Mesh networks do not have fixed “key nodes”. Nodes change constantly. Even bluetooth jammers are not absolute. “Localised node isolation” likely means local suppression (device seizures, pressure, interference), not technical neutralisation. Peer‑to‑peer paths will look for new nodes and reform

interesting, what have you implemented from the book to your daily practice? i generally prefer local source, homecooked and i am trying to expand my vegetable patch with whatever space i have, use diy pesticides, compost etc. A book that might correlate with yours, i’ve got fiber-fueled by Will Bulsiewicz on the list to read as i want to understand gut health better. it affects everything, your mood, immunity, energy, hormones, skin, brain, heart. i’m also curious about other diets, like how carnivore helps some with sibo and how keto reversed my mom’s diabetes.

congratulations on your book! I heard Jordon Peterson is very sick and i hope he is better. i like some of his work, disagree with some.
interesting bit on the bible by jack blanco. What are your thoughts on it? I've read the king james version, NKJV, NIV, and the extra chapters in the catholic bible. I see the writer is a seventh-day adventist, are you practicing? I saw a longevity documentary recently on Blue Zones, on how adventists in Loma Linda, California live so long through diet, community, and purpose. Is that part of your practice?
Btw, I saw your sourdough bread. I just started my own starter, any tips?

What comes next is that a few Exxon executives will go back to being obscenely rich, while Venezuelans remain poor after losing control over 80% of their oil reserves.
There is no country from which the US forcefully seized or restructured control over oil that ended up better off in the long run.
Gaddafi nationalized oil and ensured Libyans had free healthcare, free education, and one of the highest standards of living in Africa. Heck, he bridged left and right, something US has not been able to do. But instead the US army sodomized him to death in the name of “liberation from the dictator”, seized the oil and made Libya the poorest in the region.
Ironically, this Venezuela incident would have been a good moment for bitcoin influencers to say “bitcoin fixes this,” because the root of the issue drills down to currency war. Not justifying theft

Thank you, Jonathan, happy new year to you too! I think when you’re passionate about life, quiet consistency comes naturally =) Last year brought a lot of growth and peace, it wasn’t easy but it was worth every bit. I’m looking forward to this year and to more adventures. PS loving the guitar. Any expert tips?

When you look into a mirror, it is a reflection of the past because of the time delay (light reflection from eyes - mirror - eyes). Similarly when you gaze into the sky through a telescope, if you're looking at a star that's 10 light-years away, the light you see left that star 10 years ago. And so I’ve always wondered, if we sent rockets to outer space 10 light-years away looking back at Earth (through a telescope), could we get a visible glance of history and set the records straight ?

I have not read it. I did glance through - do you buy it? feels like what happens when Buddha meets Joe Rogan, or when you cross a joint and x files. Always wondered why aliens only visited America =) Then again, ancient India had sky chariots (vimanas), medieval Europe had angels and demons, so why not I guess. The only alien books i have read are romance related and somehow in those books they are not some skinny big headed green fellas, they are all some kinda muscle gods with glowing eyes, sharp jawlines, telepathic powers, and some kind of tragic emotional damage that only the human heroine can heal, and if that’s true, interplanetary may not be so bad.
You do have a nice selection of books, tho : Prelude of terror on CIA, The devil’s chessboard on JFK. Do you have a list?

What's your learning from it ? What's good and bad and how to make it better ?
I’d think branding (as in identity - what it does etc) and target audience (how to reach out to them) might help. If we see Nostr as the new internet, then everything is new here and needs more startups. Need more Kat :)

If you are doing a Val Kilmer tribute let me know. I would want to watch The Saint again, so sweet. Him in Tombstone was good too - as Doc Holiday i think ? Tho he would have made an excellent Gambit. Are you streaming it and planning to make it the next Netflix or Apple TV style on Nostr ? Or something different ?

Having kids and raising them well are two very different things. You seem like someone who knows the difference and is passionate about being a good father. Wishing you well. Wouldn't hurt not to pick on dog lovers on a weekend :) If you’re feeling fiery, there are always oppressive governments globally or bad people to take on instead.

I still have a faint slipper tan from the years of morning walks with my dog. He was an excellent sidekick. The kind who matches your energy for adventure, and teaches you stillness (except maybe during thunderstorms and fireworks). It’s been 5 months since I lost him, and it's kinda sad to see that tan slowly fading. I’ve had dogs since I was a kid - a spitz, an Alsatian, a mongrel, two goldens. Forever grateful to have known what unconditional love feels like.

