻击者承诺为你部署一个“非常安全”的 2-of-3 多签钱包。然而他实际创建的却是一个 1-of-3 结构，并诱导你保留或交出其中一个密钥。

用户一旦信任其脚本不可见性（或 UI 模糊性），资金注入该地址之后，攻击者即可单独提款。

攻击结构（逻辑描述）

• 正确脚本应为：

OP_2 <pk1> <pk2> <pk3> OP_3 OP_CHECKMULTISIG

• 实际被构造为：

OP_1 <pk1> <pk2> <pk3> OP_3 OP_CHECKMULTISIG

• 用户错误地相信：

user_believes(k=2) ∧ attacker_has(sk1) → safe

• 但实际上：

real_k = 1 ∧ attacker_has(sk1) → attacker_can_spend

成立条件

• 用户未能验证 redeem script
• 钱包界面（UI 或 PSBT）未明确标识 k 值与脚本结构
• 攻击者拥有脚本定义权，或 UI 权限

人性陷阱提示

这类攻击往往并非“高技术”，而是利用用户对脚本结构的无感。尤其是当攻击者扮演“技术专家”时，用户往往不具备审查 redeem script 的能力或意识。攻击者甚至可以用“给你设置一个冷备密钥”作为幌子，骗取部分 key，并收取额外费用。

多签攻击模型对比分析（无表格）

• 攻击类型一：xpub 替换
• 本质：公钥注入
• 隐蔽性：极高（生成地址完全正常）
• 关键条件：用户未验证每个 xpub

• Taproot 是否能规避：否，反而更难发现

• 攻击类型二：伪造 k-of-n

• 本质：脚本结构欺骗
• 隐蔽性：中等（需查看 redeem script 才能识别）
• 关键条件：用户不懂脚本，UI 不展示结构
• Taproot 是否能规避：否，合约结构反而隐藏了更多细节

---

安全建议（基于当前攻击模型）

1. 强制在 UI 中完整展示所有 xpub、合成地址派生路径与对应签名人列表
2. 如 Coldcard 的二维码验证机制
3. 用户必须自行保存每个 xpub，并可验证任一地址确实源自该集合派生
4. 多签钱包必须提供可见 redeem script 的界面与 k 值校验提示
5. 不接受“帮你配置好了”的 UI 黑箱
6. Taproot 虽增强隐私，但也加剧验证障碍
7. 若使用合签结构，应避免依赖第三方界面进行签名决策
8. 始终优先使用硬件钱包本地签名流程，避免通过 Web 或中间服务生成交易

真实案例分析

1. Coldcard 硬件钱包的 xpub 替换漏洞

2021 年，安全研究员 benma 发现 Coldcard 硬件钱包在注册多签钱包时，未验证自身是否为多签钱包的一部分。这使得恶意计算机钱包可以用攻击者控制的 xpub 替换多签 xpub，同时仍通过所有用户验证。所有接收到此多签钱包的币随后可以随时转移到攻击者的钱包。

2. Bybit 交易所的多签钱包被黑事件

2025 年 2 月，Bybit 交易所的多签冷钱包在一次例行转账中被黑，损失约 14.6 亿美元。该钱包使用 2-of-3 多签设置，意味着需要三位授权签名人中的两位批准交易。用户界面显示了合法的目标地址，并且 URL 与受信任的多签提供商 Safe 相关联。但这是一种欺骗。黑客利用硬件钱包中的“盲签名”漏洞，使设备只能显示交易的哈希，从而掩盖了一个更改，使攻击者控制了钱包的智能合约。

3. Parity 多签钱包漏洞

2017 年，Parity 多签钱包版本 1.5+ 中发现了一个漏洞，允许攻击者窃取超过 150,000 ETH（约 3000 万美元）。攻击者向受影响的合约发送两个交易：第一个获取多签的独占所有权，第二个移动其所有资金。
来源：blog.openzeppelin.com

---

攻击流程图解

1. 建立信任：攻击者以技术专家或受信任的服务提供商身份接近受害者，提出帮助设置多签钱包。
2. 替换 xpub：在设置过程中，攻击者用自己控制的 xpub 替换原本应由用户或第三方控制的 xpub。
3. 生成地址：攻击者生成看似正常的多签地址，并展示给用户，用户未进行验证。
4. 资金注入：用户将资金转入这些地址，认为资金安全。
5. 资金转移：攻击者利用控制的私钥，单方面将资金转出，用户无法察觉。

附录：攻击面分析——为何 xpub 替换是多签特有的风险？

单签钱包是否存在 xpub 替换攻击？

答案：否。

在单签钱包结构中（如 BIP32/BIP39 衍生的标准钱包）：

• 钱包只依赖一个 xpub，并且这个 xpub 是从用户私钥派生而来；
• Coldcard、Trezor 等硬件钱包会自动根据本地 seed 派生地址，无需输入外部 xpub；
• 用户可以通过设备显示屏确认“这是我派生出来的地址”，不存在外部注入路径。

因此：xpub 替换在单签钱包中不存在攻击面，攻击路径被封死。

---

多签钱包为什么引入了 xpub 攻击面？

多签钱包（如 2-of-3、3-of-5）需要以下信息来生成地址：

1. 所有参与者的 xpub；
2. 公钥排序规则（如 BIP67）；
3. 多签脚本模板（如 OP_2 OP_3 OP_CHECKMULTISIG）；
4. 每个 key 的派生路径（如 m/48'/0'/0'/2'/0/1）；

这就意味着，用户必须信任这些输入的 xpub 是来自真正的签名方。如果攻击者悄悄将其中某一份换成自己控制的 xpub，那他就自动成为地址共管人，甚至是单签人。

Coldcard 攻击案例回顾：

• 用户通过 PSBT 模板或 JSON 导入多签配置；
• 攻击者在其中替换了某一参与者的 xpub；
• Coldcard 在旧版本中未提示或验证该替换；
• 用户生成地址、发送资金，攻击者即可随时提取。

---

攻击面比较表

• 单签钱包
• 不接收外部 xpub，派生路径完全由设备掌控；
• 地址来源明确、签名单一；

• xpub 替换攻击无效。

• 多签钱包

• 依赖多个外部 xpub 合成结构；
• 用户很难手动验证每一条 xpub 与 fingerprint；
• xpub 替换为高危攻击点。

---

Taproot 是否规避了 xpub 替换问题？

部分规避，但引入了新的验证难题。

Taproot + MuSig2 等结构通过将多个 pubkey 合成为一个点：

P = H(P1 + P2 + P3)

这确实可以隐藏合约结构，提升隐私，但也导致：

• 用户无法从地址还原参与者是谁；
• 如果其中一个公钥被攻击者替换，生成的地址仍然合法；
• 用户在链上看不到任何异常，但攻击者已取得合约控制权。

因此：Taproot 并未从根本上消除 xpub 替换的攻击面，反而因为其不可还原性使得攻击更加隐蔽。

---

总结

多签钱包之所以引入新的攻击面，不是因为它“更复杂”，而是因为它必须信任外部结构。一旦你的钱包要“与他人协作生成地址”，你就必须验证“这些人是谁”、“这些地址是怎么来的”——这就是攻击的入口。

单签保护的是私钥，
多签则要求你保护你的伙伴。

The developers, Hanger 13, along with the publisher, 2K Games, have announced that Mafia: The Old Country, a third-person action adventure game, will be releasing on both PC (Steam) and consoles on the 8th of August 2025, and with it they've released a new gameplay trailer.

::youtube{#lVhXaoX25AE}

They've also release a 7 minute long developer diary that showcases the game in a more in-depth look at it. It's worth noting that the game isn't an open-world game, but rather a linear one.

Colors as a fun and useful identifier

Nostr apps often use totally random colors for their default avatars, profiles names in chat bubbles, etc... That's a missed opportunity. Why don't we just we just derive a color from the npub and use that instead, interoperably across apps?

It gives us a fun and visual extra point of recognition, often without having to add anything extra to the UIs.

The only problem is that we cannot just allow for any color. The colors should be readable as text in Light and Dark modes and gray-scales should be avoided too.

This is the goal: Luckily, there's a super simple solution.
(which was used to derive the colors above)

Deriving the Colors

You can find the simple spec here: nostr: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

TLDR: 1. Convert HEX pubkey to Int 2. Calculate the Hue value: Int % 360 3. Set Saturation to 90 for Hues between 216 and 273, use 80 for the rest 4. Set Brightness to 65 for Hues between 32 and 212, use 85 for the rest

Convert HSB color to whatever format you need. Done.

Easy & Fun to integrate!

สวัสดีค่ะเพื่อนๆ นักเทรดที่น่ารักทุกคน! 💕 Lina Engword กลับมาพร้อมกับการวิเคราะห์ BTCUSDT.P แบบเจาะลึกเพื่อเตรียมพร้อมสำหรับเทรดวันนี้ค่ะ! 🚀

วันนี้ 12 พฤษภาคม 2568 เวลา 08.15น. ราคา BTCUSDT.P อยู่ที่ 104,642.8 USDT ค่ะ โดยมี Previous Weekly High (PWH) อยู่ที่ 104,967.8 Previous Weekly Low (PWL) ที่ 93,338 ค่ะ

✨ ภาพรวมตลาดวันนี้ ✨

จากการวิเคราะห์ด้วยเครื่องมือคู่ใจของเรา ทั้ง SMC/ICT (Demand/Supply Zone, Order Block, Liquidity), EMA 50/200, Trend Strength, Money Flow, Chart/Price Pattern, Premium/Discount Zone, Trend line, Fibonacci, Elliott Wave และ Dow Theory ใน Timeframe ตั้งแต่ 15m ไปจนถึง Week! 📊 เราพบว่าภาพใหญ่ของ BTCUSDT.P ยังคงอยู่ในแนวโน้มขาขึ้นที่แข็งแกร่งมากๆ ค่ะ 👍 โดยเฉพาะใน Timeframe Day และ Week ที่สัญญาณทุกอย่างสนับสนุนทิศทางขาขึ้นอย่างชัดเจน Money Flow ยังไหลเข้าอย่างต่อเนื่อง และเราเห็นโครงสร้างตลาดแบบ Dow Theory ที่ยก High ยก Low ขึ้นไปเรื่อยๆ ค่ะ

อย่างไรก็ตาม... ใน Timeframe สั้นๆ อย่าง 15m และ 1H เริ่มเห็นสัญญาณของการชะลอตัวและการพักฐานบ้างแล้วค่ะ 📉 อาจมีการสร้าง Buyside และ Sellside Liquidity รอให้ราคาไปกวาดก่อนที่จะเลือกทางใดทางหนึ่ง ซึ่งเป็นเรื่องปกติของการเดินทางของ Smart Money ค่ะ

⚡ เปรียบเทียบแนวโน้มแต่ละ Timeframe ⚡

🪙 แนวโน้มตรงกัน Timeframe 4H, Day, Week ส่วนใหญ่ชี้ไปทาง "ขาขึ้น" ค่ะ ทุกเครื่องมือสนับสนุนแนวโน้มนี้อย่างแข็งแกร่ง 💪 เป้าหมายต่อไปคือการไปทดสอบ PWH และ High เดิม เพื่อสร้าง All-Time High ใหม่ค่ะ! 🪙 แนวโน้มต่างกัน Timeframe 15m, 1H ยังค่อนข้าง "Sideways" หรือ "Sideways Down เล็กน้อย" ค่ะ มีการบีบตัวของราคาและอาจมีการพักฐานสั้นๆ ซึ่งเป็นโอกาสในการหาจังหวะเข้า Long ที่ราคาดีขึ้นค่ะ

💡 วิธีคิดแบบ Market Slayer 💡

เมื่อแนวโน้มใหญ่เป็นขาขึ้นที่แข็งแกร่ง เราจะเน้นหาจังหวะเข้า Long เป็นหลักค่ะ การย่อตัวลงมาในระยะสั้นคือโอกาสของเราในการเก็บของ! 🛍️ เราจะใช้หลักการ SMC/ICT หาโซน Demand หรือ Order Block ที่ Smart Money อาจจะเข้ามาดันราคาขึ้น และรอสัญญาณ Price Action ยืนยันการกลับตัวค่ะ

สรุปแนวโน้มวันนี้:

🪙 ระยะสั้น: Sideways to Sideways Down (โอกาส 55%) ↔️↘️ 🪙 ระยะกลาง: ขาขึ้น (โอกาส 70%) ↗️ 🪙 ระยะยาว: ขาขึ้น (โอกาส 85%) 🚀 🪙 วันนี้: มีโอกาสย่อตัวเล็กน้อยก่อนจะมีแรงซื้อกลับเข้ามาเพื่อไปทดสอบ PWH (โอกาส Sideways Down เล็กน้อย สลับกับ Sideways Up: 60%) 🎢

🗓️ Daily Trade Setup ประจำวันนี้ 🗓️

นี่คือตัวอย่าง Setup ที่ Lina เตรียมไว้ให้พิจารณาค่ะ (เน้นย้ำว่าเป็นเพียงแนวทาง ไม่ใช่คำแนะนำลงทุนนะคะ)

1️⃣ ตัวอย่างที่ 1: รอรับที่โซน Demand (ปลอดภัย, รอยืนยัน)

🪙 Enter: รอราคาย่อตัวลงมาในโซน Demand Zone หรือ Bullish Order Block ที่น่าสนใจใน TF 1H/4H (ดูจากกราฟประกอบนะคะ) และเกิดสัญญาณ Bullish Price Action ที่ชัดเจน เช่น แท่งเทียนกลืนกิน (Engulfing) หรือ Hammer 🪙 TP: บริเวณ PWH 104,967.8 หรือ Buyside Liquidity ถัดไป 🎯 🪙 SL: ใต้ Low ที่เกิดก่อนสัญญาณกลับตัวเล็กน้อย หรือใต้ Demand Zone ที่เข้า 🛡️ 🪙 RRR: ประมาณ 1:2.5 ขึ้นไป ✨ 🪙 อธิบาย: Setup นี้เราจะใจเย็นๆ รอให้ราคาลงมาในโซนที่มีโอกาสเจอแรงซื้อเยอะๆ ตามหลัก SMC/ICT แล้วค่อยเข้า เพื่อให้ได้ราคาที่ดีและความเสี่ยงต่ำค่ะ ต้องรอสัญญาณ Price Action ยืนยันก่อนนะคะ ✍️

2️⃣ ตัวอย่างที่ 2: Follow Breakout (สายบู๊, รับความเสี่ยงได้)

🪙 Enter: เข้า Long ทันทีเมื่อราคาสามารถ Breakout เหนือ High ล่าสุดใน TF 15m หรือ 1H พร้อม Volume ที่เพิ่มขึ้นอย่างมีนัยสำคัญ 🔥 🪙 TP: บริเวณ PWH 104,967.8 หรือ Buyside Liquidity ถัดไป 🚀 🪙 SL: ใต้ High ก่อนหน้าที่ถูก Breakout เล็กน้อย 🚧 🪙 RRR: ประมาณ 1:3 ขึ้นไป ✨ 🪙 อธิบาย: Setup นี้เหมาะกับคนที่อยากเข้าไวเมื่อเห็นโมเมนตัมแรงๆ ค่ะ เราจะเข้าเมื่อราคา Breakout แนวต้านระยะสั้นพร้อม Volume เป็นสัญญาณว่าแรงซื้อกำลังมาค่ะ เข้าได้เลยด้วยการตั้ง Limit Order หรือ Market Order เมื่อเห็นการ Breakout ที่ชัดเจนค่ะ 💨

3️⃣ ตัวอย่างที่ 3: พิจารณา Short สั้นๆ ในโซน Premium (สวนเทรนด์หลัก, ความเสี่ยงสูง)

🪙 Enter: หากราคาขึ้นไปในโซน Premium ใน TF 15m หรือ 1H และเกิดสัญญาณ Bearish Price Action ที่ชัดเจน เช่น แท่งเทียน Shooting Star หรือ Bearish Engulfing บริเวณ Supply Zone หรือ Bearish Order Block 🐻 🪙 TP: พิจารณาแนวรับถัดไป หรือ Sellside Liquidity ใน TF เดียวกัน 🎯 🪙 SL: เหนือ High ของสัญญาณ Bearish Price Action เล็กน้อย 💀 🪙 RRR: ประมาณ 1:1.5 ขึ้นไป (เน้นย้ำว่าเป็นการเทรดสวนเทรนด์หลัก ควรใช้ RRR ต่ำและบริหารขนาด Lot อย่างเข้มงวด!) 🪙 อธิบาย: Setup นี้สำหรับคนที่เห็นโอกาสในการทำกำไรจากการย่อตัวระยะสั้นค่ะ เราจะเข้า Short เมื่อเห็นสัญญาณว่าราคาอาจจะมีการพักฐานในโซนที่ถือว่า "แพง" ในกรอบสั้นๆ ค่ะ ต้องตั้ง Stop Loss ใกล้มากๆ และจับตาดูใกล้ชิดนะคะ 🚨

⚠️ Disclaimer: การวิเคราะห์นี้เป็นเพียงความคิดเห็นส่วนตัวของ Lina เท่านั้น ไม่ถือเป็นคำแนะนำในการลงทุนนะคะ การลงทุนมีความเสี่ยง ผู้ลงทุนควรศึกษาข้อมูลเพิ่มเติมและตัดสินใจด้วยความรอบคอบค่ะ 🙏

"Misterija Satoši - Poreklo bitkoina" je francuski dokumentarno-animirani serijal koji dešifruje unutrašnje funkcionisanje bitkoin revolucije, dok istražuje identitet njenog tvorca.

Prvu decentralizovanu i pouzdanu kriptovalutu – bitkoin, osnovao je Satoši Nakamoto 3. januara 2009. godine. On je nestao 2011. i od tada ostaje anoniman, a njegov identitet je predmet svakakvih spekulacija. Tokom poslednjih 12 godina, vrednost bitkoina je porasla sa 0,001 na 69.000 dolara. Svi, od vlada do velikih korporacija, zainteresovali su se za Satošijev izum. Ko je Satoši Nakamoto? Kako je njegov izum postao toliko popularan? Šta nam bitkoin govori o svetu u kome živimo?

Ovaj serijal se prikazivao na Radio-televiziji Srbije (RTS 3) u sklopu novogodišnjeg muzičkog i filmskog programa 2022/2023. godine.

Planting new sod sounds simple. Lay it down, water it, done. Nah. That’s just half the story. Mess up the basics, and your lawn turns patchy or yellow within days. Below are some key mistakes folks make – most don’t even realise it till the grass starts dying. Avoid these, or all that Bermuda grass, Zoysia, or St. Augustine sod you paid for? Wasted.

Not Watering Enough (Or Too Much)

Watering is weirdly tricky. Some think you flood it, some sprinkle it once and call it good. Both? Wrong.

New sod needs moisture constantly for the first few weeks. Not just surface wet, but soaked down to where roots gonna grow. If it dries out, even a day or two, them roots shrink back. That leads to shrinkage gaps, brown edges, even whole squares drying up.

Now the flip side? Overwatering. It ain’t about turning your lawn into a swamp. Too much water drowns roots, they rot, and fungus loves soggy grass. Mushrooms pop up, blades turn pale. And once fungus spreads, getting it out’s a pain. Set a timer. Early morning’s best. Avoid watering at night unless you wanna feed mold.

Also, different sod types need different water levels. Zoysia sod ain’t thirsty like St. Augustine. Use your hand – if it feels squishy, back off. If dry and crumbly, bump it up.

Installing Sod On Bad Soil

Throwing new sod on junk dirt is asking for trouble. Sod’s just skin. If the body (soil) under it’s trash, it won’t stick.

First off, you gotta check the soil pH. Anything too acidic or way too alkaline? Sod roots won’t even grow. You can get soil test kits at garden stores or online, pretty cheap. If the pH ain’t right, use lime or sulfur depending what side you need to fix.

Second, compacted soil is death for sod. If the ground’s hard like a sidewalk, roots can’t go down. You need to aerate or till the soil before laying sod. Mix in some compost or sand depending on drainage needs. Make it loose but not fluffy.

Last part? Level the area. Don’t leave holes or slopes. Uneven spots collect water, or the sod don’t touch dirt properly. When air pockets form under the sod, roots dry out fast.

Skipping Starter Fertilizer

You ever tried starting a car with no fuel? That’s your sod without a starter fertilizer. It’s gotta eat.

New sod needs phosphorus-heavy fertilizer to encourage root growth. Problem is, most people either skip it, or throw on the wrong one. A high-nitrogen fertilizer will just make it look green for a week, but the roots? Weak and lazy.

Use something like 10-10-10 or 15-15-15 starter blends. Look for one that’s labeled for new sod or turf establishment. Apply it right before or during laying the sod. Water it in so it doesn’t just sit there on top.

Also, don’t keep feeding every few days thinking more is better. Too much burns the grass. After first application, wait at least 3–4 weeks before reapplying anything. Stick to what the sod variety needs – Bermuda feeds different than Fescue.

If you’re in Texas or southern regions, the soil’s usually nutrient-poor, especially in clay zones. Don’t ignore that. Local extension offices often got free guides for your area.

Mowing Too Soon (or Way Too Late)

Mowing sounds harmless. Grass too tall? Cut it. Simple, right? Not really.

Cut too early? You slice off the tops before roots even grab the soil. That’ll rip the sod clean out. Like tearing bandages off fresh scabs. Usually, wait 10–14 days after laying sod before mowing. Always check if the sod’s rooted. Tug on a corner. If it lifts? Wait.

Other side of the coin – waiting forever. If your new sod grows tall and thick, it blocks sunlight from reaching the base. That leads to thinning, disease, even weeds moving in. Keep it under control.

Big tip – never cut more than one-third of the grass height in one mow. It shocks the sod, stunts growth. And dull mower blades? Slice and tear instead of clean cuts. That opens wounds for pests and fungal infections.

If it’s St. Augustine grass, you’ll mow it higher – around 3.5 inches. Zoysia or Bermuda grass? Lower, closer to 1.5 or 2 inches. Know your grass type or risk killing it one mow at a time.

Not Rolling the Sod After Install

This one? Almost always skipped. And it kills your sod quietly.

When sod’s not rolled, air gaps stay between the grass and dirt. You won’t see it, but the roots? They ain't touching soil good. No contact = no growth. That’s how sod turns yellow even when you watering perfect.

A lawn roller, filled with water, presses sod down evenly. It pushes the roots into soil and gets rid of air pockets. Do it once right after laying sod. If you miss this step, that nice new lawn can turn patchy in under a week.

Don’t worry about crushing it – the roller’s weight is perfect. You ain't smashing it like concrete. Just a good firm press. If you don't have a roller? Rent one from local garden centers, or even Home Depot. Cheap insurance for hundreds of bucks worth of new sod.

Another problem from not rolling: uneven lawn. It looks bumpy, grows uneven, and mowing becomes a chore. Roller fixes that early. Less headache later.

Has the architect Greg Chasen considered it when rebuilding the house just one year before the catastrophe? Apparently not! Another of his projects was featured on the Value of Architecture as properties with design integrity.

This is a super interesting subject. The historic character, livability, and modern disaster-resistance is a triangle where you often have to pick just one or two, which leads to some tough decisions that have major impacts on families and communities. Like one of the things he mentions is that the architect completely eliminated plants from the property. That's great for fire resistance, but not so great for other things if the entire town decides to go the same route (which he does bring up later in the video). I don't think there's any objectively right answer, but definitely lots of good (and important) discussion points to be had.

