Bitcoiners' political tendency is lebertarianism. Small government because government and centralization tends to become evil. Seems fairly rational. Then missiles start flying and see many change to "why are you supporting that evil government cause they're more evil than this other evil government" in comments. Fascinating change but doesn't seem terribly productive. Anyway GM! PV!

Friend from uk pinged me a message after 8 months of silence. "Just checking, you ok health wise? No cancer or anything". Jolting! Things that bad over there?

GM! Many years ago I wandered around the summer palace in Beijing. Buildings covered with little tiles with with a man sitting cross legged meditating. Up to a height of around 1.5m, all the heads were broken off. Above that, pristine. I'd guess they've been replaced by now. When I asked why, I was told that was the damage still left from the cultural revolution, when a mob came through. They broke the tiles with batons and that was as high as they could reach. It's stuck with me as a reminder that entire populations can lose their shit through indoctrination. Worth keeping in mind as this information war continues to deflect attention and divide people.

So Peter Thiel moved to Argentina? Did he move to the Israeli occupied territories? 🤔

Well the 69k gang weren't on the pitch very long. 58k gang warmed up?

Wonder if Iran has learned off Trump and started futures trading. They could start making bullshit posts on truth social or something. Gotta be profitable
