When one gets old, and less likely to be surprised by happenings, perhaps one’s ability to be informed decreases, yet I am finding the entertainment value increases.

I await the issuance of a Call Sign. Does anyone have information on how long that takes? I will start with a little QRZ-1 HT that is recommended for beginners. I believe I have enough information to keep myself busy with it for some time, but I expect to be back later for help learning how to connect my bitcoin and lightning nodes to the blockchain via radio. #HamRadio npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici It is reported that the president is trying to keep us out of war as he continues bombing in 3 countries. The president argues that the retaliatory attacks are defensive in nature and within the Executive authority without additional Congressional authorization. That doesn’t resonate with me. Does it for you? #asknostr npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Who else would you expect to do it? npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Thanks, I do have questions. As I read the exam book, I see different implementations of digital radio, making it appear that talkgroups implemented by one version will not be available to users whose radios have a different implementation. Is this a limitation of the radio or will most digital radios be able to tune to most talkgroups? If it is a radio limitation, is there information about which digital implementation would be preferable? It appears the yeas VX6R is without this capability to participate in talkgroups, is that right? #hamradio npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I am learning about ‘talkgroups’ on HAM radio. As I am researching for my first amateur radio, are their any features I should consider in order to facilitate participate in talk groups? #hamradio npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I expect to attain my ham license soon. My interest are to be able to have access to information that might provide situational awareness over the amateur network. I am looking at a starter radio and believe a Yaesu FT-65R HT might be the thing. If there are recommendations for a different starter radio, please share them. Is there a mobile radio, convertible to a base station that I should consider? #hamradio npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Let us avoid metaphysics together. But if you have a description from your experience of a compelling authority over the ruling class, I would like you to share that with me. My experience tells me such an authority is some type of ‘general will’ or ‘banding together’ (i.e., a religion) of like minded actors, who compel compliance to their orthodoxy with a collective sanctioning and suppression of types of thinking. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I agree, but in doing so I can describe no compelling authority over tyranny. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Would that it were that some higher power compelled the ruling class. Sometimes, I foolishly believe that I myself am compelled by that higher power when I act in accordance with the laws I establish and the punishments I deliver. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I can not make distinction among work, hard work, more work. In my understanding, the possibilities are already maximized, work is what actualizes potentialities and creates reality. No work ‘guarantees’ results, impact or an intended reality, but all work ‘guarantees’ change. As I ponder how work actualizes intent, I believe there is only the actor’s judgment to determine. Yet the collective action of a population does not rest on a singular intent but what it effects becomes our unintentional reality almost by definition. I find this unintentional or unintelligent reality somewhat beautiful. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici When you say ‘must’, i.e., then upon whom is the requirement levied, who is compelled? Clearly that actor is not complying in accordance with this ‘must’. What is to be done about that? npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici What is the distinction between work and hard work? All work actualizes possibilities. Would you say hard work actualizes more possibilities or would more work actualize more possibilities? Back to what is the distinction between more work and hard work? npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici How do you reconcile 'cash must not be banned' with 'cash being banned'? npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici The people versus the deep state is politics. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici There is no need to kick someone down neither in political or social interactions in order to raise yourself. Kicking down is doing it wrong. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Some love to submit to authority and some love to wield it. As a boomer myself, I am wary of both. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici For many, the approval of the authorities is a prerequisite. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I don't know if I am a peek, but I am 72 years old npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Not much remains after what the government can take by force. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici The benefit of technology is freedom. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Human technology has changed agriculture since it emerged into the complexity of our world. I don’t understand its effect on mankind, but it has benefited most men. Bitcoin technology has changed finance since it emerged into the complexity of our world. I don’t understand its effect on mankind, but it has, so far, benefited some men. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici What is revealed by the answer to the question ‘is the world more complex because humans were in it’? npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Some believe “that “people hate Jews because of the way Jews behave”. Others believe that people hate Muslim because of the way Muslims behave. Either way, the someone will be blamed for the complexity that arises from the coming chaos and they will call that blaming an understanding of history. As both sides attempt to awaken the sleeping giant, neither knows - “. . . what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?” What is revealed by the answer to the question ‘is the world more complex because humans were in it’? #politics #history #asknostr npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici The forces that bind theoretical understanding are doing so at the expense of scientific understanding.

Judgements of ‘informed’ are as superfluous as they are sanctimonious. The appearance of the schismogenesis that is necessary for change is what generates the flow, dogma lapses into a stunting stability. We shall see how robust these forces imposing ‘right think’ are as they continue trying to make the world safe for democracy. Those who ‘believe’ in one reality are threatened by other realities, just as Newtonian physics is threatened by Einstein’s physics as the description of the real. Neither is proven true, both provide value to their communities of believers, but one community appears larger. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Silicon bags? npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici How do I open links like this with primal?

