based

You know it when you read it.
You know it when you see it.
It's just one word.
based
Based, ser.

Here's what I think it means:
  • Independent minded
  • Didn't fall for the covid scam
  • Believes in freedom
  • Opposite of woke
  • Capable of doing physical things, not just keyboard warrior
  • Tending towards self sufficient

I still don't know what based me honestly
reply
Yep. That's me.

Well pointed

Congrats and all the best for the territory.
Why do you think ~based is gonna attract stackers to jump in here when we have two or three more territories on the same?
reply
So what is the type of thing that might be shared here?

I made a couple of posts of what I believe to be inspiring stories from based people.
And
I'm interested to see how other stackers interpret it.

Congratulations and good luck with the new territory

What is based?
reply
Based refers that which is well founded usually in principal, social relation, emotion, or mind.
A child can be considered based if he or she doesn't have social anxiety or isn't affected by emotional or social pressures and are set out in the right direction, most likely having been raised and strengthened by good parents.
Bitcoin is based. Satoshi Nakamoto did a wonderful thing; setting Bitcoin on the foundation of freedom, self-control, value and wealth, ethics, honesty, unity, decentralization, simplicity; and even without corruption.
reply
So is it like being able to see that which is true for oneself with out the social conditioning?
reply
Yeah you can go with that I guess.
'Having descretion by sight or by living/deportment. Unwavering.' (As refering to a human being)
reply
A synonym I forgot to use here is 'resilience'
reply
I definitely understand it better than I did. Is it a term people find triggering?
reply
Speaking from my view: it doesn't trigger. It's used in the context of tension between based as opposed to corrupt. 🤔
I see the the term used in comments on Youtube. Usually the video recorded something contensious and the commentors siding with the "based" one.
reply
How often do those who are corrupt have conscious awareness of such.
reply
Good question! I'm afraid I don't have the answer to that! I wonder about it so much myself. Can one who is not a villan put himself in the mind of a villan? Truth wins in the end, though it may be after a bruise to humility, which in turn, rendered itself exalted.
Hmm. I think I kind of get it. Thanks for the response.
reply
I struggle with the definition of the word too. Maybe it's our age? 😀
reply
I'm 13 years old. Maybe I'm too young.
reply
I haven't looked into it at all. But I have seen it around. I'm dead serious that I have no idea what it is. Instead of looking it up I want to hear from stackers.
reply
My probably wrong impression is that it means solid and stable, as opinions go.
reply
Like grounded in an idea. Unshakeable?

I got nothing else. I have exhausted my ideas. Let's leave it to the experts.
reply
We better leave it to the scientists.
