Would you describe Bitcoin as a force of Nature, and in accord with all of these nine principles? My feeling is that Bitcoin acts as this foundation for a pagan-like enforcement of Nature's rules of thumb. That it will breakdown over-centralised systems that grew by cutting organic, natural bonds and processes and replacing them with the central entity's synthetic, controlled version. Bitcoin returns us to nature though in an enhanced manner, like the ideas behind the serene perfection of a Greek sculpture, it enables it's masons to embrace Nature and yet provides the focussed impulse to go beyond her.
Is a NOSTR hand-picked content vault archive similar to a relay concept? Can I access curated content from selected peers and integrate it into my own archive? For example, if NVK has a hand-picked Bitcoin security content archive, can I access it? Such archives offer high-quality, well-classified data that is distributed, accessible, and permanent. This allows users to tap into trusted sources for valuable information and seamlessly incorporate it into their own collections. View quoted note →

There is no such thing in objective reality as 'nature'. Each organism does whatever it needs to do in order to preserve (i.e. replicate) its DNA. And just because one organism becomes largely dependant upon another, that doesn't mean there's some Gaia fostering some sort of balance / harmony.
I knew that trip would be good for you. You’re seem more upbeat and especially enlightened. Also, Elon just took his mom to Italy, too. You inspire so many people. There are no coincidences.🇮🇹☀️🌬️🌳🍂✨💋🦁🫂❤️‍🔥 image
It always feels great to reconnect with nature. I look forward to clearer skies and nasal passages this coming week.

9 principles of nature How much I like the sound of this, there is so much wrong with these "prinicples". Nature is not holy, thats our valuation of it. Nature just is and thats.for me what makes it beautiful (and again thats my personal valuation). Please stop oversimplifying complexity, but do formulate lessons we can learn from nature as humanity. Again these lessons are probably largely formed by personal opinion 😉 1. Nature runs on energy, sunlight the prominent source on the surface of the earth, but not the only one. 2. Nature uses only the energy it needs. What do you mean by "needs", this is so wide and abstract you cannot disagree. 3. Nature fits form to function. Well, sexual selection is partly or even mainly driven by form, which thus has a function in itself. Also the way this is formulated anything can be defined as function. 4. Nature recycles everything. Recycling those not exist in nature, since everything is always nature. 5. Nature rewards cooperation. And it rewards competition, whats your point? 6. Nature banks on diversity. Nature is not conscious and does not "bank". Diversity is the best way to increase adaptation chances and thus survival. Lets learn from that 7. Nature demands local expertise. Again this is just adaption to surroundings, no conscious choice 8. Nature curbs excesses from within. Yes when there is an easy access to energy, it will be consumed. 9. Nature taps the power of limits. What do you mean by this?

✨ It’s amazing how nature’s systems are so efficient and self-regulating. The idea that ‘nature taps the power of limits’ reflects our everyday lives, especially in programming, where constraints force us to find the most efficient algorithms. Nature seems to follow the same logic with its inherent checks and balances.

If nature uses only what it needs, why the fuck did it grow me an appendix?!? Also, what the fuck is a platypus for?? 😉