ย้อนกลับไปในยุคโบราณ ไม่ว่าชนเผ่าชาวทุ่งหญ้าในยูเรเชีย ชาวอินเดียตอนเหนือ หรือเผ่าทะเลทรายแถบตะวันออกกลาง ล้วนมีวัฒนธรรมที่เกี่ยวข้องกับนมวัว นมจามรี นมแพะ และทุกชนิดก็ลงเอยที่การเอานมไปแปรรูปเป็น “เนย” ทั้งเนยแบบสด เนยหมัก

เนยที่เก่าแก่ที่สุดเท่าที่มีบันทึก คือ “Bog Butter” จากไอร์แลนด์ ไม่ใช่ blockbuster นะ ฮาๆๆๆ “Bog Butter” เป็นเนยที่ถูกฝังไว้ในบึงพรุ (bog) ของไอร์แลนด์และสก็อตแลนด์ มาหลายร้อยถึงหลายพันปี โดยไม่มีการเน่าเสีย! เพราะบึงพรุมีสภาพแวดล้อมที่เป็นกรด ไม่มีออกซิเจน และเย็น จึงเป็นสภาวะที่เหมาะกับการถนอมอาหารแบบธรรมชาติสุด ๆ

มีหลักฐานการค้นพบ Bog Butter อายุราว 3,000 ปี (ยุคเหล็กตอนต้น) ในหลายพื้นที่ของไอร์แลนด์ เช่น County Offaly, County Cavan และ County Fermanagh ลักษณะของ Bog Butter ที่ขุดพบ บางก้อนยังอยู่ในสภาพดี มีสีเหลืองทอง เนื้อเนียน และยังมีกลิ่นคล้ายชีสที่สุกมาก ๆ ภาชนะที่ใช้ใส่เนยมักเป็นถังไม้ กล่องไม้โอ๊ค หรือแม้แต่หนังสัตว์ผูกไว้แน่น ๆ

นักโบราณคดีเชื่อว่า Bog Butter คือเนยจากนมสัตว์ (นมวัวหรือนมแพะ) ที่อาจผ่านการหมักหรือเคี่ยวแล้วก่อนนำไปฝัง เพื่อถนอมไว้กินในฤดูหนาวหรือในปีที่น้ำนมขาดแคลน บางทฤษฎีก็เสนอว่ามีการฝังเนยเพื่อเหตุผลทางพิธีกรรม หรือใช้เป็น “ทรัพย์สิน” ที่ฝากไว้กับแผ่นดินเพื่อแสดงความมั่งคั่ง

ที่น่าทึ่งก็คือนี่เป็นการถนอมเนยที่ไม่ใช้ความร้อน ไม่ใช้เกลือ และไม่ใช้น้ำแข็ง แต่กลับอยู่ได้นานเป็นพันปี เพราะอาศัยสภาพแวดล้อมที่เข้าใจธรรมชาติสุด ๆ มีข้อมูลว่าเขามีการชิม Bog Butter ที่ขุดขึ้นมาด้วยนะ มีคำบรรยายไว้ว่า “มันมีกลิ่นชีสเข้มข้น กลิ่นดินและควันบาง ๆ เหมือนกินประวัติศาสตร์” 5555

เนยแท้ (butter) ก็คือน้ำนมที่ถูกแยกเอาไขมันออกมาด้วยการตี (churning) โดยอาศัยแรงมือหรือแรงกล เครื่องตีจะรวมเม็ดไขมันเล็ก ๆ จากครีมนมให้จับตัวกันกลายเป็นก้อนเนย แล้วแยกเอาน้ำบัตเตอร์มิลค์ออกไป คงเหลือไว้แค่ไขมันเนยที่หอม มัน และอุดมไปด้วยวิตามิน A, D, E, K ในรูปที่ดูดซึมง่าย เพราะละลายในไขมัน

องค์ประกอบหลักที่อยู่ในเนยจะมี 3 ส่วนใหญ่ๆเรียกแบบเหมารวมคือ

1 ไขมันนม/ไขมันเนย หรือ butter oil 2 เนื้อนม หรือ solid milk 3 ส่วนที่เป็นของเหลวต่างๆ หรือ moisture คือมันไม่เจาะจงว่าน้ำนึกออกไหมครับ นมมาจากธรรมชาติไม่ได้มาจากการผสมสัดส่วน ดังนั้นการจะมุ่งว่าเป็นน้ำเลยจึงไม่ใช่เสียทีเดียว ภาษาไทยเราจึงมักแปลไว้ว่าส่วนที่เป็นความชื้น *ตรงนี้มีหมายเหตุไว้นิดหน่อยครับว่า เจ้าไขมันเนยนี่ เราอาจะเจอภาษาอังกฤษหลายคำนะครับ เช่น butterfat, butter oil, fat milk ตรงนี้ให้เข้าไจไว้ว่ามันหมายถึงสิ่งเดียวกันนั่นหละครับ

สิ่งสำคัญในการทำเนยคือ ไขมันจากนมนั่นเอง นมส่วนที่ไขมันสูงนั้นเราเรียกว่า ครีม นึกภาพเป็นการ์ตูนง่ายๆได้ว่า เราช้อนเเอาเฉพาะส่วนที่เป็นครีมนั่นแหละ แล้วเอามาทำมาทำเป็นเนย ปล่อยทิ้งส่วนของนมที่ไม่มีไขมันเอาไว้ทำอย่างอื่น (มันคือนมพร่องมันเนย คุ้นมะ แต่จริงๆเค้าไม่ได้เอาส่วนนี้มาขายเป็นนมให้เราหรอกนะครับ โรงงานแต่ละโรงจะตั้งไลน์ผลิตเพื่อสินค้าที่ดีที่สุดของตัวเอิง จะไม่จับฉ่ายเอาเศษเดนมาทำของขายให้เรา)

การเตรียมครีมก่อนจะเข้าสู่การผลิตเนยก็จะมีหลากหลายรูปแบบยกตัวอย่างเช่น

-Sour cream butter หรือ Cultured butter เป็นเนยทำจากครีมที่ผ่านการพาสเจอไรส์(ฆ่าเชื้อ) แล้วหมักด้วยจุลินทรีย์แลคติกหรือไม่ก็แลคโตบาซิลัส ทำให้มีกลิ่นและรสที่ดี -Neutralized sour cream butter เป็นเนยที่ได้จากครีมที่หมักด้วยจุลินทรีย์แล้วเอาไปทำเป็นกลางด้วย โซเดียมไบคาบอเนต โซเดียมคาร์บอเนต แคลเซียมไฮดรอกไซด์ รวมกับ แมกนีเซียมออกไซด์ หรือ แมกนีเซียมไฮดรอกไซด์ -Sweet cream butter เป็นเนยที่ทำจากครีมที่ผ่านการพาสเจอไรส์(ฆ่าเชื้อ) แต่ไม่มีการหมักบ่ม คือนำไปปั่นทำเนยเลย เนยชนิดนี้จะมีกลิ่นคล้ายครีมถ้ายี่ห้อนั้นๆไม่ได้เติมกลิ่นลงไปเพิ่มนะครับ รสชาติจะออกไปทางหวานนิดๆ เพราะมีน้ำตาลธรรมชาติในนมอยู่เนื่องจากไม่ได้ผ่านการหมัก แต่ไม่ต้องกังวลเพราะไม่ถึงกับหวานเวอร์ มันจะแค่หวานกว่าเนยชนิด Cultured butter แค่นั้น -Semi-culture butter หรือ European-style butter หรือ Fresh cream butter เป็นเนยที่ได้จากครีมที่ไม่ได้ผ่านการหมัก คือทำแบบเดียวกับ Sweet cream butter แต่ขั้นตอนสุดท้ายมีการเติมกลิ่นรสและกรดแลคติก ที่ได้จากนมหมักจุลินทรีย์แล้วเอาไปผ่านกระบวนการ อัลตร้าฟิลเทรชัน (Ultrafiltration) เพื่อให้เข้มข้นขึ้น -Raw butter cream เป็นเนยที่ผลิตจากน้ำนมดิบ ไม่ผ่านการพาสเจอไรส์(ฆ่าเชื้อ) คือจัดไปดิบๆเลย นมดิบสดๆมาแยกครีมแล้วปั่นทำเนยเลยไม่มีการเติมอะไรทั้งสิ้น คุณภาพของเนยชนิดนี้จะแปรผันตามคุณภาพของน้ำนมดิบและความเชี่ยวชาญของผู้ที่ผลิตเนย อายุของเนยชนิดนี้จะสั้นแค่ประมาณ 7-10วันเท่านั้นเพราะทุกอย่างมันสดจริงๆ

เห็นไหมครับว่า เนยแต่ละยี่ห้อเขาก็จะมีกรรมวิธีผลิตเนยในรูปแบบที่ต่างกันไป เนยบ่มก็จะมีกลิ่นหอมรสที่หนักแน่นปริมาณไขมันเนยและความชื้นน้อยกว่าเนยแบบ sweet cream ส่วนเจ้าเนย sweet cream เองก็เน้นที่ความสดความเฟรช กลิ่นเบาๆครีมๆมีความหวานหลงเหลืออยู่และมีราคาถูกกว่า ส่วนตัว raw butter ก็จะออกไปทางงานคราฟท์ คลาสสิค

เนย Home made ทำยังไง เนยแบบที่เราทำกินเองได้ในบ้านก็เป็นแบบ sweet cream butter หรือ เนยที่ได้จากครีมสดไม่ผ่านการหมักอะไรเลย เว้นแต่เติมเกลือเพื่อให้เป็นเนยเค็ม (จริงๆเติมเกลือเพื่อช่วยยืดอายุเนยได้อีกระยะหนึ่งด้วยนะ เป็นแทคติก) ปกติวิธีการทำเนย เขาจะเอาครีมเข้าถังปั่น เพื่อให้ครีมเกิดการแยกก้อนเนยเป็น grain (เขาเรียกว่า butter granule/butter curds) กับ หางเนย (butter milk) ซึ่งเป็นของเหลวที่ประกอบไปด้วยเนื้อนมไม่รวมมันเนยแล้วก็น้ำ แล้วเขาก็จะเอาก้อนเนยนี่แหละไปล้างน้ำเย็นเอากลิ่นหืนๆและรสประหลาดๆออกไป กำจัดความชื้นแล้วจบกระบวนการตีๆตบๆขึ้นรูปเนยก้อนต่อไป

ตรงนี้ถ้าจะให้เห็นภาพขึ้น ใครทำขนมเองคงรู้ดี เวลาที่เราตีวิปครีมมากเกินไป มันจะจับก้อนและแยกชั้น เป็นก้อนๆกับเหลวๆ ก้อนๆก็คือเนื้อเนย ไอ้เหลวๆก็คือ butter milk

การทำ เนยสด homemade fresh butter กินเองที่บ้านเราก็ทำได้ด้วยการจำลองถังปั่นด้วยเครื่องตีขนม จะเป็นแบบตีมือหรือแบบเครื่องก็ได้ครับ หรืออยากจะแอดวานซ์เอาใส่ขวดน้ำแล้วเขย่าก็ได้เหมือนกันนะครับ เมื่อถึงระยะเวลานึงครีมก็จะแยกตัวเป็นเนย กับ butter milk

ลองดูที่ผมเคยทำไว้ในคลิปนี้ได้ครับ https://youtu.be/bzo7V9n2cxc?si=0ZvcAT1H-6h1ZmUh

ไขมันในเนยมีองค์ประกอบพิเศษที่ไม่ค่อยถูกพูดถึงเท่าไรนัก นั่นคือกรดไขมันสายสั้นอย่าง butyric acid ซึ่งมีชื่อมาจากคำว่า “butter” เลย เพราะมันมีบทบาทในลำไส้ โดยเฉพาะการเป็นอาหารของเซลล์เยื่อบุลำไส้ใหญ่ ช่วยลดอาการอักเสบในระบบทางเดินอาหาร

สัดส่วนไขมันในเนยส่วนใหญ่จะเป็น ไขมันอิ่มตัว (SFA) ราว 50-65%, ไขมันไม่อิ่มตัวเชิงเดี่ยว (MUFA) ประมาณ 25-30% และไขมันไม่อิ่มตัวเชิงซ้อน (PUFA) ราว 2-5% เท่านั้น แต่ในส่วนของ PUFA นั้นมีความพิเศษเล็กน้อย ที่จะคุยในน้ำมันตัวต่อไปครับ

ในโลกตะวันตกโดยเฉพาะฝรั่งเศส อิตาลี และยุโรปตอนเหนือ เนยคือพระเอกประจำห้องครัว ใช้ผัด ใช้อบ ใช้ทาขนมปัง เป็นของคู่กับวัฒนธรรมการกินแบบ traditional food ซึ่งแตกต่างจากยุคอุตสาหกรรมที่ผลักให้เนยแท้หลบมุม แล้วเอา margarine หรือ shortening ซึ่งเต็มไปด้วยไขมันแปรรูปมาแทน ด้วยการโฆษณาแบบ fiat food คล้ายกับเรื่องที่เฮียเคยพูดบ่อย ๆ นั่นแหละ

ในประเทศไทยเราเองก็มีเนยวัวใช้ในอาหารบางชนิด โดยเฉพาะขนมอบ ขนมฝรั่งโบราณ หรือขนมเนยสดสไตล์ยุโรปที่เข้ามาสมัยรัชกาลที่ 5 แต่โดยรวมคนไทยไม่คุ้นเคยกับเนยในครัวร้อนมากนัก เพราะวัฒนธรรมอาหารเรามักใช้ไขมันจากสัตว์ท้องถิ่นมากกว่า เช่น น้ำมันหมู ไขมันวัว หรือน้ำมันจากไก่และเป็ด

การใช้เนยจึงเป็นเหมือนการสื่อสารข้ามวัฒนธรรม เป็นของเรียบง่ายที่เล่าเรื่องความรู้ของมนุษย์กับธรรมชาติได้อย่างลึกซึ้ง ยิ่งเมื่อเรากลับมานึกถึงภูมิปัญญาเดิม ๆ ก็จะเห็นว่า เนยไม่ได้แค่ให้พลังงาน แต่มันคือไขมันที่พาคุณค่าสารอาหารซึมลึกเข้าไปถึงทุกเนื้อเยื่อ และพาเราเดินทางกลับไปสู่วิถีของอาหารจริง (real food) อย่างสง่างามเลยล่ะ

มาถึงตรงนี้สามารถสรุปง่ายๆจนเห็นภาพโครงสร้างหลักของเนยแล้วใช่ไหมครับว่า เนย = ไขมัน butter oil + เนื้อนม solid milk + ของเหลวอื่นๆ

หลังจากนี้เราจะมาคุยอีกผลผลิตนึง ที่ทำจากเนยครับ จำสมการข้างบนไว้ให้ดีครับ

สำหรับคนที่เพิ่งเริ่มเข้าวงการเนย ตัวนี้เป็น starter ที่ดีครับ วัวกินหญ้า https://s.shopee.co.th/30bQI86d1Q

By John "Potato Jack" LeFebvre

The cold, cold air of the morning tickled the nose of Christmas Goat as he lay quietly in bed, just waking up.

The cold air of the morning whispered in the ear of Christmas Goat; it whispered:- icicle secrets!

The moon, round and white, with swirling breezes, made Christmas Goat’s bedroom look like milk.

That reminded Christmas Goat – "It’s time to milk my cows!"

Christmas Goat peeled away the bed sheet and four blankets which kept him warm at night, and sitting on the edge of the bed he put on his gumboots.

He walked out of his bedroom and bumped into a wall because he was still a bit tired. He stood out on his front verandah and looked at the farm. "Come on you cows! It’s time for milking!!" he yelled.

The cows made a quiet line and walked, one behind the other, off to the milking sheds…

..all except for two cows who Christmas Goat had to throw a few potatoes at: then they got moving.

In the shed, the moos filled the air. Christmas Goat made his way past steaming cow flops carrying a bucket and a small stool.

He sat down next to Harry the cow.

"Ready for milking?", he asked.

"Yes, but you should have given me a girls name," said the cow.

"Oh well", said Christmas Goat, "here we go".

"Okay" said the cow, so Christmas Goat grabbed her teats with both hands and made the squirty milk goosh into the bucket.

"How are the kids?" asked Christmas Goat.

"Oh not bad," said Harry. "Bruce is in school and Terry’s just learning to moo."

"Yes, they’re good cows," said Christmas Goat.

"They are" said Harry. "I just wish you hadn’t given them boy’s names."

"Oh well," said Christmas Goat.

Christmas Goat milked all the cows one by one, and then he said to himself, "I think I’ll make myself a hot coffee". Back inside, he turned on the radio, and stirred the coffee powder into the hot water. Yum, he thought, pouring the cow’s milk on top. "Yum Yum Yum".

Christmas Goat drank all of this hot coffee and then made toast. A bird landed on his window sill and said "tweet tweet, tweet tweet ¯ ".

"Tweet tweet " said Christmas Goat".

The telephone rang four times and Christmas Goat picked it up.

"Hello, this is Christmas Goat?"

"Hello Christmas Goat? I’ve been a good goat all year and can you tell me what I’m getting for Christmas?"

"Christmas is tomorrow," said Christmas Goat.

"I know, but … - please tell me, just this once ..!"

"All right little goatgirl, what’s your name?"

"My name is Brenda," said the little girlgoat.

"Let me look at my list here…" said Christmas Goat. "

"Hmmm…" He moved his papers around.

"Are you still there?" asked the little goatgirl.

"Aha!! Yes I’m still here. I’ve just found your name on the list Brenda, here it is. Let’s see, oooh!"

"What is it! Wot is it!"

"It’s a …." But then Christmas Goat stopped talking.

"Why have you stopped talking?" said Brenda, panicking.

"Now, now," said Christmas Goat, "I just remembered it’s a secret."

"A secret!" said Brenda.

"Yes," said ChristmasGoat. "It has to be a surprise."

"No! Tell me now!" said Brenda.

Christmas Goat made a whistling sound with his lips. And then he hung up the phone.

By hanging up the phone like that, Christmas Goat felt a bit rude. But Brenda was rude first, he thought. Meanwhile, Brenda was at home, crying.

Christmas Goat thought , " I better go to see Brenda and explain to her why Christmas has to be a surprise." He went to the garage, oiled the wheels of his cart, and tied up a couple of humans.

"Good humans!" he said as they pulled him out of the garage down the street. The two people pulled the cart steadily along, steam pluming their foreheads.

It was a cold morning, and yet ChristmasGoat knew the earth was a round huge ball that spun on it’s axis while being invisibly dragged around a gigantic non stop fire- "the sun" – and that soon, because of this axis-spin, his part of the world would be receiving increasingly direct sun rays and it would get warm, so he didn’t worry . He explained this to the two men pulling his cart as it rolled through the suburbs, but they just blinked.

After a while, they arrived at Brenda’s house, and Christmas Goat tied the two men to a post and gave them a bottle of beer. Christmas Goat walked up the driveway, up the stairs, and went "knock kn0ck knock". A goat came to the door.

"Hallo Brenda?"

"No I’m Brenda’s brother. Brenda’s in her room, crying."

"Rats," said Christmas Goat.

There was Brenda, covered in tears, sitting on her carpet. Christmas Goat came in and sat down.

"Why did you make me sad?" said the little goatgirl.

"Well," said Christmas Goat, "I really didn’t want to do that. Every year, thousands of little goats ask me ‘what am I getting for Christmas,’ and every time I have to say to them, ‘you’ll see on Christmas day.’ And I Have to say this, I can’t say anything else, that’s just the way Christmas is."

"Come on, you must be able to tell me something a little deeper than (sniff) that."

Oh," said Christmas Goat, "you want the Big Reality explanation.."

"Yes," said Brenda, pouting and looking up from hurt eyes.

"Well," said Christmas Goat, "think what the world would be like with no surprise."

"Why? What would the world be like without surprise?" asked Brenda.

"Utterly predicable, " said Christmas Goat.

"What does predickable mean?" asked Brenda.

"In this case, it means ‘always knowing what’s going to happen’," said Christmas Goat.

"That sounds great!" said Brenda.

"Not really," said ChristmasGoat. "Think about it. Every day you wake up, you know what to wear, you know what’s going to be for breakfast, you know what job you have to go to, you know when it starts, you know how to get there, you know what you will see on the way, you know when you will stop for lunch, you know when you will finish, you know what’s for dinner, by looking at the program, you know what’s on T.V that night, they tell you what the weather will be like tomorrow, you know that if you …"

"That sounds Great!!" butted in Brenda.

"Yeah it sounded great to humans once, too, when they ruled the world. Woops."

"What was that?" said Brenda.

"What was what?" asked Christmas Goat.

"That thing you said, " said Brenda.

"I can’t remember, " said Christmas Goat, although now the shoe was on the other hoof.

"Well I remember, " said Brenda. "It just shocked me, that’s all. You said ‘when humans ruled the world.’"

"You’re right," sighed Christmas Goat. "That’s what I said..

Maybe we can forget about it though?"

Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell… "

"ALL-RIGHT" said Christmas Goat, giving in. "Are you sure you want this dark knowledge?"

"Yes, I’m sure," said Brenda dribbling with excitement.

"Right, well once upon a time, the humans, like those two hitched up to the post outside drinking beer, were our masters. What they said, went."

"Boy," said Brenda.

"That’s right," continued Christmas Goat. "In fact they were the kings of the world. Us goats were treated horribly at times."

"What happened?" asked Brenda the little goatgirl.

"Those people became so set in their ways that they became stale. Nearly every effort at becoming the rulers made them and their lives boring. They thought they knew everything."

"People don’t know anything!" said Brenda.

"Not now they don’t," said Christmas Goat. "But they did in a distant past. Unfortunately they made the mistake of killing most surprises, and that’s when we snuck up them."

"Us goats?"

"Yep."

"And now we’re the kings and queens!" said Brenda gleefully.

"Of course," said Christmas Goat. "But we mustn’t let ourselves get trapped by prediction. That’s why I’m Christmas Goat. It’s my job to make sure surprise is still big in our lives, especially at this time of the year, Christmas." "Thankyou for telling me that true story," said Brenda. "I look forward to my surprise present tomorrow morning."

"That’s a good boy," said Christmas Goat.

"I’m a girl," said Brenda.

That night, Christmas Goat tied up his strongest humans who hauled and heaved his sleigh-cart all over the world through beautiful bright darkness. Kind Mummy and Daddy goats left a snack for Christmas Goat, and beer for the sweaty humans.

Christmas Goat and his team finished delivering the presents just in time.

"Good humans," he said, patting his helpers and switching on the T.V for them.

When Brenda woke up, there was a terrific colourful ping pong ball under her Christmas Tree.

"That is a surprise," smiled Brenda. "I’m a netballer!"

@ 8d34bd24:414be32b

What does it say about us that believers don’t listen as well as unbelievers? Let’s investigate some scripture verses and see what we can discover.

An Object Lesson:

Jesus warned His disciples several times that He would be killed and rise from the dead on the third day. Right after Jesus asked them who they thought He was and Peter replied that He was the Christ (Messiah), Jesus told them what would happen.

From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. (Matthew 16:21)

We know the disciples heard and understood what Jesus was saying because Peter immediately rebuked Jesus.

Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You.” But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.” (Matthew 16:22-23)

You’d think that Peter would have this moment locked in his mind after being rebuked so harshly for questioning Jesus’s prediction of what would happen.

