@jb55 why is there a bug on my screen?

The consumption of content and the regurgitation of that same content with a rebrand has always been a virtue signal. How many times do I have to consume content that has been renamed and repackaged but is fundamentally the exact same thing as everything else? Where are all the people that actually think for themselves instead of all of the people that claim to think for themselves within a framework they didn’t create?

How do bitcoin max types plan to convince politicians that need the ability to print money to fund vote bribery that they should just do what is best for the economy? Let’s just fucking be honest about the situation we are in. Bitcoin will always be a commodity as opposed to a currency because it doesn’t solve the bigger issues.

There is this ideology that disagreeableness is the forcing function that underpins all human innovation. But this is just not the case. The cause of consensus divergence is the manipulation of language for the betterment of self at scale. We evolved language before it became a post Dunbar problem. Disagreeableness is senseless disagreement for the sake of disagreement to self validate. It is a power acquisition strategy. You claim individual intelligence when it does not exist and use that to justify polar acquisition of resources.

The stoic: My problems are mine, you can’t have them. Me: These are our problems, you can’t claim them

Social networks are reinforcement bias networks. They are populated by agents seeking confirmation, rewarding those with attention who are willing to omit truth. This all stems from an individuality bias. We ascribe value to individual minds out of vanity but there is no mind without 1:1 sex ratio and male and female differences that remain stable overtime to select for the birth of minds. People are not first principles thinkers. They are just self aggrandizing, ungrateful cogs in a cycle of civilizational booms and busts.

What is your first principle? If you are a “from first principal thinker”, then you have a first principal. What makes you think it is ‘the first principle’ and not just the level at which you understand everything?

@jack X and threads are going to ideologically polarize the intellectual web. There is no coming back from this.

The problem with bitcoin is the adoption profit motive. Anything with an adoption profit motive is a pyramid scheme. Any currency that starts this way presupposes that early adoption/intelligence should be rewarded monetarily over late adoption/ignorance. This runs directly contradictory to the function of a minimum wage which values all individuals equally.
