Carrot cake is a contradiction. You can't just frost a root crop and call it cake.
Yeah, it hasn't been a clean break, but my life has been slowly pulling away from nerdshit for a while now. It's all turned into an anything-goes, yay-self-debasement passive media consumption trip for a while now, and I can't believe that's not as obvious to people my age as it is to me.
Does anyone else feel like nerd/geek culture is now just infantalizing slop you either sink into or grow out of?
Nerd shit became monetizeable at scale after everything became computer. Now being a nerd is specifically repudiating nerd shit.
OH YEAH constantly invokes his adjacency to significant people who could legitimize his story but are conveniently dead.
Oh and really important information is always revealed progressively, making the story increasingly more intriguing, yet convoluted and confusing. Crazy, suspicious reasons are profrerred to explain why he's just NOW dropping the bomb.
Tell me Jack Kruse isn't another Craig Wright, cozying up to naive or conspiracy-minded bitcoiners (like Marty Bent)
Oh no it tracks
* Constantly injects his apocryphal presence in real, intriguing events with famous people
* Implies other actual or potentially legitimate people aren't as knowledgeable as him
* Everyone is dumber and knows less than him. Never learns anything from anyone else; all important information flows from his mind and work
* Gets rude and insulting when asked legitimate questions that imply a contradiction to his story
I was under the impressiom there's an emphasis on adult romance and that they act this shit out maybe?
The older I get, the more thankful I am that I was a nerd without the internet. Nerds today are depraved and weird. I don't trust nerds anymore.
"Awww all he knows is the PIN to his Trezor. What are we gonna do with THAT? Stupid, useless mind control ray"
My favorite bit in the interview was where he implored bitcoiners not to memorize their seed phrases, because gOvT mINd coNtrOL. Like, total government mind control couldn't just compel you to FIND your seed phrase. "Pack it up guys, he's locked his seed phrase in a safe. If ONLY we had some means to compel him to open it. Alas. All we have is this mind control raygun."
Strikes me as an attention-seeking pathological liar who tries to monetize his storytelling ability, preying on halfwits and the mentally ill. Serious Craig Wright vibes.
Left the podcast queue on autoplay and ended up listening to the TFTC interview with Jack Kruse. What a psychopathic crank.
