No worries. Check out nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 tutorials on YT. I used it to get setup with Damus and getalby when I first got on NOSTR. He's great. Also, I am a gal :)
It's all good. No need to return; There's No Bailouts in Bitcoin. If you are on Primal, the wallet is built-in. Have you tried to zap someone π€

I posted the wrong excerpt. Oops. Here is the correct one. Enjoy π
Hi Dan. I should say, first, It is CS Lewis who makes this argument, not me. Just want to give credit where credit is due. Finally, if curious, I highly recommend the book. But to answer your question, Lewis defines consciousness as a soul or a "timeless" quality that sits outside our lived or sentient experience. The fact that some animals appear to be conscious such as dogs, cows, horses, pigs, cats, etc., does not in and if itself prove the presence of a "self" or a "soul" in the sense that is true of mankind. I will paste an excerpt from the book which addresses this illusion of animals having consciousness based on the fact that we humans can act as if conscious when in fact we are sometimes we are truly unconscious, from an administered drug or a comatose state. Finally, I am not saying I wholeheartedly agree with Lewis. I prefer to take the Jordan Peterson approach. That is, I will act as if animals are conscious. That is treat them with kindness, respect and dignity. Pets or not.
On AI #It'sOn Happy Sunday. I am not here to take you to church. I am not even Christian. But I am reading a very Christian book by C.S. Lewis called The Problem of Pain. What a book, people. In it, Lewis addresses the problem of animal pain. Suffice it to say, he differentiates between sentience and consciousness. Animals have the former, not the latter. Given the ongoing debate about the intelligence of AI and what it will one day achieve by way of humanlike intelligence, I submit that the framing Lewis uses for animals fits here. AI can perhaps get to a level of sentience through the power of math and computation. However for the full achievement of human virtues, consciousness is paramount. Hi nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m That is where drive, human ambition and free will resides. AI is very unlikely to spontaneously develop this kind of magic that we call life. Sad but true. Do you agree, pleb? #nostr #asknostr #plebchain AIstr

I am telling you nostr:npub1qhxy598vvcefs8zy0tyqtx0jdpgvcg0h3fv9gjx050g8ccmva66qm2xytl I am real and I missed the part of the stream today about Mordecai Richler lol Never heard of him til today. Better start reading if the books are as good as you say. As soon as I'm finished with C.S. Lewis book, The Problem of Pain π π #nostr #grownostr #asknostr #plebchain #bookstr

TLDR π 0. The economy is NOT about to blow up. I repeat, those Bitcoiners waiting for doomsday scenario should not hodl their breath. 1. Why. Oh why you ask while cryjng into your dinner plate ππ’ Beeeekaaaause 2. The dollar is the reserve currency asset and the world still issues dollar denomiated debt (euro dollar system). It is not the same as the petrodollar system. 3. It is the "Dollar Milkshake Theory". In other words, Charles Degaule to be exact, "Sacre blue! What Exorbitant Privilidge Etat Unis! has!!". They have a dollar printing machine but we do not. (That was creative license. Don't worry. I speak Francais parfait) 4. And also, the government can keep printing for a while before something structual (read base layer) really breaks. 5. Plus, it is all about investor psychology and so far they still believe in god, I mean, the full faith of the US treasury market. 6. Besides the n**mies still don't know the difference between Bitcoin and Crypto. Sigh. 7. Self custody won't be an issue in the USA. the courts will declare it unconstitutional, if they try. 8. Joe (our man in the courts) wishes they would so he can argue the case and put this issue to bed once and for all. 9. On the other hand, privacy tools like conjoin and mixing IS an issue. Governments will fight those trying to profit from mixing transactions. 10. Joe is bullish on Bitcoin. And people solving complex problems. You're welcome. #bitcoin #nostr #grownostr #plebchain
I am watching a series called the Power of Myth by Bill Moyers on Joseph Campbell. Highly recommend. Got the tip from nostr:npub1qhxy598vvcefs8zy0tyqtx0jdpgvcg0h3fv9gjx050g8ccmva66qm2xytl In the episode I am currently watching, Joseph says something about life being at the edge of death. Isn't that similar to the concept of price discovery being on the margins of the order book? This is a concept that nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe talks about very convincingly. To extrapolate on this idea, we are the market and our individual lives are inextricably linked through a market process that entails buying and selling to form a great fabric of humanity. Our worth is discovered every time we form a new relationship in this market, be it friendship, marriage or death. If the currency that powers this market is broken or biased somehow to favor the few over the many, such as fiat, no wonder we are choosing wrong. This just leads to bad romance, rotten relationships and malinvestments. Best to use Bitcoin. It is honest money. It is moral, godly and sacred. Happy living. #nostr #grownostr #bitcoin #plebchain

