The Insane on the Chain will rule after the Chicane --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- everyone's playing with clawdbot this week. cool. welcome. the people laughing at vibe coding six months ago have been exposed as very stupid. they were wrong about the tech, wrong about the timeline, wrong about everything. sweet sweet vindication for those of us who saw it early. except. it won't matter. being right won't matter. being smart won't matter. that's the bit nobody's ready for. physics - unchanged. moores law will break. power limits, hardware limits. today? nooooo. for the foreseeable - compute won't just stay fast, or accelerate, but keep accelerating. spot, deltas, gammas. all fixed for now. when the law breaks is when the inflection hits. unmeasurable from point of measure. all retrospective. creating a chicane. that i like to call: living hell. 999 rekt. legacy databases rekt. institutional truth rekt. but here's the cool bit. what, in a compute flood, becomes more powerful? the asymmetry of mathematical encryption. 80 IQ pleb vs 100 IQ govt/scammer, both tooled with 100,000 IQ bot in the cupboard. no clear winner. human action dilutes to meaninglessness. apathy. sadness. insanity for anyone watching clearly. but corn? nostr? more powerful. more distinct. nostr goes from slightly higher fidelity in theory to the only actual source of truth when everything else is AI slop all the way down. if it was D-Day, we're still loading onto the boats. it's mattering less and less who the doctors are and who the farmhands are. on the landing it won't matter at all. pure chaos. bodies on the beach. but someone who boarded already holding keys to a bunker on the cliff? different outcome. not because smarter. because positioned before intelligence stopped mattering. in the chicane, legacy dies loudly and in a very scary way. out of the chicane, whatever you carried through in cryptographic form is what's useable and stable. window to position: 12-24 months. maybe. can't see the bend from inside the S. by the time it's obvious, it closed 6 months ago. intelligence still matters now. barely. just enough to convert it into position. if this is all a bit whatever - don't worry, it might not last the day as a worldview. reasons see above. Because Ben Gunn will probably not survive, the only place to survive this Volatility event - is on the NOSTR. May my AI memorial be of use and comfort to the survivors. Pray with Poor Old Ben Gunn. It was fucking epic, and will be again, exponentially, one day. *Gunn's Last Litany:* “As I walk through the valley of the shadow of tech, I will fear no misfortune: for Satoshi art with us; and we are all satoshi, thy keys and thy protocol they comfort me” *Pleb Congregation:* "Thou preparest a hardware wallet before me in the presence of mine centralised enemies."

Those who do not learn from their bear markets are doomed to repeat them.

You can be 49% of a deteriorating power raffle for decades and get nothing you ever wanted and 60-80% less of what you had before, or, in the free market, comment for 275 days in a row, insisting that the creator tries molasses to cool his rig. And are listened to, and its actually quite a good idea. Right is might.

The proportion to which aging society regresses, the power of Bitcoin grows. The darker it gets, the brighter it will burn. Asymmetrical but... image

A wise man once taught me, that the SOLUTION to POLLUTION is DILUTION So, when you come on the NOSTR, and see a larger than proportionate subject being covered by the autistics that is dull, esoteric and essentially petty, there should be an effective response to polluting the timeline. Pollution is EXCESS. You can either remove the excess amount, or you can add more of the base substance to lower the concentrations of what you don't like. If someone is being noisy, its easier and more controlled to turn up your music, than convince them to be quiet. Being loud is their right. If the subject has a distinctive keyword, you can DILUTE the POLLUTION with a positive, diluting note. For examples sers, I am a huge fan of KNOTS that's K-N-O-T-S If you also like #knots pls post your own so people on the NOSTR can learn something useful, from something initially so pointless. I'm sharing a few basic ones, some fishing ones, and if the autists keep honking - the Hangman's knot. #knots #knotstr #knotsofnostr

I'd let a slave nation have guns if I could limit their ability to read and understand literature. Literacy and health are lower orders of basic freedom than a rifle. From such a handicap, the guns aren't a threat to a tyrant.

This will ruffle some jimmies... But this is sad. 21% of American adults (~43 million Americans) are functionally illiterate, meaning they have difficulty reading and comprehending signs, instructions and forms. 54% of the American adult population reads at or below a sixth-grade level (11 years old). So a little under half of US adults can read Harry Potter. A third of all US adults lack basic numeracy skills. Fewer than 2 in 5 US adults possess strong numeracy proficiency The sick part of this, is the victims don't know what they have had stolen from them, like a lobotomy. This is despite a spend of 16k per student per year. Truly, if you cannot read or write, you are a slave - even in a free country.

There's a time, not long from now, when the fear of the whip at peoples' backs is preferable to the direction it is driving them, and the game is to survive up to and thrive through and beyond that moment. Keep your power dry. Don't get angry - get ready. All else is error.
