Why Financial EXCLUSION Is the True Power of Bitcoin ***It's true that bitcoin makes it possible for virtually anyone in the world to access money and financial sovereignty. It's also true that the vested interests of the state and central banks don't care, no matter how much empty praise they may pile on. The real power of bitcoin is not to let everyone into your wallet, but to keep the bad actors out.*** Fuck 'Financial Inclusion' When it comes to crypto, feel-good talk…
Bitcoin was the first money I ever owned ***I tried to understand and play along with the established financial systems of the world. It just didn't work. I felt like money was not for me. I felt like a misfit, and a loser. Then came bitcoin.*** Something in me — even as a child — was offended by the endless credit, quantitative easing, logic-less financial "infrastructure" of the current financial paradigm. Of course, I couldn't define it as a kid. But I could feel it.…
Voluntaryism is not an "ideal" — it is the prerequisite for any sane society There's a big problem with how most people look at things: They think violence against the non-violent is sometimes okay, as long as a "government" says it is. But what is a *government?* Is it not an abstraction, in reality comprised by individuals like you and I? Is it okay for you to rob someone for something you want (taxes)? To kill them as "collateral damage" in your feud with another party…
Don't Do Their Acrobatics: The Key to Anarchy Is Being ***YOU*** ******* **The key to bringing about anarchy, order, love and freedom ... is YOU.** ******* *Bending over backwards at great, great heights to build a rickety wooden tower for someone, though you know it's going to kill you when you fall. Driving off a cliff with your son in the car while being assured by everyone around you that all this is normal, and to be expected.* I've been having dreams about falling, and…
Awareness is a hole in the head — letting the sunshine in I had a dream the other night — there was a small, cleanly polished hole at the top of my forehead. It had the appearance of porcelain, like a piece of hard candy sucked down to its smooth, colorless surface. A tiny circle leading directly to my brain. Pretty, and pitch black. I wasn't alarmed at first, because the hole was small and the bone of my skull seemed very strong. But when I pressed a finger to it, the…
11 Years in Voluntary Japan: What I've Learned / How I've Changed As of May 15, 2021 — I have been in Japan for 11 years. To me, it seems hard to believe so much time has passed. But in another sense, the years have been felt fully. With progress, pain, success, setback, heartache, and happiness. In this post I'd like to talk briefly about what I've learned since being here in the land of the rising sun, and how Japan has changed me, or more accurately, been a seed crystal…
Dumbocracy, Is Not a Virtue. I can't take it anymore. I honestly can't. Why do we praise this insane idea? The idea that 51% of a group can be in the moral right to choose how the other 49% must live? You do understand that mob rule is not a virtue, right? So how in hell can you miss this? I am surrounded with some of the most "intelligent" people on this planet. And I am constantly amazed at how dumb and unaware the most educated and professionally experienced people, can…

Crypto, Weapons, Friends — The Only Future We Have Is the One We Take, and Defend Driving into work today I watched the folks on the sidewalks and roadsides as usual. Little kids, junior high schoolers and high schoolers all walking to school, waiting at crosswalks, and making their way into a brand new day. But they were all muted. All suffocated. All greyed out. They had no faces. The tiny children being masked makes me the most angry, but it's a tragedy for youth all…
Unschooling Notes, Part 2: Making a BCH Time Capsule With My Son Today started like most other days: waking up still groggy, pouring an old French press full of coffee, and figuring out the best way to make the most of a new set of daylight hours in my mind. My son, who has now started to go to the local elementary school part-time (out of pure necessity as my wife and I need to work, and our efforts to build local unschooling networks haven't really panned out), took the…
Memorial Day — There Is No Honor in Killing or Being Killed for the State If you really love veterans of war, and wish to honor and respect them...*listen to them.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-8C-rs8Jh4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tixOyiR8B-8 Freedom doesn't come from killing and dying for the state, an organization populated by the scum of the earth, presuming to be authority over us. Freedom is already here. It must be recognized, understood logically, and…