Whoa John. I used to work at State, next to the Federal Reserve. I know that area pretty well. Now I just stay home in Mclean, VA. I lost my job with Guidehpuse (government contractor).

I ran across this gem of a quote from whom else. Nietzsche. As you do. I have been exorcising my demons, as you may have deduced. I want them to go away. Can you at least keep it down when I am sleeping? What do I have to say or do around here to get what I want? Peace and quiet. Why can't you do you and I'll do me. This quote does throw a wrinkle. Nietzsche is saying what Jung also says. Integrate your shadows. Overcome your inner Darth Vader. Conquer your Sith but don't kill it. The Jedi and Sith are caught in an eternal duality. You need one to be the other. Sometimes you're a Sith and other times a Jedi. You just need to learn when to be which is which. Too many Star Wars references π #nostr #asknostr #plebchain #bitcoin #StarWars #Jedistr
This SHIT IS MENTAL !!!! I bought this book from Amazon and I just happen to get my little sister's book from high school. I am Noha Simsaa. She is Sulafa Simsaa. She went to a small, private high school in Madison, WI. The name of the school is Edgewood High School. Let's calculate the odds of something like this happening in real life. Why? Because this is NOT the first time something like this happens to me. I defer to the time I made a phone call via Skype to my sister Maysa in Nairobi, Kenya only to have some guy named Nicholas of all the names (Sulafa's American husband), from Copenhagen, Denmark (why the Kenyan mobile and also where Maysa "graduated" from her master's program in public health and met her German husband Christoph Schmidt) pick up the phone. We talked for a while and I even told him I am not vegan anymore. The odds of that happening Swedish Skype is ZERO. I asked chatGPT but I had to force-feed it the answer. Sam Altman/Elon Musk, you have some "training" to do with chatGPT Population of USA in 2000: 281M Percent of High Schoolers in 2000: 16.3M Number of high school students in Edgewood in 2000: 1059 Number of High School Students in Edgewood High School per class: 256 Probability that I end up with my very own sister's copy of school novel is 250/ ZERO!!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON !!!! nostr:npub1qhxy598vvcefs8zy0tyqtx0jdpgvcg0h3fv9gjx050g8ccmva66qm2xytl I won't lie. I am scared. This is beyond the simulation. I have been living like this for the past decade and it is getting hard to stay sane. What would you do??? #asknostr #grownostr #plebchain #bitcoin https://m.primal.net/IuOl.jpg https://m.primal.net/IuOm.jpg
On Warnings In a prior post I lamented the lack of warning from Hyatt Regency when I was unceremoniously kicked me out because I was too loud and may or may not have cursed out loud thus offending sensitive ears. First amendment and all. Well, I decided to be fair since that is what I pleaded. At least give me a warning first before you kick me out. Look at all the money I spent in your establishment, I said, pulling up my credit card statement. But nothing worked and I have not been back since. Read all about it on this profile, a few posts back. Anywho. I have this problem. My sister Maysa and perhaps also Sarah and Sulafa, are constantly screaming in my ear that I am insane. Also, there seems to be some fight over a man, maybe Drew. Hard to say because they have never met him. Also, he is well and truly married. God and country. But they are in favor in Ruby and not me, their own flesh and blood. Their lives depends on it. As in money. They placed their bets on the grand casino of life and they chose wrong. Now, they are willing to do anything to rig the system in their favor. They were already planning a luxurious life with mansions and trips to St Tropez. No joke. They eschew morality, ethics, decency and goodness. All for money. They are bought and paid for. They imprison me on false claims of insanity. When that doesn't work, they claim there are two "me" thus explaining away my successes. When that doesn't work, they claim I am not pretty enough. Then they extol the virtues of Ruby/Sarah. She is pretty, sweet, normal, a