I believe nation states will keep becoming less and less relevant and that in the future everyone will be a nomad

Most nation states (and well governments) barely function anymore through 100+ years of democratic baggage from laws and regulation that can't be reversed

People can't save their countries or governments anymore through people's initiatives or getting into politics, because the systems are so old and in full gridlock

Globalism has deservedly gotten a really bad rep the last 5 years though as we were too naive about it, but I think we should keep the good parts from it

We should not take our identity from or defer our individual power to nation states ran by a political mafia class that's just perpetual robbing us and has no intention (or ability!) to actually improve society

Nation states are a relatively new invention and barely 150 years old, before we had empires, kingdoms, smaller city states (kinda like municipalities) and tribes or local communities

Over the years I've been increasingly red-pilled by @oskarth that nation states simply do not work and you need smaller sizes of government for things to work efficiently. Once it gets too big you get too much regulation and Kafka-esque bureaucracy and you end up with gridlock

Which is Europe's entire problem right now!

There's some exceptions, US and China seem to operate at large scale and are doing relatively well considering their size

Anyway to get back to my point, I think it's preferable people think of themselves as global citizens, because it gives them stronger negotiation power in relation to nation states and governments as they're able to pack up and leave to where they're treated better

And having people be mobile then also incentivizes other nation states (or smaller types of governance) to compete with them to attract the best people, and in response the other states will improve to attract people back

Now with geopolitical tensions (like the stuff about Russia and Europe this week), it shows even more the benefit to be able to pack your bag and leave to a better place quickly is an extreme benefit now and in the future, possibly even for survival

Very cool. I’m curious: do you believe digital nomading will continue to grow given the potential disruption of all things digital that’s upon us?

Sorry, had to quote to reply @levelsio :)

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@manchatz Yes!

I eat about 20g of 92% dark chocolate from Vivani

Used to be every day but I was cutting so a bit less now

Very beneficial

The faster you get rid of milk chocolate the better, you can slowly adapt yourself to darker and darker chocolate

I started with 60% dark, then 70%, then 75%, then 85% and now 92%

@norbertdragan inspired me in this because he was always on the darkest chocolate, I think he eats 100% dark chocolate now!

Very very healthy but yes you gotta cut out regular milk chocolate, you're eating mostly sugar, it's not good for you

30 g of 85% dark chocolate daily for 3 weeks reduced negative mood and increased gut microbial diversity.

@irldexter Yes you have to disable Cloudflare

I hope Spanish rise up

[@levelsio @levelsio]

🌎 Now redesigning the https://t.co/HGCLKS5BD6 profile trips globe from scratch

I've always wanted to add space trips, so starting with the moon here which you can add as a future trip, also adding Mars etc.

Other trips also need to work here though like going into orbit like @satofishi did on @SpaceX's Dragon capsule which will be more in reach for more people hopefully pretty soon!

[@levelsio @levelsio]

✨ Finally built a timeline for https://t.co/HGCLKS5BD6 now

I always wanted to make my site a bit more social, because I had profiles and trip overlaps and you could kinda see where other people went, but not something like this

So on this new page you can see people near you, where everyone's traveling too, etc. There's the [ For you ] tab and [ Following ], like on X. So you can see people you follow, or just everyone

I hope I can improve it more so the site will result in more serendipitous connections, especially now that's it's free

Also nice you can see where people will be in the future so you can plan trips to places where other members are, or if you're in the FOR YOU tab, where your friends are

Let me know any ideas you have and things I should build and I'll do it, I want to make it the biggest and most fun to use nomad/travel site in the world!

(Please tell your friends about https://t.co/UXK5AFqCaQ, that it's free, so you can use it as a social friends travel tracker kinda thing)

I got sqlite pilled by @levelsio so I started migrating my projects

largest db with least critical userbase/revenue-stream first to test it out and it works incredibly well!

no user noticed and it's still super fast.

If you don't have $1m MRR there is a very high chance you're overcomplicating things and paying too much for things you dont need

[@levelsio @levelsio]

You're right, it was an elementary school not a military base. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Would you like to learn more about elementary schools?

@kalio_late I think you're right

Politics and democracies don't function anymore so we need a new system

@vagueslop If you still think your food is grown by humans, you're mistaken, it's mostly automated!

@luisgguedes Added, thanks! https://t.co/SySRB2mWYK

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Should have checked https://t.co/Q8UoUHMumR before

I'd never go

Last night at the worst hotel of Lisbon: Novotel.

3 nights 621€

ac make loud noise but nothing cold get out of 13 degree setting. they clean the room with chlorine and you cannot open the windows to change the air of the room.

I wish I had my airthing to show them this is toxic.

It’s insane especially for the price.

I wish @levelsio you have a feature to verify one hotel on hotel list!

Like a search or something and it tells me how safe it is to book it.

I still don’t have the habit to search from your website.

But I could verify before booking like I do with hoodmap manually.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@luisgguedes Awesome can I post this as a review?

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@ryantalks1024 I don't think the US is doing very bad!

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@tonyszko Yep!

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@funandprofitco @ronaldlangeveld @xoelipedes @ChristianPalou I think I'll integrate chat into the site and then make an app also

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@Ferdev Yes you can do ?realistic=1 and then it's real but I realized everything is way too far to be visualized properly 😂

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@welpwelphelp @TomTalksCars Yes that's all my sites

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@luisgguedes Can you tell me more?

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@funandprofitco @xoelipedes @ChristianPalou Safety risk

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@lehelhanko Vivani is good with that

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@xakpc Well your leader invaded another country and keeps threatening to invade Europe, what do you expect? A red carpet treatment?

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@JeremyNoronha @xakpc

[@levelsio @levelsio]

@KettlebellDan Vivani uses coconut sugar I think which makes it creamier
