Meditation is not about turning off your thoughts (good luck with that), it's about redirecting them. If you catch yourself drifting away 20 times in a 5 minute meditation and you bring yourself back 20 times, that's a successful meditation, not a failure. As long as you stay focused on what you want to focus on and catch the mind when it drifts away, you are meditating. It's called a practice because like any other skill or exercise, the more you work at it, the easier it gets. And when you get good at it during your designated meditation time, you find yourself using it all day long. Just like weight lifting makes you stronger in general, meditation makes you mindful in every area of your life.

Arab Countries, Including Morocco, to Participate in Future Peace Mission in Gaza
===============
#f75da1df ver:0.28
Arab countries, including Morocco, will participate in a future peace mission in Gaza led by the United States. The goal is to establish a peacekeeping force composed exclusively of Arab countries to guide the transition process and pressure Israel towards peace. Saudi Arabia has chosen not to join. Former President Trump criticizes Israel's war strategy and President Biden's lack of support. The vulnerability of Israel is discussed, and the US potential to lead on trade is highlighted. Gen. Wesley Clark warns that Iran may strike indirectly to avoid direct attribution. The US is raising tariffs on Chinese imports, Berlin explores tax breaks for longer working hours, Putin invests in Russia's armed forces, and Trump allies rally around him. #Gaza #PeaceMission #Israel #ArabCountries #Trade...

Later releases of BSD provided the basis for several open-source operating systems including FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, Darwin and TrueOS. These, in turn, have been used by proprietary operating systems, including Apple's macOS and iOS, which derived from them[2] and Microsoft Windows XP, which used (at least) part of its TCP/IP code, which was legal.[3][better source needed] Code from FreeBSD was also used to create the operating systems for the PlayStation 5,[4] PlayStation 4,[5] PlayStation 3,[6] PlayStation Vita,[7] and Nintendo Switch.[8][9]

I think this is a great idea. And I have a solution to the bootstrap problem.
The solution is: interpretation of proxy data “as if” it were NIP-77 formatted data. For example, if you “like” a wikifreedia article filed under Category X, my software interprets that “as if” you issued a NIP-77 attestation, to that author, in the context of X. But since like != trust (well, maybe it does and maybe it doesn’t, I have no way of knowing), I “interpret” a really low confidence, like maybe 1% or 5%. That way, we start out with a sea of NIP-77-formatted trust data. And you’ll know that if you REALLY trust someone in some context, like if I REALLY trust @npub1a2c…w83a to write wikifreedia articles on economics, and if I want my app to give an added boost to her other content and I’m OK with saying this publicly, then I’m gonna have to issue an actual NIP-77 attestation and set the confidence to something more meaningful than 1% or 5%. In this way, the pool of high quality contextual trust attestations can accumulate gradually.

Yes, i think most people here are pro bitcoin but some find it a bit much. Especially when it's not really content and just saying slogans over and over, not sure this is all that interesting is it? (I mean, I've even see people from bitcoin twitter have been put off by this on nostr lol, imagine). I think i see it as borderline zapfarming. Besides you will probably definitely see content of an interesting bitcoin post because it will be reposted like mad, there's not much chance of that going amiss. I would add all the slogans to mute, ideally. In a feed like this imo. Ideally I would also have some sort of detection to mute image posts of ai bitcoin art. (Just reeling off what I would ideally have lol, not saying you should do this or whether it's even possible.)
I think with major price moves there should be a special feed lol. Nostr is pretty much unusable at those times.
I think a lot of this will be solved with topic feeds? I don't know :)

DECISION MAKING
The next time you feel intimidated by the prospect of making a choice and you don't feel anything in your heart one way or the other, just keep quiet, but without waiting for something to appear. You are going to have to bear some discomfort for a bit because something inside will not want to experience that feeling of not knowing. Something wants to go, but just sit with that uneasiness.
Remain as awareness itself. Then, at some point, everything will calm down. A kind of recognition rather than a decision may enter your heart. The way forward may clearly manifest, and you simply move in a certain direction.

A vida na sociedade baseia-se na aceitação geral e costumeira de certos princípios tácitos, que servem de critério de julgamento nos instantes de confrontação e dúvida. É o que Antonio Gramsci, dando ao termo uma conotação peculiar, denominava “senso comum”.
O próprio Gramsci reconhecia que o senso comum predominante nas nações ocidentais refletia, grosso modo, a cosmovisão cristã, mesmo em versão laicizada e amputada de quaisquer referências religiosas.
A demolição desse senso comum tornou-se desde os anos 60 o objetivo prioritário do combate cultural revolucionário. Mas nem de longe imaginem que “combate cultural” significa uma luta de ideias, uma disputa entre eruditos. Não significa nem mesmo propaganda ou “doutrinação”.
As pessoas que me escrevem queixando-se da “doutrinação esquerdista” que seus filhos recebem nas escolas, venho há anos tentando explicar que os bons tempos da doutrinação e da propaganda já acabaram, que há décadas o sistema educacional ameaça a integridade mental das nossas crianças com algo de bem mais perverso e temível: um conjunto de técnicas de manipulação comportamental que permitem moldar ou modificar atitudes e hábitos diretamente, sem passar pela inculcação de idéias e crenças, isto é, sem qualquer apelo ao pensamento consciente.
Já falei disso no meu livro de 1996, O Jardim das Aflições, e recentemente a Vide Editorial publicou, a conselho meu, a obra-padrão sobre o assunto: Maquiavel Pedagogo ou O Ministério da Reforma Psicológica, de Pascal Bernardin.
A doutrinação comunista clássica baseava-se nas artes da dialética, da retórica e da propaganda, e procurava inculcar na mente do público uma concepção do mundo, da história e da política, o que não era possível sem mostrá-la como alternativa a alguma concepção concorrente, alimentando discussões.
As novas técnicas não têm nada a ver com retórica e propaganda. Baseiam-se inteiramente nas chamadas “ciências da gestão”: engenharia social, marketing, gerenciamento, psicologia comportamental, programação neurolinguística, Storytelling, Social Learning e Reality Building.
Um dos efeitos mais diretos da aplicação dessas técnicas em escala de massas é a disseminação epidêmica de um estado crônico de “dissonância cognitiva”, um quadro mental descrito pioneiramente por Leon Festinger em 1957. Dissonância cognitiva é conflito entre as crenças e a conduta.
Dissonâncias cognitivas temporárias são normais e até desejáveis no desenvolvimento humano. Quando o quadro se torna crônico, rompe-se a unidade da consciência moral e o indivíduo tem de buscar fora dele mesmo, na aprovação grupal ou na repetição de slogans ideológicos, um sucedâneo da integridade perdida. Ao espalhar-se entre a população, a incapacidade de julgar realisticamente a própria conduta resulta na queda geral do nível de moralidade, assim como na disseminação concomitante da criminalidade e das condutas destrutivas, mas isso, segundo os engenheiros sociais, é um preço módico a pagar pela dissolução do senso comum e pela implantação dos novos modelos de conduta desejados.
