In a recent conversation @jordanbpeterson mentioned how the highest possible motivations might be something like "Truth nested inside Love."

To me, this is what #Bitcoin represents.
Bitcoin is absolute Truth because it can not lie to you. It is set up for Truth.

Bitcoin is Love because it is completely voluntary. There is no coercion in Bitcoin.

Further, it removes violence from the equation, if secured properly. You can not forcefully take my bitcoin away from me.

Properly secured sats have to be handed over voluntarily. Always.
I am aware that these are strange thoughts, but I keep having them nonetheless. For years now.

What's funny is that religious language is the only language that seems to work - for me, at least - to express these kinds of thoughts. (It might be worthy to note that I self-identified as an atheist for 15+ years.)

I am not the only one making these kinds of connections, mind you. Here is a tweet from a couple of hours ago, for example:

I'm not sure what to make of it.

It seems to me that Bitcoin is a concrete instantiation of an incredibly high and noble ideal. And once you align yourself with this ideal, things seem to fall into place and the world opens up to you.

We are quickly moving from a post-truth society into a post-sense society.
One side-effect is that it is increasingly impossible to tell the difference between news, satire, memes, propaganda, and parody.
Those who are able to navigate this jungle successfully will be rewarded. Those who are confused by the noise will suffer the consequences of not being aligned with reality.

Go outside.
Talk to your neighbors.
Sit in the woods.
Watch the stars.
Breathe fresh air.
Sell your TV.
Don't listen to the talking heads.
Unplug.
Take ownership.
Plan for the long term.
Stop doing things you hate.

Schrödinger's Bitcoin: not backed by anything, but uses too much energy.
Impossible to understand and too complicated, but old tech and not innovative enough.
Inconsequential and will go to zero, but has to be banned because ... what if it doesn't, I guess?
