NEW PREMIUM CONTENT - An Argument for Rights

A great question from a listener on X!

"I never liked the argument that rights come from God, because many people are godless or believe in a God or a God that doesn't grant those rights. What are the best secular arguments for rights? What are the best secular arguments for the rights we cherish in the Bill of Rights? How do we convince the atheists?"

Objections to Expanding OP_RETURN in Bitcoin Core 30

This clip comes from "BITCOIN UPGRADE WAR!", get the full show at https://fdrpodcasts.com/6096

Bitcoin's future is at risk! Expanding OP_RETURN could flood the network with low-value data, harming decentralization and opening doors for illegal content. Bitcoin must remain a secure, monetary network! 🚫💾

I'm trying a different style of writing, let me know what you think!

Today's X Space...

I had to merge two files, can you tell me if there is any significant overlap?

Thanks!

Today's X Space...

I had even more viewers than Jimmy Kimmel when I was banned out of existence.

No one cared.

Most cheered.

Don't let the bastards trick you into thinking they have any principles.

Their only 'principle' is POWER.

NEW PREMIUM CONTENT - Should I Be Bigger?

I reflect on the tragic loss of Iryna Zarutska and the challenges of addressing sensitive topics with depth rather than reactionary content. I discuss the willpower required to navigate adversity, likening it to snowshoeing through tough terrain. Frustrated by the decline in audience support since 2020, I question the expectations for courage in tackling difficult issues amid hesitance from supporters. I urge listeners to consider their role in fostering community engagement and solidarity in addressing pressing social concerns.

September 22, 2025

Has anyone attended a Charlie Kirk vigil? I did so tonight, and I had some thoughts... I'm still mulling them over, because some things I heard really bothered me, and I'm left with some questions.

I'm not a believer, but am very familiar with Christianity (grew up around Christians, attended Christian schools for 9 out of 16 years of my education, multiple church attendances per week, etc.).

My thoughts right now are on why people are returning to church, what they're hearing there, and whether Christians could have done something to prevent this, in the same way that Stef was talking about if libertarians had taken his advice in 2009 with the Against Me argument.

In any case, I'm going to sleep on it, the morning may bring a new perspective. But I am curious to hear from other folks, what they saw, and I'll share further once I've had the chance to mull things over.
