opinion/observation:

funny how people only start looking up stuff only AFTER it becomes undeniable, but they are not ready to explore the topic before that moment, thru suggestions from friends for example.

they are then looking at the evidence, thinking to themselves: "huh, maybe this is true after all" but really by then it is undeniable in their subconscious mind (in the void), and the conscious mind is still trying to rationalize the truth.

i see it happening: it's a painfully slow process to watch because of the conditioning, propaganda, and nowadays blatant mind control.

nonetheless, metaphysically, we all come to the truth at exactly the right time, at the time we deserve it.

It’s going to become more difficult to tell the difference between what is real and what is fake with the advancements of AI.

Great reflection. This thought always makes me wonder what I can do to encourage the people around me to be more open to uncomfortable ideas. What fear can I help them overcome. What respect and trust can I earn. Truth always wins in the end - how can I facilitate that sooner rather than later.

But this also must be an introspective process. What truths am I missing? What are my defense mechanism and how are they hindering me? When should I trust my instinct and when should I rely on faith?

Relatedly, chess is all about what you don’t see. It’s a fascinating game, and I think everyone should become familiar enough with it to understand the basic concepts. Everyone can benefit from training your mind to deconstruct the things that appear straightforward.

thank you! before helping others discover the reality, i must discover and structure it myself. although, if it already sounds pretty good, i usually start speaking. i practice my 5-min elevator pitch and watch for feedback. people only have 5 min attention spans, if even. there are many topics to cover, so many 5-min elevator pitches have to be rehearsed. sometimes i mumble to myself like a crazy man rehearsing a spell, practicing words and tone.

this year i got several outdoor camping scheduled. it'll be the fireside philosophy chats, where they cannot run away, haha. really these are deoccultism sessions.

chess! i am seeing many bitcoiners interested in the game ))
