Noise.app Account, 東京 Photos, New Article on Musk's Gaslighting, Experimental Cashrain Community This post is admittedly a hodgepodge, but that's just how things work out this time: Above are some photos from my last trip to Tokyo, from wanderings around wonderful Asakusa. I've also written a new, extensive op-ed on the problems with Elon Musk in regard to free speech and crypto at Bitcoin.com. Please find me on Noise.app here: https://noise.app/VoluntaryJapan And if you…
Perma-banned on r/btc Reddit I am admittedly not very active on Reddit. But now and then I do drop some links via my 3-year-old account to stories about economic freedom and crypto with a brief comment just to share. I've received a decent amount of upvotes and tips and comments considering the sparse posting, and of course engaged in the comments section when it seemed appropriate. I was glad there was a Reddit where even "normies" (in terms of not being super active on the…
$70 Cash Rain (+One Invite Link) for Voluntary Japan Community Members Hey there, Read dot Cash folks. I've created a new Cashrain community and want to put it to use, experimentally for now (I've not fully decided what I think of this platform yet, and it is also still in beta). In the next 24 hours (as of publishing this post) I'll be doing a 70 USD value Cashrain to 70 members of the Voluntary Japan community on Cashrain.com. I'll also be mailing out one free Cashrain…
How Do You Rule Me? — A Conversation With a Cop A: Do you have some ID on you? B: Sorry, who are you? A: It doesn't matter who I am. I'm going to need to see some identification. B: Why? A: So I can verify your identity. B: But you're a complete stranger. I have no idea if I can trust you or why you are standing in my way. In fact I should be asking *you* for ID. A: First, I'm a cop. You don't have a choice. My name is on my uniform. B: Why are you stopping me? A: You look…
Moral Relativism: Why Voluntaryism and the Bible Are Incompatible *Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power?* *Romans 13:1-3* One of the most vexing and…
Happy Holidays from Voluntary Japan (Music, Life Update, and New Links) Got Some Sleep, Had Some Thoughts I finally had a full sleep for the first time in about two weeks. Not sleeping is evil. It plays havoc with one's mind and body. After seeing a doctor, talking with my folks in the states, and something just kind of snapping inside — well, being completely exhausted, too — I finally got 7 unbroken hours of slumber. A miracle for me. I was amazed when I woke up and…
What Is Anarchy? Anarchy is everything, in a sense. Most literally, it simply means "no ruler." https://www.etymonline.com/word/anarchy We can also see that "leader" in the above definition is not just a voluntarily assented to leader, such as a painting instructor or club president. "Archon" being the root of "monarch," the difference is easy to understand. A ruler leverages violent force. A mere leader does not necessarily do so.…
Massive Attack 2023: Running, Music, Documentary Work (+Some Whisky Reviews) Went out for a run today — have been running about once weekly these days, which is not a lot at all, but better than nothing — and was thinking about planning a new ultra-distance course to run for Spring. I've gained too much weight again and slowed down, but after swimming in a tasty vat of single malt Scotches for the past weeks/holidays (and Christening my floor with a full glass of one of…
