when Milton Friedman visited a construction site during the building of the Panama Canal, an official explained that the workers were using shovels (instead of machines) in order to create more jobs. Friedman replied, "Oh, I thought you were trying to build a canal. If it's jobs you want, then you should give these workers spoons, not shovels."

luke dashjr couldn't protect his own bitcoin but he thinks he can, and should, protect the entire bitcoin project his religious fervor is now mixing with his autism to create an aversion to depravity & illiicit material so strong that it's distorting his sense of actual reality in retrospect, the gas mask during covid was a tipoff that what used to be quirkiness had veered into a kind of apocalyptic self-aggrandizement

Nestle (the candy bar company) also has a whole health sciences division two of its brands are Peptamen (for treating gastrointestinal impairment) and Vitaflo (for treating metabolic diseases and kidney disease) sell the cause, sell the cure

i'm not really a big schadenfreude guy, but it does make me happy when phillies fans get angry at how terrible their team is because we can finally agree and bond over how disappointing it is being involved with philadelphia. philadelphia is one of the places in America i dislike the most, second maybe to the entire state of delaware. anyway gm ✨

amazon removed all the guns from the james bond movie art it may seem like a small thing but it's the reason i buy physical media. big things are just accumulated small things. large swaths of history always get memory-holed by the those invading, intolerant, or in charge it's okay to change, it's not okay to retroactively change and pretend like past sensibilities and tolerances didn't exist

i listened to the new taylor swift album. it's trash and hilariously cringe, everything you heard is true. but if you're a fan and you like it don't listen to me, people should be able to enjoy things. but it is terrible it's fine, i enjoy some terrible things too. like cheap light beer, and Tottenham Hotspur, and the movie The Chase starring Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson never apologize for liking things

got the nicest email this morning from an old friend who, unbeknownst to me, has been going down the bitcoin rabbit hole. haven't talked in years, but he messaged me last week to say that things were finally starting to click. further proof that you can't orange pill people, they can only orange pill themselves ✨

most people aren't getting enough (any?) sunshine regularly most people aren't sweating enough (at all?) regularly even people who have a casual gym habit are inside under flourescent lighting and tend to stop just short of that uncomfortable zone of sweating profusely fix your sun fear and sweat aversion gm

"Some days I lean back and wonder if the Bitcoin protocol is actually mining *us*, minting newer, better, more sovereign individuals in the process. I like to think that’s what artists are doing too: taking our scarce time and attention and returning something that feels well spent and meaningful. I usually come away from both musical concerts and bitcoin insights feeling changed somehow, more in tune with what’s going on and what really matters, feeling the sense that we’re all in concert with one another with bitcoin helping to ensure that our concert is in tune, on time, and grounded in the same key."