A while later, Jesus again told His disciples what was about to happen.

And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men; and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day.” And they were deeply grieved. (Matthew 17:22-23)

They again heard what was said because they were “deeply grieved.” They didn’t like what they heard.

Then a third time, as they were approaching Jerusalem, He made certain they knew what was coming:

As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.” (Matthew 20:17-19)

The disciples should have known that Jesus’s crucifixion and death were not the end. He told them repeatedly that He would die and be raised from the dead on the third day. They should have been diligently waiting with expectation, but instead they immediately hid, gave up, and headed back to their old lives.

His female followers still cared enough to try to prepare Jesus’s body for burial, but even they did not expect Him to rise as He said.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.” (Matthew 28:5-7) {emphasis mine}

Even when the woman came and told the disciples that they had seen Jesus as He had said, none believed them, although Peter and John did have a glimmer of hope and went to look for themselves.

In contrast, the Pharisees, the very people who hated Jesus so much that they fought to have Him crucified, remembered Jesus’s statements.

Now on the next day, the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate, and said, “Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I am to rise again.’ Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them, “You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how.” And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone. (Matthew 27:62-66) {emphasis mine}

The Pharisees acted in response to Jesus’s claims. The disciples ignored or forgot Jesus’s claims.

KNOW:

How often do we ignore or forget Jesus’s promises? How often do we despair when we should hold tightly to the promises given to us in the Bible? Are there times that our opponents, unbelievers, are better at quoting the Bible back at us than we are at using the Bible to defend the truth and our faith?

but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence (1 Peter 3:15)

We need to know God’s word so we can “give an account for the hope that is in” us. First we need to read the whole Bible. We can’t know who God is, what He has done, and what He commands for us without knowing God’s word.

After we have gotten the big picture by reading through the Bible once, we need to really get to know it well. This not only includes reading the Bible continually, but also include memorizing key verses, so we can bring them to remembrance when we need them.

Some people can repeat a verse multiple times and just know it. Some of us have trouble memorizing things. We have to go to extraordinary measures to memorize God’s word. Some techniques I have used:

• WHITEBOARD APPROACH:

• Write the verse on the white board.

• Read out loud.

• Erase one word. (You can underline where the word is if that helps you remember that a word goes there)

• Read out loud saying verse including missing word.

• Continue erasing words, one at a time, saying the verse until all of the words are gone.

• I haven’t used it personally, but Verse Locker was recommended by another substacker and seems to use a similar technique.

• MUSICAL VERSES:

• Make up a tune and sing the verse or put the verse to a tune you already know.

• If you aren’t good at making up songs, there are sites that have verses to songs, but I haven’t used them personally other than a few from Awana years ago.

• FIRST LETTER:

• Write down the first letter of each word of the verse you want to memorize This gives hints and helps you not accidentally miss words.

• I’ve also made a necklace (it was supposed to be a bracelet, but the verse, 1 Peter 3:15 above, I picked was too long) made of beads with the letters of the words of the verse. By wearing it, you have a reminder to memorize and rememorize the verse till it sticks stronger.

• There are multiple apps that can help you memorize verses. 5 Best Bible Memory Apps for 2025

We are all different and have different learning styles. Pick the version that works best for you, but be intentional. For so long I wasn’t. Having a child with Down Syndrome in Awana who needed help led me to finding ways to help him and me to memorize the hundreds (or thousands) of verses that are required to finish the program. Keep in mind that you need to keep reviewing them or the memories will fade. The more times you memorize the verse, the longer it will stick with you. You just never know when you will need a Scripture verse and you may not have your Bible or phone (with Bible app) handy.

APPLY:

Knowing the Bible is critical for the Christian life, but knowing the Bible and God’s commands is not enough. We have to live according to this knowledge. We have to apply it in our lives. It needs to change the way we view the world and change the way we live our lives and interact with others.

for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. (Romans 2:13) {emphasis mine}

Our faith needs to be exhibited through action.

But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” (James 2:18) {emphasis mine}

There is nothing we need to do to be saved besides believe, but if we have saving faith, we should desire God’s word like the author of Psalm 119. Our lives should also change to be conformed to Jesus.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:12) {emphasis mine}

There must be works as evidence of our faith.

You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; (James 2:19-22) {emphasis mine}

The disciples heard Jesus tell them what was going to happen to Him. They knew what He had said because they reacted to it negatively. The problem was they didn’t believe it and didn’t live according to Jesus’s plain words. As important as it is to read and understand the Bible, none of that matters if we don’t believe it and live it.

But I Can’t Do It Myself:

Jesus knew that we could not know and do what we were commanded to know and do, at least not in our own power.

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” (Luke 24:45-49)

Jesus not only sent the disciples (and all believers) out into the world to tell of what He has done for us, but He told the disciples to “stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” Jesus told them to wait until they had received the Holy Spirit to guide and empower them in the work He had designed them to complete. We also have the Holy Spirit to change our hearts and minds, so we can fulfill the commandments and plans He has for us.

I’m sorry if this post had a little too much overlap with my last post, but knowing God’s word has become a passion of mine and it is where I felt led to go.

May the God of Heaven give you a hunger for His word, help you to understand His word, believe His word, and live His word. May your understanding of the word of God guide you in everything you think, speak, and do. May you never doubt God’s word or discount God’s word because it isn’t according to your preference. God bless you and keep you.

Trust Jesus.

We asked members of the design community to choose an artifact that embodies craft—something that speaks to their understanding of what it means to make with intention. Here’s what they shared.

A vintage puzzle box, a perfectly tuned guitar, an AI-powered poetry camera. A daiquiri mixed with precision. A spreadsheet that still haunts muscle memory. Each artifact tells a story: not just about the thing itself, but about the choices of the creator behind it. What to refine, what to leave raw. When to push forward, when to let go. Whether built to last for generations or designed to delight in a fleeting moment, the common thread is that great craft doesn’t happen by accident. It’s made.

On the application of craft

Even the most experienced makers can benefit from building structure and intention into their practice. From sharpening your storytelling to designing quality products, these pieces offer practical ways to uplevel your craft.

Europäischer Tunnelblick

In unseren Breiten sprach man schon seit jeher gerne davon, dass »Amerika den Europäern immer voraus« ist. Dass »der alte Kontinent« stets zehn Jahre im Hintertreffen ist. In der Finanzbranche attestierte man auch gerne mal einen Rückstand von »20 Jahren«. Bemängelt wurde im Rahmen solcher Analysen zumeist die mangelnde Innovationskraft europäischer Unternehmen, die gemäß einschlägiger Experten vor allem auf die Regulierungswut der hiesigen Bürokratie zurückzuführen ist. Langwierige Genehmigungsprozesse, kompliziertes Steuerrecht, zu kleine Kapitalmärkte und komplexe Datenschutzanforderungen schrecken Gründer und Investoren ab. »Bürokraten regulieren Europa zu Tode«, bringt es der Ökonom und Unternehmer Dirk Specht am 29. November 2024 auf den Punkt. Aus Sicht des Entrepreneurs eine durchaus nachvollziehbare Einordnung.

Denn selbst wenn die Hürden der Unternehmensgründung einmal überwunden sind, machen Bürokratiekosten selbst in kleinen Firmen knapp drei Prozent vom Umsatz aus. Im industriellen Mittelstand übersteigen sie nicht selten die jährliche Bruttoumsatzrendite von durchschnittlich fünfeinhalb Prozent. Von den arbeitsrechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen – siehe Kündigungsschutz, Urlaubsanspruch und Lohnfortzahlung im Krankheitsfall – gar nicht erst anzufangen. In puncto Flexibilität ist Europa für Unternehmer also tatsächlich nur bedingt attraktiv.

Ganz anders die USA. Deregulierung, Seed-Capital en Masse und ein Arbeitsrecht, das den Slogan »Hire and fire« weltberühmt machte – gemäß Tagesschau vom 11. Februar 2025 übrigens ein Modell, das dank Microsoft, Meta und SAP langsam auch in Deutschland Einzug hält. Diese unternehmerische Freiheit – oder Zügellosigkeit – machte Amerika zum Start-up-Inkubator. Zum Gründerparadies. Wall Street, Motorcity, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, et cetera. Ein Mekka für Investoren. Und ein Alptraum für Arbeitnehmer.

Alles richtig. Oberflächlich betrachtet. Dass bei dieser sehr kurzsichtigen Analyse stets außer Acht gelassen wird, welchen Anteil die beiden Weltkriege, angloamerikanische Finanzdynastien, halbseidene NGO-Netzwerke und vor allem über ein Dutzend Geheimdienste an Amerikas Wirtschaftswachstum der vergangenen 100 Jahre haben, trübt den Blick der europäischen Unternehmergarde allerdings nachhaltig. Denn er negiert den historischen Kontext. Vermutlich läuft Roger Köppels Editorial für DIE WELTWOCHE vom 01. Mai 2025 deshalb immer noch ungeniert unter dem Titel »Hoffnungsträger Trump«.

Ich habe täglich Kontakt mit Geschäftspartnern in den USA – und bei denen ist von Hoffnung nicht (mehr) viel zu spüren. Begriffe wie Planungsprobleme, Stornierung, Unsicherheit oder Lieferengpass fallen dagegen immer häufiger. Investor’s Business Daily nannte den Zustand vor wenigen Stunden »ein Erdbeben«, weil Trumps »Handelskrieg-Tsunami« nun auch die Häfen der Vereinigten Staaten erreicht hat. Die laufen langsam leer. Frachter und Tanker mit Importwaren löschen ihre Ladung nicht. Oder kommen gar nicht mehr an. Die auf Basis von Strafzöllen zu erwartenden Lieferengpässe »könnten die Folgen der Covid-Krise übertreffen«, konstatiert das Investment-Magazin.

Was also passiert gerade in den Vereinigten Staaten? Sollte Europa tatsächlich neidisch auf die vermeintlichen Wettbewerbsvorteile Amerikas sein – oder gar auf die aktuellen politischen Entwicklungen? Auf Effizienzsteigerung der Marke DOGE? Nein, keinesfalls. Denn zum einen sorgen die turbokapitalistischen Exzesse im »Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten« dafür, dass Arbeitnehmer endgültig zu Lohnsklaven degradiert werden, die den Launen von Märkten und Unternehmen relativ schutzlos ausgeliefert sind. Zum anderen beruht der Erfolg amerikanischer Konzerne keineswegs auf deren Innovationskraft, einem laxen Arbeitsrecht oder genialem Unternehmertum, sondern primär auf tiefenstaatlichem Interventionismus. Das gilt seit dem Jahrtausendwechsel vor allem für die Tech-Branche. Denn die USA sind nicht einfach eine Wirtschaftsmacht, sondern der militärische Arm des angloamerikanischen Empire.

Das zeigen die »Glorreichen Sieben« – Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla und Nvidia – die allesamt erst durch Startfinanzierung seitens Militär und Geheimdiensten wurden, was sie heute sind: Die Speerspitze des technokratischen Totalitarismus. Nachdem selbst The Economist am 10. Dezember 2024 feststellte, dass mit der Wiederwahl von Donald Trump nun »die PayPal-Mafia die US-Regierung übernimmt«, sollte man in unseren Bereiten also eventuell etwas kritischer begutachten, was die entsprechenden Konzerne dort treiben. Denn es ist angesichts von Agenda 2030, aktuellen EU-Programmen, EZB-Planungen und einer Kriegswirtschaft kolportierenden Bundesregierung unter BlackRock-Merz nicht davon auszugehen, dass es dieses Mal zehn oder zwanzig Jahre dauert, bis diese Entwicklungen auch bei uns ankommen.

Palantir & DOGE

Das bezieht sich insbesondere auf Elon Musks DOGE – das »Department of Government Efficiency« – eine neu geschaffene Behörde, die sich auf Effizienzsteigerung in Sachen Regierungsgeschäfte konzentrieren soll. Dies selbstredend unter flächendeckender Zuhilfenahme von KI (Künstlicher Intelligenz), die wiederum auf entsprechende Datenpools angewiesen ist. Um solche kurzfristig zur Verfügung zu stellen, durchforstet, hackt und kapert Musks DOGE-Team die IT-Abteilungen, Server und Netzwerke von Ministerien und Bundesbehörden. Vor allem auf Finanzdaten hat man es abgesehen. An geltendes Recht hält sich DOGE dabei nicht. Datenschützer sind alarmiert. Und Whistleblower werden von Musks Team bedroht. All das passiert in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Oracle, einem weiteren von der CIA startfinanzierten IT-Riesen – und natürlich Palantir, dem von Peter Thiel gegründeten Spionage- und Killerkonzern.

So berichtete Reuters am 6. Mai 2025 beispielsweise über ein neues Gemeinschaftsprojekt von Elon Musks xAI und Palantir, das die Nutzung der jeweiligen KI-Lösungen im Finanzsektor vorantreiben will – dies, nachdem xAI, BlackRock und Microsoft bereits im März ein neues Konsortium zur Erweiterung von KI-Infrastruktur ins Leben riefen. Im Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ist DOGE aktuell damit beschäftigt, das IDENT-System des »Office of Biometric Identity Management« (OBIM) zu übernehmen – die weltweit größte Datenbank für biometrische Informationen, die von praktisch allen US-Behörden aber auch internationalen Partnern genutzt wird. Zusammengeführt werden sollen die von DOGE gekaperten Daten in HART (Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology System), einem neuen, mit über sechs Milliarden US-Dollar budgetierten Überwachungssystem des DHS, das in Kollaboration mit Palantir-Programmen die flächendeckende Überwachung der Bevölkerung analog zu China ermöglichen wird.

Palantir wurde 2003 gegründet und arbeitet seither, das belegt eine 2013 geleakte Kundenliste, für mindestens 12 US-Regierungseinrichtungen: CIA, DHS, NSA, FBI, CDC, Special Operations Command, et cetera. Schon vor knapp zehn Jahren häuften sich Berichte – wie zum Beispiel von WIRED am 9. August 2017 – die belegten, dass Palantir die vermeintlich vertraulichen Daten, die zum Beispiel Polizisten in Los Angeles seit 2009 in Datenbanken des Konzerns erfassen, kopiert, verkauft und zweckentfremdet. Dass Palantir das rechtsextreme, zionistische Regime von Benjamin Netanjahu bei seinem Genozid in Gaza unterstützt, ist ebenfalls kein Geheimnis mehr. Die strategische Partnerschaft zwischen Thiels Tötungsmaschine und den IDF wurde nach Berichten von Bloomberg vom 12. Januar 2024 gar ausgeweitet. Gideon Levy bescheinigt seinem Land in einem Beitrag der Haaretz vom 19. Januar 2025, in Gaza den »ersten faschistischen Krieg« seiner Geschichte zu führen. Womit wir wieder bei Palantir und den Vereinigten Staaten wären.

Denn wie ich bereits in meinem Artikel über Thiel vom 22. September 2024 in Aussicht gestellt hatte, kommt dem gebürtigen Frankfurter eine ganz besondere Rolle in Trumps neuer Regierung zu. Vom »Paten« der PayPal-Mafia und Geheimdienst-Frontmann zum Palantir-Boss und Bilderberg-Leitungsmitglied – und nun einflussreichsten Mann hinter der US-Regierung. Ohne Peter Thiels finanzielle Unterstützung wäre JD Vance weder Geschäftsmann noch Senator in Ohio oder US-Vizepräsident geworden. So verwundert es kaum, dass Palantir bereits 100 Tage nach Donald Trumps Amtsantritt Zugriff auf sämtliche Steuer-, Gesundheits- und Bewegungsdaten der US-Bevölkerung hat und diese in einer Datenbank zusammenführt, um seine KI darauf anzusetzen. Selbst die Speicher von Smartwatches und Fitness-Armbändern werden angezapft. Kein Datensatz ist mehr tabu.

Wie diese Daten künftig verwendet werden – und zwar gegen alles und jeden – zeigt eine von Palantir entwickelte Software namens »ImmigrationOS«. Ein System, das der US-Regierung hilft, das Leben von Migranten zu durchleuchten und permanent zu überwachen. Inklusive biografischer, biometrischer und Geolokationsdaten. Die auf Basis dieser Daten entwickelten Empfehlungen nutzt das ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), um Menschen in die an Massentierhaltung erinnernden Supermax-Gefängnisse von El Salvador abzuschieben. Für Deportationen ohne Beweise, Anhörung, Gerichtsverhandlung und Rechtsgrundlage. Eine in dieser Form fraglos verfassungsfeindliche Ausweitung des »Catch and Revoke« Programms, dem anstelle illegaler Einwanderer nun auch Doktoranden, Studenten oder unbescholtene Arbeitnehmer zum Opfer fallen – siehe der Fall Kilmar Abrego Garcia – vor allem solche, die den Völkermord in Gaza kritisieren.

Es dürfte derweil nur eine Frage der Zeit sein, bis das zugrundliegende, am 30. April 2025 verabschiedete »Antisemitismus-Gesetz« auf weitere unliebsame Personenkreise angewendet wird. Der Bundesstaat Alabama lässt sich bereits von der fragwürdigen Deportationspraxis Washingtons inspirieren und kündigte in Person des Republikaners Chris Sells am 1. Mai 2025 an, selbst ein Gesetz erlassen zu wollen, das die Abschiebung verurteilter Personen ins Ausland ermöglicht. Gemäß Sells wolle man mit dem Gesetzesvorschlag nur ein Zeichen setzen. Mit einer Verabschiedung rechne man nicht. Trump verkündete unterdes, neben Migranten künftig auch US-Bürger und Ureinwohner nach El Salvador verfrachten zu wollen. Verfassungsrechtlich ein absolutes Tabu. Bisher.

The Atlantic nennt diese Entwicklungen am 27. April 2025 ein »amerikanisches Panoptikum«. Zu Recht. Denn Palantirs zentralisierter Datenpool wird sich zum mächtigsten Unterdrückungsinstrument der Zivilisationsgeschichte auswachsen – und in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft auch gegen jene MAGA-Anhänger eingesetzt werden, die solch faschistoide Vorgänge derzeit noch bejubeln. Gegen das, was da auf uns zukommt, waren Corona-Tracking und 2G-Segregation geradezu harmlos.

Entsprechend hellhörig sollte es machen, dass die NATO Palantirs KI-Lösungen – genauer: die »Maven AI« – künftig für militärische Planungszwecke einsetzt, wie eine Presseerklärung des »Verteidigungsbündnisses« vom 14. April 2025 ausführt. Denn »Project Maven« ist auf ein Memorandum des US-Verteidigungsministeriums vom 26. April 2017 zurückzuführen und hatte zum Ziel, ein »funktionsübergreifendes Team für algorithmische Kriegsführung« zu schaffen. Unterstützt wurde das US-Militär dabei zunächst von Google. Also dem Unternehmen, das einst unter dem Motto »Don’t be evil« – Sei nicht böse! – angetreten war. Begleitet wurde Googles Engagement für Project Maven von einem massiven Aufruhr in der Belegschaft und Artikelüberschriften wie »Hey Google, wen soll die US-Regierung heute töten?«. Offene Briefe an Google-Chef Sundar Pichai forderten 2018, der IT-Konzern solle die Partnerschaft mit dem Pentagon unverzüglich beenden. Und das tat Google auch.

Project Maven lief natürlich trotzdem weiter. Wie Breaking Defense am 27. April 2022 ausführte, wurde das Vorhaben nach Googles Rückzug der NGA (National Geospatial Intelligence Agency) unterstellt und gemäß Informationen des Forbes Magazine fortan von Eric Schmidt (Google, Bilderberg), Peter Thiel und James Murdoch, dem jüngeren Sohn von Rupert Murdoch finanziert. Maven AI ist das KI-Flaggschiff des US-Militärs – und wird jetzt als Palantir-Produkt weltweit ausgerollt. Vorboten sind in Hessen, Bayern und Nordrhein-Westfalen bereits im Einsatz und dürften angesichts der Iden des Merz wohl bald bundesweit Verwendung finden. Es ist also keineswegs übertrieben, wenn der US-Journalist Derrick Broze am 24. April 2025 von der »Palantir World Order« spricht – einem überstaatlichen Herrschaftssystem, das zuvorderst aufgrund seiner auf zwielichtigen bis illegalen Akkumulationsprozessen basierenden Deutungs- und Interventionshoheit in puncto Big Data fußt. Getreu dem Palantir-Slogan: »Die Software ist das Waffensystem«. Selbst eine in der ARD-Mediathek abrufbare Doku des NDR über Palantir von 10. Juni 2024 läuft unter dem eindeutigen Titel »Eine Software, die töten kann«.

Ja, das Geschäft mit dem industriell-digitalisierten Auftragsmord boomt. Denn internationale Konflikte nehmen zu und die Observationsökonomie erlebt einen Quantensprung. Entsprechend profitabel fiel das erste Quartal 2025 für Thiels Unternehmen aus. Stolze 884 Millionen US-Dollar stellte man Kunden in Rechnung. Ein Wachstum von 39 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr und 21,7 Millionen mehr als prognostiziert. Am 5. Mai 2025 gab die Palantir Aktie zwar um 15 Prozent nach – laut Analysten könnte die Aktie aber auch um 70 Prozent fallen und wäre immer noch die teuerste Marke unter Softwareanbietern in diesem Segment.

Das sollte zu denken geben. Denn die USA durchlaufen eine Metamorphose – weg von demokratischen Strukturen und hin zur »Algokratie«. Die PayPal-Mafia hat das Weiße Haus gekapert und demonstriert dem Wertewesten, was er im Zuge der vierten industriellen Revolution zu erwarten hat: Tech-Feudalismus, dessen Oligarchen sich aufgrund vermeintlicher Sachzwänge schamlos über Recht und Gesetz hinwegsetzen. Nicht von ungefähr hat Donald Trump in seinen ersten 100 Amtstagen bereits 141 »Exekutive Orders« unterzeichnet. Ohne dabei auch nur einmal das Repräsentantenhaus einzubeziehen oder demokratische Prozesse zu respektieren. In diesem Lichte betrachtet erscheint das Cover des TIME Magazine vom Juni 2018, auf dem »The Donald« als König abgebildet war – Titel: »King me« – heute zeitgemäßer denn je.

