2 points: Humans fail not gold -Peter Schiff (Exactly-therefore a trustless system takes humans out of the equation for the win and its Bitcoin) And « If I owned all the bitcoin it would be worth nothing; if I owned all the gold I’d be rich » again Peter…would you? If one person owned all the gold I don’t know that I’d want any, anymore, am I missing something here? https://fountain.fm/episode/pX3XmVk3VwjyxLkWLfoW View quoted note →
I struggle with the juxtaposition of, « we need to touch grass and embrace low time preference activities such as growing some of our own food and cooking for ourselves… » and « AI and UBI are going to create a generation of depressed couch potato gamers ». Maybe we are being trapped by some cognitive loop to believe since people who work 40+ hours a week at desks doing mundane, pusposeless jobs binge watch Netflix and eat poorly that if they were afforded the humanity of a true Universal Basic Income they would further spiral rather than rest. https://fountain.fm/episode/BcnpRv2eiiv2Q86st4qK View quoted note →
Thank you Larry. Listened to Walker read it on audible. Solidified my understanding, reinforced things I sort of understood from Lyn’s and Saif’s books. Enjoy Florida we’re getting hammered with a snowstorm in Ontario today. View quoted note →
This reminds me of the first book I read on blockchains « The Truth Machine ». Always building your reputation, still as anonymous as you choose, and your reputation still has value. Way down the line, but could you imagine a « sorry » button? And a « forgiven » button? Seems people either say nothing for fear of becoming a meme, or hide behind burner accounts, and have no guard rails. Wouldn’t it be nice to feel you could fuck up and make amends? View quoted note →
