10k Good day from the frontier, friends.
The opening meditation by Señor Palmer from the Slop Tsunami episode was perfection. Thank you.
In other news, I want to take a moment to highlight how beneficial it can be to stack #40hpw of silence on top of the recommended weekly podcast regimen. In my experience, silence is the fiber I need to help the info. digest smoothly, thereby avoiding slop-arrhea.
Keep building, friends.

5.4k “I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.”
And I am a Pioneer.

420 I sometimes forget the level of understanding that can only come from 40HPW.
The Bugle Weekly has been a cornerstone of my 40HPW training since the first episode.
No noise, only signal 🫡

4.2k Dear Rod and Dick,
Solid content these last two episodes, including Dick’s commentary following his recent “debate”. I was also amazed by Brock’s inability to differentiate selfishness from self interest. We can care for and relate to others only to the extent that we care for and relate to ourselves, first and foremost.
Sincerely,
Jason

2.1k I got 21 projects but a bitaxe ain’t one 😂… glad this rip didn’t include any mentions of merrigolds.
Your 2nd chat with Travis was a school session. Been thinking about residential hotwater for a few months so the info related to hydro units (and new whatsminer) and boiler style indirect water heating was new to me and I’m a pretty seasoned (albeit whitecollar) MechE. Cheers

10k Top tier #40hpw for the #firstturning. We’re only scratching the surface of what is possible with communities built on abundance and v4v. All three of you are an inspiration.
Speaking of v4v, The First Turning Supper Club is collective of folks planning a collaborative feast of y(our) dreams during Lake Satoshi. This is an opportunity to play with v4v in the flesh. Send me a message to lend your time, treasure, or talent

10k Running behind on my #40hpw. Just catching up on the Easter episode. Just wanted to say that the Amish have already broken ground on the Daylight Savings soft fork. They don’t observe it. Imagine the power we wield if we join their gentle resistance, at least on this issue.

10k I’m thankful for the Southwest Michigan meetup, where likeminded humans gather in downtown Benton Harbor on the third Thursday of each month for fellowship and meaningful conversation spanning many domains. I leave inspired to continue building the world I want to see. Join us if you’re in the area.

10k ITM. Adam’s rant got me. Newer listener, love the show, the world still needs you both.
My take is the severity to which the mainstream media (along with the obv politicians) is corrupt and dishonest is becoming difficult to bear for many people. Maybe it’s because I’m new to your analysis and content, maybe not.
Please keep spreading truth.

5.4k If I hadn’t attended the Southwest Michigan Meetup, I may not have met Rev.Hodl. Today Rev helped me solve a mining issue not even AI could figure out. Turns out humans are still the purest form of signal, and meetups are a great place to find them.

Bitcoiners can learn a lot from the history of the band we know as Phish and the culture and circular econonmy that grew alongside them over the past 40+ years straddling the birth of the internet. Phish fans can learn a lot about the future of money built upon the internet, supported by a surprisingly similar culture with similar network effects built on human connection and aligned incentives that we call Bitcoin. Looking forward to expanding upon these concepts and maybe some music 😉!
