1/ #blockchain in the Book of Esther for #Purim 2020
"for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse."
Immutability of a signed transaction on the chain.
However...

2/ ..If Tx is still pending, it can be replaced!
"Now you may write in the king’s name as you please regarding the Jews, and seal it with the royal signet ring."
3/ Ring signatures are cool, but still:
Not your ring, not your laws!

In honor of #Purim, here's my thread of 2 yrs ago where I explain why I say <ym'sh> after Trump's name that doubles as a class about the book of #Esther
Actually I see that the thread is old and there's a broken link somewhere, so I will reprint it in tweets below. Again, this is from June 20, 2018:
1/ Thread: Thoughts abt. the #TrumpCrisis, 18 months of living in a proto-dystopia that followed the 2016 campaign:

When this started I tried to limit how often I used Trump's name; he loves his name sooo much (see: everything he owns) that I felt saying it was giving him a gift

THREAD: In honour of #Purim2020, some (reworked) thoughts on the big story of Benjamin…

…and its connection to the story of #Esther.

Below, a 19th cent. scroll from Iraq (cf. kedem-auctions.com),

w. blessings and curses to be read before and after in the 1st column.
BACKGROUND

Scripture isn’t a library; it’s a story—one of creation and redemption and more besides.

Intertwined within Scripture, however, are various sub-themes/stories,

which are typically defined by their intertextuality.

In the present note, we’ll consider Benjamin’s.
The story of Benjamin unfolds against an enigmatic backdrop.

When Jacob first meets Rachel (Benjamin’s mother), he begins to weep (Gen. 29.11).

At first blush, his tears appear to be tears of joy.

Might they also, however, embody a deeper significance?

#Purim thread. Starts Monday night. Will explain shortly. #Jewish #Salvation #Iran #MordechaiandEsther #HamanDown #Mashiach #Redemption
Why should you care about #Purim?
- It involves a plot centered in Iran to annihilate the Jews
- Plots affecting Jews tend to have an oversized impact on world history
- Future predicts past and vice versa, because time is a human construction
- @POTUS is very engaged w: Jews
Things have a way of suddenly shifting from good to bad and vice versa. This is the lesson of #Purim.

The Jews were fine until Haman got hired as the Iranian king’s personal adviser, and he set out to murder them (us).

If not for the ancient culture of Persia – which graciously hosted the Jews for thousands of years – Judaism would lose a vast amount of its supposedly "exclusive", inspired by 'God' literature and 'culture'.

Starting with the #Purim fraud of the Book of Esther/Ishtar.

#Purim Thread: Esther, or Hadassah, her Babylonian-Hebrew name, had a tough decision to make: enjoy the riches of the palace, or take action, jeopardizing everything she had.
American Jewry finds themselves in the same predicament as Esther.
At the beginning of the Purim story, Esther was just another Persian woman. When she arrived in the palace she was never treated as royalty, was always looked down upon, and had no real power. Esther did not have any power until the day that Ahasuerus decided to make her a queen
Esther could have just enjoyed this power and never look back at the Jewish people, but she didn’t. Instead, she was willing to give up her new status and riches for her people.
“For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place
