Foundation

12:43 AM - Eternal Principles - Twitter

Allie Beth Stuckey makes good points on how morality is dependent on God or the lack therein. Without the existence of a higher power, everything becomes permissible. That's subjectivity, relativity. It's better to live as if there is a God. Still, it is up to you to believe or not believe in God. I choose to follow Christ. If Jesus turns out to be fake, I still win. I don't lose anything. I only gain from living a life grounded on eternal principles. But you can do whatever you want.

Health

12:49 AM - Steemit - Health Blog

A hot shower is kind of like a sauna in your house. A beautiful thing. I was thinking about that a few hours ago. Body massages are the best.

PDX

12:54 AM - Steemit

I was in NYC in 2004. I should move there maybe.

Sex Coach

12:59 AM - Steemit

We are all products of sex. A beautiful thing. Like music, it rhymes, generation after generation. If I had a face like yours, I'd probably be a sex coach too. Welcome.

Airliners / Satellites

01:11 AM - Steemit

Are all large commerical airliners tracked by satellite at all times? If not, why not? I would love to know more about that.

Steem Pool

01:14 AM - Steemit

I am not too sure how I feel about two pools. If the first pool is already broken perhaps, then adding a second pool fixes the first pool how lol? If they both have leaks, so to speak, for example, then that is problematic.

Attention Engineering

01:16 AM - Steemit

Brave is good.

Hide & Share Books

01:46 AM - Steemit

The case for why we must continue to promote decentralized blockchain libraries is made in that one point with the prediction of how robbers would steal books and things from libraries. Actually, the Vatican (Catholicism), Islam, and possibly other religions, for centuries, if not longer, have been involved in burning books, in erasing history, etc. That's why it's fundamental to keep copies and to promote the 4th amendment of privacy. I'm not a private person to an extent, but some people should think about whether they want to be a public person or not. I can talk all day about Internet 3.0 and other things. Trying to protect history is so valuable as they try to change it. Many groups, since the dawn of time, try to control the flow of information and many things. So many things. So, there is so much we think we know that we may not know know. So, it's fundamental to understand philosophy, science, logic, common sense, wisdom, principles, brain power, the ability to compare, to contrast, to analyze, to cross examine, etc, etc, in order to recognize patterns, theories, facts, opinions, fallacies, in navigating history, reality, in order to promote better decision choices, etc.

Info Wars

Dr. Richard Day and/or Dr. Lawrence Dunegan sounds like the original Alex Jones of Infowars going back to before Alex was even born. Some globalists and others may have talked about Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 and certain plans for the future in books going back to the 1800's, if not even before that. So, it's not totally a secret. Some of it was less known of course. Long ago, only a few people knew what millions of people know now concerning things like how Rothschild got so rich, in how the Federal Reserve is NOT federal and is not a reserve, etc, etc. Many different things. So, that's the good news. The bad news is that the rulers of the world are accelerating their plans in a panic to stop us from stopping them and everything. I need to go investigate on Day more. I've not heard about Day before, but it does not totally surprise me.

Slavery

01:04 PM - Slavery is like hate speech because it has to be subjectively defined like hate speech is defined. Slavery could be defined as employment compensation that is too low. Well, how low is too low? Likewise, hate speech is interpretted by some to be free speech that is too bad, too hateful, too whatever you want to call it. But according to who?

Welfare

01:08 PM - Family Welfare vs Global Welfare. Parents give their children welfare. Some people seek after federal and even global welfare, partly due to a lust for safety over freedom. That's destructive. It goes against the design and meaning to life, to the process of life of character development of persevering through pain, through trials in finding and choosing better choices. Federal welfare means bigger government which means more power given to centralized tyranny. In theory, it feels nice to play God. That's what globalism is all about. It's about replacing God with global authoritarianism.

Double Betting

03:13 PM - Steemit

If upvoting increases as you are rewarded for upvoting posts that go on to get even more votes, which is like a betting game on being the early bird to be the first to vote for what will go on to be popular, viral, successful, huge; then, therefore, in theory, I would imagine that if there will be a second pool, then you will be rewarded to downvote and that the downvote power will increase in power, in weight, over time, in the same way that upvotes can increase and I would imagine that people could earn Steem money while downvoting and possibly could in theory upvote and downvote their own posts directly or at least indirectly through bots and other accounts and therefore win in double betting where either you win by picking the winner or the loser or you you win either way if you upvote and downvote posts to then get into a win-win situation where you win no matter what. Now, of course, not everybody would try to do that, but some could. So, what would be the effects and symptoms and results and consequences and everything from that? I'm not too sure exactly.

Fake Left / Right

03:21 PM - Steemit

Many governments were infiltrated. Therefore, the right wing is not actually conservatism and smaller government but RINO Globalism. I'm on the right. But, real right is not fake right. Fox News is fake right, for example. So, they lie about the two sides. So, call me up, then. The fake right and the fake left is down.

Google Trump Fake

03:26 PM - Steemit

This post is fake news to attack Trump. Lot's of people have to work with the mafia as they are all over places like New York. So, it's business. You work with bad people sometimes. Google promotes anything and everything that hurts Trump. Therefore, if this hurts Trump, then Google does highlight and does not hide it or bump it down on the search results to derank it.

Moon Star

03:34 PM - Steemit

To the moon. Launch her into space. Why? Because she's a star.

