i have been calling my boomer friend dumb, stupid, retarded, a coward, etc. for not studying this material, i.e. for not going beyond bitcoin NGU-ism. i repeatedly apologize. last week he finally started paying a little bit more attention.

however, he says "how about u study all this, so that i don't have to, then give me the summary." omfg! i do not mind the research, but maybe i cud get some help or real encouragement?

anyways, now i have an acquaintance who is a battered woman, being genuinely interested in freedom education, so thank God for that at least.

the bitcoin meetup folks are intolerant of my freedom pills collectively, but one-on-one they are willing to listen a little bit. the tiny local so-called "freedom community" - forget it, they are pro-freedom in-name-only.

more pain is required in order for the masses to take action, maybe.