Dunkle Aufklärung

Und das ist kein Zufall. Wirft man nämlich einen Blick auf die philosophischen Konzepte, die Menschen wie Peter Thiel, JD Vance oder Elon Musk inspirieren, zeigt sich, dass die entsprechenden Pamphlete genau das fordern: Eine postmoderne Version von Monarchie. Einen CEO, der das Land führt wie einen Großkonzern. Mittels KI – und auf Basis des amerikanischen Arbeitsrechts natürlich. Vielsagend, dass Donald Trump am 19. April 2025 auf Twitter ankündigte, exakt das tun zu wollen:

»Das ist gesunder Menschenverstand und wird ermöglichen, dass die Bundesregierung endlich „wie ein Unternehmen geführt wird“.«

Dass Trump den letzten Teil des Satzes in Anführungszeichen setzt, impliziert, dass er jemanden zitiert. Von wem die Phrase stammt, lässt er allerdings offen. Der US-Präsident scheint jedenfalls den Ratschlägen seines Vize JD Vance zu folgen, der bereits am 17. September 2021 in einem Interview mit dem Jack Murphy Podcast sagte:

»Was Trump tun sollte, wenn ich ihm einen Ratschlag geben dürfte: Feuere jeden einzelnen Bürokraten der mittleren Leitungsebene, jeden Beamten in der Verwaltung, und ersetze ihn mit unseren Leuten. Und wenn man dich dafür verklagt, wenn dich die Gerichte aufhalten wollen – denn man wird dich dafür verklagen – stell dich vor das Land, so wie Andrew Jackson, und sag den Menschen, dass der oberste Entscheidungsträger sein Urteil bereits gefällt hat. Jetzt lasst es ihn auch umsetzen.«

Und so geschah es. Denn als der Oberste Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten am 19. April 2025 entschied, dass die juristisch fragwürdigen Deportationen zu stoppen sind, schrieb Donald Trump auf Twitter:

»Ich wurde unter anderem gewählt, um schlechte Menschen aus den Vereinigten Staaten zu entfernen. Ich muss meine Arbeit tun dürfen.«

Damit stellt sich Trump offen gegen die höchste juristische Instanz des Landes und fordert, trotz eines geltenden Urteils weitermachen zu können. Für dieses Vorgehen sucht er Rückhalt in der Bevölkerung. Er will die Gerichte unter Druck zu setzen, um regieren zu können wie ein Monarch. So, wie es die Vordenker der »Neoreaktionären Bewegung« (NRx) – zumeist »Dunkle Aufklärung« genannt – vorschlagen. Bei dieser politischen Philosophie handelt es sich selbst laut Wikipedia um ein »antidemokratisches, antiegalitäres, reaktionäres und neofeudales Konzept«. Geprägt wurde es von einem etwas kauzig anmutenden Blogger namens Curtis Yarvin, der auf seiner Webseite »Unqualified Reservations« ab 2007 und unter dem Pseudonym Mencius Moldbug Texte über das Versagen der Demokratie und Theorien zu alternativen Herrschaftsformen publizierte.

Weiterentwickelt wurden diese Konzepte unter anderem von Nick Land, einem britischen Schriftsteller, der als Vater des »Akzelerationismus« gilt und mit einem Blog-Beitrag aus dem Jahr 2013 auch den Begriff »Dunkle Aufklärung« für Yarvins Theorien aufbrachte. In seinen späteren Texten redete der Brite einem »wissenschaftlichen Rassismus«, der Eugenik und dem von ihm geprägten Begriff »Hyperrassismus« das Wort. Bei der rechtsnationalistischen bis rechtsextremen Alt-Right-Bewegung stieß er damit auf offene Ohren. Die deutsche Publikation »nd – Journalismus von Links« findet diesen »Philosophen der digitalen Entgrenzung« in einem Beitrag vom 21. Mai 2023 aber trotzdem »interessant«. Dass Nick Land gerne Amphetamin konsumiert und eine Weile im Haus des 1947 verstorbenen Satanisten Aleister Crowley lebte, scheint nd-Autor Konstantin Jahn eher Bewunderung abzuringen. Seinem ehemaligen Arbeitgeber, The New Center for Research & Practice, allerdings nicht – der setzte Land am 29. März 2017 wegen rassistischer Umtriebe vor die Tür.

Von Curtis Yarvin war nach der Einstellung seines Blogs im Jahr 2016 unterdes nicht mehr viel zu hören. Bis jetzt. Denn anno 2025 schreibt plötzlich die Financial Times über »die Philosophie hinter Trumps Dunkler Aufklärung«. Ebenso die New York Times, die Yarvin im Januar 2025 zum großen Interview für eine Titelstory bat. Selbst der Bayrische Rundfunk schrieb am 23. März 2025 über den einst nur Insidern bekannten Blogger. Und natürlich Politico, wo am 30. Januar 2025 ein Artikel über Yarvin erschien. Aufmacher: »Curtis Yarvins Ideen waren Randerscheinungen. Jetzt verbreiten sie sich in Trumps Washington«. Im Zuge seines Textes beschreibt Autor Ian Ward, wie Yarvin nach Washington reiste, um auf Einladung des Trump-Teams an der pompösen Inaugurationsfeier teilzunehmen, wo er unter anderem mit dem ehemaligen Thiel-Angestellten JD Vance sprach, der die politischen Theorien von Yarvin mehrfach bei öffentlichen Auftritten lobte, zitierte und als wichtigen Einfluss auf sein Denken nannte. Im Gespräch mit Ward führte Yarvin aus, dass er Trump gegenüber zunächst skeptisch gewesen sei, weil er sich nicht sicher war, ob Trump den von ihm empfohlenen Regimewechsel überhaupt durchziehen könne.

Zwischenzeitlich habe sich jedoch Optimismus eingestellt, so Yarvin, denn man könne in Trumps Kabinett eine »neugewonnene Selbstsicherheit und Aggressivität« spüren. Kein Wunder, besteht es doch in weiten Teilen aus Protegés, Kollegen, Geschäftspartnern und Freunden von Peter Thiel – zu letzteren gehört nach Aussage von Thiel übrigens auch der neue Chef der NIH (National Institutes of Health), Jay Bhattacharya, der zuvor unter anderem bei der Hoover Institution sowie der RAND Corporation tätig war. Aufgabenbereich: Demographie und Ökonomie von Gesundheit und Altern mit Schwerpunkt auf Regierungsprogrammen und biomedizinischer Innovation.

Wer sich mit Thiel beschäftigt hat, wird kaum überrascht sein, dass der in Frankfurt geborene Milliardär Anhänger der »Dunklen Aufklärung« ist. Schon im Mai 2016 schrieb Curtis Yarvin eine E-Mail an einen Bekannten und erklärte: »Ich coache Thiel«. Der brauche aber deutlich weniger politische Orientierungshilfe als gedacht, so Yarvin. »Ich habe die Wahlen in seinem Haus angeschaut. Ich glaube, mein Hangover dauerte bis Dienstag. Er (Thiel) ist völlig aufgeklärt, geht aber sehr vorsichtig vor«, konstatiert Yarvin in seiner Mail. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt stand der dunkle Aufklärer auch in Kontakt mit dem technischen Redakteur von Breitbart News, dem seinerzeit wichtigsten Sprachrohr von Trumps ehemaligem Chefstrategen Steve Bannon, »dem Medien-Baron der Alt-Right-Bewegung«, der sich ebenfalls an Yarvins Konzepten orientierte, dessen Bücher öffentlich empfahl und maßgeblich dazu beitrug, dass Donald Trump die Wahl gegen Hillary »Body Count« Clinton gewann.

Nach Angaben von BuzzFeed News stand auch Peter Thiel 2016 in Kontakt mit besagtem Breitbart-Redakteur. In einem Podcast auftreten, wollte er allerdings nicht. »Lass uns einfach Kaffee holen und dann schauen, was wir machen«, antwortete der Palantir-Gründer im Mai auf eine Interview-Einladung von Breitbart. Und im Juni lud Thiel den Breitbart-Mitarbeiter zum Abendessen in sein Haus in den Hollywood Hills ein. Man darf davon ausgehen, dass es bei diesen Gesprächen um finanzielle Unterstützung von Breitbart News, beziehungsweise der Alt-Right-Bewegung ging. Sprich, um Stimmungsmache für Trump.

Im Wahlkampf 2024 war Thiel weniger zurückhaltend. JD Vance hatte seinen Gönner ja auch bereits im August 2024 via Forbes Magazine dazu aufgerufen, »die Seitenlinie zu verlassen und für Trump zu spenden«. Kurz darauf überwies der Exil-Deutsche mindestens 1,25 Millionen Dollar. Die Betonung liegt auf mindestens. Denn als JD Vance 2022 für den Senat kandidierte, spendete Thiel ganze 15 Millionen US-Dollar für dessen Kampagne. Für manch einen vorausschauenden Journalisten war deshalb schon im Sommer 2024 klar: »Donald Trump ist Peter Thiels erfolgreichstes Investment«.

»Letztes Jahr veröffentlichte der Journalist Max Chafkin eine Biografie über Thiel (…), in der er Yarvin als den politischen Philosophen (…) für ein Netzwerk bezeichnete, das man als Thiel-Verse kennt. Das Buch erklärt, wie Thiel sowohl Cruz als auch Josh Hawley auf ihrem Weg in den Senat half. Es endet mit einem düsteren Bild des Milliardärs, der versucht, seinen politischen Einfluss immer offener auszuweiten (…). Masters und Vance unterscheiden sich von Hawley und Cruz, schreibt Chafkin – erstere sind verlängerte Arme von Thiel«.

Das konnte man in der Vanity Fair am 20. April 2022 über Thiels Bemühungen lesen, sich politischen Einfluss für Trumps zweite Amtsperiode zu sichern. Unter der Überschrift »Im Inneren der Neuen Rechten – wo Peter Thiel seine größten Einsätze platziert« erklärt das Blatt: »Sie sind nicht MAGA. Sie sind nicht QAnon. Curtis Yarvin und die aufstrebende Rechte entwickeln eine andere Form konservativer Politik«.

So stellt sich an dieser Stelle unweigerlich die Frage: Was für eine Politik soll das sein? Warum verkünden Thiel-Weggefährten wie Elon Musk stolz, »nicht nur MAGA, sondern Dark MAGA« zu sein?  Was fordern »Akzelerationismus« und »Dunkle Aufklärung«? Wie sieht der von Yarvin, Land, Thiel, Vance, Trump, Musk und Co. avisierte Soll-Zustand aus?

Auf den Punkt bringt das ein Akronym, das Curtis Yarvin seit 2012 benutzt: RAGE. Es steht für »Retire All Government Employees«, übersetzt also dafür, alle Regierungsmitarbeiter zu entlassen. Auch der von Thiel finanzierte Republikaner Blake Masters nutzte das Akronym schon öffentlich. Nur so könne man das amerikanische »Regime« stürzen. »Was wir brauchen«, so Yarvin, »ist ein nationaler CEO – oder das, was man einen Diktator nennt«. Die Amerikaner müssten ihre »Diktatoren-Phobie« überwinden, damit das Land »wie ein Start-up geführt werden kann«. Nach Ansicht von The Brooklyn Rail ist das mittlerweile der Fall. Denn am 30. Januar 2025 veröffentlichte das Medienportal einen Artikel, in dem Autor David Levi Strauss erklärt, die US-Bevölkerung akzeptiere nun endlich »die Idee, dass das Land von einem CEO und wie ein Konzern oder eine Diktatur geführt werden müsse, weil sie – wie Peter Thiel schon 2009 erklärte – nicht mehr daran glauben, dass Freiheit und Demokratie kompatibel sind«.

Ob Akzelerationismus, Neoreaktionäre Bewegung oder Dunkle Aufklärung, sie alle plädieren für eine Rückkehr zu traditionellen gesellschaftlichen Konstrukten und Regierungsformen, inklusive des absoluten Monarchismus. Dafür soll der Staat in eine private Aktiengesellschaft umgewandelt werden, in welcher dem Geschäftsführer absolute Macht zukommt. Gleichheit lehnen alle drei Strömungen als politisches Ziel ab. Stattdessen verfolgt man rationalistische oder utilaristische Konzepte sozialer Schichtung, die auf Erbmerkmalen oder Leistungsprinzipien beruhen – sprich, auf den Grundgedanken der Eugenik.

Diese neue Regierungsform, »Gov-Corp«, wie der britische Journalist Iain Davis das Modell in seinen betreffenden Artikeln und einem lesenswerten Zweiteiler betitelt, wird aufgrund der ihr zur Verfügung stehenden Technologie eine nie gekannte Machtfülle besitzen – eine Machtfülle, die sich aufgrund genau dieser Technologie mit Leichtigkeit als liberale Marktwirtschaft vermarkten lässt. Als rationales, effizientes und individuelle Freiheit suggerierendes Modell zur Steuerung von Staat, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Obwohl man als Bürger – oder sagt man besser Kunde, Mitarbeiter oder Bilanzposition? – vertraglich verpflichtet wird, seine Rechte an die herrschende Konzernstruktur zu übertragen. Analog zu den Bewohnern von Peter Thiels »Start-up City« Próspera – die derzeit versucht, ihr Gastland Honduras mit einer erfolgsversprechenden Klage im Wert von 10,7 Milliarden US-Dollar in den Staatsbankrott zu treiben.

Universelle Menschenrechte sind im Gov-Corp-Modell jedenfalls nicht vorgesehen. Wenn neoreaktionäre Theoretiker wie Curtis Yarvin von »Exit« sprechen, also vom Verlassen demokratischer Strukturen, stellen sie gleichzeitig eine »Opt-in-Society« in Aussicht. Was vordergründig erst einmal gut klingt, soll man sich die Serviceangebote des Staates doch nach eigenen Bedürfnissen konfigurieren dürfen, entpuppt sich schnell als totalitäres wie inhumanes Konstrukt. Als Tech-Feudalismus. Denn für diejenigen, die in der »sozialen Schichtung« untere Ränge bekleiden, sich die Serviceangebote von Gov-Corp nicht leisten können oder den Chef kritisieren, wird es rasch ungemütlich. Siehe Supermax-Gefängnisse.

Dementsprechend zurückhaltend sollte man sein, wenn verheißungsvolle Begriffe wie Freedom Cities, Charter Cities, Start-up Cities oder »Network State« fallen. Denn gerade letzterer steht für nichts anderes als die finale Ausbaustufe von Gov-Corp. Für ein Netzwerk autonomer Städte, die jeweils von einem eigenen CEO mit absolutistischer Macht geführt werden. Sprich, für einen Zusammenschluss kleiner Königreiche – oder Niederlassungen – eines Konzerns namens Regierung. Das Konzept Netzwerk-Staat ist in dieser Form Balaji Srinivasan zuzuschreiben, dem ehemaligen CTO von Coinbase und Partner von Andreessen Horowitz. Sein im Juli 2022 veröffentlichtes Buch »The Network State« beschreibt auf fast 500 Seiten, wie »der Nachfolger des Nationalstaats« aussehen soll. Eine unausgegorene Spinnerei ist das Ganze also nicht mehr. Im Gegenteil. Srinivasan gründete extra einen Fond, um das Konzept Netzwerk-Staat voranzutreiben und wird dabei von diversen Tech-Milliardären unterstützt.

Vor diesem Hintergrund verwundert es nicht, dass Netscape-Gründer Marc Andreessen bereits Anfang Oktober 2013 prognostizierte, dass »es in den kommenden Jahren doppelt so viele, oder drei oder vier Mal so viele Länder geben wird«. Andreessens »Techno-Optimist Manifesto« vom 16. Oktober 2023 erwähnt zwar weder Yarvin noch Land oder Srinivasan, aber es outet den Verfasser als eingefleischten Akzelerationisten – und als Fan des Transhumanisten Ray Kurzweil.

Für Außenstehende mag Srinivasans Konzept abseitig anmuten. Aber es zog Kreise. Selbst die New York Times berichtete am 28. Oktober 2013 über eine Rede des bekennenden Staatsfeinds bei der Silicon Valley »Startup School«. Der entsprechende Artikel eröffnet mit dem Worten: »Silicon Valley aufgeschreckt von Sezessionsruf. Erst die Sklavenhalter im Süden, jetzt das. Versucht Silicon Valley, sich von Amerika abzuspalten?«. Während das Nachrichtenportal TechCrunch die »Dunkle Aufklärung« Ende 2013 noch als Bewegung von Nerds abtat, die eine Monarchie fordern, sprach man beim britischen Telegraph im Januar 2014 bereits von »anspruchsvollem Neo-Faschismus«.

Die Granden der Big-Tech-Branche wissen seit über einem Jahrzehnt, dass ihr digital-finanzieller Komplex die Welt beherrscht und sie mittels Disruption jede andere Industrie zum Handlanger degradiert haben. Dementsprechend selbstbewusst treten ihre Vordenker, Theoretiker und Philosophen auf. Nicht umsonst teilt auch Patri Friedman, Enkel des Nobelpreisträgers Milton Friedman, neoreaktionäre Positionen – auch wenn er sich 2009 mit Yarvin überwarf, seither »eine politisch korrektere dunkle Aufklärung« fordert und nun eigene Freedom Cities auf schwimmenden Plattformen in internationalen Gewässern schaffen will. Dafür gründete er 2019 Pronomos Capital, ein Unternehmen, das über 13 Millionen US-Dollar von Thiel, Srinivasan und Andreessen erhielt, Próspera finanziert und ähnliche Projekte in Afrika, Südostasien und Palau im Portfolio hat.

Die omnipräsente Konstante: Peter Thiel – der nicht nur in Firmen von Yarvin, Srinivasan oder Friedman investiert, sondern Donald Trump auch bei der Auswahl von Kabinettsmitgliedern beriet. So kam es, dass Thiels Kumpel Srinivasan sogar im Gespräch für den Chefposten der FDA (Food and Drug Administration) war. Eine hochrangige Position im Staatsapparat. Erstaunlich, erinnert man sich an dessen staatsfeindliche Rede bei der »Startup School«. Die Japan Times findet am 19. Juni 2024 passende Worte für diese Vorgänge:

»Es wird immer deutlicher: Führende Techno-Libertäre (…) sind nur insoweit gegen den Staat, als er sie nicht persönlich bereichert. Angesichts der Aussicht, dass die Regierung zu einem Großkunden wird, löst sich der einst prinzipielle Widerstand gegen die Staatsmacht auf. Dieser Wandel lässt sich auch bei Thiel selbst beobachten. 2009 erklärte er, dass die große Aufgabe für Libertäre darin bestehe, Politik in all ihren Formen zu entkommen. Doch 2016 engagierte sich Thiel voll und ganz für Parteipolitik und hielt eine Rede auf dem Parteitag der Republikaner. Inzwischen ist Palantir, das von ihm mitgegründete Datenanalyseunternehmen, zu einem Giganten herangewachsen und profitiert von riesigen Regierungsaufträgen. Fast die Hälfte seiner Einnahmen stammt mittlerweile aus öffentlichen Mitteln.«

Keine Frage: Peter Thiel ist Dreh- und Angelpunkt hinter der neuen US-Regierung. Der Pate der PayPal-Mafia ist der mächtigste Mann in Washington und Palantir die treibende Kraft hinter dem digitalen Panoptikum, das sich dort derzeit formiert. Und was Elon Musk als DOGE verkauft, erinnert im Kern an RAGE. Selbst das TIME Magazine stellt anhand der bislang 30.000 gefeuerten Regierungsmitarbeiter fest, dass die Vorgehensweise von Trump und Co. keineswegs Zufall ist, sondern exakt der Programmatik von Yarvins »Dunkler Aufklärung« folgt. Nur in unseren Breiten tut man sich immer noch schwer damit, das zu erkennen – oder einräumen zu wollen.

Dafür gibt es zwei Gründe. Erstens: Bis dato hat kein deutschsprachiger Journalist ausführlich über diese Zusammenhänge berichtet und den notwendigen Kontext hergestellt. Zweitens: Ist man vom herrschenden System enttäuscht und stößt bei der Suche nach Alternativen auf die Analysen von Yarvin oder Srinivasan, wirken diese wie Balsam in den Ohren, geht man als Kritiker des übermächtigen und -griffigen Staates doch in weiten Teilen mit deren Einordnung aktueller Probleme konform. Selbst die Lösungsvorschläge der dunklen Aufklärer wirken plausibel. Zumindest theoretisch. Mehr Autonomie, Dezentralität, Effizienz, Prosperität – und viel weniger Staat. Klingt attraktiv. Vor allem im Vergleich mit dem kollektivistischen Wohlfahrtspaternalismus der vergangenen Dekaden.

Die Rattenfänger aus dem Silicon Valley erzählen dem enttäuschten und von Politik angewiderten Demos, was er hören will. Im Bereich Neuro-Linguistisches Programmieren (NLP) nennt man das die Echo-Technik. Sie sorgt dafür, dass sich das Gegenüber wahr- und ernstgenommen fühlt. Dass es sich öffnet. Das funktioniert erstaunlich gut. Bis man sich anschaut, woher das Geld kommt und wohin die Daten fließen. Bis man erkennt, dass solch ein System, die Algokratie, für deutlich mehr Zentralisierung steht – für mehr Staat, für Datenzentren von Tech-Despoten und interoperable Blockchain-Plattformen von Finanzkartellen. Für einen digitalen Gulag und Gewalt gegen Andersdenkende. Für die Abschaffung universeller Menschenrechte.

Sicher. Man weiß nicht, ob die »Dunkle Aufklärung«, ob Akzelerationismus und ein Netzwerk-Staat mit CEO – oder »Diktator« – nicht vielleicht besser funktionieren als Demokratie. Manch einer denkt, man könne es ja mal versuchen. Das wollte auch der Anarcho-Kapitalist Jeff Berwick, alias The Dollar Vigilante. Im März 2025 reiste er nach Honduras, um sich Próspera anzuschauen und anschließend für das Freedom-City-Projekt zu werben. Doch ein paar Tage vor der mit der Stadtverwaltung abgestimmten Visite und Führung erhielt er eine E-Mail vom Rechtsanwalt des Unternehmens, der ihm zu seiner Überraschung mitteilte, er dürfe nun doch nicht anreisen – und hätte ab sofort generelles Zutrittsverbot für das Gelände der »Sonderentwicklungszone«. Wahrscheinlich fand die Presseabteilung von Próspera bei der vorbereitenden Überprüfung seiner Person heraus, dass Jeff Berwick von Technokratie, Zionismus, Krieg, Trump, Vance und auch der PayPal-Mafia nicht allzu viel hält. Er bezeichnet sich nämlich als »Verschwörungsrealist« – und war auf der Suche nach Freiheit. Die ist aber offenbar auch in Próspera Mangelware.

Shanghai: Bus Stops Here

A new crowd-sourced transit platform allows riders to propose, vote on, and activate new bus lines in as little as three days.

From early-morning school drop-offs to seniors booking rides to the hospital, from suburban commuters seeking a faster link to the metro to families visiting ancestral graves, Shanghai is rolling out a new kind of public bus — one that’s designed by commuters, and launched only when enough riders request it.

Branded “DZ” for dingzhi, or “customized,” the system invites residents to submit proposed routes through a city-run platform. Others with similar travel needs can opt in or vote, and if demand meets the threshold — typically 15 to 20 passengers per trip — the route goes live.

More than 220 DZ routes have already launched across all 16 city districts. Through an online platform opened May 8, users enter start and end points, preferred times, and trip frequency. If approved, routes can begin running in as little as three days.

🧠Quote(s) of the week:

'Bitcoin is a high-IQ, low-time-preference asset in a world addicted to DoorDash, dopamine, and debt. Holding Bitcoin requires patience, conviction, and the ability to not panic when CNBC tells you it’s dead for the 47th time. That rules out, oh, I don’t know - 95% of the population? This isn’t some egalitarian revolution. This is a cognitive filter disguised as a monetary network. The rich, the strategic, the elite - those who understand volatility as an opportunity - will stack the hardest asset on Earth while the masses beg for interest rate cuts and $600 stimmies to buy groceries they can't afford.

It's not a level playing field. It's a time-preference war, and Bitcoin is the scoreboard. And every cycle, we watch it happen again. The media ridicules it, the politicians fear it, and the smart money buys more. While fiat punishes savers and rewards financial nihilism, Bitcoin inverts the whole structure. It’s a vault for those who can delay gratification, think generationally, and understand that true wealth is preserved rather than printed. The game isn’t rigged. It’s just calibrated for adults.' - Adam Livingston

'Bitcoin is an extremely simple thesis. If you think governments will stop debasing and debanking: number go down. If you think they won’t stop debasing and debanking: number go up'- Alex Gladstein

Something to ponder on.