I see that a start9 VPN is targeted for a future upgrade. I am awaiting the blockchain to sync before I look more a the start9 Nostr Relay. I will tend not to expose my IP address for a Relay. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici If theories, theologies and theater of the community persist in sustaining it members, even to the last of them, is there something else to be said about its benefit as an instrument. Do those things really exist elsewhere? npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I would like to install PIA VPN on my new #start9 server running on a raspberry pi. Anyone have any experience or advice about proceeding with accepting “DIRE CONSEQUENCES of doing so”. I ran to this when I first started: THIS IS NOT A STANDARD DEBIAN SYSTEM USING apt COULD CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO YOUR START9 SERVER PLEASE TURN BACK NOW!!! npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici "In a statement shared on social media, WoS announced that it had voluntarily removed its app from the US-based app stores and would no longer serve US customers." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/bitcoin-lightning-wallet-of-satoshi-vanishes-amidst-rising-transaction-volume/ar-AA1ksEmF npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Is the relay menu something at becomes available after installation of the Relay? Is it available to see elsewhere? npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Anyone using the Nostr RS Relay from the Start9 marketplace? I am looking for advice on setup and configuration. Any site you might share on the subject would be appreciated. #relays #relay #start9 npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici To whom is one reported for nudity? npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I should have said it was my great nephew (~20 years old) who looks for moral clarity in the events of today. As the young person he is, he believes that there is some eternal, transcendental truth existing outside of our experience by which we are able to make sense of our experience. Being an old man, I was no help. I beleive that the sense we make or our experience is within the communities we share our perspectives which allows for the emergence of our shared reality. The will to power has always made more sense to me than the unmoved mover. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I take myself to be more of a skeptic than a critic regarding democracy. I agree that some measure of the expression of the people’s ‘will’ seems necessary to satisfy the definition of democracy. Perhaps that could be done by vote, but I reject the assumptions necessary to synthesize a totality of votes into an expression of the people’s will. I am all in with the transparent technologies that allow for communities of like minded people to emerge through the exchange of ideas. The technology you are building may have some value in the communities that accept that technology. In those communities where it is imposed, I will always have doubt. Thus I am here, on nostr. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici My nephew wants to talk about how to find some moral bearing in the many confusing narratives of the phenomena of our experience. I told him that morality and rationality seem similar to me. They are both what emerges within a community of like-minded thinkers sharing their perspectives. Those things exists only within the narratives of those communities. Whether those communities persists depends on the benefit their narratives convey to the members of those communities. We will talk tomorrow. Nostrs, let us continue to share and allow those things which will benefit us to emerge. #nostr #plebchain #grownostr npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Until you can identify the authority that will separate elections from the state, I will continue to believe that what you call the two fundamental problems with elections are not bugs from the prospective of those running the elections. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici ELIJAH J.

It is the love of money that is the root of all evil. The love of Bitcoin is probably not different. The proper use of money is not the root of evil. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Can you say more about how it is an exercise in Hegelian dialectic? I laughed at it like the boomer I am, but it has been too long since I read Hegel to catch that relationship. Thanks npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Words are meaningful or meaningless only when used. Not in silence. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici Be careful if your words could damage. Being silent is to much like hiding your light under a basket. It doesn't help anything. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I don’t know whether other clients do this, but with primal, I can create and save search criteria for several hashtags (i.e., ‘#damus OR #nostr OR #primal'; ‘#bitcoin AND #finance’, etc ). Can someone identify other clients that have this capability and how they do it? Thanks #asknostr npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I have a raspberry pi 4 with 4GB ram and a 2012 intel Mac mini with 16 GB Ram, both with 1TB SSDs.

Perhaps I am becoming too closed minded beleiving it functions to mediate sharing. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici But nostr is also social media. It just mediates differently. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I am an old man who has come to beleive all life is mediated. It does become more intersting when one tries to identify what is mediating life. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici I think I Love Lucy came first. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici A fascinating article on evolution - about novel findings that natural selection does not based on randomly generated adaptive traits. Instead, the environment, culture and lifestyle create traits. Those who believes these traits are created purposely might be inclined to believe some moral license give them authority to change the environment, culture and lifestyle for their ends. Careful of these people. Traits are created regardless of whether there is intelligence, intent or morality behind them. #science #evolution #nostr https://www.theguardian.com/science/2010/mar/19/evolution-darwin-natural-selection-genes-wrong npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici She has three hands. npub1pafs9m45dmsles3h6e6lna96fn2hyv2sq42e634y5jg7tf373kkst90qf3 medici The end, or the goal, is the only thing that can provide justification to the means, or method, of obtaining that goal. If the means justified itself, it would somehow become the goal. Perhaps scratching as a means to relive an itch is an example of this. There are some means to an end that cannot be justified. For instance, if one’s goal is to end human suffering, then means of killing all humans might attain that goal. I wouldn’t say the means were justified.
