My last three interactions with AI: > Why the fuck do you need to use sed to update a CSS file? Aren't you literally an IDE? Isn't your job to update text? > It's still fucked. I'm leaving you for Claude. > Map marker icon is supposed to be orange, bit it looks like hot baby poop.

There is bitcoin, which is software. And then there are people who use bitcoin to do things that the software enables. And there are people who people who want to make bitcoin all about their politics or culture or art or wellness or seething beef with some institution. They don't talk about bitcoin, the software. They talk about bitcoin like it's the grace or wrath of God. Which are you?

That your political enemy will somehow realize the hellscape their leaders and policies created is a fantasy. People are hard-wired to commit as a social signal of consistency.

Gandalf is basically the Alfred Adler of Middle Earth: Superpower is encouraging other people to face incredible odds (intervenes infrequently, but drops in to make sure people are staying on their path). Doesn't seek fame or fortune (resists the Ring, lives an ascetic lifestyle) Doesn't mind that he's disliked by small or corrupted minds (Grima, Shire NPC's) Confronts people directly when there's an interpersonal problem (Bilbo becoming corrupted by the ring, Theodin under Sarumon's control)
