Can you allow somehow that AIs can be trained on your book Broken Money? Would be great if ChatGPT understood money.

I’m gonna ask what nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a did, but about #music .

What’s your generation, and what music has defined you?

Nirvana, Moogwai

why does the near part of the street so grainy?

This one is a joke too and in both there is truth and cynicism and they are not really funny. There comes a responsibility with your work …and I respect your work but I don't understand why I have to see vaginas and porn in my global feed ...a feed that everybody who is onboarding to Nostr can see. Theres enough feedback from users that left Nostr about that. Devs been playing around with all sorts of Nostr applications for a while but ignore that this NSFW stuff annoys the majority of people when they just simply want to communicate with each other. Also if you search for #Art you find some artworks but also lots of AI porn someone who wants to see just Art definitely not expects to see. That’s details I wish someone would work on. Those things makes it hard to have a positive Nostr Experience and even harder to participate and interact here. You stand up for a monocausal cause of a minority who is now a majority here..and some people wonder why Nostr isn't being hyped properly. The sex industry is doing very well without Nostr. This content is everywhere! Why another clone ? Blurring and muting here ( and be exposed for it 🤦🏽‍♀️ on nostrudel ) is often not working cause of the relay mess making it hard to navigate. I really wish you and other Devs would a) go more into a Dialogue and ask diverse ppl outside the bubble what their need is and b) focus on humans and not on a industry that just wants your Monetas and keep you addicted. https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=57&v=RnlS5kSjTRw&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.de%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title

It‘s not your global feed.

Vaccines got us rid of smallpox among other things. Any possible effects vaccines *might* have are small in comparison on the population level. You may get a vaccine that kills you for a disease that you weren’t at risk of acquiring. But that is rare. Nevertheless, more research is welcome. You are looking for serious adverse reactions for a massive amount of people that show no signs in the first year after vaccination. Sounds unlikely to me. There is little pressure to fund such studies.

nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev isn't reasoning well but the gestalt of his argument is valid. If vax administration causes system-wide inflammation, then what if the cure is worse than the disease? This hasn't been adequately studied. Lifelong allergies for 50% of population, and continuing propogation of weak genetics, and way too many old people dying of chronic diseases that need long term care, vs 20% of your sickly people dying and leaving the gene pool, and folks dying younger but more quickly and not taxing the system. What if that's what we're looking at? Nobody asks that question. Half (made up stat) of my younger colleagues want people to live forever and are afraid of death. My older colleagues are bleeding hearts and want to eliminate suffering.

Doctoring needs to focus on relieving the suffering of the individual, not groups. There is a fine line between using evidence to guide care for an individual (i.e. which med works for this?), and using it to dictate public health. The key is in admitting you don't know what you don't know. And you don't know what you didn't measure.

The corruption and hubris of the scientigic community and medical system in the US is sickening. I happen to have dipped toes in both pools, and internationally. The vast majority of us who are actually caring for people don't have the bandwidth to adress even a fraction of the problems. We usually can't even verify the quality of evidence handed to us, instead outsourcing that to a third party.

Lastly, it's okay to call out poor reasoning, sensationalism, etc., but I find it poor form to assign another human a "lane". Really, this lane of health is everyone's.

I hate the idea of vaccine adjuvants, too. But, the benefits of vaccination on the population level are greater than any possible side effects when there is a descent chance to get infected. If I have to choose between taking a vaccine or a virus (with high probability) I will take the vaccine. The idea (that I often hear) that viruses are natural and therefore good is wrong. There is nothing natural about modern city live. Also, viruses cause inflammation. Sometimes for the rest of your life.

Quoting my post here to give my answers, as an older millennial:

-My defining movies, given the idea that things that define people usually occur as kids, are the top Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Aladdin, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tangled, and Treasure Planet (even though that one is not as popular). Disney movies were pretty based back then. The Matrix (my all-time favorite), Fight Club (I have critiques for it, but it had to be made), The Dark Knight overall trilogy, Training Day, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle. And then a host of random stuff. Jurassic Park, The Departed, Constantine, a whole host of 1990s and 2000s stuff, etc. Many others. Movies made in the 2010s or thereafter tend to fall flat for me. I watched the Marvel series from Iron man to Endgame and grew tired of superhero movies, but liked the Russo Brothers versions of it that advanced the core plot (Winter Soldier, Infinity War, Endgame, etc, with Infinity War being the high point). Every Marvel movie after Endgame doesn't interest me since I already stuck through it and finished the arc I started with Iron Man in 2008.

-Defining TV shows for me were fewer. Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, The Last Airbender, Legend of Kora, and the DC Animated Universe (1992-2006). And then others were later recommended to me at a point where they were no longer defining for me since they were in hindsight, but were interesting. Sopranos was good but nihilistic. Succession was good but nihilistic. Game of Thrones was great but out-ran its material and didn't stick the landing. Scrubs was amazing. Breaking Bad was fucking awesome but I don't know how to relate to anyone there and don't know what I took from the series other than don't cook meth. I plan to finish Attack on Titan in the next couple months, but so far I like that.

For books I like Mistborn series, Stormlight Archives series, Gentleman Bastards series, The Blade Itself series, etc. I might like the Kingkiller series if the author ever finishes it.

I'm very particular about my fiction. I clearly trend toward speculative fiction, either sci-fi or fantasy. Because I spend like 70 hours per week analyzing current financial markets and stuff like that, and so in my fiction I don't want boring pretentious emo dramas in our real world, I want unique stuff. I want things that give me new worlds, new rulesets, and build heroic stories from there. If something happens in our boring real world, it better be top 10% material. Like Michael Clayton or Training Day or something of that drama caliber. Every time someone tries to make a drama that is not as good as those, I couldn't bother to care.

Often someone recommends something that is supposed to be deep but it's just pretentious instead. Most modern deepness is just pretentiousness, imo. I often find myself liking more straightforward plots but with outstanding top-tier execution for their genre, like don't give me bad philosophy and virtue-signaling, but give me some good struggles and a plot that doesn't contradict itself and that is well-acted and well-filmed. The sheriff in a western, but 100% well executed. The hero in a fantasy, but 100% well executed. The hero in a sci-fi, but 100% well executed. The drama that is 100% well-acted and isn't emo. I like the very top-tier of each drama, quality over quantity, especially with a heroic aspect or otherwise some non-emo stuff going on.