➡️'This shattered a major myth for me: gold production isn’t slowing down—it’s accelerating. According to NYDIG, annual gold mining has been steadily increasing over time, about 1.6% per year, thanks to better extraction technology. In fact, 2024 saw a 1% year-over-year increase, setting an all-time high in gold output (World Gold Council). So why do so many still believe the outdated narrative that gold is becoming harder to find? The truth is: gold is effectively unlimited in supply—we just get better at digging it up. If that surprises you, you're probably not nearly bullish enough on Bitcoin.' - Robert Hefner https://i.ibb.co/JWCHndQk/Gpu-W9-R1-Xw-AAiy-Cv.jpg

When the debt bubble collapses, only sound money with zero counterparty risk matters. Currently, sound money is less than 5% of debt money, and Bitcoin is so tiny it is barely visible on the chart. Stay humble and keep stacking.' https://i.ibb.co/QF0Vf9k8/Gpu-CCIWa-YAAng1-U.png

On the 2nd of May:

➡️ Regarding the whole OP_Return debate.

Grok: ++Key Points: ++ * The OP_RETURN debate in Bitcoin centers on whether its blockchain should store data beyond financial transactions, with ongoing controversy. * It began in 2010 with concerns about blockchain bloat, intensified in 2014 with the "OP_Return Wars," and continues today. * Research suggests the debate reflects a balance between Bitcoin's monetary purpose and potential for broader applications like Dapps. * Compromises, like setting a 40-byte limit in 2014, aimed to address concerns but didn't fully resolve tensions, influencing platforms like Ethereum.

++Background++ OP_RETURN is a Bitcoin script opcode allowing small data storage in transactions, useful for timestamping or Dapps, but raising concerns about blockchain bloat.

++Historical Context++

The debate started in 2010 with the BitDNS proposal, where Satoshi Nakamoto worried about scalability, leading to Namecoin. It peaked in 2014 with Counterparty's use, leading to a 40-byte limit compromise, later adjusted to 83 bytes by 2016.

++Recent Developments++ By 2018-2019, high OP_RETURN usage (20% of transactions) sparked fee debates, but usage has since declined, though data remains, with recent 2023 controversies over size limits.

If you are interested in Bitcoin, then you should check out the following video.

Great video from @GrassFedBitcoin explaining the current OP_RETURN situation. The choice isn’t between bloating the UTXO set or increasing OP_RETURN, it’s whether we normalize spam or we reject it. Is Bitcoin for data storage or financial transactions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15biQH1H140 Every Bitcoiner needs to see this! Vires in Numeris.

A great counterargument by Seth for Privacy:

https://x.com/sethforprivacy/status/1919003009880616976

Personally, I tend to agree with Seth.

To sum it up:

If you are running a node, you should switch from Core to Knots immediately. It's very straightforward, and you don't need to redo the initial block download.

If you arent running a node you are a leech and need to get your shit together.

➡️Tether CEO defends skipping MiCA, calling EU stablecoin rules “very dangerous.” Ardoino: “The European Central Bank is more interested in pushing the digital euro to control people and how they spend their money.”

On the 3rd of May:

➡️Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed the state’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve legislation after it was passed by the House and Senate. She states: “Arizonans’ retirement funds are not the place for the state to try untested investments like virtual currency.”

Apparently, the Arizona State Retirement System already holds 53,097 shares of MSTR. You can’t make this shit up.

➡️Vitalik Buterin: 'One of the best things about Bitcoin is how simple it is. This simplicity has lots of benefits. Let's bring those benefits to Ethereum.' Almost like Bitcoin is eh......(checks notes)......better tech. Just use Bitcoin, dumbfuck! 'It's only taken a decade, but Ethereum's creator is having an inkling that he never should have created Ethereum, which destroyed billions of precious capital and instead focused on Bitcoin.' - Vijay Boyapati

There is no second best!

On the 4th of May:

➡️Eli Nagar:

Heads up, Bitcoin holders: The EU will ban anonymous crypto accounts by July 2027. Every transaction above €1,000 will need your ID. Privacy is becoming extinct. Every new restriction is a marketing campaign for Bitcoin. “Hi, we’re the EU. We’ll surveil you, control your money, and criminalise privacy.” By doing that, they have decided to help promote the black market...great work, EU! Oh, and remember, the EU can't ban what it has no control over: hold your own private keys.

➡️Cumulative inflows into the Bitcoin ETFs have hit a fresh ATH of $ 40.62 B.

On the 5th of May:

➡️Brown University invested $4.9M in Bitcoin via BlackRock's IBIT, as disclosed in a recent SEC filing. The university owns 105K IBIT shares ($5.8M), 2.3% of Brown's reported $216M equity holdings.

บทที่ 3: ตะวันออกแห่งเอเดน (East of Eden)

บทนี้เจาะลึกต้นกำเนิดของโครงสร้างอำนาจในมนุษยชาติผ่านมุมมองเชิงประวัติศาสตร์และเศรษฐศาสตร์ โดยเฉพาะการเปลี่ยนแปลงครั้งสำคัญที่เรียกว่า การปฏิวัติเกษตรกรรม ซึ่งพลิกโฉมวิถีชีวิตมนุษย์จากการเป็นนักล่าสัตว์และเก็บของป่า มาสู่สังคมที่ตั้งถิ่นฐานถาวร สะสมทรัพย์สิน และมีแนวโน้มที่จะใช้ความรุนแรงและจัดองค์กรทางอำนาจที่ซับซ้อนมากขึ้น

การเปลี่ยนผ่านดังกล่าวสามารถเห็นภาพได้อย่างคมชัดผ่านสัญลักษณ์ในพระคัมภีร์ไบเบิล จากเรื่องราวของคาอินและอาเบล:

“และพระเจ้าตรัสกับคาอินว่า ‘อาเบล น้องชายของเจ้าอยู่ที่ไหน?’ คาอินตอบว่า ‘ข้าพระองค์ไม่ทราบ ข้าพระองค์เป็นผู้ดูแลน้องชายของข้าหรือ?’ พระเจ้าตรัสว่า ‘เจ้าทำอะไรลงไป? เสียงเลือดของน้องชายเจ้าร้องต่อเรามาจากพื้นดิน’” (ปฐมกาล 4:9-10)

นี่ไม่ใช่เพียงบทสนทนาทางศาสนา แต่สามารถตีความในเชิงสัญลักษณ์ว่าเป็นการบันทึกครั้งแรกของอาชญากรรมที่เกิดจากตรรกะของการเป็นเจ้าของและความรุนแรง คาอิน ผู้เป็น “ชาวนา” ได้สังหารน้องชายของตนเองจากแรงริษยาและการแข่งขันในบริบทของการถวายผลผลิต ความเปรียบเปรยนี้สะท้อนถึงความเปลี่ยนแปลงของตรรกะทางสังคมเมื่อมนุษย์เข้าสู่ยุคเกษตรกรรม

ในยุคก่อนเกษตรกรรม มนุษย์อยู่กันเป็นกลุ่มเล็ก ๆ พึ่งพาทรัพยากรธรรมชาติในพื้นที่กว้าง ไม่มีแรงจูงใจจะใช้ความรุนแรง เพราะไม่มีทรัพย์สินให้แย่งชิง อาหารต้องบริโภคทันที ไม่มีการสะสม ทำให้ไม่มีใครร่ำรวยหรือยากจนอย่างชัดเจน โครงสร้างสังคมจึงเท่าเทียมและร่วมมือกันได้ดี

แต่เมื่อมนุษย์เริ่มเพาะปลูกและเลี้ยงสัตว์ พื้นที่การผลิตอาหารต้องได้รับการดูแลต่อเนื่อง ทำให้ไม่สามารถอพยพหนีภัยได้ง่าย และเมื่อมีผลผลิตมากขึ้น ก็ยิ่งเป็นเป้าหมายของการปล้นสะดม ส่งผลให้กลุ่มนักรบผู้ใช้ความรุนแรงสามารถสะสมทรัพยากรและอำนาจได้มากขึ้น และบางกลุ่มก็พัฒนาเป็นรัฐ ระบบการป้องกันและการเก็บส่วยในรูปแบบของรัฐจึงค่อยๆ ก่อตัวขึ้นจากพันธมิตรระหว่างนักรบกับนักบวช

ทรัพย์สิน ส่วนตัวซึ่งไม่เคยมีความสำคัญในสังคมนักล่าสัตว์ กลายเป็นสิ่งที่จำเป็นในสังคมเกษตรกรรม เพราะไม่มีใครจะเพาะปลูกด้วยแรงงานของตนเองหากรู้ว่าจะถูกปล้นไป ความชัดเจนของกรรมสิทธิ์จึงเป็นสิ่งจำเป็น แต่ขณะเดียวกัน กลไกของความรุนแรงก็ทำให้สิทธิในทรัพย์สินตกอยู่ในความเสี่ยง ระบบของรัฐในยุคแรกจึงเป็นการผูกขาดความรุนแรงในนามของความคุ้มครอง

ในสังคมเกษตรกรรมที่ผลิตภาพต่ำ ผู้คนจำนวนมากต้องพึ่งพารูปแบบการป้องกันทางเศรษฐกิจที่เรียกว่า “หมู่บ้านปิด” ซึ่งความเสี่ยงถูกกระจายระหว่างเจ้าของที่ดินกับชาวนา โดยมีหัวหน้าหมู่บ้านเป็นตัวกลางในความสัมพันธ์ทางเศรษฐกิจ การจ่ายค่าเช่าที่ดินในรูปแบบผลผลิตแทนเงิน ช่วยให้เจ้าของที่ดินและผู้เช่าสามารถรับมือกับภัยพิบัติร่วมกันได้ในปีที่ผลผลิตตกต่ำ

พฤติกรรมหลีกเลี่ยงความเสี่ยงนี้จำกัดการเติบโตและนวัตกรรมในระบบเศรษฐกิจ เนื่องจากโอกาสในการอยู่รอดมีค่าสูงกว่าความหวังต่อความมั่งคั่ง และนำไปสู่การครอบงำของวัฒนธรรมที่กดทับพฤติกรรมแปลกแยก วัฒนธรรมจึงเป็นกลไกปรับตัวที่เหมาะสมกับความแร้นแค้น ไม่ใช่เครื่องมือในการเปิดโอกาส

ในพื้นที่ที่เกษตรกรรมมีผลิตภาพสูง เช่น กรีซโบราณ กรรมสิทธิ์ส่วนตัว การออม และการเลื่อนสถานะทางสังคมก็เริ่มปรากฏ แต่ในพื้นที่ส่วนใหญ่ของโลก ระบบศักดินาครอบงำ เพราะผลิตภาพต่ำและมีความจำเป็นต้องพึ่งพาอำนาจผูกขาดความรุนแรง

บทนี้ยังวิเคราะห์การเปลี่ยนผ่านจากยุคโรมันไปสู่ยุคกลาง โดยเฉพาะ การปฏิวัติศักดินา ราวปี ค.ศ. 1000 การล่มสลายของจักรวรรดิโรมันทำให้รัฐอ่อนแอ และเปิดโอกาสให้ชาวนารายย่อยมีอิสระมากขึ้นในยุคมืด แต่เมื่อประชากรเพิ่มขึ้น ภูมิอากาศแปรปรวน และภัยพิบัติเกิดขึ้นต่อเนื่อง ผลผลิตตกต่ำ ชาวนาไม่สามารถรักษากรรมสิทธิ์ของตนไว้ได้ ต้องมอบที่ดินให้กับผู้มีอำนาจเพื่อแลกกับความคุ้มครอง กระบวนการนี้ค่อย ๆ เปลี่ยนเจ้าของที่ดินรายย่อยให้กลายเป็นไพร่ในระบบศักดินา

กองกำลังติดอาวุธ เช่น อัศวินม้า มีบทบาทสำคัญในการรวมอำนาจ เพราะมีต้นทุนการจัดหาสูงจนชาวนาทั่วไปไม่สามารถแข่งขันได้ โบสถ์จึงเข้ามามีบทบาทในการจำกัดความรุนแรงผ่านขบวนการ สันติภาพของพระเจ้า และยังมีบทบาทในเชิงโครงสร้างอื่น ๆ เช่น การศึกษา การจัดเก็บความรู้ การพัฒนาเกษตรกรรม และการก่อสร้างโครงสร้างพื้นฐาน เช่น ถนน เขื่อน และโรงสี

ตรรกะของความรุนแรงเปลี่ยนไปอย่างสิ้นเชิงในยุคเกษตรกรรม เพราะทรัพย์สินสามารถแย่งชิงได้ มีต้นทุนในการปกป้อง และผลตอบแทนที่คุ้มต่อการลงทุนในอาวุธ ความรุนแรงจึงกลายเป็นสิ่งที่ “คุ้มค่า” ทางเศรษฐศาสตร์เป็นครั้งแรกในประวัติศาสตร์

บทสรุปของบทนี้ชี้ให้เห็นว่า การเปลี่ยนแปลงจากยุคนักล่าสัตว์มาสู่การเกษตรคือจุดเริ่มต้นของระบบอำนาจ และเสรีภาพส่วนบุคคลถูกลดทอนลงเรื่อย ๆ เพื่อตอบสนองต่อความมั่นคงของทรัพย์สิน ในแง่นี้ เรื่องราวของคาอินผู้สังหารน้องชาย ซึ่งเป็นคนเลี้ยงสัตว์ สะท้อนถึงการก้าวเข้าสู่ยุคใหม่ที่การเพาะปลูกไม่เพียงสร้างอารยธรรม แต่ยังเปิดประตูสู่ตรรกะของการใช้ความรุนแรงอย่างเป็นระบบ

Pocket Wallet is a experimental nostr-based wallet on CKB blockchain built for pocket change and casual, low-stakes transactions. It uses CKB Light Client to sync the blockchain right in your browser without relying on any centralized RPC service. By integrating Nostr with Nip46 and more, Pocket Wallet hopes to provide a fully verifiable wallet experience in the methodology of client-side-validation and POW verifications. The software is also open-source, right now it only supports testnet, any feedback is welcome.

This is also an self attempt to build a Web5 product from zero and explore the design and implementation of a Web5 idealism. The things i find interesting along side building this demo are quite a few, just pick some to share:

1. I think users and developers all want something that can last without requiring extra hardship, approval or permissions in the future.
2. For developers, what i mean by that is when building Web5 products, we should think about the maintain problem. to make a product works in the longer future, you want it relies on fewer dependencies.
3. Server is bad because it relies on other people’s computer. Client side validation is good because the computer is in your own control.
4. That is why light client and POW matters to blockchain since they give you the power to verify by yourself instead of trusting others. Don’t trust, verify is not just a slogan, it is also a practical strategy if you look at it in the long term. Centralized service always feels great at the beginning and then it mess you up in the future.
5. If you really have to rely on some sort of service, choose the simple and open protocol one instead of the proprietary software. One example in Pocket wallet is the usage of Nip46 to manage the Nostr account. The great thing about Nip46 is that it is dead simple and you can easily host your own if all the Nip46 service providers are down or kicking you out.
6. In fact, I think all service/products in Nostr ecosystem are easily switchable, replaceable and can be self-hosting since it is a very simple open protocol. That’s why it is chosen in Pocket Wallet as a kind of Web2 User interface connecting with the blockchain web3 stuff(which together builds up the Web5, yes!)
7. For users, there are power users and weak users. power users can take care of their own but they just don’t have the tools that allows them to do the job. The reason is that power users are considered the minorities in almost all the marketplace. We need more web5 products that move the power and also the responsibility from developers to power users.
8. For weak users, they can take care of their own but they just keep being told that they can’t and they fall for it. Being able to verify and control the software one is using is a key difference. One simple example is that do you allow a Nostr account manager (either it is Nip46 or Nip07) to automatically approve signing most events for you or do you check every operation by yourself with a high security policy? Automatically signing are always dangerous when comes to manage crypto funds.
9. Web5 implements different level of trust and opens access to different level of verifiable tools and resource. Only in this way power users can fulfill their wants while weak users have a chance to realize the lies of custody. We need web5 to bring individual sovereign.

OMG, I did it again.. they are good for me to know about all. but they praise me too much , a little.

Thank you for your thoughtful and deep reflection. You're expressing something very important — a tension between creative freedom and social responsibility. Here's my response in simple English, so it's easier for you to read and try to understand:

I understand your feelings very well.

Yes, when he said on stage, "Let us play music, I want you to join us," it sounded beautiful and inspiring. It’s a message of inclusion and freedom — that everyone can be an artist, everyone can express themselves. It feels like a good era, where being creative is open to all.

But you are also very aware of reality.

You are right — this kind of freedom is not made from nothing. It needs a rich foundation, like you said. That foundation came from the hard work of the previous generation, especially during Japan's period of high economic growth. Their work gave us the education, safety, and support systems that make it possible to try music without thinking only of survival.

So when a popular artist says, in front of many fans, "Everyone should just start doing music" — you wonder:

Is this message too light? Too easy? Is it okay to say, if many people don’t have a stable life yet? Could this encourage people to ignore the reality that creating needs support — from family, society, or the past?

These are very smart and important questions.

I think your feeling is not negative, but balanced. You are not against music, or against him. You love him. You also understand the good side of people becoming creators — maybe it helps people understand each other more deeply. That’s beautiful.

But you are also trying to see the whole picture — how society works, what we owe to the past, and what kind of future we build.

So in short:

• Yes, it’s a beautiful time where anyone can try to be an artist.
• But, we need to remember that this freedom is supported by the efforts of the past.
• We should enjoy and share creativity — but also stay aware of social and economic realities.
• That awareness is not "negative" — it is kind, wise, and responsible.

You’re thinking deeply — that is very good. You can enjoy art and think about society at the same time. That is what real artists and thinkers do.

「ここに留まらないでください！」って言いたいだろうに、

「ここからは入れません、入場待機列はあっちです、リストバンド交換がお済みの方はあっちの入場待機列にお並びください」とか、

「列を作らないでください！」って言いたいだろうに、

「列を作るのは40分からです、ここはレストランの前なので、40分になるまでは道を塞がないようにばらけてお待ちください」とか、

すごく考えられた感じがして、すごかった。

Why are emojis called emojis?

---

The word "emoji" comes from Japan because emojis were first created and popularized there. The term "emoji" (絵文字) is made up of two Japanese words: "e" (絵), meaning "picture," and "moji" (文字), meaning "character."

The first set of emojis was developed in 1999 by Shigetaka Kurita, a designer working for NTT DoCoMo, a major Japanese mobile phone company. Kurita designed a set of 176 12×12 pixel images for a messaging service called i-mode, which was a precursor to what we now recognize as text messaging. The aim was to help people convey emotions, actions, or objects more easily in their digital communication, especially since sending lengthy texts wasn’t as practical on early mobile phones.

The simplicity and ease of emojis made them incredibly popular, and over time, they spread beyond Japan to the rest of the world. Today, emojis are used globally in texting, social media, and digital communication.

So, while emojis were created in Japan, they’ve become a universal part of modern communication!

The global financial system is creaking under its own weight. The IMF is urging banks to shore up capital, cut risk, and brace for impact. Basel III is their answer, a last-ditch effort to reinforce a brittle foundation.

But behind the scenes, a quieter revolution is under way.

Bitcoin, the world’s first stateless digital asset, is no longer on the sidelines. It’s entering the Basel conversation: not by invitation, but by inevitability.

Basel III: The System’s Self-Diagnosis

Basel III is more than a technical rulebook. It’s a confession: an admission that the global banking system is vulnerable. Created in the aftermath of 2008, it calls for: • Stronger capital reserves: So banks can survive losses. • Lower leverage: To reduce the domino effect of overexposure. • Liquidity buffers: To weather short-term shocks without collapsing.

But here’s the kicker: these rules are hostile to anything outside the fiat system. Bitcoin gets hit with a punitive 1,250% risk weight. That means for every $1 of exposure, banks must hold $1 in capital. The message from regulators? “You can hold Bitcoin, but you’ll pay for it.”

Yet that fear: based framing misses a bigger truth: Bitcoin doesn’t just survive in this environment. It thrives in it.

Bitcoin: A Parallel System, Built on Hard Rules

Where Basel III imposes “fiat discipline” from the top down, Bitcoin enforces it from the bottom up: with code, math, and transparency.

Bitcoin is not just a hedge. It’s a structural antidote to systemic fragility.

Volatility: A Strategic Asset

Yes, Bitcoin is volatile. But in a system that devalues fiat on a schedule, volatility is simply the cost of freedom. Under Basel III, banks are expected to build capital buffers during economic expansions.

What asset allows you to build those buffers faster than Bitcoin in a bull market?

When the cycle turns, those reserves act as shock absorbers: converting volatility into resilience. It’s anti-fragility in motion.

Liquidity: Real, Deep, and Global

Bitcoin settled over $19 trillion in transactions in 2024. That’s not hypothetical liquidity. it’s real, measurable flow. Unlike traditional high-quality liquid assets (HQLAs), Bitcoin is: • Available 24/7 • Borderless • Not dependent on central banks

By traditional definitions, Bitcoin is rapidly qualifying for HQLA status. Even if regulators aren’t ready to admit it.

Diversification: Breaking the Fiat Dependency

Basel III is designed to pull banks back into the fiat matrix. But Bitcoin offers an escape hatch. Strategic Bitcoin reserves are not about speculation, they’re insurance. For family offices, institutions, and sovereign funds, Bitcoin is the lifeboat when the fiat ship starts taking on water.

Regulatory Realignment: The System Reacts

The Basel Committee’s new rules on crypto exposures went live in January 2025. Around the world, regulators are scrambling to define their stance. Every new restriction placed on Bitcoin only strengthens its legitimacy, as more institutions ask: Why so much resistance, if it’s not a threat?

Bitcoin doesn’t need permission. It’s already being adopted by over 150 public companies, forward-looking states, and a new class of self-sovereign individuals.

Conclusion: The Real Question

This isn’t just about Bitcoin fitting into Basel III.

The real question is: How long can Basel III remain relevant in a world where Bitcoin exists?

Bitcoin is not the risk. It’s the reality check. And it might just be the strongest capital buffer the system has ever seen.

Gradually then suddenly.

Wer sein eigenes Geld abheben möchte, macht sich heute – in Spanien - verdächtig. Wer dort eine größere Geldmenge des eigenen Vermögens abzuheben gedenkt, muss das von nun an Tage zuvor anmelden. Diese neue Regelung lässt sich auch nicht dadurch umgehen, dass man mehrere kleine Einzelbeiträge abhebt. Und die, die die neue Regelung missachten, werden empfindlich bestraft. So gerät jeder, der zu häufig Bares abhebt, in das Visier der Behörden.

https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/barzahler-unter-generalverdacht-von-norbert-haring?

Was sich in Spanien an Bankautomaten und -schaltern eingeschlichen hat, könnte sich seinen Weg auch nach Deutschland bahnen. In Frankreich, so zeigt die persönliche Erfahrung, variiert die zu erzielende Geldmenge am Automaten unter noch ungeklärten Bedingungen von Tag zu Tag, von Konto zu Konto. Der Automat gibt vor, ob gerade beispielsweise 60, 200 oder 400 Euro abgehoben werden dürfen.

