Impressive speech by Carney attempting to take the high ground and switch to a narrative that fits with “beliefs” today. I’m curious to know if he is going to ever mention the bigger lie that they all tell themselves —- that one about where “money” comes from. Suspect not, but by the traction his speech is getting, many people have fallen for his new story.

Spent yesterday morning with a friend and leader in the “singularity” silicon valley crowd. He specifically wanted to deep dive my thesis and understand Bitcoin and the developing protocol stack at a far deeper level. This is from someone who references my book all the time and who I thought had connected the dots already. Was amazing to watch things finally click and for him realize how incongruent his talks of abundance from a system of control were. Just reminded me of how early and fortunate we are to be here.

Where is your energy going?

Years ago I wrote that money was superordinate to laws. Much of the world is still trying to reconcile this fundamental truth.

Great talking with you @nat brunell View quoted note →

It is shocking content for a control system. Truth, freedom and abundance or bust! View quoted note →

I think about this quote often with algorithms and incentives and AI bots keeping people stuck in a system manifesting itself with their attention and fear. View quoted note →

At the Jake Paul fight tonight with my kids and they just sang the national anthem. “The land of the free” hit hard and hypocritical with the Samarai developers going to jail.

An asset underpinning a broken monetary system provides a very different view of #bitcoin than an open protocol emerging in layers. This is what most people still pricing bitcoin in pieces of paper miss.
