So much for carbon. Just failed during a climb. Seriously, I’m not THAT strong. That was just weakness of the frame. Aluminum here I come—I’m sorry for ever doubting you.

@halalmoney is quoting the brave. Put your best words forward and cruise that feed for bangers.

We become what we see. We tell the world what to show us. Get creative. Prompt yourself.

We are taking our houses for granted; that they’ll be there when we get home each day. 😂 I was just thinking of how easy it was to call a vendor, text them the address, and agree on a price for a tear down. The house was gone after a couple of weeks. No call to see if I was the actual owner, no signature required from me during an official permitting process. All handled by the vendor from standing house to empty lot. All kicked off by a phone call and promise of funds. Let that settle in.

Shower Thoughts (thanks to Will Durant in “Caesar And Christ” Vol III of “The Story of Civilization”) Socialism is a venomous application, disguised as an easy solve to the hardship end of a stressed system, that turns the participants into food for the predator. Socialist Democrats are the eventuality of a party that uses the democratic components of a democratic republic to undermine the stability of the republic. This is done by manipulating the populous to install destructive policies using manipulations through broadcast rhetoric and deceitful social pressures that shift the compass from freedom and responsibility as a participating society to a that of a protected society dependent upon the state. This is the stage of an empire where the populous abuses the democracy and takes what they want from others, which precedes the “revolutionary chaos” phase, whereby the dictator rises, leading back to the beginning again, at Monarchy. It’s a cycle. Our job is to fend it off, but it doesn’t appear avoidable, because we’re perpetually living this out across cultures and millennia. Religion seems to be the only thing that persists across 10 generations or more. Everything else falls away, either by disregard or the ever-failing memory of humanity. I’m beginning to see why religion. It isn’t spiritual. It’s humanity carrying goals across generations. Pick yours wisely and play for your team, I suppose. We’re bugs on a rock hurtling through space. Our lives matter to us, but not to stone. This sounds hopeless, but it’s actually freeing. Get to living. Make your goals that are bigger than you. Live a life that’s uplifting to future generations. I choose freedom, integrity, power in purpose, and community; with a heavy lean toward global cooperation and competition with as little violent conflict as we can manage. GM.

I enjoy listening to these two. The alternate perspective is intriguing as I listen to books of history where empires rise and fall over hundreds or thousands of years. The ever-larger lens of global politics from these ladies, where they talk about 50 year cunning plans by families and governments, feels so short when looking at the Egyptian Age, the Roman Empire, Assyria, and Ancient Greece. Our news is so cycle-to-cycle that we get short sighted. Drawing that out to a lengthier understanding has to be healthier, and is actually more in tune with a Bitcoin Standard if Bitcoin proves to have the staying power we hope it does. Thinking about life on a 100 year time scale is what makes it desireable to build wealth, build a family, build a ranch and build a homestead from granite. Time to set aside stick houses, and maybe it's time to build a castle. https://www.youtube.com/@PrometheanAction/videos

If you remove CPI, right now it's just us trying to bust through the first ATH of the cycle with confidence. Last cycle was left-translated in this CPI-removed chart, leaving this current cycle to run long if needed. Without removing the CPI, last cycle looked right-translated, and would make current right-translation look out of place. See how the high of last cycle was actually the left of the two tops of last cycle, while with the monsterous inflation of 2020 actually had that second peak hitting a new high dollar amount with CPI included in the USD price. Now we're just stair stepping our way to a healthy blow off top. I wonder if we'll get it. Just lines and math over here, but I love this zoomed out view.

When your models spin up agents on their own by your instruction, it pays to know the balance of cost to ability for assignment of the tasks to the right models, even opting in cases for your own local less powerful but super cheap (free) task completions. Really enjoy some of these channels that are building multi-genetic dev systems with model agent chains and OS managed frameworks. Working on my own structure using some of their tactics. It’s a rabbit hole folks. Can’t just stand at the rim. Have to dive in. 🥸

This little fellow really wanted badly to have a rest on my putter. So I let him. Dragonflies are the best flies.