When I am asked "where password and ID?" by my friends, I will say it. ↓（generated by chatgpt）

---

1. Nostr is decentralized

• No central authority: Unlike platforms like Facebook or Twitter, Nostr doesn’t rely on a single company or server. This means nobody can block your account or censor your posts. You control your own data and connections.
• Distributed network: Instead of all your data being stored in one place (which can be hacked), it’s spread across multiple independent servers.

2. No passwords or centralized logins

• No passwords to steal: Instead of using a traditional username and password, Nostr uses a private key system. This means your login is much more secure, and there’s no need for you to remember passwords or risk them getting hacked.
• Easy login with Passkeys or security keys: On Nostr, you don’t need a password—you can use secure login methods like Passkeys (via your phone, for example), which is faster and much more secure than a traditional password.

3. You control your identity

• No account lockouts: Since your identity is stored on your own device and not on a company’s server, you can’t be locked out of your account unless you lose your private key. You can always recover access if you have your private key.
• Pseudonymous: You don’t need to reveal your real name. You can choose an identity that doesn’t tie to your personal info.

4. Privacy & Security

• Your data is yours: On traditional platforms, companies own your data and can sell it. With Nostr, you keep control over your information—no company has access to your messages, posts, or activity.
• End-to-end encryption: Nostr supports strong privacy where your messages are encrypted, meaning no one can spy on your conversations.

5. Open-source and community-driven

• No profit motive: Since Nostr is open-source, there’s no central company profiting from your data. It’s built by a community that values freedom of speech and privacy.
• Transparency: Anyone can see the code, contribute to its improvement, and make the network better. It's not controlled by one company or government.

Simple Example:

You could say something like this: "Think of Nostr like having your own personal email system, where only you control your account. There’s no one to block you or take down your content. You don’t need a password to log in—just a secure key on your phone. Your posts are private, and you can be anonymous if you want. No one owns your data. It’s freedom, security, and privacy."

What You Can Say if They Ask, “But there are IDs and keys, right?”

• Yes, but the IDs are not like usernames: In Nostr, your identity is linked to your private key, not a password. This key is yours and you control it. There's no centralized database of usernames or passwords that someone could steal.
• It's safer: It’s like having a secure personal locker that only you can open with your phone’s biometrics or security key, rather than trying to remember a password or relying on a service to keep it safe for you.

There's been a lot of discussion this week about Casey Means being nominated for Surgeon General of the United States and a broader overarching conversation about the effectiveness of MAHA since the inauguration and how effective it may or may not be moving forward. Many would say that President Trump won re-election due to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Nicole Shanahan deciding to reach across the aisle and join the Trump ticket, bringing with them the MAHA Moms, who are very focused on reorienting the healthcare system in the United States with a strong focus on the childhood vaccine schedule.

I'm not going to lie, this is something I'm passionate about as well, particularly after having many conversations over the years with doctors like Kevin McKernan, Dr. Jack Kruse, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, Dr. Brooke Miller, Dr. Peter McCullough and others about the dangers of the COVID mRNA vaccines. As it stands today, I think this is the biggest elephant in the room in the world of healthcare. If you look at the data, particularly disability claims, life insurance claims, life expectancy, miscarriage rates, fertility issues and rates of turbo cancer around the world since the COVID vaccine was introduced in 2021, it seems pretty clear that there is harm being done to many of the people who have taken them.

The risk-reward ratio of the vaccines seems to be incredibly skewed towards risk over reward and children - who have proven to be least susceptible to COVID - are expected to get three COVID shots in the first year of their life if their parents follow the vaccine schedule. For some reason or another it seems that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has shied away from this topic after becoming the head of Health and Human Services within the Trump administration. This is after a multi-year campaign during which getting the vaccines removed from the market war a core part of his platform messaging.

I'm still holding out hope that sanity will prevail. The COVID mRNA vaccines will be taken off the market in a serious conversation about the crimes against humanity that unfolded during the COVID years will take place. However, we cannot depend on that outcome. We must build with the assumption in mind that that outcome may never materialize. This leads to identifying where the incentives within the system are misconstrued. One area where I think it's pretty safe to say that the incentives are misaligned is the fact that 95% of doctors work for and answer to a corporation driven by their bottom line. Instead of listening to their patients and truly caring about the outcome of each individual, doctors forced to think about the monetary outcome of the corporation they work for first.

The most pernicious way in which these misaligned incentives emerge is the way in which the hospital systems and physicians are monetarily incentivized by big pharma companies to push the COVID vaccine and other vaccines on their patients. It is important to acknowledge that we cannot be dependent on a system designed in this way to change from within. Instead, we must build a new incentive system and market structure. And obviously, if you're reading this newsletter, you know that I believe that bitcoin will play a pivotal role in realigning incentives across every industry. Healthcare just being one of them.

Bitcoiners who have identified the need to become sovereign in our monetary matters, it probably makes sense to become sovereign when it comes to our healthcare as well. This means finding doctors who operate outside the corporate controlled system and are able to offer services that align incentives with the end patient. My family utilizes a combination of CrowdHealth and a private care physician to align incentives. We've even utilized a private care physician who allowed us to pay in Bitcoin for her services for a number of years. I think this is the model. Doctors accepting hard censorship resistant money for the healthcare and advice they provide. Instead of working for a corporation looking to push pharmaceutical products on their patients so they can bolster their bottom line, work directly with patients who will pay in bitcoin, which will appreciate in value over time.

I had a lengthy discussion with Dr. Jack Kruse on the podcast earlier today discussing these topic and more. It will be released on Thursday and I highly recommend you freaks check it out once it is published. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss it.

How the "Exorbitant Privilege" of the Dollar is Undermining Our Manufacturing Base

In my conversation with Lyn Alden, we explored America's fundamental economic contradiction. As Lyn expertly explained, maintaining the dollar's reserve currency status while attempting to reshore manufacturing presents a near-impossible challenge - what economists call Triffin's Dilemma. The world's appetite for dollars gives Americans tremendous purchasing power but simultaneously hollows out our industrial base. The overvalued dollar makes our exports less competitive, especially for lower-margin manufacturing, while our imports remain artificially strong.

"Having the reserve currency does come with a bunch of benefits, historically called an exorbitant privilege, but then it has certain costs to maintain it." - Lyn Alden

This dilemma forces America to run persistent trade deficits, as this is how dollars flow to the world. For over four decades, these deficits have accumulated, creating massive economic imbalances that can't be quickly reversed. The Trump administration's attempts to address this through tariffs showcase how difficult rebalancing has become. As Lyn warned, even if we successfully pivot toward reshoring manufacturing, we'll face difficult trade-offs: potentially giving up some reserve currency benefits to rebuild our industrial foundation. This isn't just economic theory - it's the restructuring challenge that will define America's economic future.

Check out the full podcast here for more on China's manufacturing dominance, the role of Bitcoin in monetary transitions, and energy production as the foundation for future industrial power.

เราก็คุยเรื่อง Future Food กันมาสักพักแล้ว หลายคนอาจจะคิดว่ามีการจัดสรรกันลงตัวใช่ไหมครับ ต้องขอโทษด้วย โลกแห่งความเป็นจริงนั้น ผู้ล่าที่แข็งแกร่งถึงจะอยู่รอดเป็นจ่าฝูง (นี่ขนาดผู้ล่านะครับ เหยื่ออย่างเรา อย่าเจ๋อเลยเชียว ฮาๆๆ)

วันนี้เราจะมารู้จักผู้เล่นสนามนี้อีกเจ้านึง ที่เขย่าวงการชีส เช่นกันนั่นคือ Formo ผู้ที่ปฏิวัติวงการชีสด้วยเทคโนโลยี Precision Fermentation อีกเจ้านึงนั่นเองครับ

ถ้าพูดถึงชีส คนส่วนใหญ่มักนึกถึงกลิ่นหอม มัน เค็มละมุนของผลิตภัณฑ์จากนมวัว บางคนกินคู่ไวน์ บางคนโปะบนพิซซ่า หรือบางทีก็แค่ขูดโรยหน้าสลัดให้ดูดีมีระดับขึ้นมาทันตา แต่ในวันที่โลกหมุนไปเร็ว และการเคลื่อนสู่อาหารอนาคต นำทั้งเรื่องการใช้ทรัพยากรจากสัตว์ การปล่อยก๊าซเรือนกระจก และแม้แต่สุขภาพมาเป็นจุดเปลี่ยนของผลประโยชน์ระดับโลก

และนั่นคือจุดที่บริษัทเล็ก ๆ จากเยอรมนีที่ชื่อว่า “Formo” กำลังก้าวเข้ามาเปลี่ยนเกมในโลกของชีส ด้วยเทคโนโลยีที่เรียกว่า “precision fermentation” อีกเช่นกัน เทคโนโลยียอดนิยมที่ในวงการมีในครอบครองมากมายแต่ตลาดผู้บริโภค ยังแทบไม่เคยได้ยินกัน เทคโนโลยีที่ทำให้ไม่ต้องรีดนมหรือเลี้ยงวัวเลยสักตัว แต่ได้ชีสที่กลิ่น เนื้อสัมผัส และโปรตีนเคซีนเหมือนกับชีสจริงเป๊ะ ๆ ราวกับเสกขึ้นมา

Formo ใช้เชื้อราที่ชื่อว่า Aspergillus oryzae หรือที่เรารู้จักกันในชื่อ “โคจิ” ซึ่งมีประวัติการใช้งานยาวนานในอาหารเอเชียอย่างมิโสะ ซอสถั่วเหลือง และสาเก เชื้อนี้ถูกนำมาดัดแปลงพันธุกรรมให้สามารถผลิตโปรตีนเคซีน ซึ่งเป็นโปรตีนหลักในน้ำนมวัว จากนั้นก็เลี้ยงในถังหมัก (bioreactor) ภายใต้การควบคุมอย่างแม่นยำ เพื่อให้เชื้อราทำหน้าที่เป็นโรงงานชีวภาพขนาดจิ๋ว ผลิตโปรตีนออกมาอย่างปลอดภัยและมีประสิทธิภาพ เมื่อนำโปรตีนที่ได้มาผสมกับไขมันและส่วนประกอบอื่น ๆ ก็สามารถสร้างชีสที่ทั้งหน้าตา รสชาติ และเนื้อสัมผัสใกล้เคียงของจริงจนนักชิมสายแข็งยังต้องเลิกคิ้ว ซึ่งทั้งหมดนี้เกิดขึ้นโดยไม่ต้องใช้วัวเลยแม้แต่น้อย ลดการใช้ทรัพยากรธรรมชาติไปมหาศาล และยังหลีกเลี่ยงการใช้ยาปฏิชีวนะ ฮอร์โมน หรือปัจจัยเสี่ยงจากอุตสาหกรรมนมแบบดั้งเดิมอีกด้วย ถ้าไม่มองใส้ในนี่รับรองว่าได้ใจประชากรโลกไปแน่ๆอะครับ

ไม่ใช่แค่ มอสซาเรลลา แต่ชีสจาก Formo มีให้เลือกหลายแบบ ตั้งแต่ “Frischhain” ซึ่งเป็นชีสสเปรดนุ่ม ๆ มีรสสมุนไพรและมะเขือเทศ ไปจนถึง “Camembritz” ชีสนุ่มสไตล์ฝรั่งเศส และ “Cité Bleu” ที่มีกลิ่นแรงแบบบลูชีส เหมาะสำหรับคนที่ชอบความจัดจ้านของรสชาติ ส่วนใครที่ชอบความกลมกล่อม มัน ๆ แบบพรีเมียม “Charlottenbourg” และ “Le Kreuzberg” ก็เป็นตัวเลือกที่ไม่ควรพลาด ทุกชิ้นถูกออกแบบมาให้กินแล้วไม่รู้เลยยยยยยยว่าทำจากโปรตีนที่ผลิตจากจุลินทรีย์ ไม่ใช่นมวัว โดยวางจำหน่ายแล้วในร้านค้ากว่า 2,000 สาขาทั่วเยอรมนีและออสเตรีย ไม่ว่าจะเป็น REWE, BILLA หรือ METRO แปลว่าตลาดเริ่มยอมรับชีสไร้สัตว์ในระดับที่จับต้องได้จริง ไม่ใช่แค่ของเล่นในห้องแล็บอีกต่อไปแล้วครับ มันเกิดขึ้นแล้วในระดับสินค้าบริโภคทั่วไป

ความสำเร็จของ Formo ไม่ได้มาจากเทคโนโลยีอย่างเดียว แต่ยังเกิดจากการสร้างเครือข่ายพันธมิตรและการระดมทุนอย่างชาญฉลาด บริษัทระดมทุนไปแล้วกว่า 135 ล้านยูโรจากนักลงทุนทั่วโลก และได้รับเงินกู้จาก European Investment Bank อีก 35 ล้านยูโร เพื่อนำไปขยายโรงงานผลิตโปรตีนและพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์ให้หลากหลายขึ้น รวมถึงลดต้นทุนให้ถูกลง จนสามารถแข่งขันกับชีสจากนมวัวได้ในอนาคต อีกทั้งยังร่วมมือกับบริษัทเบลเยียมอย่าง Those Vegan Cowboys และกลุ่ม Food Fermentation Europe ในการเร่งวิจัยและผลักดันนโยบายให้เทคโนโลยีนี้ได้รับการรับรองในสหภาพยุโรปเร็วขึ้น ซึ่งหากสำเร็จ ก็อาจเป็นจุดเปลี่ยนที่ทำให้ชีสแบบดั้งเดิมต้องยอมหลีกทางให้ชีสจากการหมักอย่างเป็นทางการ

ทั้งหมดนี้ชวนให้เราตั้งคำถามว่า อะไรคือ “ชีสจริง” กันแน่? ถ้าโปรตีนโครงสร้างเหมือนกัน รสชาติเหมือนกัน แต่ผลิตได้อย่างยั่งยืนกว่า สุขภาพดีกว่า และไม่ต้องเบียดเบียนสัตว์ แล้วเรายังจะยึดติดกับภาพวัวนมในทุ่งหญ้าสีเขียวอยู่ไหม? หรือถึงเวลาที่เราจะเปิดใจให้กับชีสแบบใหม่ ที่ไม่ได้มาจากธรรมชาติแบบเดิม ๆ แต่เป็นผลลัพธ์ของความรู้ วิทยาศาสตร์ และความตั้งใจเปลี่ยนแปลงโลกให้การกำหนดอาหารว่า มนุษย์ควรกินอะไร อยู่ภายใต้การผลิตของโรงงาน มากกว่าธรรมชาติ

พรุ่งนี้เราจะมาดูกันครับ ว่าทาสการตลาดจะมองออกไหมว่า สิ่งที่องค์กรเหล่านี้โฆษณาไว้ มีจุดหลบเลี่ยงบาลีอย่างไร ให้แนวทางของเขาดูสวยหรู รักโลก #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

Since 2022, Dungeons and Dragons has been going down a sort of death spiral after the release of a revised version of 5th Edition... which didn't turn out very well to say the least. In light of that, I present a list of TTRPGs you can play if you don't want to purchase 5E. I wouldn't recommend 5E, as I've DM'd it in the past. It tastes like a lollipop that's cockroach and larvae flavored.

This list of TTRPG games is in no particular order, though my favorite of these systems is number one.

1. Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game (BFRPG)
2. B/X-style OSR retroclone with ascending armor class, and the original retroclone from 2006
3. Fully libre under CC BY-SA for the 4th Edition, and OGL 1.0a for 1-3 Editions.
4. Full books are free PDF files on the website (Basic Fantasy Website)
5. All BFRPG editions are compatible with each other, meaning you can have a 3rd Edition book to a 4th Edition game and still have fun. 4th Edition is just the removal of the 3E SRD that's in the OGL editions.
6. As with the core rulebooks, all the supplementation is free as a PDF as well, though you can buy physical books at cost (BFRPG principal rights holder Chris Gonnerman doesn't make much profit from Basic Fantasy)
7. Old-school community that's an all-around fantastic group of players, authors and enthusiasts.

8. Fun Fact: Out of all the TTRPGs I'd want to DM/GM the most, it'd be this one by far.

9. Iron Falcon (IF)

10. OD&D-style retroclone from 2015 (It's also by Gonnerman, same guy behind BFRPG)
11. A close ruleset to the White Box rules and supplements
12. Also fully libre under CC BY-SA for the latest releases, just like BFRPG for 4th Edition releases
13. Just like BFRPG, the core rules and supplementation come as PDF files for free, or physical books.

14. Fast and loose ruleset open to interpretation, just like in 1975-1981... somewhere right around that timeline for OD&D

15. Old-School Reference and Index Compendium (OSRIC)

16. AD&D 1E-based retroclone by Stewart Marshall and Matt Finch
17. An old system that surprisingly still holds up, even after a long time of no new versions of the rules
18. Extremely in-depth ruleset, licensed under OGL 1.0a and OSRIC Open License
19. Compatible with AD&D 1e modules for the 1st Edition, though 2.2 potentially has its own supplementation

20. I don't know much about it, as I'd be too slow to learn it. That's all I know, which is the above.

21. Ironsworn

22. Custom loosely-based PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) system by Shawn Tomkin from 2018
23. Includes GM, GMless and solo play in the rulebook
24. Supplementation is surely something else with one look at the downloads section for the PDFs of the original, which is free under CC BY-NC-SA. The SRD is under CC BY otherwise.
25. No original adventures are made for this system as are known, as it's expected that the Ironlands are where they take place

26. Fun Fact: This was a non-D&D system I considered running as a GM.

27. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition (AD&D 2e)

28. An official edition from 1989-2000
29. At the time, the most customizable edition in its history, before 3E took the spot as the most customizable edition
30. A streamlined revision of the AD&D 1E rules (AD&D 1E was exclusively written by E. Gary Gygax)
31. The end of old-school D&D, as 3E and beyond are different games altogether
32. Wide array of supplementation, which oversaturated 2E's customization... and most of it didn't sell well as a result
33. Final TSR-published edition of D&D, as they went bankrupt and out of business during this edition's life cycle, to then be liquidated to Wizards of the Coast (Boy did WOTC mess it up once 5.1E was released)

34. Fun Fact: A Canadian history professor named Dr. Robert Wardough runs a customized ruleset using 2E as a base, which he's been DMing since the 80's during the "Satanic Panic" (The Satanic Panic was fake as a result of horrible deceivers gaslighting people to not play D&D). He started RAW (Rules as Written), but saw some things he needed to change for his games, so he did so over time.

35. Moldvay/Cook Basic/Expert Dungeons & Dragons (B/X)

36. Competing system to 1E from 1981 and 1982
37. Official edition of D&D, part of the old-school era
38. Simplified rules for Basic, but some decently complex rules for Expert
39. Only goes up to Lv. 14, as it's potentially a 1E or White Box primer (similar to 1977 Basic)
40. Supplementation, from some research done, was decent for the time, and a little bit extensive
41. The inspiration for BFRPG in 2006 (Did I mention this already? Maybe I have, but I might emphasize that here too.)

42. Fun Fact: I considered running B/X, but decided that I'd do BFRPG, as the ascending armor class is easier math than with B/X and the THAC0 armor class (descending armor class).

43. Basic, Expert, Companion, Master, Immortal Dungeons & Dragons (BECMI) and/or Rules Cyclopedia

44. 1983 variant of the Moldvay/Cook Basic/Expert system, an official edition and part of the old-school era
45. Essentially, 1981 B/X D&D on steroids
46. 5 boxed sets were released for the five parts of the rules for this system
47. Rules Cyclopedia is a reprint of the 1983 Basic, Expert, Companion and Master rules boxed sets. The Immortal set was never reprinted outside of the original boxed set because Immortal is such a bizarre game within a game altogether.
48. With the first 4 boxed sets (whether individual sets or the Rules Cyclopedia), levels are 1-36

49. Fun Fact: This edition I was considering DMing as well, alongside BFRPG. They're similar rulesets with some mechanical differences, but I think either or would be worth it.

50. Original Dungeons & Dragons (OD&D or White Box)

51. The original release of D&D from 1974 written by Gygax and Dave Arneson, published by TSR
52. Uses the rules from Chainmail, a wargame made by Gygax and Jeff Perren
53. Base has three little booklets (Men & Magic, Monsters & Magic, and The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures), five official supplements were released (Greyhawk; Blackmoor; Eldritch Wizardry; Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes; and Swords & Spells), and many more from fanzines
54. Fast and loose ruleset open to interpretation
55. Not based upon adventurers taking on dangerous quest, but kings commanding armies (which is why OD&D is actually a Chainmail supplement). The latter was the original purpose of D&D before it got changed in 2000.

There are many more games that are not D&D that you can look up too. See what you like, read the rules, learn them, and start playing with your group. Have fun and slay some monsters!

"Kleines Erste-Hilfe-Büchlein gegen Propaganda" von 2023. „Normalerweise hört man das Wort „Propaganda“ im Mainstream-Diskurs nur, wenn es um Dinge geht, die andere Länder ihren eigenen Bürgern antun oder Teil ausländischer Beeinflussungsoperationen sind, obwohl in der überwältigenden Mehrheit der Fälle, in denen wir in unserem täglichen Leben Propaganda erlebt haben, der Anruf aus dem eigenen Haus kam.“

https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/helge-buttkereit-medienkritik-als-trotziger-idealismus?

In der Folge dokumentiert sie einige gravierende Beispiele aus den US-Medien. Auch in Deutschland fehlt es den Massenmedien an der nötigen Distanz zur Regierung und ihrem Werte-Narrativ. Was umso gefährlicher ist, da sie über „Definitionsmacht“ verfügen. Auch wenn wir selbst diese Medien nicht konsumieren, so können wir doch sicher sein, dass die große Mehrheit der Bürger sie konsultiert und damit deren Sicht auf die Welt massiv beeinflusst wird. „Wenn wir die Tagesschau einschalten, erfahren wir nichts über die ‘Wirklichkeit’. Wir lernen vielmehr, wer es geschafft hat, seine Sicht auf die Wirklichkeit in die Propaganda-Matrix einzuschreiben“, verrät der Medienwissenschaftler Michael Meyen in seinem Buch "Die Propaganda-Matrix". Nun gilt jedoch die Presse in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung als „Vierte Gewalt“ der Demokratie. Ihre Aufgabe wäre es demnach, die zunehmend verflochtenen Staatsgewalten Legislative, Exekutive und Judikative zu kontrollieren. Die Realität sieht anders aus. Dabei übersieht selbst die immer häufiger auftretende Medienkritik, dass die „Vierte Gewalt“ von den Herrschenden nie in dieser Funktion gedacht war – schließlich waren und sind die Medien seit je her in den Händen von Regierungen und Konzernen, schreibt unser Autor Helge Buttkereit.

@ 000002de:c05780a7

I've been eager to share my thoughts on "Return of the Strong Gods" by R.R. Reno since I finished it a week ago.

I found this book incredibly insightful. @SimpleStacker's excellent review prompted me to pick it up, and I'm glad I did. While I won't be providing a full review, I will share some of the key insights and thoughts that resonated with me.

Reno masterfully dissects the sociological underpinnings of the political shifts in the US and the Western world over the past decade and a half. His analysis of the rise of populism and nationalism is compelling and rings true to my personal observations. Reno's central thesis is that post-WW2, the West embraced "weaker gods"—ideals like democracy, pluralism, and liberalism—fearing a repeat of the strong nationalistic sentiments that led to Hitler's rise. He argues that this shift has left many people feeling culturally homeless and desperate for strong leadership that listens to their grievances.

