I want to think slowly again. I want to wonder and wander. I want to ask and talk and then wonder again. I want to go find a book. Dewey Decimal. I want to read it and still not have my question answered. But right now, I just need the answer.

AI is the apex product of a materialist world that mistakes intelligence for value. All action boils down to one thing: want. A tree wants nutrients so its roots go deeper.

🚨 New Episode of Love & Hard Money 🚨 This is the end of my series reading Fredric Bastiat’s, The Law. It was a harder read than I anticipated when I set out because of all the French names, long quotes and old English in the translation. I’m proud to have exposed a few of you to this excellent essay for the first time, but I’m also glad to put the project behind me. Next week we’ll talk about how Bastiat’s ideas show up in Bitcoin and why that matters.
