"The central theme of the book is the contrast between the Hobbits (or "the Shire") and the appalling destiny to which some of them are called, the terrifying discovery that the humdrum happiness of the Shire, which they had taken for granted as something normal, is in reality a sort of local and temporary accident, that its existence depends on being protected by powers which Hobbits forget, against powers which Hobbits dare not imagine."
-CS Lewis, close friend of JRR Tolkien

I’m aware that bitcoin is a global game but I live in America, my children are American and my grandchildren will be American so obviously I want America to continue to be prosperous. I think it’s incumbent on others across the world to realize the same and play the game for their benefit.

Fun fact: in the early 1990’s they found the bones of 15 different people buried under Ben franklins London home. The official explanation is that one of the other tenants was running an illegal anatomy school which is likely true, but urban legend is that one of the bodies was a hooker Ben Franklin had killed after an argument over payment.

“Enantiodromia is a principle introduced by Carl Jung, which describes how an excess of one force will inevitably produce its opposite, similar to the concept of equilibrium in nature. This phenomenon often occurs when an extreme tendency dominates, leading to the emergence of a counterposition that can disrupt conscious control and promote psychological balance.”

America is a nation that began with soaring dreams of freedom and self-creation, then over time it was tested and fractured by money, race, war, desire, and technology, until it was forced to confront whether it still believed in the meaning of its own promise.
For me?
The answer is without doubt.
Emphatically yes.
I still believe in America.

Sometimes I’ll space out and this recurring thought will play in my mind.
About the Belle Époque that was the 90’s and 2000’s. About how it was unceremoniously ripped away and about how the desire to take it back by force will lead to an American dictator.
I think about how those who are coming of age now never really knew the beautiful era. They only knew the dismal downturn.
But millennial politics are largely driven by a deep unconscious desire to return to the 90’s.
And so if American Hitler/stalin/Ceaser etc… does exist he’s probably a millennial. Someone who knows very deeply what was lost and will do anything to try and get it back.
I think about how this is probably inevitable and even though I can see it coming in the distance I can’t do anything to stop it.
Then I go back to scrolling.

One area where film does excel technically vs digital is in highlight roll off. There’s something I hate about exposing to keep the highlights from clipping and then bringing up the shadows in post. It doesn’t have that glow that film has.

Personally I don’t think of film as technically superior but emotionally superior. There’s something magic about film compared to modern mirrorless cameras or dslr’s though I own those as well and shoot with them regularly. I don’t agree that you should be judicious though with digital. I shoot burst mode when photographing people for instance because if I can I’d like more options in post.

Been shooting a ton of 35mm film lately.
It’s so much better than digital photography.
It really takes me back to a specific time and place.
I love only having 36 shots per roll and having to be patient and wait for the right moment.
Shooting less. Being contemplative.
It’s like a meditation for me.
And the photos are magical. Digital will never be able to replace the chemical reaction of light meeting silver halide.