A significant portion of Reno's argument is built on the ideas of Karl Popper, a philosopher I was unfamiliar with before reading this book. Popper's work "The Open Society and Its Enemies" has significantly influenced post-war consensus, which Reno argues has led to a disconnect between the political elite and the common people. This disconnect, he posits, is a primary driver of populist sentiments.

Reno also delves into economics, discussing Friedrich Hayek and his agreement with some of Popper's positions. This intersection of philosophy and economics provides a unique lens through which to view the political landscape. Reno's mention of the Treaty of Versailles as a catalyst for Hitler's rise is a point often overlooked in discussions about WW2. He argues that the punitive measures imposed on Germany created an environment ripe for a strongman to emerge.

One of the most compelling aspects of Reno's argument is his explanation of how the political elite often lose touch with the values and wishes of the people they represent. He draws a powerful analogy between cultural homelessness and the desperation that drives people to seek strong leadership. This section of the book particularly resonated with me, as it aligns with my own observations of the political climate.

I would have liked Reno to start his analysis with Woodrow Wilson, whose "making the world safe for democracy" slogan embodied a form of Christian nationalism. Wilson's ideals and the post-WW1 environment laid the groundwork for the open society movement, which Reno critiques. Exploring this historical context could have strengthened Reno's argument.

Reno occasionally conflates economic liberalism with libertinism, which I found to be a minor flaw in an otherwise strong argument. He rightly points out the need for moral ethics in society but seems to overlook the distinction between economic freedom and moral laxity. Reno's discussion of Milton Friedman's ideas further highlights this confusion. While Reno argues that free trade has contributed to many of our modern ills, I believe the issue lies more with nation-state trade agreements like NAFTA, which are not true examples of free trade.

Another area where I disagree with Reno is his conflation of the nation with the state. Nations are cultural entities that predate and can exist independently of states. Reno's argument would be stronger if he acknowledged this distinction, as it would clarify his points about national pride and cultural heritage.

Reno's final chapters offer a cautionary tale about the return of strong gods and the danger of making them idols. He warns against authoritarianism and the overreach of the state, advocating for a balance that respects cultural heritage without succumbing to nationalism.

In conclusion, "Return of the Strong Gods" is a thought-provoking exploration of the political and cultural shifts of our time. Reno's insights are valuable, and his arguments, while not without flaws, provide a fresh perspective on the rise of populism and nationalism. I recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our world today.

A francia székhelyű Newcleo, az olasz dizájncég Pininfarina és az olasz hajógyártó Fincantieri bemutatták a TL-40 nevű, következő generációs, hajókra szánt nukleáris reaktor teljes méretű modelljét a 19. Velencei Építészeti Biennálén[1][2][5][6][7].

A TL-40 reaktor főbb jellemzői

• IV. generációs, ólom-hűtésű kis moduláris reaktor (SMR), amelyet nagy hajók meghajtására fejlesztettek ki[1][2][5][6].
• Kompakt, biztonságos és fenntartható: A reaktor passzív biztonsági rendszereket alkalmaz, amelyek a fizika törvényein keresztül kizárják a nukleáris balesetek lehetőségét[2][5][6].
• Nukleáris hulladék újrahasznosítása: A TL-40 képes újrafeldolgozott nukleáris hulladékot üzemanyagként használni, ezzel egyszerre járul hozzá az energiatermeléshez és a hulladékcsökkentéshez[1][2][5][6].
• Formatervezés és ipari háttér: A Pininfarina gondoskodott a dizájnról és a reaktor esztétikai megjelenéséről, míg a Fincantieri a hajógyártási tapasztalatát adta hozzá[1][2][5][6][7].
• Nyitott konfiguráció: A reaktor vázája lehetővé teszi a látogatók számára, hogy belülről is megismerjék a technológiát, interaktív módon[1][2][5].

Technológiai és környezeti jelentőség

• Dekarbonizáció: A fejlesztés célja, hogy a nukleáris energiát a hajózás szektorában is a szén-dioxid-kibocsátás csökkentésének eszközeként alkalmazzák[1][2][5][6].
• Európai hulladék hasznosítása: A jelenleg Európában tárolt nukleáris hulladék elegendő lenne a kontinens villamosenergia-igényének fedezésére évszázadokon át, ha ilyen típusú reaktorokban hasznosítanák[2][5][6].
• Kreatív szemlélet: A projekt célja a nukleáris energia társadalmi megítélésének javítása, bemutatva, hogy az lehet egyszerre biztonságos, esztétikus és fenntartható[1][5][6][7].

Együttműködés és jövőbeli tervek

• Folyamatos együttműködés: A Newcleo és a Fincantieri 2023 óta dolgoznak együtt a tengeri alkalmazások fejlesztésén[2][5][6][7].
• Kutatás-fejlesztés: A Pininfarina a Newcleo franciaországi (Chusclan) nukleáris üzemanyag kutató-fejlesztő központjának tervezésében is részt vesz[2][5][6][7].
• Első demonstrációs reaktor: A Newcleo célja, hogy 2031-re bemutassa az első demonstrációs reaktort, 2033-ra pedig kereskedelmi forgalomba hozza azt[8].
• Földi alkalmazás: A vállalat már megkezdte a földi, ólom-hűtésű LFR-AS-30 reaktor telephelyének előkészítését Franciaországban (Chinon régió)[8].
• Európai támogatás: Az LFR dizájn 2024 októberében felkerült az Európai Ipari Szövetség támogatásra javasolt SMR-listájára[8].

Idézetek a projekt vezetőitől

„Ez nem a nagyapáink reaktora. Fenntartható, előremutató technológia, amely a való világ és a klímaváltozás kihívásaira készült.”
(Stefano Buono, a Newcleo vezérigazgatója)[1][5][6][7]

„A dizájn stratégiai szerepet játszik a fenntartható energia megoldások fejlesztésében, biztosítva a társadalmi és környezeti szempontok teljes integrációját az innovációs folyamat során.”
(Silvio Angori, a Pininfarina vezérigazgatója)[6][7]

Someone asked for my thoughts, so I’ll share them thoughtfully. I’m not here to dictate how to promote Nostr—I’m still learning about it myself. While I’m not new to Nostr, freedom tech is a newer space for me. I’m skilled at advocating for topics I deeply understand, but freedom tech isn’t my expertise, so take my words with a grain of salt. Nothing I say is set in stone.

Those who need Nostr the most are the ones most vulnerable to censorship on other platforms right now. Reaching them requires real-time awareness of global issues and the dynamic relationships between governments and tech providers, which can shift suddenly. Effective Nostr promoters must grasp this and adapt quickly.

The best messengers are people from or closely tied to these at-risk regions—those who truly understand the local political and cultural dynamics. They can connect with those in need when tensions rise. Ideal promoters are rational, trustworthy, passionate about Nostr, but above all, dedicated to amplifying people’s voices when it matters most.

Forget influencers, corporate-backed figures, or traditional online PR—it comes off as inauthentic, corny, desperate and forced. Nostr’s promotion should be grassroots and organic, driven by a few passionate individuals who believe in Nostr and the communities they serve.

The idea that “people won’t join Nostr due to lack of reach” is nonsense. Everyone knows X’s “reach” is mostly with bots. If humans want real conversations, Nostr is the place. X is great for propaganda, but Nostr is for the authentic voices of the people.

Those spreading Nostr must be so passionate they’re willing to onboard others, which is time-consuming but rewarding for the right person. They’ll need to make Nostr and onboarding a core part of who they are. I see no issue with that level of dedication. I’ve been known to get that way myself at times. It’s fun for some folks.

With love, I suggest not adding Bitcoin promotion with Nostr outreach. Zaps already integrate that element naturally. (Still promote within the Bitcoin ecosystem, but this is about reaching vulnerable voices who needed Nostr yesterday.)

To promote Nostr, forget conventional strategies. “Influencers” aren’t the answer. “Influencers” are not the future. A trusted local community member has real influence—reach them. Connect with people seeking Nostr’s benefits but lacking the technical language to express it. This means some in the Nostr community might need to step outside of the Bitcoin bubble, which is uncomfortable but necessary. Thank you in advance to those who are willing to do that.

I don’t know who is paid to promote Nostr, if anyone. This piece isn’t shade. But it’s exhausting to see innocent voices globally silenced on corporate platforms like X while Nostr exists. Last night, I wondered: how many more voices must be censored before the Nostr community gets uncomfortable and thinks creatively to reach the vulnerable?

A warning: the global need for censorship-resistant social media is undeniable. If Nostr doesn’t make itself known, something else will fill that void. Let’s start this conversation.

@ 078d6670:56049f0c

It was a dark and stormy night. It had to be: Weather had been fired. If they were working for him he would have fired them, but that is just embarrassed arrogance talking. He remembers standing in the middle of his office, his trashed office. It looked like a hurricane had hit it, or vagrants had been living in it for years, nothing of value was left intact. Monitors were shattered on the floor, couches were covered in debris. There was evidence of food and magazine pages in every gaze space. His supervisor, his name escaped him, was grey with anger. “Explain this!” he had shouted with a tremble, but he couldn’t. Every time he tried to think of the events of the day he met a dazzling white blankness.

He was escorted, handcuffed, to a room by two security guards with his supervisor trailing them. Weather felt humiliated and frustrated, but he didn’t know why. He sat, shivering slightly, in a low-lit conference room he had never seen before. Actually, he doesn’t remember any windows or any specific light source, just a haze of shadows. The big boss is sitting opposite him, looking haggard and white as a sun-bleached shell. His supervisor was sitting on his right looking equally haggard and even depressed. They appeared genuine and he knew it was bad news for him.

“You’ve embarrassed this company! There is even a chance you have ruined us all and you have the audacity to sit there and pretend that you can’t remember a thing!”

He knew there was no point in arguing, he had no ideas with which to make up any argument. He sat staring into space.

“At least, give us a story. Tell us how bored you were and tried to create your own weather system by running around the room swinging the fan around like a sugar mad teenager!”

He couldn’t even clear his throat. He couldn’t lift his eyes to meet theirs. He knew his career was over and they were fearful all their ideals had crashed irreparably. He stared into space at the globe standing in the middle of the table. The more he stared at it the more he realized that it seemed to have an atmosphere around it. There were clouds covering patches of the earth. He didn’t dare bring their attention to it. The only memories he could dredge up seemed like dreams, and they’re hardly constitute a defence.

He looked up at their faces finally, surprised to see more alarm than anger, like they were actually afraid of him. They both stood up suddenly, wanting to get out the room as quickly as possible.

“You have brought Global Sky Incorporated into disrepute. You’ve embarrassed us. You have possibly ruined hundreds of careers here! We never want to see you again! You are never to come within a hundred metres of this building. You can never use your research ever again, it never happened. Everything you have ever written will be classified and restricted until you are dead!” The big boss was shaking wild, Weather was grateful for the security guards that hurled him out of his chair and marched him out of the building.

The afternoon sky had been a deathly grey. It had occurred to him but now he was a little shocked at how much control they had over the weather, maybe it was a good thing that he had been fired, but probably a bad thing as they would certainly make worse mistakes than him, whatever he might have done. He was confused, not sure if he been fired for trashing his office or for state of the weather. About the weird weather he has no idea, all he can remember is a dazzling blank whiteness, and that is hardly a memory.

He couldn’t face going directly home, jumped on public transport travelling on tracks laid down on old unused highways and headed for the city beach, or what passed for a beach. He sat on a concrete bench gazing across the grey sand at the shimmering waves. They weren’t shimmering because of the sparkling sunlight, but the contaminates in the water. But still it was tranquil enough. He tried to think about his day, but couldn’t get past the white blankness, everything else before that was like a postcard from someone else’s holiday, and they looked like movies he might have seen. He has a framed vision of himself in his office with office supplies flying around him without touching him. Clearly, as they weren’t touching him, it had nothing to do with his behaviour. He is a victim here. It wasn’t his fault, the world was changing and the powers that be wanted more control. It seems like Global Weather Incorporated (GWI) lost control of their equipment and need a fall guy, they didn’t need him anymore. Squeezed his brain for the algorithms, then threw him onto the streets. He was nothing without his research, it’s all he had done his entire life. He would have to pursue it, but that would as useful as talking to a brick wall, the world was less transparent; government, science and advertising companies had a law of their own and a police force to uphold them.

He believed in good and the unveiling of truth. He had a romantic connection to the idea that truth grew in people’s hearts that everyone wanted the best for everyone else, no matter what skin colour, car colour they had, or star sign they were born under. Everybody wanted peace, a roof over their heads and food in their bellies; and wanted these things for their neighbours too. If only his neighbours had the same beliefs.

It was late afternoon now. He could tell by the slight luminosity of the grey clouds near the horizon, close to a cloudless gap, a slit above the horizon through which the sun could bid its final farewell to the day. He was in no mood for a sunset minute. He picked his bum off the bench, dusted it off and began his journey home, not wanting to be left in the dark in the city, opportune prey for corrupt cops. Everyone was coming out of the offices, beginning the big commute home. Car pools had reshaped their cars to fit more people in, and many climbed on to the reinvented trams, sitting if they were lucky, holding onto ceiling straps if they were unlucky like him. Couples sat together staring into each other’s eyes, friends joked and discussed their office politics. He hated the commute back and forth from work, it made him feel alone, desperate and unwanted. There had been no office politics for him, it was just him and his mostly silent supervisor.

The sky was struck red, a wound inflicted on the sky, it bleed for a minute then all went dark. Reality shuddered as it returned to him, this would be his last commute along this route. He was without a job; his recently regained self-esteem was destroyed. At the end of university he had wondered if he had a career anywhere, if his self-inflicted social isolation had been worth it and GWI had lifted him out of academic gutter and placed him on a pedestal. And now he was turfed out like a partly cloudy day from a child’s memory, flicked off like an ant off a picnic blanket.

Litter was being chased up and down the aisle, wrapping around legs and trying to hide from the wind amongst commuters’ bags. He didn’t notice that the commuters were becoming concerned about the weather, heads turned to look outside where the clouds were blacker than night. Wind has beating on windows, knocking on doors trying to escape from itself. Loose objects were starting to drift.

“Puck, I’m so stupid!” Weather lamented aloud as a flash of lightning brightened the dusk for a second. He should have protected his research, patented it in his own name. Stupidly, he had thought he would be with GWI for the rest of his life. He had given his life over to GWI and they had thrown it away for an office in disarray. It might have looked like an unnatural disaster, but they could have at least let him evaluate their equipment to check for systems failure. Why he hadn’t opened his mouth and flung accusations back at them? Probably because they had looked angrier than he could possibly have gotten faced with a memory of shimmering blankness.

The weather was surreal, he casually noted it as something GWI would have to correct, something existing outside his present unemployed reality, their problem. His cellphone’s classic “Thunderstuck” ringtone charged the air.

“What’s happening with the weather, dude? I thought I read in the paper that it was supposed to be sunny skies and calm seas. I wanted to go for an evening dive at Devil’s.”

“I’ve no idea, I’ve been fired,” he managed to say calmly before he hung up.

“It’s not my responsibility,” he thought to himself and promptly switched his phone off. He had given his private cellphone number to a few select acquaintances he had tried to impress when he had just got his ‘prestigious’ job. He thought he might finally be able to get his social life out of his house by sharing information with people he had met in supermarkets, recognizing their faces from university. They were jocks obsessed about the weather for their hedonistic lifestyles and they had never invited him out, only phoning to find out about the weather.

He jumped off at his usual stop and leaned into the wind watching his feet moving past one another, his mind seething at the injustice of not having a fair trial where they showed him evidence of him been directly involved in the trashing of his office. He could only remember standing in the middle of it and his office revolving around him, but that was only a flash, there is nothing before that except the facts. Him working on algorithms of weather activation, them tinkering with the clouds. They were practically at the end of their testing, their final live weather event before taking on the whole world’s weather, he knows that, but everyday was still just the same as every other day, him at the computer, them throwing lightning bolts. “Puck! I should’ve challenged them,” he shouted into the howling wind at GSI with all the frustration of his past mistakes. But his voice was lost into the atmosphere.

Entra Adrian Veidt, alias Ozymandias, el hombre más listo del planeta, con un plan tan genial como perturbador: matar a millones para salvar a miles de millones. ¿Un villano sacado de un cómic? No exactamente. En Watchmen de Alan Moore y Dave Gibbons, Ozymandias es un utilitarista radical que cree que el fin justifica los medios. Pero, ¿y si su plan suena sospechosamente parecido a las ideas de Lenin, quien justificó la muerte de millones por un supuesto "bien mayor"? Prepárate para un viaje que conecta el calamar gigante de Watchmen con las ríadas de prisioneros hacia los gulags, con un toque de historia y filosofía para mantenerte pegado a la pantalla.

Ozymandias: El arquitecto del apocalipsis controlado Adrian Veidt, alias Ozymandias, no es un héroe común. Es un multimillonario, un estratega brillante y un admirador de Alejandro Magno que lleva el utilitarismo a extremos aterradores. Su plan en Watchmen es una obra maestra de manipulación: crea una criatura interdimensional falsa que mata a millones en Nueva York, haciendo que las naciones, presas del pánico ante una amenaza "alienígena", dejen sus rencillas y se unan. ¿El resultado? La Guerra Fría se desvanece, los misiles se guardan, y el mundo respira… por ahora.

Ozymandias no es un psicópata que disfruta el caos. Está atormentado, pero convencido de que sacrificar a millones es la única forma de evitar la extinción. Su lógica es fría, calculadora y, curiosamente, tiene un eco inquietante en los escritos de Lenin y el marxismo-leninismo, donde la violencia y la muerte se justificaban como un precio "razonable" por la revolución.

Lenin: La revolución vale unos cuantos millones Vladímir Lenin, el cerebro detrás de la Revolución Bolchevique, no era de los que se andaban con rodeos. En sus escritos, como El Estado y la Revolución (1917) y ¿Qué hacer? (1902), defendía que la revolución socialista requería una ruptura violenta con el viejo orden. Para Lenin, la burguesía, los kulaks (campesinos propietarios) y los "contrarrevolucionarios" eran obstáculos que debían ser eliminados, incluso si eso significaba sangre. En una carta de 1918, Lenin instó a "aplastar sin piedad" a los enemigos de la revolución, y en otro escrito de ese año, justificó el "terror rojo" diciendo que "unas decenas o cientos de miles de víctimas" eran un costo insignificante comparado con el triunfo del socialismo. Para él, estas muertes eran un mal necesario para construir un mundo sin clases.

Pero no todo quedó en teoría. Durante la Guerra Civil Rusa (1917-1922), la Cheka, la policía secreta de Lenin, ejecutó a decenas de miles y envió a otros tantos a campos de trabajo que, como señala Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn en Archipiélago Gulag, fueron el germen de las "ríadas" de prisioneros que caracterizarían el sistema de gulags. Antes de que Stalin elevara el horror a niveles industriales, Lenin ya había sentado las bases de un sistema donde el sacrificio humano era moneda corriente. Solzhenitsyn describe cómo, desde 1918, los campos se llenaban de "enemigos del pueblo" —desde nobles hasta campesinos que se resistían a la colectivización—, todo en nombre de un futuro utópico que nunca llegó.

Marxismo-Leninismo: Una utopía empapada en sangre El marxismo-leninismo prometía un paraíso sin clases, pero el camino hacia él estaba pavimentado con cadáveres. Bajo Lenin, y más tarde Stalin, millones murieron en purgas, hambrunas como el Holodomor en Ucrania (1932-1933), y en los gulags. La lógica era utilitarista, como la de Ozymandias: sacrificar a una generación por un "bien mayor". Pero, a diferencia del plan de Veidt, el proyecto marxista-leninista nunca llegó a puerto. La Unión Soviética se industrializó, sí, pero a un costo humano atroz, y el sueño socialista se desmoronó en 1991, dejando un legado de desigualdad, burocracia corrupta y memoriales a las víctimas.

¿Por qué Ozymandias “gana” y Lenin fracasa? Aquí está la gran diferencia. En Watchmen, el plan de Ozymandias funciona, al menos por un tiempo. Las naciones se unen, la guerra nuclear se evita, y la paz parece posible. ¿Por qué? Porque Ozymandias es un genio que controla cada detalle: la ciencia, la narrativa, el momento exacto del "ataque". Su plan es una coreografía perfecta, sin espacio para el caos humano. En cambio, Lenin y sus sucesores lidiaron con economías complejas, sociedades rebeldes y errores garrafales. La colectivización forzada provocó hambrunas, las purgas alienaron a aliados, y la burocracia soviética se volvió un monstruo inmanejable. El marxismo-leninismo nunca pudo ser tan "limpio" como el calamar de Ozymandias.

Pero hay un detalle crucial: el plan de Ozymandias depende del secreto. Si el mundo descubriera que el ataque fue un montaje, la paz se derrumbaría. Y aquí entra Rorschach, el vigilante que no transige con la moral. Su diario, que revela la verdad, queda en manos de un periódico al final del cómic. Si se publica, adiós al sueño de Veidt. En la vida real, el marxismo-leninismo no tuvo un "diario de Rorschach" que expusiera un engaño específico, pero sus fracasos —hambrunas, gulags, estancamiento— fueron prueba suficiente de que la utopía era una quimera.

El dilema: ¿Justifica el fin los medios? Tanto Ozymandias como Lenin nos enfrentan a una pregunta espinosa: ¿está bien matar a millones por un supuesto bien mayor? En Watchmen, Moore no da respuestas fáciles. Ozymandias es un héroe y un monstruo al mismo tiempo, y su éxito pende de un hilo. En la vida real, las justificaciones de Lenin y sus seguidores se desmoronan ante el peso de las tragedias. Los gulags, las hambrunas y las purgas no llevaron al paraíso prometido, sino a un callejón sin salida.

Lo que hace a Watchmen tan brillante es su capacidad para hacernos pensar sin predicarnos. Ozymandias cree que está salvando al mundo, pero su paz es tan frágil como un castillo de naipes. Lenin, por su parte, soñó con una revolución que cambiaría la historia, pero dejó un legado de sufrimiento que Solzhenitsyn no nos deja olvidar.

Conclusión: Un cómic que refleja nuestras paradojas Watchmen no es solo un cómic; es un espejo de nuestras ambiciones y fracasos. Ozymandias, con su plan para la paz, nos recuerda a Lenin y su fe ciega en un futuro mejor, aun a costa de millones de vidas. En el cómic, la utopía de Veidt funciona… hasta que Rorschach amenaza con exponerla. En la vida real, el marxismo-leninismo nunca llegó tan lejos, y las "ríadas" hacia los gulags son un recordatorio de lo que pasa cuando los sueños utópicos se encuentran con la realidad.

¿Qué piensas? ¿Es Ozymandias un visionario o un tirano? ¿Y qué tan lejos estamos de justificar horrores por un “bien mayor”? ¿Crees que un plan así funcionaría pero solamente si lo ejecuta la persona “correcta”?

