You know the chemical imbalance theory of brain health is retarded because you’ll ask doctors what an optimal balance would look like and they’ll just stare at you like huh? Lol
Many Liberals really really hate A.I. I’ve noticed.
Probably because it’s a “learn to code” moment for them.
Kinda feels like A.I. is about to hit the coffee shops as hard as outsourcing hit the rust belt.
The world is essentially upside down and has been for a hundred years now. Flipping it right side up again will be extremely painful, but it’s necessary.
Lots of people talk about America being a late stage empire, I believe this is wrong.

As an American I am obviously not in favor of this, but am at a loss for how we stop it.
I think about this quite a bit and haven’t come up with any meaningful solutions outside of bitcoin.
Online discourse sucks because you can never just say a nuanced thing you always have to signal or counter signal. Because everyone else is trying to filter you into freind/enemy distinction. Exhausting frankly. Even on nostr, though I do find there’s slightly more room for nuance here than X.
When bitcoin pumps it feels like:
- being in an apple store in 2007
- eating a box of orange tic tacs
- renting an n64 game from blockbuster
- flipping your pillow to the cool side
- beating halo 2 on legendary
- the cubs winning the World Series
- seeing the dark knight in theaters
When it dumps it feels like:
- trying to itch your eye but you accidentally scratch it
- having to pay taxes
- stepping in a wet spot on the floor in socks
- getting a paper cut
- when the ketchup squirts water before the ketchup
- that one mosquito bite right on your knuckle
- that one hair that keeps tickling your arm but you can’t find it
