Oy. Just a little rosemary. Also: cook in butter.

How to get rugged: Buy trumpcoin.

All courses are from universities, So you will pay for accreditation, But not to audit the courses. Most careers don’t care about your degree, They care about experience.

All interesting sides of this conversation.

Check out edx.org Uedemy, Brilliant, Corsera, All pay to use pieces of crap. Edx offers pay for certification, So if you just want to learn things that is still free.

Sure Palantir, The British government will give you a nice big sandbox to play in.

Maybe NOSTR is great, But sucks compared to other projects behind paywalls and bubble data centers that have larger development budgets and nobody is proving anything except the ability to nerd. Cyberspace cannot lead anyone to happiness better than a human can lead themselves, It can only enhance your physical reality. Who is better is irrelevant.

The answer is yes. Happiness for Sisyphus is derived from pushing his boulder, Therefore where he pushes it is irrelevant, Just that he feels he is accomplishing something by pushing it is how we can measure his happiness. So the answer is yes, As far as the outside observer can tell, He is happy. The actual happiness is impossible to tell, Because “happy” emotions are a combination of health and emotional positivity, Which has external emotional implications as well as dietary scientific factors that are unknown variables. We can only gauge his happiness by outside observation and if he is pushing and he seems motivated, We must assume he has the important factors keeping him pushing.

Be unbuyable.

Yeah congratulations. Think of the 7.9 billion people who don’t have that convenience.

Yeah but still: Just like there is no reparations for slavery, The Federal Reserve is a private for profit institution. Most people think the government controls the central bank but it’s the other way around. The Fed has a better chance of abolishing the government than the opposite. One day they will add bitcoin to their balance sheet and anyone waiting for their failure so bitcoin can take over will be very disappointed. Besides, When the dollar actually fails, How will you buy bitcoin?

Except Trump is just the president. Not the chairman of the federal reserve.

Pretty sure that’s the Feds gold.

Except Afghanistan was about Russia too. There is no geopolitical strategy the US is using that China and Russia are not also either employing or trying to exploit by cheaper and more destructive means. Fentanyl and Carafentanyl are both far worse than just heroin and surprise, They are cheaper too! There is no pure and honest nation state and maybe Peter is just embracing the nation state he is from? Intelligence is also a-political so…

A quadruple of pliers. Duh.

Ah ok. :) I hope it goes well for you! Moms are pretty important!

There is a clear distinction between “help” and “business”

I have the same conversation with gold bugs, Only 3% of money is physical cash, The CBDC is the sequel database at the fed, Just anyone not working at the federal reserve can participate in it without a bank intermediary. Also bitcoiners who want the fed to end. As much an anarchist wet dream that is, What will you buy your bitcoin with? You are the rare person who saved a million bitcoins anticipating the collapse of central banking in 2009? I am fine with the existence of FIAT currency, Most people are not technologically adept and financially literate enough to realize how to use bitcoin to outperform the Fed, To beat them at their own game. That’s what institutions are doing anyway. There are plenty of things central banks have created that I enjoy very much. Bitcoin is a useful tool in making me more money but it’s not my whole life, Just like dollars are not my whole life. Instead of promoting myself in a podcast or creating another financial product around bitcoin, I want to be living my life achieving my goals instead. My money working for me is something I only need to think about maybe an hour a day, There is more to life than money or bitcoin consuming me. I do admire the intellect of people building on bitcoin, Open source technology is creating a new global standard, And that’s fucking awesome! I also love a lot of people who have no clue that the fed is over its head in debt and they are just going about life loving their families and generally being good people, And that is mostly my experience in the 60% of the world still experiencing extreme poverty and social issues a government can not fix.
