Just listened to “The Last Honest Market” Much respect to you @jack mallers

@Jack K , I have finished reading your paper: Bitcoin - The Architecture of Time. It is truly an interesting read. There is something I would like to ask you about: You write in the paper about the observer problem and argue that “[the collapse] demands work. It demands entropy. It demands proof of work”. You further write “collapse is an act of conscious computation; deliberate work performed by a conscious entity. It is a thermodynamic expenditure and requires work to create time”. I find this very beautiful and interesting to think about, especially given what my research focuses on. I was hoping you could elaborate. I would like to ask you where you think the interaction between entropy and consciousness is. If the collapse of a state is due to entropy and work. Is it our mind-body, and the work and entropic process that stems from it, that produces the collapse, or something else? How would you articulate that interaction? It seems to me that our bodies function as light‑absorbing dissipative structures whose architecture is tuned for quantum coherence. By aligning particles into low‑entropy, coherent states we extract maximal work from each photon, while the unavoidable waste heat is exported to the environment. In this way we perform our biological agenda with maximal efficiency, and the exported entropy contributes to the inexorable increase of universal entropy. So just like you say that entropy and work causes the collapse. I'm wondering what you think stems from our body that causes the collapse. Is it this? Or do you feel it is something else?

I am excited to announce that my book, The Ancient Way of the Mind: How Modern Thinking Blinds Us from the Wisdom of the Past, is now available on @Konsensus marketplace. In this book, I explore the Calm Pond Hypothesis: the idea that the analytical thinking mind, while responsible for some of humanity's greatest achievements, can also separate us from directly experiencing reality. The book argues that Bitcoin represents more than economic and political freedom; it may also serve as a pathway toward greater mental freedom by helping individuals live more naturally and in closer alignment with the cosmic order. Thank you @Niko 📚 Sovereign Individual for making it easy for publishers to sell their book for real money!

Technology is opening two paths for each individual to choose.

On this 4th of July: I wake up, go to my local farmers market and buy potatoes, carrots, onions, eggs, and breakfast. Paid all with bitcoin. This is how I want to celebrate what happened 250 years ago.