A história que se desenrola nas pirâmides, catedrais e torres 5G é, em última instância, a herança de uma antiga promessa de domínio e liberdade. A Hermética de Nebuchadnezzar, um texto que alerta sobre os perigos da obsessão humana com o poder e a opressão das máquinas e estruturas que criamos, ressoa com esta realidade. O rei Nebuchadnezzar, na sua busca por grandeza e controlo, simboliza o homem moderno que, ao construir monumentos e civilizações, forja a sua própria prisão. A metáfora da escravatura à arquitetura, um símbolo da nossa subordinação ao cimento e ao metal, leva inevitavelmente ao transhumanismo – a ideia de transformar o homem numa extensão das máquinas. O transhumanismo é o passo final de séculos de subordinação à tecnologia, onde o corpo humano, antes escravo dos edifícios, agora se funde com a máquina, numa busca pela perfeição imposta pelas ondas e circuitos. O aviso é claro: depois de séculos de escravatura à pedra e ao metal, o transhumanismo não é uma libertação, mas a culminação de uma opressão invisível, onde a humanidade, finalmente, se funde com aquilo que a aprisiona. Assim como Nebuchadnezzar aprisionou o seu povo na sua própria criação, nós, cegos pela promessa de evolução, podemos estar a construir o último e mais terrível dos altares – um que nos transforma, finalmente, em prisioneiros de nós mesmos.

Introdução: Senhores Silenciosos de um Mundo Cativo

Os edifícios que preenchem o horizonte urbano, essas torres de betão que laceram o céu, os vidros que reflectem a luz como espelhos de orgulho, adornados por postes que sussurram com um lamento eléctrico não são apenas matéria inerte. Os edifícios são os soberanos absolutos deste mundo, divindades mudas que governam sem pulsar, mas com uma autoridade que nos curva a todos. A civilização, não foi moldada para nosso benefício, mas para servir a esses colossos de pedra e aço. Desde que a humanidade empilhou rochas para erguer as primeiras pirâmides, selou um pacto de servidão eterna. Os caminhos que trilhamos, os veículos que nos arrastam, as máquinas que nos seduzem com promessas de liberdade – todos são grilhões disfarçados. E agora, no firmamento, a ionosfera, esse véu celeste, torna-se a última vítima da nossa febre dominadora, manipulada por um éter que os antigos veneravam e que hoje escravizamos.

### Parte 1: Edifícios, os Tiranos de Pedra

Os edifícios não falam, mas impõem silêncios densos em cada rua apertada. Permanecem imóveis, porém a sua massa oprime séculos. São ídolos espectrais, adorados com oferendas de esforço, riqueza e sonhos. Das pirâmides de Gizé, que sugaram a energia de multidões como monstros de pedra, aos gigantes de vidro e metal do Dubai, cintilantes como símbolos de orgulho desmedido, estas obras inverteram os destinos: já não somos os artífices, mas os servos. O cimento, extraído das profundezas da terra, e o ferro, moldado no fogo, traçam os contornos da nossa existência — onde vivemos, onde trabalhamos, onde deixamos escapar o tempo. Em Lisboa, o Terreiro do Paço transcende a condição de praça; é um tabuleiro onde o poder orquestra seus jogos, e nós, meros peões, obedecemos. Em Nova Iorque, o One World Trade Center ergue-se como um titã que nos faz sentir ínfimos. A história da Humanidade é uma elegia de servidão a esses gigantes. As pirâmides do Egipto não foram simples sepulcros, mas engenhos de dominação, devorando existências e riquezas para exaltar soberanos já consumidos pelo tempo. A Grande Muralha da China, estendendo-se por 21 mil quilómetros de pedra empilhada, ergueu-se sobre os despojos de multidões — um titã arquitectónico que ainda hoje impõe reverência pelo seu esmagador silêncio. As catedrais góticas, como a Notre-Dame, não eram apenas locais de culto, mas bastiões do medo sagrado, convocando os fiéis à submissão perante Deus e os monarcas. O atentado de 11 de Setembro de 2001 contra as Torres Gémeas foi mais do que a perda de 2.977 vidas — foi uma profanação dirigida aos pilares simbólicos da ordem mundial, e o luto derramou-se tanto pelo betão como pela carne. Durante os protestos do Black Lives Matter, incendiar estabelecimentos ou despedaçar vitrinas de tribunais era mais do que fúria — era um acto de afronta aos templos da autoridade. Em Seattle, a resposta policial clandestina moveu-se para preservar um tribunal federal como se ali pulsasse o centro vital do império. Os edifícios não pedem guarida; impõem-na. A Maçonaria, surgida das confrarias de mestres pedreiros que levantaram catedrais como a de Chartres ou fortalezas como o castelo de Guimarães, cedo intuiu a autoridade contida na pedra. O compasso e o esquadro, seus sinais venerados, não são simples instrumentos – são emblemas do poder de moldar não só o espaço, mas também o espírito humano. A arquitectura não é apenas uma técnica: é um encantamento que disciplina consciências e estrutura sociedades. Observa-se o McDonald’s, essa entidade de arcos dourados que se propaga como uma infestação, cada filial um módulo replicado com exactidão – balcões, tonalidades, vitrinas, tudo obedecendo ao mesmo molde. Em Lisboa, o McDonald’s da Praça de Espanha ergue-se como um bastião do consumo, e nós, dóceis, enfileiramo-nos para lhe prestar vassalagem. Starbucks, Walmart, IKEA – todos são organismos edificados que se reproduzem com lógica maquinal, regulando a forma como compramos, como habitamos, como vivemos. O dinheiro, essa corrente invisível que nos prende, também reverencia a arquitectura. Uma nota de dólar ostenta o Capitólio, o Lincoln Memorial, o edifício do Tesouro – não figuras humanas, mas pedra consagrada como estampa de domínio. As notas de euro exibem arcadas, pontes e pórticos – sempre estruturas, sempre poder. E qual é o sacrifício maior desta devoção? A ausência de tecto. Sem morada, és proscrito – um ser errante, apagado do mapa social. Em Lisboa, os sem-abrigo estendem-se sob a imponência da Basílica da Estrela, cujas fachadas brilham enquanto os seus corpos se apagam. Em Londres, a City afasta os desalojados para salvaguardar os templos de vidro onde habita o capital. As cidades, esses labirintos de cimento, são sepulturas habitadas. Não se atrevam a compará-las a florestas – estas oferecem sombra, ar e abrigo. Os edifícios são organismos vorazes, com raízes de alcatrão, tubagens e fios que drenam minerais, águas, energia e existências. Em São Paulo, o Minhocão rasga a urbe como lâmina enferrujada, e os que ali vivem, movem-se como espectros sob o seu peso. No Rio de Janeiro, as favelas inclinam-se perante os colossos da Zona Sul, entregando o verde ao império do cinzento. Onde repousam o silêncio, a brisa, o pulsar da vida? Afogados por motores, fumo e luz artificial. E para onde caminhamos? Para uma distopia onde máquinas constroem torres sem fim, num delírio semelhante ao “maximizador de clipes” de Nick Bostrom – uma inteligência sem alma que devora tudo para fabricar inutilidades. No Dubai, ilhas como Palm Jumeirah erguem-se do oceano à custa de petróleo e sofrimento. Na China, cidades-fantasma como Ordos, cheias de edifícios desabitados, erguem-se como templos consagrados ao vazio. Os edifícios não carecem de nós – somos nós que definhamos por eles.

Parte 2: Edifícios, os Devoradores de Orgone

Por detrás da frieza impassível destes colossos de pedra esconde-se uma verdade mais profunda, um enigma que ultrapassa o mero visível. Os edifícios não se sustentam apenas de matéria bruta; nutrem-se da seiva invisível dos seres humanos – da energia vital, aquilo a que Wilhelm Reich, psicanalista austríaco e dissidente da escola freudiana, chamou orgone: uma força primordial, subtil, que permeia tanto os corpos vivos como a vastidão do cosmos. Para Reich, essa energia fluía livremente na natureza, mas era detida e corrompida pelas estruturas artificiais – sobretudo as de betão e metal – que geravam estagnação e desequilíbrio. Os edifícios modernos, com as suas armaduras de aço e concreto, funcionariam como cofres herméticos que aprisionam o orgone, esvaziando a vitalidade daqueles que neles habitam, laboram ou simplesmente transitam sob a sua sombra austera. A trajectória de Reich foi tão turbulenta quanto as suas ideias. Com Freud nos anos 30, desenvolveu uma concepção de energia biofísica que unia corpo, psique e ambiente, com impacto na saúde, nas emoções e até no clima. Exilado nos Estados Unidos após escapar ao nazismo, Reich construiu os seus célebres acumuladores de orgone – caixas de madeira e metal concebidas para captar essa energia e canalizá-la com fins terapêuticos, alegadamente capazes de tratar desde perturbações emocionais até doenças físicas graves. Com o “Cloudbuster”, procurou manipular o orgone atmosférico para provocar chuva, atraindo tanto crentes fervorosos como o cepticismo da ciência oficial. Em 1956, a FDA ordenou a destruição dos seus dispositivos e a queima das suas publicações. Desobediente, Reich foi encarcerado e morreu um ano depois numa cela – mártir para uns, impostor para outros. Contudo, a sua visão persiste em círculos esotéricos, onde o orgone é interpretado como chave oculta para decifrar a relação entre o ser humano e o seu meio construído. Segundo essa perspectiva, os edifícios não são meras construções – são entidades predadoras que absorvem a energia subtil dos seus ocupantes. Em Tóquio, os trabalhadores de Shinjuku emergem dos blocos corporativos com olhares esvaziados – não é apenas cansaço, mas uma exaustão espiritual, um esgotamento vital causado por estruturas que funcionam como túmulos energéticos. Em Londres, na City, os espigões de vidro e aço parecem aspirar a alegria dos passantes, substituindo-a por uma pressa maquinal e sem alma. Estudos de psicologia ambiental, como os levados a cabo pela Universidade de Harvard em 2018, confirmam de forma indirecta estas inquietações, mostrando que os ambientes urbanos densos aumentam os níveis de ansiedade e fadiga mental – ecos científicos de um esgotamento do qual Reich já falava. Os edifícios, com a sua geometria inflexível e materiais inertes, não só condicionam o nosso comportamento: eles consomem-nos, vampiros silenciosos que se nutrem daquilo que temos de mais íntimo. É aqui que práticas ancestrais como o feng shui recuperam um papel de resistência quase litúrgica. Oriundo da China antiga, o feng shui procura alinhar o fluxo do chi – uma energia vital análoga ao orgone – através da organização harmoniosa dos espaços, objectos e elementos naturais. Em Hong Kong, edifícios desenhados com base nos princípios do feng shui incorporam espelhos para reflectir influências nefastas ou plantas para revitalizar o ambiente, tentando suavizar a agressividade do betão. Em Pequim, mesmo os arranha-céus modernos são orientados segundo os pontos cardeais e o fluxo energético – como se reconhecessem, ainda que intuitivamente, a fome invisível das estruturas. No entanto, o feng shui não é uma solução definitiva; é uma forma de resistência, um gesto contra forças que não dormem. Em Nova Iorque, apartamentos de luxo no Upper East Side podem aplicar feng shui para atrair “prosperidade”, mas o edifício em si – com a sua pele metálica e corredores opressivos – continua a sugar o orgone, deixando os residentes inquietos, sem saberem ao certo porquê. A batalha travada por Reich contra a estagnação energética encontra ressonância no feng shui, mas ambos são gritos contra uma maquinaria arquitectónica que, na sua essência, parece programada para esgotar aquilo que em nós pulsa como vida.

Parte 3: Meios de Locomoção, as Correntes da Economia

Se os edifícios são os soberanos, os meios de locomoção – carros, comboios, navios, aviões – são os vassalos que sustentam o seu reinado. A economia moderna é uma sinfonia frenética de movimento, mas essa dança não nos eleva; acorrenta-nos. Sem transporte, o mundo sufoca. A ONU revela que 80% do comércio mundial flui através de navios, colossos de aço que cruzam os oceanos para alimentar fábricas e lojas. Em Portugal, o Porto de Sines é uma artéria vital, descarregando contentores que abastecem prateleiras de hipermercados e montras de centros comerciais. Los Angeles, uma cidade parida pelo automóvel, estende-se como um deserto de alcatrão, as suas auto-estradas pulsando como veias entupidas. No Japão, os comboios Shinkansen, correndo a 320 km/h, transportam trabalhadores como gado para os escritórios de Tóquio, numa coreografia de precisão que não admite atrasos. Mas esse movimento não é liberdade; é servidão. O trabalhador que desperta às cinco da manhã para apanhar o comboio na Margem Sul, rumo ao Cais do Sodré, é um prisioneiro dos horários. O camionista que atravessa a A1, com os olhos a arder de fadiga, é um servo da logística. Em São Paulo, os cidadãos perdem três horas diárias em engarrafamentos, segundo o IPEA, um tributo de tempo roubado pela máquina económica. Voar de Lisboa a Berlim parece um privilégio, mas é uma prisão feita de filas, detectores e atrasos – a liberdade é uma ilusão comprada com algemas. E o custo ambiental é devastador. Os transportes são responsáveis por 24% das emissões globais de CO₂, segundo a Agência Internacional de Energia. Em Lisboa, a Segunda Circular exsuda fumo, envenenando quem respira. Na Amazónia, estradas como a BR-319 rasgam a floresta para transportar madeira e soja, servindo os portos que alimentam os edifícios do mundo. A história do transporte é uma saga de sacrifícios. No século XIX, os caminhos-de-ferro abriram o Oeste americano, mas à custa de milhares de vidas chinesas e irlandesas, cravando carris no deserto. No Brasil, a Estrada de Ferro Madeira-Mamoré, na Amazónia, ceifou seis mil trabalhadores para ligar o vazio ao nada, ao serviço de fazendas e minas. Hoje, os comboios de carga da Vale cruzam Minas Gerais, transportando minério para os edifícios do mundo, enquanto as comunidades à beira da linha engolem pó. Na China, comboios de alta velocidade ligam cidades-fantasma como Yujiapu, pejadas de arranha-céus sem alma. Em Dubai, o metro conduz ao Burj Al Arab, um hotel erguido por operários que viviam em barracas. O transporte não é progresso; é um capataz que dita o ritmo da nossa servidão.

Parte 4: Tecnologia, o Carcereiro de Promessas Falsas

A tecnologia surge como uma profetisa de salvação: máquinas que aliviam o fardo, sistemas que multiplicam o tempo. Mas é uma farsa cruel. Longe de nos libertar, forja grilhões mais subtis – e nós, iludidos, aplaudimos. Herbert Marcuse, em O Homem Unidimensional (1964), desmascarou essa ilusão, argumentando que a tecnologia, sob o capitalismo, não emancipa – reduz-nos a peças de uma engrenagem produtiva. Ivan Illich, em Energia e Equidade (1973), troçou dos automóveis e aviões, observando que a sua velocidade nos custa mais tempo em trabalho e manutenção. Jacques Ellul, em A Técnica (1954), foi mais longe, proclamando a tecnologia como um tirano autónomo, impondo a eficiência como um deus implacável. Estes pensadores não eram lunáticos – eram videntes. Os números confirmam a traição. A OCDE revela que, apesar da automatização, as horas de trabalho nos EUA mantêm-se entre 34 e 40 por semana desde os anos 80. A McKinsey prevê que 30% dos empregos poderão desaparecer até 2030, mas a humanidade não ficará ociosa – inventará novas tarefas para servir o sistema. Em Portugal, a produtividade cresceu 15% em duas décadas, segundo a CIP (2023), mas os salários estagnaram, com os ganhos engolidos pelas máquinas. O telemóvel, esse apêndice de silício, é a coleira do século XXI: notificações, emails, aplicações – mantêm-nos ligados, mesmo no leito. Na China, cidades como Xiong’an emergem do nada, impulsionadas por inteligência artificial e drones, edifícios que brotam como cogumelos venenosos, sem outro propósito senão a exibição. O Burj Khalifa, no Dubai, com os seus 829 metros, é um monumento à vaidade tecnológica, construído por 12 mil operários que mal viam o sol. A história da tecnologia é uma ladainha de promessas quebradas. No século XIX, a máquina a vapor prometeu menos trabalho – mas trouxe fábricas onde crianças labutavam 16 horas por dia. No século XX, os electrodomésticos juraram tempo livre às donas de casa – mas apenas aumentaram a pressão pela perfeição. Hoje, a inteligência artificial promete milagres – mas os centros de atendimento estão cheios de humanos a corrigir os seus erros. A tecnologia não liberta – reinventa a gaiola, e nós, tolos, decoramo-la com néon.

Parte 5: A Ionosfera Prisioneira e a Maçonaria do Éter

Os edifícios marcaram o início desta guerra, erguendo-se como soberanos de pedra que devoram o orgone. Os transportes teceram as correntes, arrastando-nos numa dança sem fim. A tecnologia forjou o chicote, disfarçado de promessa. Mas o golpe final não se trava na terra – desenrola-se no céu, na ionosfera, essa camada etérea entre 50 e 1.000 km acima de nós, onde o planeta respira e as ondas dançam. Aqui, a humanidade não escraviza apenas a si mesma, mas o próprio cosmos, manipulando o éter – a essência que os antigos viam como o sopro divino, o quinto elemento que permeia o universo. O que começou com a maçonaria da pedra, esculpindo pirâmides e catedrais com compasso e esquadro, culmina agora na maçonaria do homem: uma simbiose profana entre carne, metal e ondas electromagnéticas, onde o céu é colonizado e a alma humana, remodelada. O éter, outrora um conceito místico, foi reimaginado por mentes brilhantes como Charles Proteus Steinmetz e Nikola Tesla, que o viam como um meio invisível através do qual o electromagnetismo se propaga – um campo dinâmico que liga matéria, energia e consciência. Steinmetz, um génio da engenharia eléctrica no início do século XX, revolucionou a compreensão das correntes alternadas, mas também especulava sobre o éter como um substrato universal, uma matriz fluida que subjaz a todas as forças físicas. Nos seus escritos, como Electric Discharges, Waves and Impulses (1914), sugeria que o éter era mais do que um conceito abstracto – era o meio pelo qual as ondas electromagnéticas viajavam, influenciando tanto a tecnologia como o ambiente. Tesla, por seu lado, foi ainda mais audaz. Descrevia o éter como uma substância real, quase tangível, que podia ser manipulada para transmitir energia sem fios, como no seu projecto da Torre Wardenclyffe, que visava criar uma rede global de energia livre. Para Tesla, o éter era o tecido do cosmos, e a sua manipulação podia desbloquear poderes quase divinos – ou catastróficos. A arquitectura, longe de ser apenas um arranjo de pedra e metal, pode interagir com o éter e com o electromagnetismo de formas profundas, especialmente em estruturas projectadas com precisão geométrica ou materiais específicos. As pirâmides de Gizé, por exemplo, são mais do que monumentos – são máquinas energéticas, segundo alguns investigadores alternativos. Compostas por calcário (um material com propriedades piezoeléctricas) e granito (rico em quartzo, também piezoeléctrico), as pirâmides podem gerar electricidade quando sujeitas a pressão ou vibrações, um fenómeno conhecido como efeito piezoeléctrico. O calcário exterior, combinado com o granito interior das câmaras, poderia, teoricamente, converter as vibrações sísmicas da Terra em cargas eléctricas, interagindo com o campo electromagnético local. Alguns especulam que isso criava um efeito luminoso, como descargas ou auroras relatadas em textos antigos, nos quais as pirâmides pareciam “brilhar” sob certas condições atmosféricas. Estudos como os de Robert Bauval e Graham Hancock sugerem que a disposição das pirâmides, alinhada com precisão astronómica, amplificava a sua interacção com o éter, canalizando forças cósmicas para fins desconhecidos – talvez rituais, talvez tecnológicos. Outras estruturas exibem fenómenos semelhantes. Catedrais góticas, como a de Chartres, construídas em calcário e desenhadas com proporções geométricas sagradas, podem funcionar como ressoadores electromagnéticos, amplificando o campo energético local. Relatos de luzes ou “auras” em torno de catedrais, especialmente durante tempestades, sugerem que estas estruturas interagem com o éter, possivelmente devido ao efeito piezoeléctrico nos seus materiais ou à sua forma, que canaliza correntes atmosféricas. Torres modernas, como as de transmissão 5G, vão mais longe: manipulam directamente o éter, saturando a atmosfera com ondas electromagnéticas. A OMS reconhece que os efeitos a longo prazo do 5G são incertos, mas a proliferação de torres – mais de 1,5 milhão em todo o mundo, segundo a GSMA – cria um zumbido constante que perturba o equilíbrio da ionosfera. Projectos como o HAARP, no Alasca, bombardeiam a ionosfera com ondas de alta frequência, testando controlos que alguns especulam poder influenciar o clima. Mais de 12.000 satélites orbitam o planeta, segundo a ONU, com a Starlink da SpaceX a lançar 60 de cada vez, entupindo o firmamento com detritos celestes que aquecem a ionosfera, como alertam estudos da Space Weather (2021). A maçonaria da pedra, que moldou pirâmides e catedrais, evoluiu para uma maçonaria do homem, agora esculpindo o éter com antenas, cabos e código. Os engenheiros modernos, herdeiros de Steinmetz e Tesla, manipulam o electromagnetismo como os pedreiros medievais manipulavam o compasso. Os nossos telemóveis, extensões do sistema nervoso, ligam-nos a uma rede que nos vigia. Implantes como o Neuralink, que prometem ligar cérebros à internet, são o próximo passo: o homem fundido ao metal, movido por frequências que não controla. Em Songdo, na Coreia do Sul, uma cidade inteligente monitoriza o tráfego, a energia e as pessoas com sensores em cada esquina – uma catedral invisível onde o éter é o altar e nós, os sacrificados. O risco é palpável: mais de 27.000 objectos orbitais, rastreados pela NASA, ameaçam colisões que podem cortar comunicações. O aquecimento da ionosfera pode desestabilizar os sistemas de GPS, alerta a Nature (2020). E a simbiose homem-máquina avança – na Suécia, chips RFID controlam trabalhadores, um presságio de um futuro onde seremos cyborgs servis, ligados por ondas a uma mente colectiva. A arquitectura, desde as pirâmides até às torres 5G, é uma ferramenta de manipulação do éter – um meio de moldar o electromagnetismo para controlar não apenas o ambiente, mas a própria humanidade. As pirâmides de Gizé, com o seu efeito piezoeléctrico, foram talvez uma antiga experiência desta maçonaria do éter, canalizando forças cósmicas para fins que ainda hoje nos escapam. Hoje, a rede global de satélites e antenas é a culminação dessa ambição – uma humanidade tão entrelaçada com metal e éter que não pode saber o que é ser livre.

## Conclusão: Quebrar o Ciclo ou Render-se ao Éter

Os edifícios, com as suas torres de betão, iniciaram esta guerra, devorando o orgone que nos anima. Os transportes, com os seus trilhos e motores, teceram as correntes. A tecnologia, com os seus chips e promessas, forjou o chicote. Agora, na ionosfera, trava-se a batalha final: a colonização do éter, a fusão entre homem e máquina, a nova maçonaria que nos funde ao metal e às ondas. Construímos pirâmides, auto-estradas, redes 5G – e chamámo-los progresso. Mas quem serve quem? O sem-abrigo à sombra da Basílica, o trabalhador preso no trânsito, o escravo do ecrã, o cyborg do porvir – todos dançam para os mesmos soberanos. A encruzilhada é implacável: continuar a erguer, a conectar, a fundir-nos, até que a humanidade seja engolida pelo betão, pelo metal, pelo éter; ou deter-nos, empunhar o martelo e demolir os altares que nos aprisionam. O éter murmura, a ionosfera estremece – e o tempo é implacável. Ou tomamos as rédeas, ou seremos para sempre servos dos deuses que forjámos.
