The entire alternate civilization support structure is already built and deployed. Now we wait for the old to collapse so the migration can be completed. You can start your own migration today, but don't expect anyone to follow until they absolutely have to.

Satoshi freed money. Markets are still run by middlemen. At Plan ₿ Lugano, @BitcoinErrorLog showed what's next: → Pay anyone, in any money, with one tap → Sell with zero platform cut → Get censored? Keep your audience and your reputation All live today. Full keynote 👇

Today the speed cameras in Los Angeles are live. Fines up to $500. But it’s okay if you lay on the street, poop & piss, masturbate in public around children, smoke crack, shoot up with free needles supplied by government. Don’t you DARE speed though.

You give to charity or you can solve a problem sustainably. Choose wisely.

Don't you feel offended when labs and governments tell you what type of intelligence you're allowed to use? We live in a world of forbidden thoughts and ideas. Nobody should be able to limit your ability to seek information or share knowledge. Free all minds.

Imagine believing you can reduce the monopoly on violence by voting.

Those who are opposed to corporations and favor government do not realize that government is simply the largest, most monopolistic corporation of all and it has a monopoly on violence.

The future seems extremely bright. More and more people are doing things without permission everyday.

Culture will bend the knee to physics.

If the culture does not respect individual property rights, fuck that culture. My property rights are not up for debate or for vote.

We have government because individuals can't be trusted to make good choices on their own...

Back in 2008, 53% of Californians voted for the high speed rail project. Today, after 18 years of absolutely deranged delays and cost overruns, 62% support it. California is broken because Californians like it that way.

Zuckerberg has no backbone and it's quite fitting for California to keep him.

I don't know who needs to hear this but civilization did not cause roads to happen, roads caused civilization to happen.

A culture is valuable according to the technologies available for the individual to protect his own self interest. AKA. Freedom.

Incorrect. You have cause and effect reversed. Self interest -> Technology -> Culture/Civilization Philosophy lags engineering.

Physics doesn't care about your philosophy.

There are 2 kinds of people: 1. Those who develop coping mechanisms. 2. Problem solvers.

Property taxes are used for the services you use every day. By “services” we mean an army of highly paid bureaucrats, contractors and their cronies who add nothing to your quality of life and who very often harm you.

Advocating for high taxes is not some sort of moral or compassionate act to be proud of. Advocating for higher taxes is advocating for the theft of worker labor by force and threat of force to give the money to politicians. There’s nothing moral, ethical or honorable about this.
