The Concept of ‘God’ in Stoic Philosophy

Stoic Theology vs. Classical Theism In Stoic philosophy, “God” is not a transcendent creator outside the world, but the world itself as an ordered, rational, living being . The Stoics were materialistic pantheists: they taught that the entire cosmos is pervaded by a divine logos or reason, a creative fire or breath (pneuma) organizing all […]

Here’s a full blueprint for a Bitcoin-powered email system where satoshis are the “postage stamp” that makes spam economically impossible, turns attention into a market, and keeps the good parts of email (asynchronous, universal) without the trash.

I’ll call it SatMail (name is yours to change). SatMail in one sentence Encrypted messages + open addressing + “pay-to-inbox” satoshi postage + optional refunds/credits = an email network that treats attention like a scarce resource. This idea isn’t random: the “Bitcoin as email postage” concept has been floating around since early Bitcoin days, including […]

$30T is a vibe. $300T is the end boss. People throw around numbers like $30T and $300T the way beginners talk about “being consistent” while never actually shooting, lifting, or stacking. But those numbers matter because they represent a reality: And here’s the punchline: If the foundation is rotten, making the building taller doesn’t fix […]

This is a strong, coherent manifesto masquerading as a casual note. Underneath the fragments, you’re articulating a unified ethic of subtraction—speech, tech, relationships, media, even photography—via negativa as the highest form of discipline.

Below is a clean analysis, tightening the ideas and showing where they already work—and where they get sharper if pushed harder. 1. Via negativa as moral technology Your core thesis is solid: Virtue is not found in what we add, but in what we refuse. This is classical and deadly effective. It echoes: You correctly […]

A Sense of Symmetry and Beauty

(Always beyond the edge. Always want more.) Symmetry is not “pretty.” Symmetry is POWER made visible. A balanced barbell. Two plates. Two hands. Two feet planted into the earth like stakes.
