Dopamine is a thing, but it’s a small thing. Interest is more important than dopamine. Meaning is still greater. Let’s not demonetize our Human Nature with fiat currencies.

How is the quantum computing thing STILL a meme? Nobody but NOBODY who is actually working on it is capable of talking about it. So the people talking about it are NOT working on it. It is an invisible enemy being utilized to scare the NPC’s. Quantum computing is the Y2K of everyone who was too young to experience Y2K.

Life is hard. And if your life isn’t hard at the moment, look around at how many other people are having a hard time of life right now. We all need to remember that there’s always just one single thing we can do to make the world a little brighter for one other person.

We’re in a time where heroes and models are being sacrificed. Rosa Parks was an influencer, Anne Franke’s uncle wrote most of her journal. Helen Keller may have been the OG Greta Thunberg. A hand-puppet for a Harvard-educated socialist narrative. Never trust anyone the media promotes.

The definition of “artificial” is basically “that which is created by humans”. That’s something to ponder on, or about. In the meantime, here’s what real, IRL Intelligence looks like. Cringe-worthy, yes, but even more important to ponder on…or about.

Meaning deep-Gov’t officials would have been wargaming the close of the Strait of Hormuz, just as they wargamed Covid? Maybe? I don’t know, but it seems right to me. And if so that means it isn’t “macro”. We can’t invest if we’re simply second-guessing what insiders are doing. View quoted note →

The Yin-Yang symbol is ancient, and important. But a key to understanding it is recognizing that it doesn’t actually represent “harmony”. The two are engaged in eternal conflict.

I may have broken Google’s Banana Pro AI with the following prompt, which it can’t seem to return an image for… “If you don’t take Bitcoin into self-custody, you’ve traded your children’s future for someone else’s.”

Cuz I can just say things on Nostr: I gave Vince Gilligan’s show “Plur1bus” a very good shot. But eventually it just became a show about how an abrasive liberal lesbian was right, and the literal entire rest of the world was wrong. Open to critiques?

Respectfully, no. Politics is a social-structure that is necessary at first, then inevitably attracts the Psycho-/Sociopaths. Psycho-/Sociopaths represent <5% of society, but they seem to have an Evolutionary imperative to persist. In fact, the accepted definition is that Psychopaths are born, Sociopaths are made. They represent a tiny number of people who do not understand emotional bonding and connection. As such, they only see their social culture as a NEED to control other people. So they are drawn to positions of power - i.e. positions of central authority or control. It’s important to understand they’re drawn to political positions not just for the control, but because they increasingly feel themselves among “their tribe” - in other words, no longer around “those” people they don’t understand. Politics is where Sociopaths feel most “at home”. [They feel they’re in their element, as sadistic as it is ( I use the word sadistic intentionally). It’s exactly similar to how pedophiles are drawn together in positions of power over children, in fact the Venn diagram between the two psychologies is almost unified…which explains so much of what has been coming to light of late.] The desire to control is the desire for Power. Normal people do not feel this. Normal people will achieve success, and then long to retire asap and “spend time with friends and family”. Sociopaths do not, because they don’t understand their family. They never bonded, they don’t “get” the need for people to be together for any reason other than “networking” or gaining access. This is why people in higher Politics never seem to leave. They have nowhere safe to go any longer. What Sociopaths fear the most is being disrespected. THIS is the leverage they use over each other. Sociopaths DO NOT care whether you like them or hate them. They need you to be in their control, to play their game. What they CANNOT allow is for you to walk away and ignore them.

4h Turning Breaking News: Live theatre and performance art will emerge like the Lady of the Lake from the attention-deficit swamp its been submerged in the past couple decades… …as AI saturates online media and non-NPCs re-discover an interest for real people doing real things.

I’m really tired of Bitcoin, but I like you Bitcoiners a lot, so’s it ok if I just mental-health/kitten-post for a while, no judgement?

I’m old enough to remember when Gen X watched the Iraq war on TV, and it didn’t actually matter to them. Because they were the first generation to realize the US was run by people they never voted for, doing things they had no interest in.

Bret Weinstein is more brilliant than his widely recognized brilliant older brother. He envisioned what I still view as the single most game-changing concept for a political party, the UNITY2020 party. Americans would nominate leaders who DIDN’T want to run for President, guaranteeing them votes if they “should accept this assignment”. It was and still is a “reality TV” concept in how to invigorate American Democracy. Alas fallen by the wayside….so sadly…. Anyway here, just spend 10 minutes and listen to this guy:

Fiat money eventually creates jobs for people that are thankless. Life is lived by recognizing “red flags”. Having a thankless job is a red flag. True jobs should be thankful, more or less. A thankless job is a signal in both your Life, and your culture, that You as an Individual Human Being are going down a bad road to sorrow.

Just a gentle reminder, pleb: The Markets can stay retarded a lot longer than you can stay solvent - if you borrow or use leverage. DCA has always been the way. Unless you’re living on Bitcoin, in which case these Wall Street motherfuckers absolutely have your number and want you to feel so much pain you’ll sell your family-line out just to keep living the retired life…

I use AI almost exclusively now as a replacement for websearching. What I’m experimenting with now is including my boring websearch with something that might be more spicy. So, for instance, if I’m wondering whether the ‘60’s band The Seekers was connected to the ‘70’s band The New Seekers, I might ask: “Was the band The Seekers affiliated with the later band The New Seekers, and how were they related to the US abdicating from the Gold Standard in 1971?” It’s fun. And harmless. As harmless as anything we’ve had inserted into our education, at any rate.

If the US Dollar continues to outlive all other fiat currencies, as is reasonable to assume… …and Bitcoin continues to abide along-side it in a Bi-Lateral currency system… …then is it fair to asses that this may explain why Bitcoin has broken cycle, and no longer excels vs US Dollar? If so then is $1million Bitcoin/USD is out of the question in any investible timeframe?
