My fellow retards,
At this point, you know phon/ongod is schizo. That is neither good nor bad. Some people just think differently, come to different conclusions than what is currently accepted by society.
Sometimes that is because phon/ongod is uneducated on all the details but usually it’s just a difference of informed opinion. Unequivocally, drawing your own conclusions will benefit you in the long run. If you find someone who can challenge your accepted notions of various aspects of the world, and that you cannot defend yourself, then GOOD. You can change your opinions and evolve. Phon/ongod did not exist 5 years ago, because that collection of molecules was an entirely different persons, with different belief systems, different understandings of the world, etc.
A great way to change the way you think is by reading. Fiction and non-fiction can both alter your perspective of the world. Read Howard Zinn’s “A Peoples’ History of the United States”. You’ll think the USA is the most savage and disgusting nation ever created. That is sort of his goal, though it should not necessarily be your takeaway. Maybe you’ll be able to view some of the more gruesome aspects of America’s past from a new, more empathetic perspective.
Go read Lord of the Rings. You’ll be immersed in a fantasy land with complex interactions between humans and humanoids. You’ll understand and experience the fight of good vs evil, you’ll likely pick a side, and you’ll be emotionally attached.
Go read The Count of Monte Cristo, and you’ll have an appreciation for the great lengths one man will go to enact revenge. You may be inspired by Edmond Dantès and his true commitment.
When we read…when we educate ourselves, our perspective on complex situations likely change. If you watch boomer networks such as the BBC for years you will surely have been told that bitcoin is criminal money, only used by drug dealers and denizens of an underworld you want nothing to do with.
If instead you went to an early bitcoin meetup around the time of the silk road, you’d likely meet visionaries, inspired to create a new system that does not enshrine an oligopolic class that forever preys upon those stuck wagecucking. Lots of this shit is perspective, and through education we can change our perspective and understanding.
If you challenge yourself to come to your own conclusions, you open yourself up for criticism. Good. This is how you better learn your belief system. Also, it allows you to discover alpha way before society realizes what is happening.
Whenever one of phon/ongod’s elves comes to a conclusion with conviction, it is time to sit and think…draw things on paper and try to poke holes in the thought process. Doing this has been wildly beneficial and has lead to an independent goat farmer, who can wake up when they choose, and live life as they desire.
One trick to live by is to find people to explain the thought to, and if they can understand it, see if they are not also excited. If they can poke holes, if they do not get excited, then maybe the idea isn’t so great…but if their questions are met with valid answers and they begin to grok the system and share phon/ongod’s excitement, that is confirmation that the idea might just be something real.
Go try this with Phonon. Try to explain Phonon as best you can to a novice. Maybe someone who knows a little crypto but definitely not immersed in the ecosystem. Explain what phonon endows to other assets, how it scales, how it is private, and see if their eyes light up. If their response is that this is dumb, and you should fuck off, well you should keep that as a data point too. In phon/ongod’s case, nobody has yet left the PHONON conversation in a state of indifference. Once they get it, they get excited. Many of them are now in the discord, some contributing, some lurking, all eagerly reading pheverdreams and loving it.
Take the phonon pill, spread it to others, let’s all get high on the thrill of what is to come.
