Co stałoby się z Bitcoinem, gdyby zniknęły liczby? Aby rozpocząć dyskusję: Czy cyfrowa waluta mogłaby istnieć bez ilości, sald, kodów i obliczeń? Bez liczb transakcje nie mogłyby określać, jaka kwota jest przekazywana — można by jedynie podać, ile chciałoby się przesłać w odpowiedzi na oficjalne żądanie. Cyfrowy portfel stałby się opowieścią: wysłałeś coś komuś, dostałeś coś od kogoś innego, ale nikt nie potrafiłby powiedzieć ile. Wyciąg z konta stałby się opowieścią, a audyt — bardzo długą dyskusją. #Bitcoin #Liczby #Kryptowaluty #Technologia #Dyskusja #Polish #MrNumberwise #0046 #20260905

Några aspiranter hälsade artigt på mig på gymet. En av aspiranterna sa att mitt twittrande var en stor anledning till att han ville bli polis och sökte Polishögskolan. Det är ändå ett konkret avtryck man inte skojar bort. Känns fint! #inspiration #polis #gymmet

Today in the European Parliament, I participated in a unique and moving exhibition "Plundered by Germans. Never Returned. 1939–1945". It is not just an exhibition, but above all a testament to the scale of looting and destruction of Polish heritage during World War II. (translated)

On 1 September, 87 years ago, Germany invaded Poland. Six million Polish citizens lost their lives. Poland was devastated, plundered, and subjected to brutal occupation. Today, Europe is rightly demanding that Russia be held accountable for its aggression and the destruction of #NeverForget #Poland #Accountability #DE #PL #RU

Not long ago, there were a lack of strategies, irregularities, and more scandals. Today, Reuters writes with admiration about the Polish defense industry: "Polish officials say expanding domestic and regional production of drones, ammunition and other frequently used equipment has become a priority." (translated)

Nawrocki can repeat day and night how he doesn’t like Russia, but there can be no policy more strategically favorable to Russian goals of dominating Europe than a Polish president who spends most of his time whipping up hostility and suspicion toward Poland’s two biggest 21st #Poland #Russia #Europe #PL #RU

The conflict over the new police house in Eskilstuna has escalated, with the Police Authority facing a compensation claim of 724 million kronor from the property owner, who accuses them of breach of contract, which has led to further delays in the project's construction start. (translated)

Moscow is increasingly betting on hybrid warfare—a loose term that includes a recent drone incidentinvolving a Ukrainian cargo plane at Germany’s Leipzig/Halle airport, cyberattacks that disrupted Polish rail services and a series of explosions that struck European defense #HybridWarfare #Cyberattacks #Ukraine #RU #UA #DE #PL #EU

When Morality Becomes a Weapon Having the “correct” opinion doesn’t make you a good person. Our age is increasingly ruled by those who believe it does. In *The Brothers Karamazov*, Dostoevsky shows this through the Grand Inquisitor, who imagines Christ returning during the Spanish Inquisition. He arrests Him for threatening an institution that claims to represent Him. The Inquisitor argues people don’t truly want Christ’s freedom; they want bread, certainty, and someone to carry the burden of choice. He eventually admits they don’t need Christ’s teachings—only His moral authority. Dostoevsky reveals how power works: dominators can hide behind morality, while the dominated may trade freedom for the comfort of having others decide. Later, Polish psychiatrist Andrew Lobaczewski observed communism invoking “the people” to justify terror and execution. He argued that a small minority without conscience can rise during revolutionary upheavals, with ideology serving as moral camouflage. The lesson: moral language can be weaponized by those lacking moral character. Words like justice, equality, safety, harm, care, and compassion can become tools of control. Return to Aristotle’s view of virtue: virtue isn’t a belief you hold but a habit you practice. We become just by repeatedly doing just things; bravery comes from doing brave things. No slogan can replace character.

Why Psychopaths Rise to Power: What Hitler, Stalin & Mao Had in Common Polish psychiatrist Andrew Lobaczewski argued that in certain conditions, psychologically disordered people can rise through institutions and create “pathocracy,” where pathological personalities gain disproportionate power. He described “negative selection”: upheaval pushes aside those with conscience and competence while manipulative, ruthless figures thrive. At the core are psychopaths, who feel little guilt or empathy and use normal human weaknesses as tools. Around them are schizoids, ideological architects who turn abstractions into systems for managing people. Next are spellbinders, charismatic leaders who frame authoritarian ideas as moral duty. Together they produce “paramoralisms”—moral standards that invert reality: dissent becomes extremism, censorship becomes protection, coercion becomes compassion. Beneath them are true believers and conformists who follow out of conviction or career safety, echoing Milgram’s insight that the key question is who gives the orders. Finally come bystanders, a frightened majority that adapts to avoid trouble until self-policing replaces external coercion. Lobaczewski’s warning: pathological behavior becomes far more dangerous when society mistakes it for morality. The real struggle isn’t left vs. right—it’s whether institutions can preserve truth and resist normalization of destructive behavior.

Who Gets Promoted in a Broken Society? In Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling created a villain: Dolores Umbridge. She gains power not through competence, but conformity, loyalty, and bureaucracy. Evil rarely looks like Voldemort. Umbridge resembles Hannah Arendt’s “banality of evil”: ordinary people pursuing advancement by playing the institutional game. She enforces ideology through bureaucracy. Loyalists replace competent people, dissenters are labelled extremists, and punishment becomes a tool of conformity. The goal is not truth, but compliance. Political Ponerology Polish psychologist Andrew Lobaczewski studied how institutions can be captured by pathological individuals. He called the resulting system pathocracy, and the transformation of normal institutions into ones serving pathological interests ponerization. The danger begins when institutions lose the ability to distinguish competence from manipulation. Those willing to conform can rise precisely because others will not. Ideologues create doctrines, propagandists spread them, and ruthless operators capture institutions. The lesson: totalitarianism does not require one tyrant. It emerges when institutions lose the ability to distinguish the pathological from the honest. The Case of Mao Mao’s China offers a striking example. During the Cultural Revolution, Zhang Tiesheng became famous for submitting a blank exam paper while denouncing intellectuals. Political loyalty mattered more than academic ability. Mao elevated being politically “red” over being technically “expert.” Specialists were displaced by ideologically reliable outsiders. Officials who honestly reported collapsing harvests were purged, while those telling Mao what he wanted to hear advanced. False information helped sustain the Great Leap Forward, whose famine killed tens of millions. China abolished university entrance exams in 1966; they were not restored until 1977. A system that selects against competence eventually loses the ability to see reality. Mediocrity protects power; moral compromise enforces it. Capture education, and you shape a generation unable to challenge the system.

We, the Poles, know well what it means to pay the highest price for independence. We know well what the words: „ For our freedom and yours” mean. This is why the Polish Nation today, on Ukraine’s Independence Day, stands firmly with the fighting People of Ukraine. 🇵🇱❤️🇺🇦 #Poland #UkraineIndependence #Freedom #PL #UA
