most people just need to pay attention to what they put in their body.

not sure why i haven’t done this before. Trying out a random macro and calorie tracking app.

I took the nutrient pdf from a restaurant i frequent and put in all the data. I can see exactly all of the macros and calories.

Then i can use chatgpt to suggest modifications.

No longer do i have to guess why i’m not losing weight or feeling tired. Just use data and tools.

Libertarianism is the ideal on a theoretical level. It is what society should strive towards: maximum freedom for the individual with minimal government meddling.

The problem is that this form of rule only works in a civilization that is high-trust and highly aligned in its values.

You wouldn’t try to implement libertarianism in a place like Somalia. Nor would you try to revive El Salvador by being *more* lenient on criminals.

A certain amount of central authority is needed to maintain order, and thus create the conditions wherein peaceful, productive citizens may flourish and exercise their liberties.

While authoritarianism can certainly go too far, as we saw during COVID, a middle way is possible. England under British Common Law, and the USA in the gilded era, are excellent examples.

I don’t remember the owner of this quote, but it was something like, “the origin of most of the evil in the world is money-related.” I believe Bitcoin will fix that. I hope it happens soon. I hope it brings peace and prosperity to everyone.

"The practical consequence of solving this problem is that Bitcoin gives us, for the first time, a way for one Internet user to transfer a unique piece of digital property to another Internet user"

who wants 10 units of unique digital property?

First 10 plebs go!

Of course real money looks like a scam when you grew up your whole life in a scam that you believed was real money.

I wish there was a small town somewhere that bitcoiners would just take over and make our own. I have lots of fantasies about this, but I’m pretty sure it ends up being a disaster…

Great idea! We don't have any, we are happy to collaborate to create one, if it's something that you are interested in.😀