honey really. What they forgot to tell you is Sarah is the original insane. She called me in London, words a blazing, with tales full of bad spirits and treacherous friends. She then got better only to once again lapse into oblivion keeping me and my now ex-husband up all night with nonsensical gibberish. Kamal was sick of it so he went to bed, quietly saying a prayer to a god he doesn't believe in, for Sarah to go away. He was permanently turned off Sarah on that fateful night in Madison when he told her his plan for smoothing the way for her and her then boyfriend Ayman. He told her to wait until he broke the news to Mom. She broke into the most disrespectful expletives when he was a man 16 years her senior with negotiating experience advising worldwide news desks out of London, England. Once you lose Kamal, it's over. The sad truth is he was right and he was only trying to help her. But she did not want to wait. She wanted to be like Maysa, ironically speaking. She wanted to be the one with a boyfriend to bring home. Truthfully, Sarah is the furthest thing from sane. So when that doesn't work, they go back to I'm insane. It is their favorite excuse, not favorite mistake, Sheryl Crow. They are backed into a corner and will do and say anything to "get away with it". But this time it is different. God has weighed in. He decided to expose them fully. People shout back that I am sane. That I am pretty. I am good. I am moral. In fact, I am better. At the end of the day, I don't know what to make of it. I genuinely don't understand what's going on. Let alone what happened. I just want it to stop. I beg, I plead. I walk around with my wares on display because seeing is believing. People are astonished. I can see the shock in their eyes. They too are victims of a great crime. It is not just me. I must keep going no matter how foolish I look. The tide is turning. People are shouting back to Maysa in particular that I am sold. That is, people now buy what I am selling. The truth. I wish they knew the truth from the beginning. I wish this all could have been avoided. But Maysa is making it hard, according to Madex. She wants it to be her. She even recruited my own mother in her devilish ways. My own mom asked me once if my husband wants Maysa, not me. This is supposedly a god fearing woman who prays daily, fasts Ramadan and went to Haj. I am reeling from the pain inflicted by my family. How can they be this awful?. Most importantly, how do I protect my son?Why is it taking so long to put a stop to Maysa, once and for all. Is it not obvious that if anyone is well and truly insane, it is Maysa not me. I am making the hard choice to continue exposing my family. I was the one who sponsored them for American citizenships. I have the receipts. The best part is, I did warn them. I asked them not to put me in this position. They ignored me and continued with the insults anyways. I must proceed with making good on the threat. That's how to parent so it must be they are children in need of rearing. This isn't easy to do but needs must. Plus seeing is believing. Attached are encrypted documents with hash codes of my security clearance submission when I first joined Booz Allen Hamilton in 2008, to support The State Department. Hi @Snowden Yes, we both worked there. I am also in a gulag, but mine is more severe in its inhumanity. It is a state of mind. There is no escape. Not even in dreams. How do they do that, Edward? How do I save myself from this nightmare of Maysa screaming over and over that I am insane, not pretty, and it is her. Please help. I am suffering every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year of every decade. Can you stop it before I am a century years old and I make the Smuckers jam jar. Please and thank you. https://m.primal.net/Ists.jpg https://m.primal.net/Isto.jpg https://m.primal.net/Istz.jpg https://m.primal.net/Istv.jpg https://m.primal.net/IsuB.jpg https://m.primal.net/IsuC.jpg https://m.primal.net/IsuD.jpg

I think the uncertainty principle is flawed. I didn't say that. Someone, much smarter than me did. To put his explanation is layman's terms, you can walk and chew gum at the same time.
