Been wanting to write something all day!

But everything staring me in the face is quite depressing.

The timeline:

1. Core vs Knots
2. Charlie Kirk
3. Civil War
4. Ukraine War
5. Gaza Genocide
6. Unthinkable horrors

Man-made horrors beyond comprehension

I saw some scientist manipulating a dead spider with a weird looking syringe with a caption implying that we will soon be able to move around dead arachnids remotely. Super neat. And then another one that was a Chinese mosquito drone. Also very cool. At a certain point the countermeasures that need to be employed against such technology will be equally absurd. Of course a lot of this tech we see today has already been around for 10 years (just classified) so that's fun to think about.

There's also the issue of quantum computing cracking encryption which would disrupt basically the entire internet and not just crypto. Again, it may have already happened and the entity that's achieved such a thing is just keeping it quiet and using it for the highest priority spying/theft as to not attract attention on the worldwide scale. It's all very black pill.

What is the black pill exactly?

Black Pill ideology is basically one of hopelessness. Nothing can get better in it's current state. All we can do is hope for complete systemic collapse and perhaps one day we can build something better from the ashes (assuming we survive the collapse). It's an ideology that seems to propagate itself through the incel male-loneliness community at lightning speed, and they even have a mascot named Ryan Gosling.

Civil War

Also when I see random idiots talking about how there's going to be a civil war between the left and the right I just can't get over how absolutely idiotic that concept is. As far as wars go all civilians are basically children in a playpen at this point. Imagine thinking you are gonna go out on the street with your little pea-shooter and do anything other than get labeled a domestic terrorist.

Absolutely insane to me that people think this is even a possibility on any level. Who's going to organize it? What infrastructure will you use? What is even the goal? Gonna use Discord to organize a raid against the "enemy"? Stop being delusional please and thank you.

Core vs Knots

The Knotzis are feeling really confident right now and reporting that 25% of all Bitcoin nodes are Knots. The entire codebase of Knots is controlled by this one guy Luke Dashjr. A guy who comes off to me as an annoying fundamentalist Roman Catholic. The rumors surrounding this guy are pretty alarming. Searching on Google doesn't yield results but some of the stuff people say on X about him is out of control. Unclear if there's any truth to the stuff so I won't repeat it here.

Point is you don't want one single guy who has a history of not listening to anyone solely in charge of your codebase, but that's what's going on with Knots. Of course maybe someone soft-forks core or Knots into yet another version of the software, which is fine by me (although probably not necessary).

The endless screeching on my timeline revolving around this debate is tedious and juvenile. If such a small insignificant issue could destroy Bitcoin it was never going to survive in the first place. Of course that's all delusional alarmism and propaganda trying to add weight to the argument. Huge nothing burger so far in my opinion.

Ukraine War

Is this still happening? Can we like... stop?
The fact that Trump is still funding this NATO shitshow is beyond unacceptable.

Conclusion

Ah well I think I'm all out of gas I had nothing in the tank today. Timeline has me completely drained.
Rant over.
