I love morning discussions with my wife, especially when I see her changing her mind.

She came in thinking rent control policies benefit the poorest individuals but left wondering if a free market approach might be more beneficial in the long run.

This election cycle, our economic discussions even flipped her TikTok algorithm to more based content.

I’m envious of your morning time with your wife. We have a young child and the hardest part is finding time to just talk. You’ve motivated me to be better and find a solution.

She had surgery on her wrist a few weeks ago. She has been off work for a while now, so we get to hangout a lot more in the morning now. No one is in a rush to go anywhere or do anything.

Bitcoin pumping has helped a lot in the conversion. She sees that I am right about it, and that I am just seeing something others around us aren't. This can now be applied to other aspects of the economy or politics.

I do think the algorithm is doing most of the heavy lifting now, in having her consume different types of content that she wasn't aware of before.

Maybe I'll be able to have her read the Bitcoin Standard soon enough 😂

You know, to your second to last paragraph, the inventors of the windmill never let the credit go to the river nor the sailors to the wind, though they admit their foundational importants. Don't discount your rare foresight in harnessing wind/river/algorithm power to the betterment of your family

TikTok is such a good listener!

It's interesting seeing how much of the heavy lifting the algos actually do, in shaping people's opinions.

neoliberal policies manipulate and prey on people’s desire to help others.

Yes. The more emotional one is, the more likely they are to be manipulated. Often, that tends to be women.

the lie is, “give us power and money, and we will help these poor people”. but they never do.

Yep.

Meanwhile, the truth is "we'll use the power you give us to steal more money, to further enhance our control."

its a great business model.

if youre a succubus.

She sounds like a keeper.

I appreciate the more liberal mindset that women have.

Its a nice balance offset to alpha masculinity.

Having said that, helping all the time doesn’t help people help themselves. ✝️

Teaching a man how to fish vs giving them a fish.

However, it's important to understand that some aren't physically able to fish.
