To live a purposeful and meaningful life you need to have some moral compass otherwise you are like a cork floating in the sea.
Was Hitler a cork floating in the sea? Was Ceaser? Was Napolean? Was Genghis Khan? If you would say they were not, you would then say these men are moral? If you say the morality is highly varied, then why call it morality as if such preferences were more "special" than, for instance, the fact that I prefer drinking coffee from a ceramic mug to a paper cup? -- does the tragedy in America not bother you? How people drink from paper cups everywhere? This too, is left behind, in the culture.
yes, precisely because bitcoin is not an "ultimate answer" I must accuse bitcoin, by and large, being a culture of losers with a will to nothing who must seize power rather than whining and opining impotently as thought experiments of virtue signaling, pretending there is all that substantive of a difference between the American right wing bitcoiner, and the typical American leftist
Morality is to some extent a moving target- it is relative to the time you are in and the context.
Hitler, Ceasar, Napolean and Genghis Khan were men of their time and context and certainly all took strong positions and actions in life.
As a westerner the general apparent decline of US does concern me- it has always been a rather brash and bold culture embracing new and transitory conveniences and customs but is more familiar to me than Chinese culture...but my cultural biases and preferences are not relevant in dispassionately observing the advance of history.
It may be a convenient rule-of-thumb, but it only exists reflexively i.e. to the extent that people believe it, and like bitcoin, it is not a democracy, but a question of economic nodes -- in the economy of moralities, one might ask, what is the dominant morality in actual capacity for power? Obviously, politics has a trivial impact on moving these markets.
Nietzsche invokes the notion of revaluation of values: what if accelerationism will see an acceleration of the turnover of moral values? All this talk of flattened groups... it is lousy philosophy, and it is just slave morality. Morality emerges within the conditions of each individual. People talk about politics because they cannot actually shape the world in a meaningful way. Loser stuff. I can talk to bitcoiners (localism), and therein a culture might emerge that is a bit less sloppy, thereby productive. If bitcoiners were truly individualist islands, they would have zero concerns about things half the world away -- if there is theory about control systems, it is just impotent venting, which means... bitcoin is not enough, today, in the moment we live.
So might as well get busy reading Nietzsche and taking over the world rather than engaging in these turbonormie, I'm 14 and this is edgy noticing, talking points.
There is almost zero awareness of The Greater Israel Project among my contemporaries in the west.
Where there is awareness it is more likely to be one of dull acceptance and apathy.
A strong and healthy culture is built of people concerned about themselves and their interdependence upon others.
The Sovereign Individual movement is typical of the attempt to isolate oneself from the moral and economic decline all around you.
You cannot do it.
You are ultimately interdependent upon those around you to a greater extent than ever before in history.
Supply chains and power structures are more centralised and larger than ever before,.
Many of them a algorithms that watch and know you better than you know yourself.
To disengage from interest in politics and the power structure you are dependent upon is to be a slave...a dumb, ignorant and powerless slave.
Awareness maxing while being a whiny bitch is just another word for gay
Make your own great plans, loser
What have you done to augment your power lately?
People die but leave behind their achievements and what they have built- this is human civilisation of course.
Agree there is a constant struggle for dominance and power and some Israelis clearly see The Greater Israel Project as 'good' for them but others will have different points of view- especially those from whom the Zionists wish to seize land.
To live a purposeful and meaningful life you need to have some moral compass otherwise you are like a cork floating in the sea.
Ultimately The Greater Israel Project is an ambition which Zionists cannot openly declare as they know the vast majority of humanity would think they are insane religious extremists were they to.
This is why this issue is important to be known and discussed, so that all people can know what it is the Zionists seek and then can respond accordingly.
It seems likely to me that if The Grerater Israel Project is more widely known it will not be good for the Zionists- as it both explains their genocides and land grabs and alerts the world to the danger they pose to all people of the region and arguably everyone on the planet.
As for Bitcoin do not over cook its value- yes it demonstrates a way of organising and exchanging value in a neutral manner that treats all participants equally without fear or favour but it does not solve most of the challenges humans face. It is simply a model that shows there are alternatives, in some areas at least to centralised power structures and algorithmic governance.
