Absolutely, change is always driven by a stubborn minority that is not willing to compromise, and the rest sort of follow the incentives once they click. change is always done on the fringes of society and I am glad to be able to witness it first hand and take it all in or rather be awake to see it all.
I have a tech and economics background and I fell for the jargon, narratives and complexity theatre that comes with new technology or rather those trying to replicate an elegant solution like bitcoin.
I see a lot of this tech still drawing from fiat money ideology, that we can use clever accounting tricks and cut corners to get a free lunch. The world doesn't work like that, you either spend or conserve energy, trying to avoid that only causes pain but they'll find that out in due time.
I appreciate the analogy, and I do feel the limitations of hard drive space I don't want to have to have a second job of a researcher just to use something. I get that too, I think a case of we've become so good at outsourcing labour, we outsource our food production, outsource our access to information, outsource the control and enforcement of our energy and property, we are so deadly scared of taking personal responsibility we're willing to pay any cost not to do it.
I had a listen to one of your podcasts, I think you're asking the right questions and you're on the right path and you'll find the answers you seek soon enough I am sure. I think that perhaps this mindset may not reward you in the short term but long term I think it will be hugely rewarding, I guess that's the contrarian position, you're vilified until you're not and then seen as some sort of servant lol
Will try to keep up with your episodes when I have a moment
I've been trying to remove some of the noise and produce content of more signal away from the clutter so people who are looking for answers can find them. If you're interested you can find it here
Beautiful, @chekohler - yes, we're all in our own realm of expertise, and doing the divine work to pull us all into harmony and light - and we need to transform all areas of life, for the betterment of all - it's a time of much work! I'm very interested in how we create structures that 'represent' the Truth about energy: the Truth being that we are able to create free energy ourselves, through our consciousness, and this should be reflected in our systems and constructs. We're still mostly working in the fear-tension-pain cycle, which is linked to atrophy and entropy - but we're starting to comprehend - individually and collectively - that we can work also with the harmony-expansion-bliss cycle - and everything turns out very differently! We've only just connected and begun to co-create globally, and it's bound to begin in chaos, panic, friction - but there's also an immense expansive force flowing through us all, which wants to co-create creatively rather than destructively... we're doing it :-D
Indeed that's why we prosper as humans, because we can all specialize in something and then trade with one another creating access to so much more than we could on our own, but the method and rails in which we trade have been corrupted and that's created a lot of downstream issues.
I'm not yet a believer in free energy, there's always a marginal cost, are we getting better at creating it and accessing the potential energy spectrum, absolutely, and I hope we continue. giving people access to cheaper energy in different forms, can bring about so much more possibilities then this centralization of energy we have today.
Where only a few people get to push their ideas and influence into the world.
I think we need to get used to being uncomfortable, no strides were made while sitting cosy, from the wheel to the computer, we faced a problem, we faced uncomfort and uncertainty, and came up with solutions.
