Crypto folks, #Binance haters, @binance, @BinanceUS—I solved my problem in a way nobody told me about, which I had to figure out for myself. I went to my "Balance" page and found a "Trade" link. There, I was able to trade into dollars, and now my $NANO is now in $$$.
I feel stupid, but not *too* stupid because, well, nobody told me this was possible (if it was).
BTW I doubled my money.
Hey Binance corporate jerks: WHY AREN'T YOU TELLING UPSET $NANO INVESTORS THIS IS POSSIBLE?
For shame, really. I'll never use your service again.
All you grateful $NANO people, please send a portion of your enormous profits to encyclosphere.org TIA 😁
Update: my funds, at a 209% profit, are now on their way to the Knowledge Standards Foundation bank account. Whew!

Self-righteous vaxxed pro-maskers: will they still wear masks, because it makes them feel so righteous?
Tired, vaxxed true believers, reaaally ready to de-mask: will they resent all the people they know aren’t vaccinated, who aren’t wearing a mask? Oh yeah.
Anti-Covid vaxxers: will welcome a chance at a reprieve, but now will face questions and deep hostility from those who paid their dues by taking a risky vaccine, who loathe skeptics.
Some will wear masks anyway, just to avoid conflict.
True or false: It’s important that we essentially leave each other alone, not try to change each other too much.
...except for evangelizing.
...except for carbon footprint reduction, wearing masks, and getting vaccinated, and a few other things like that. It’s good to try to change people that way.
Thread—
How to respond to your respected old friends and family who, with sadness and concern, encourage you to get vaccinated.
Listen. Your distinguished friends in govt, NGOs, and corps are pushing hard for reduced rights, on a *global* scale, for those who refuse the vax.
So you, who say you love freedom, will be pressured by those people into supporting a vax regime in which bureaucrats determine what must be injected into the bodies of the global populace.
You’re not talking about this—it’s crazy conspiracy talk!
Until it becomes law.
You are an enthusiastic citizen of a new clown world in which “liberals” systematically ignore and excuse the fact that the apparatus of a global totalitarian regime is being set up. This is not an exaggeration. It's 100% true. Think about it. What happened in 2020?
"People who are liberals look upon the principles of Marxism as abstract dogma. They approve of Marxism, but are not prepared to practice it or to practice it in full; they are not prepared to replace their liberalism by Marxism. These people have their Marxism, but...
...they have their liberalism as well - they talk Marxism but practice liberalism; they apply Marxism to others but liberalism to themselves. They keep both kinds of goods in stock and find a use for each. This is how the minds of certain people work." --Mao, 1937
Philosophy is important, because it concerns the meanings of concepts, not words. Indoctrination works through redefinition of words. Much of what goes under the name of democracy, decentralization, tolerance, and safety are no such thing. -> | via startthis.org/?p=699
But most people hate philosophy. It's hard, and they haven't been trained to do it; this makes it possible for them to be taken in, and when they see criticism of the Establishment, it looks crazy to them.
This is why the KSF will be launching a course (finally) next month about the methods of Internet freedom and decentralization. A lot of people have a lot of things to learn—and unlearn.
Lately I have often had the impulse to post, "The world is going absolutely insane!" But then I stop myself, because it's boringly obvious. | via startthis.org/?p=671
Why don't I make a list of insane things?
Everyone is wearing masks, despite the fact that the science has not indicated they do much good—except that we're supposed to believe that all the scientists and policy-makers en masse around the world have come to the same conclusion.
We're supposed to believe that "just in time" for this global pandemic, a new kind of vaccine just happens to be ready to be developed in a matter of mere months, and then administered to everyone, and scientists agree that it is effective, and all of humanity must take it.