Preference

03:53 PM - Steemit

I would downvote flag something if I don't like it or whatever. But technically, specifically, I wouldn't downvote because it was over rewarded because I don't even know what over rewarded means. I mean, according to who? It's like the definition of hate speech or spam.

Perspective

It's like what is one person's garbage could be another person's treasure that might be priceless and therefore impossible to be over rewarded, if it is priceless. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Free Markets

In free markets, it is about supply and demand. So, an upvote could represent demand. Therefore, if there are more upvotes, then there is, in theory, more demand, and therefore perhaps more rewards or an over-reward or whatever we want to call it.

Freewill

Of course, we all have the freedom to upvote and downvote whatever we want for any reason. So, we can even say that we are downvoting what might be over-rewarded.

Hate Speech

We can also try to ban and remove hate speech and spam and guns and many things if we want. I wouldn't. I would simply downvote and say I'm downvoting because I hate it and not because it is like earning too much money.

Competition

I love money. I believe, if you make a lot of money, good for you. I'm not going to cry and say that you might be earning too much money. Why?

Subjective

Because that is a subjective argument. Like who decides who makes too much money? So, if Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, or others were over rewarded by being paid too much, then we could try to boycott them and make videos about how we should stop paying them via going to their games, concerts, buying their music, etc.

Too Much

If people are making too much on Steemit, then I guess we could downvote them and we could make videos and write posts encouraging people to not upvote their content and to maybe even downvote their content. Therefore, I guess, you might be right that this was over rewarded. I just did a logic circle. I'm back to the beginning. Maybe I should just delete this comment. But I'm just saying it depends lol.

Gremlins

03:58 PM - Steemit

My wife escaped the house, oh no, hide your wife, hide your kids lol. I love Gremlins.

Hollywood

05:44 PM - IWA

There are remedies to the IP problem. Well, the Infowars staff may be unaware or unwilling to cross over. @Hollywood might be unwilling as well, assuming he isn't trying to or whatever the case might be, technically speaking.

Anti-Suicide

05:46 PM - IWA

Anti-suicide is more effective if it is focused less on what NOT to do (SUICIDE) and more focused on finding purpose that is eternal.

Next Decade

05:50 PM - IWA

Next decade's war involves, in part, blockchain.

Protecting Intellectual Property

06:12 PM - IWA

Step one is keeping a record of what you did, like a poor man's copyright or patent where, instead of mailing yourself proof of your work, your invention, your thing, your whatever, through the snail-mail, the post office, instead, you could also make an online copyright archive as well for verifying that you had it first. I know you can't go back in time to archive the records. So, what I'm saying may not be applicable for the Griffin App, perhaps. I'm also not saying that you should do this for any future projects. But it depends on a few factors. Number one factor might be concerning whether or not you can protect your intellectual property from theft.

Blockchain

If you can't protect it, you could simply try to turn it to the world of open source and keep an archive of the whitepapers, the plans, the blueprints, the transactions, on blockchain so that it proves that you had it first. Then, maybe, you would win in the court of law, unless if judges are too dumb to get how blockchain works. I know, you could say that you would not publish your things online because they must be private. Perhaps, in the future, there will be some private blockchain networks out there where you can put stuff on there and keep it secret via encryption, etc, like Protonmail does, perhaps.

Hollywood: Yeah, that is what I thought too, but every time you create a document with word, every time you send and e-mail to someone or yourself there is a time stamp created with date and time created. So what is the difference?

Me: In other words, you don't know how blockchain works? You don't know about cryptography? Does that mean you are against decentralized networks that has fail-safe mechanisms for verifying transactions via multiple computers, etc, all over the world, decentralized, through a process, all at the same time, which means automated syncing, backups, copies, everywhere, possibly peer to peer, without an ability to remove what is put onto the blockchain as there is no rewind button as it goes and goes without stop?

PDX Prayer

06:49 PM - IWA

I pray that you gives us wisdom, guts, in connecting to people of influence in Portland, Oregon, especially The Salvation Army who has three churches and several different ministries in PDX; opportunities are all around us.

Over-Rewarded

07:27 PM - Steemit

Technically, payout comes on the 7th day of a post and therefore it was not over-rewarded yet because payout doesn't come until the 7th day; therefore, it might be silly to say that it was over-paid if it was not yet paid out yet. But yeah, you can say whatever you want. But people can choose to downvote anything for any reason, true.

But beyond that, why would you say that it does not deserve more money if other people believe it does deserve more money?

My Main Point

Is your main reasoning for downvoting based on how much money it earns or based on the quality of the post? I would downvote because the quality was too low as opposed to that the rewards were too high.

Why

Because I would rather my downvote focus on downvoting bad content as opposed to trying to keep certain people from making too much money. Of course, downvoting does both, but I think it would be better to not let the money part of it taint the ability to be objective enough in order to deem a post too bad.

Technically

Actually, I never downvote. I just upvote what I like and ignore what I dislike. But if I were to downvote, I would try my best not to let the money part contribute to who I downvote.

California Fires

07:35 PM - Steemit

Reminds me of Anne of Green Gables. There was a house fire. The town came to help put out the fire. Like you said, a town is a family, and that is the fundamental core to local community. It's priceless. Sorry to hear about the fires. There were some fires outside of Seattle, but not as bad as California. Yes, strong communities are unstoppable and it is our future. It starts with strong families.

VibraVid

07:56 PM - Steemit

Did you say video and audio? That's awesome. Audio is good for podcasting. I would love if you could even just play the audio to a video without the video.
