I am as much a non-single-discipline educator, a cognitive, cultural & economic decentralization proponent as I am a psycho-naut, psychologist and a soul of fire and music.

Bitcoin removes error codes from the system - another way to say Bitcoin solves everything.

what's with the order? can you fix it somehow?

I watched the WBD episode with Niftynei today and I should say that the analogies Niftynei was drawing between the original clearing houses and the Lightning nodes is exactly what we need to frame differently because otherwise that may become a low hanging feuit for those who want to label ligthning node operators as banks.

Saw the lightning symbol on the base drum of Lenny Kravitz?

the first thing I did to understand my acid experience was to read his book The Joyous Cosmology!

I think it was the most spiritual podcast you guys had so far.

Yet I personally tend to think along the followig lines when I think about the sacred:

When you need someone else's interpretation of god, you:

Don't trust in your own capacity to critically think

Delegate the burden of critical thinking to someone else

Trust in their critical thinking

Hence, you believe in that someone one else, but not in god.

When you need someone else's interpretation of god, you:

Don't trust in your own capacity to critically think.

Delegate the burden of critical thinking to someone else.

Trust in their critical thinking.

Hence, believe in that some one else, but not in god.

make sure you can dance right after drinking the first cup, then communicate with people around, then chill down with a soothing group meditation and see if you have come down calmed and willing to hug any and everybody.

Did you guys notice how they juxtaposed rescheduling of marijuana to the pro-crypto stances?

Wow! Thank you. This is devastating ;)

Adding up to your comment Marty on "the lockdown bonds":

"imagine citizens being asked to buy government bonds and get their money back in 12-24 months only if they choose to stay alone and locked in their primary residences for the entire durantion of the bonding time"

Of course, this is way more challenging than coercing citizens to stay at locked at homes, if they can be payed for doind that along the way.

Is not that the whole logic of Keynsian inflationary monetary mechanics? The inversion of natural preferences with the inversion of the time preference arrow?

I am talking about the TV medium as being the hallucinatory kind of a vibe by its very nature. I am not talking about the content provided within that medium (consult Marshall McLuhan's Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man)
