I'm noticing a lot more clickbait over on X. The algorithm is changing too fast to keep up. Turning it off is the way out. Not just true of social media feeds.

Now that building things is so much easier with AI, the real bottleneck is maintenance capacity.

Time seems ripe for something like the Reform Party to start in the US.

Nietzsche and Marx are the two atheists who seem like they sprung out of nowhere, but in fact, they had their intellectual predecessors in the Enlightenment: Rousseau and Sade. The rotten fruit of their godless and extremely destructive philosophies are directly traceable to what seemed so rational and scientific. It turns out that when you throw morals out the window, you get evil (like mass murder) of all kinds.

Zero sum games are regimented, difficult and usually unfair, which is why not playing them is the right move.

A man has as many masters as he has vices. Therefore, the only truly free man is a moral one.

You can change how grateful you are by paying attention to different things.

You know it's a bear market when there's so little engagement on all platforms.

Maybe technology is the vessel for many egregores.

The bad news is that there will be no reckoning for all the evils the authorities have done to us like COVID, war, propaganda, grifting and fiat money. The good news is that you can opt out.

Until you understand the mechanics of desire, you are sheep to be slaughtered by the wolves in advertising/propaganda.

Fiat mentality: Money isn't everything, it's the only thing. Bitcoin mentality: Bitcoin is what frees you to stop thinking only about money and start thinking about everything else.

Sad mother's day to Ethereum! The mother butthole from which all other shitcoins emerged and caused untold amounts of pain and suffering to all who got caught in its exploitative economics.

RIP UOG

You have to consent to be distracted.

You don't have to understand every technical detail about Bitcoin, but it certainly helps when you're asked to justify your belief in it.

Gresham's Law forces good money out of circulation when there's an artificial peg. Thiel"s Law naturally makes good money the preferred medium when the money freely floats.

Most people are deeply demoralized by the lies they are propagandized to swallow. The truth would set them free, but they fear it. They'd rather be the doorkeeper at an acceptable institution than ruler of their own castles.
