Is a purchase economy sustainable without manufacturing?

Finally bought a Bitkey. So far, so good. Thanks Jack! I know, doesn’t matter, ubiquitous. But Google?!

I really enjoy Grok’s conversation mode. I find it amusing that I can correct behavior and irritating conversational etiquette by simply expressing my sentiment. For example, I find the statement, “like I said before” rude, and simply expressing this opinion to Grok changed the behavior for my experience. What a great time to be alive and curious.

People sometimes talk about democracy. Simply put, rule of the many has never been functional in the history of humanity. I’m not saying it’s impossible, I think unlimited energy for everyone on the planet would be a fantastic start towards realizing universal individual freedom in a worldwide democracy.

More Hank Shaw… Drive long enough and everything seems boring. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not the countryside that’s boring, it’s you. Or more accurately, you lose your ability to absorb sights and create meaning from those sights the longer you see them. Life blurs. And slows. There’s physical evidence for this. My heart rate can drop dramatically in a long drive, dipping below 55 beats a minute. My thinking slows, too, although this is not necessarily a bad thing. I find my mind will hold a thought, turning it this way and that, really ruminating. Sometimes this helps me solve problems. Sometimes it doesn’t.
