Bitcoin is but a spiritual technology. The peer-to-peer ideology is nothing but spiritual and pre/post capitalism. It is what is envisioned to be perfect form of resource sharing, with least possibility of deceit by us, the nodes.

mainstream version of a freedom technology isn’t actually ‘free’ Choosing Nostr is one of the wisest decision

@Hodl Harry now I get it, Orb is a great anime. First episode in and I’ve many reflections: + what we believe is impossible, is simply waiting to be soluble + reason and beauty can be one + those institutions and individuals who are hurt through the truth will oppose it with life

Potential monopoly startup ideas: + longevity and anti-aging (only Don’t Die and Altos Labs are major players) + DeFi Infrastructure—Bitcoin native financial layers or DAOs etc. (no high scale DAOs exist) + AI Agents for Scientific Discovery (https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/Era-of-Experience%20/The%20Era%20of%20Experience%20Paper.pdf) + Nuclear Energy (heavy government reliance but Aalo Atomics and Valar Atomics are doing it) + Space Infrastructure and Off-Earth Markets—asteroid mining, ultra low cost satellites and bio-habitability tech for outer space (some companies are doing interesting stuff like Longshot Space) + AI Alignment Philosophy and Infrastructure (many commentators but David Deutsch is personal favourite) + Censorship proof Communication and Infrastructure (x exists but is centralised; @primal is a good decentralised alternative) + Education Alternatives built for the 20th century (lot remains to be done here—synthesis school is a great example) + New Nations (the network state)

Odin hanging himself on Yggdrasil (holiest tree in Norse History) for 9 days and nights without food and water, with his own spear into his body, to gain Wisdom. Lesson: Wisdom requires one to go through pain, which in turn yields clarity and purity of mind. image

We are in an era of exponential exchange of both rational and irrational memes. The trajectory selection occurs based on what benefits mankind the most. This will, more certain than not, occur in cycles. Irrational memes unite people by utilizing a base feeling, mostly humor. These very united people will come together to expand the space for the share of rational memes, which lead to the development of technology, morality, etc. The cyclic nature is necessary to unite fragmented parts when individuals ward off in the directions they mostly align with. This cyclicity of memetic exchange unites and fragments as necessary. It is analogous to time periods where generalists and specialists keep exchanging pedestals. To see through this, we have many analogous cycles that maximize growth, e.g., centralization and decentralization using the technologies of the time. This allows us to view these as mere tools rather than rigid ideologies or frameworks. The study, analysis, and execution of all of these rely heavily on how we humans carry this forward. The future is highly uncertain, and the uncertainty (of our prediction!) grows as we expand the tech space/knowledge space. Therefore, the responsibility of humans to keep their civilization alive grows heavier. This tells us one thing—and so does a little common sense—that thought → speech → action. It is also easy to understand that the speech of a singular node can affect the thought of other nodes, leading to the influence of actions of multiple nodes. This allows us to understand that to bring about positive transformation, it is necessary to control the generation and transfer of memetic material, which eventually affects the entire thought-to-action line, converting it into a self-completing feedback-like cycle.

A startup is not a shortcut—it is a spiritual test of whether your curiosity can serve others. image
