Just listened to “The Last Honest Market” Much respect to you @jack mallers

Nothing beats buying German food (pork, mustard, and sauerkraut) with real money using @npub1xnf0...lpr5

@Jack K , I have finished reading your paper: Bitcoin - The Architecture of Time. It is truly an interesting read. There is something I would like to ask you about: You write in the paper about the observer problem and argue that “[the collapse] demands work. It demands entropy. It demands proof of work”. You further write “collapse is an act of conscious computation; deliberate work performed by a conscious entity. It is a thermodynamic expenditure and requires work to create time”. I find this very beautiful and interesting to think about, especially given what my research focuses on. I was hoping you could elaborate. I would like to ask you where you think the interaction between entropy and consciousness is. If the collapse of a state is due to entropy and work. Is it our mind-body, and the work and entropic process that stems from it, that produces the collapse, or something else? How would you articulate that interaction? It seems to me that our bodies function as light‑absorbing dissipative structures whose architecture is tuned for quantum coherence. By aligning particles into low‑entropy, coherent states we extract maximal work from each photon, while the unavoidable waste heat is exported to the environment. In this way we perform our biological agenda with maximal efficiency, and the exported entropy contributes to the inexorable increase of universal entropy. So just like you say that entropy and work causes the collapse. I'm wondering what you think stems from our body that causes the collapse. Is it this? Or do you feel it is something else?

So eloquently put and well said View article →

@jack deserves much respect. Today my wife and I spent the entire day going to shops around town paying in #bitcoin. We bought eggs, coffee, and wine. All with real money, all using square terminals. Tools like this are vital to the health of this network. Mine bitcoin and spend bitcoin. This is the way.

Is Bitcoin more than money? Or is money more than meets the eye? View article →

I am excited to announce the release of my book: The Ancient Way of the Mind: How Modern Thinking Blinds Us From Wisdom of the Past The book focuses on the nature of the self, and how our relationship with the self influences our ability to understand reality. Years of research has resulted in a narrative that weaves together the neuroscience of meditation, a perspective on the development of world religions, and how the computer rectifies aspects of society that are issues resulting from our abstract thinking (language, money, etc).