Patents are meant to protect innovation, but often they do more harm than good.
In 2011, Google bought Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion to shield Android from lawsuits by Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle. Once the job was done, it sold Motorola to Lenovo for $2.91 billion. Motorola’s innovation legacy was never revived.
And out of 17,000 patents, only 18 were used. The rest just sat there. Meanwhile, companies like Qualcomm and Samsung faced 9,423 IP rejections. The unused patents blocked progress in the telco industry.
For smaller players, innovation becomes expensive or impossible due to licensing fees or legal risks.
Patents create dominant players who control entire markets. They block competition and stall progress. Even something as small as a connector design can shut out small builders. And if those patents are buried in some corporate junk drawer, they can hold back entire industries.
China does the opposite.
Although the maker culture started in the U.S., it thrives in China. Cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou are global prototyping hubs where entrepreneurs build custom devices with low friction and high creativity. In the U.S. the models are operating out of fear and protectionism. If the U.S. wants to compete, it needs to let creativity, imagination, and innovation thrive without drama.
The irony is not lost on me that one system empowers its people to build freely, the other seems to question their ability to innovate.
Before Tesla came about, GM and Ford were early movers in the EV industry but could not scale so they halted it. A few years later, Elon comes around, he understood that a fast-growing EV ecosystem would benefit everyone. A global hardware supply chain cannot thrive with one player alone. By open-sourcing Tesla's patents, he flipped the traditional approach, built the ecosystem, and ultimately led the market.
Can Open Source Win? It already has. Jack and Elon prove it everyday.
So do other billion-dollar open-source companies like Red Hat, MongoDB, and Redis Labs who hold it on their own as they go against big tech players Oracle, Microsoft, and Google. The power of open communities and network effects is real.
If the U.S. wants an innovation-driven economy, it has to let go of the fear of being copied. Hoarding IP has slowed it down. Sharing might just move it forward.

There is power in having passion and purpose, and in rediscovering them when things get tough.
When Bruce Lee first began training, he studied Wing Chun under Ip Man in Hong Kong. But he didn’t complete the system because some students rejected him due to his mixed ancestry.
Instead of letting that stop him, he went on to learn boxing for head movement and footwork, fencing for timing and distance, judo and jiu-jitsu for grappling, karate and taekwondo for precision kicking, Muay Thai and Savate for striking and clinch work, and Filipino martial arts like Kali (Silat), Eskrima, and Arnis for weapons and empty-hand techniques.
He stayed loyal to the purpose, not the path. Passion kept him moving forward.
That allowed him to create his own style of martial art, the Jeet Kune Do, or “The Way of the Intercepting Fist.” JKD was a philosophy of adaptability.
In a 1971 interview with Pierre Berton, Bruce spoke about teaching martial arts to Hollywood actors like James Garner and Steve McQueen. When asked if he was teaching them acting, he said, “This might sound too philosophical, but it is unacting acting, or acting unacting.”
Sometimes, you have to unlearn, to learn.
Bruce believed that the most honest expression required both instinct and discipline. It is a balance, a harmony. Its about being real, in motion and in presence.
He said, “Here, you have natural instinct. And here, you have control. You must combine the two in harmony. If you only have one in the extreme, you become unscientific. If you only have the other, you become mechanical. No longer a human being. So, it's a successful balance of both. Therefore, it's not just pure naturalness or pure unnaturalness. The ideal is unnatural naturalness or natural unnaturalness.”
One of Bruce Lee's most powerful principles was: “Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, and add what is uniquely your own.”
In many ways that made JKD more of an open-source approach to martial arts rather than a structured and closed system. His thinking paved the way for modern mixed martial arts (MMA).
But more than that, it became a philosophy of life.

Nice vs. Kind
One avoids pain. The other risks it to help.
Being Right vs. Being Successful
Being right wins the argument. Being successful wins the outcome.

