I really am considering switching out my recommended Bitcoin intro from Saylor to this one. His 21 million Brick wall metaphor for Bitcoin that has a curtain being lifted up is one of the best for me that's not a network metaphor.
Very interesting, thank you. I'm going to try to start thinking a few seconds ahead
wait, i'm living in the past by 2 seconds? are you saying that by the time my brain has processed stimuli through whatever emotions/mood etc, i'm in the past already?
This is what I'm overwhelmed with right now. We don't know how the brain works well enough to recommend certain physical interventions.
Penrose, Emperor's New Mind
"We do not understand the physics that must operate at the cores of black holes nor at the big-bang origin of the universe itself. Yet all these issues seem as remote as one could imagine from the 'everyday' scale (or a little smaller) that is relevant to the workings of a human brain. And remote they certainly are! Nevertheless, I shall argue that there is another vast unknown in our physical understanding at just such a level as could indeed be relevant to the operation of human thought and consciousness-in front of (or rather behind) our very noses! It is an unknown that is not even recognized by the majority of physicists, as I shall try to explain. I shall further argue that, quite remarkably, the black holes and big bang are considerations which actually do have a definite bearing on these issues! (Penrose)"
strange, i just had a German friend quoting me this headline ( I assume from a German news source)
yeah, kinda like this scene
it still exists (Texas Eagle) but it's a tad slow unfortunately around the outskirts of San Antonio.
It's such a fun way to wake up to a desert sunrise going towards Alpine and El Paso.
A little better everyday.
the world's divided into fans of Saylor and absolute not fans. the psychology of the divide is interesting, and will be a fun future divide.
almost like Saifedean and Saylor divide about loaning money. btw, what do people think about Saifedean's loan idea.
i wish his book could be recommended in history class. i never liked history before reading this book.
i want to rewrite history with Saifedeans' book, Saylor energy metaphors, and documented UFO sightings
Near Asheville, North Carolina (Henderson)
I was just in that area of Tennessee ,North Carolina, and Virginia.
It's really beautiful if you don't mind the winters

The namesake of Texas's capital Sam Austin was from Austinville, Virginia, and moved to Texas.
"More elbow room" perhaps?
The ideas and traditions seem to grow stronger in the steeper valleys and hollows.
There's a certain freedom in the western expanses. I like the beauty of Virginia, but it feels stifling sometimes.
haha, i read the last sentence and it sounds like "you're going to get ground up like tax cattle, but you ARE more than that"
or were...
i'm feeling good, friend, just joshing.
Not smart just stubborn in this case with a lucky cause
I love whales
so i'm thinking this allegory could also apply to tax credits to farming. I spoke with a farmer recently who mentioned that they pay 30-50% tax on net income. So the incentive is to buy equipment every year that can reduce their tax to zero.
At a certain point, however, they don't need new equipment. And why buy new equipment when the old equipment is perfectly fine.
there is a stiff penalty if they try to build wealth outside of their farm.