Love vs. Attachment
Love gives freedom. Attachment destroys it.
Honesty vs. Transparency
Honesty tells the truth when asked. Transparency tells it without being asked.
Confidence vs. Arrogance
Confidence is based on self-awareness. Arrogance is based on insecurity.
Vision vs. Control
Vision invites people forward. Control pulls them back.
Being Liked vs. Being Respected
Being liked wins moments. Being respected wins missions.
Agreement vs. Alignment
Agreement is consensus. Alignment is commitment.
Roles vs. Value
Roles define responsibility. Value defines impact.
Invention vs. Innovation

Thank you for such a well written and detailed thought of the recent election. I value your input. I have to say, I do not know enough about Germany but I do want to add it to my reading list next. Love the pastries though, next level!
I have a few more questions if you don't mind. Feel free to respond whenever you can.
1. The taxation scenario you described is heavy Keynesian influence paired with elements of socialism. Has it always been this way ? Do you think this is sustainable?
2. I recall reading about how economic instability and dissatisfaction with both socialism and capitalism during the interwar years created fertile ground for Hitler’s rise, with big companies initially supporting him. Do you think these ideological tensions have always existed in Germany, or are they resurfacing in a new form today?
3. How does a centralised monetary system like the Euro benefit /disbenefit Germany ?
4. My current book is on the painful impact of Great Britain from the IMF during mid 70s. From it I got a bigger picture on the strained relationship between Europe and the US. Do you see this translating in the EU ?
5. In light of yesterday’s leaked message regarding the Yemen bombing, where JD Vance criticized Europe, do you see tensions between Europe and the U.S. influencing EU policies or public sentiment?
6. You mentioned societal values. Do you think the memory of WW2 still influences Germany’s political and cultural identity today? How does this impact the younger generations?
7. The geographical split you mentioned is fascinating. Has this always been a defining feature of German politics, or is it more pronounced now due to recent economic and social factors?

I love Edgar’s ballet renditions and I love how dreamy Monet pieces are. I appreciate Picasso’s multi-dimensional view on a 2D piece - can’t imagine what he must be seeing in his mind before he painted. The Sistine Chapel blew me away, but the Mona Lisa felt overhyped after walking through the Louvre’s maze. But I love Leonardo's sketches, it's always been an inspiration. Over time, I’ve realized art is deeply subjective - sometimes an expression, like Dalí or guerrilla art, other times an emotion, like Monet or Rene Magritte. My thoughts on it evolve, but that’s the beauty of art I reckon

I think it’s brilliant and sometimes hard to pick one or the other. My perceptions are slightly diff based on what I read, personal interest and bias. For example I’m contemplating if Plato was right abt democracy all along. I like Locke’s 'starting from scratch' but I likely lean heavier towards Descartes level headed attributes. I’ve been reading Hemingway and his prose and simplicity is addictive. I find Freud’s ‘blame everything on childhood’ dramatic at times, but when parents split or abandon their kids for long periods I remember Freud’s perspective. I'm appreciating Jung's theory but I'd pair neurology with it. I like existentialism but essence is real too. Paris likely more romantic and Rome more masculine.

why not turn it off ? i think finding inner stillness is powerful and its not just meditation but awareness, detachment, turning off emotional triggers, understanding what your mind consumes - the whole package. then you don't have to force silence as you are no longer reacting

Love it. Started this year with a morning routine, 6-7am pilates, 7am - 8am walk in the park for circadian rhythm reset. First month I was cursing myself, but the sleep cycle started improving, the sleep quality got better, the work has higher focus and it feels happier with the morning sun. Keep going!

This was good. The dynamic between Josh and Andrew was like this perfectly balanced pendulum swing that didn’t lose its inertia. Josh spoke from deep experience and philosophical understanding, while Andrew grounded it in science and insights from other powerful thinkers.
There’s so much from his Art of Learning that stands out where instead of mastering all at once, you refine tiny aspects of a skill until they become second nature. Also in understanding that the most heartbreaking, devastating moments often serve as catalysts for the biggest growth.
I love how he focuses on finding harmony in chaos by detaching from those intense emotions, this is rooted in Taoism practices. He also adapted Jiu Jitsu into his understanding. Accordingly, when you let go of ego and not be in a dominant position all the time, you will find other angles to win. My favorite is probably the MIQ (Most important Question) - What’s the one thing that, if I focused on it, would bring the biggest improvement? This is such a chess move.
Josh Waitzkin won national chess championship 8 times, and International Master (just below Grandmaster at the age of 16). He left chess because of politics and went on to become a world champion in Jiu Jitsu. He also coaches companies and individuals on high-leverage focus, adapting under pressure, and turning struggles into strengths.
I love the way he approaches life as he constantly finds ways to grow. He prioritizes depth over surface-level achievements or transactional connections.
And I love his lifestyle. He lives in the jungle with his wife and kids, practices martial arts and water sports, and continues to improve himself.
There is a movie on his early life from a book written by his father called Searching for Bobby Fischer that came out in ‘93. Weekend goals
