I sort-of/basically agree with all of these, except the first.

2. Mainstream news is usually honest and reflects one view of reality. Different sources of news reflect different views, each attempting to give an honest account. The lie was always in the pretense that news are ever truly objective. No information is unadultered because no information is uncurated.

3. Institutions are as trustworthy, as the people running the institution. In a society, where the populace is generally corrupt, the institutions eventually will be, too.

4. Thinking via convention is an underrated thought pattern. Most novel thought is either stupid and a bit insane, or just a dumbed-down version of what someone smarter once thought and put to writing or embedded in tradition. Most people aren't well-read or knowledgeable enough to know that, tho, so they reinvent the same cart 100 times, or go off on some harebrained tangent, rather than using prior wisdom as a base from which to add to the pool of knowledge.

5. Comfort is the highest pursuit in life, both physical and psychological. (We can disagree on what defines "comfort", but the ancients might describe it as the pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain.) Comfort, for one person, might be escaping Hell and enjoying the warmth of family life and friendship, and then sleeping soundly knowing that they will wake to their loving family or to Heaven.

6. I have never met a person who actually thinks this. At most, some see excessive consumption as a way to communicate some prior successful creation or accomplishment, through flamboyance.

7. Authority figures are legitimate and their positions deserve respect, even if they themselves don't.

8. Conventional career paths are the most valuable in our society, for men. Something common tends to be essential.

9. It's difficult to make predictions. Especially about the future.

10. Risk should be contemplated and avoided, where practical and when possible.

The Raven data actually suggests that the entire male curve is shifted right (men dominate the genuises and women dominate the retarded), but women make up for that with increased height in the middle.

Other data sets show the men having a broader distribution, to both ends, but Raven is actually one of the best measures.

there is more than a passing similarity between computer science and textile production, the obvious one is pixels, and speaking of von Neuman, a single serial process is a "thread" of execution and coroutines are an example of something that maybe you could say resembles crochet in the way that it knots back and forth even though it's only one thread

i read the book "MANIAC" over the summer about von Neumann's computer... it was quite the read.

he apparently got the concept for punch cards from his mother's loom that he was fascinated with as a boy

Tried "Gestalt," now "von Neumann"

Love me while I'm here

I'm constantly pulled to zapping all my sats to plebs, selling all my needed possessions, & living a life, meditating in the mountains in perpetuity

Just praising & giving all Glory to GOD

We'll see if I can let go of my greed, pride & ego

American airlines flights are grounded because we ate too much Thanksgiving turkey!

I started to think the halvening no longer mattered because the supply is too small at this point— only $45M worth of coins a day, and Saylor et all are buying years worth in a matter of weeks.

And if the halvening doesn’t matter, then the cycle is unpredictable assuming the halvenings (increasing scarcity) drove the cycles. Which could mean either that we were in a supercycle or just uncharted waters wherein the future price movements might be more untethered to this pervious rhythm of bull and bear.

But it dawned on me that as supply shrinks, the price will rise. And as the price rises, the amount of new insurance might only be 3.125 coins every 10 minutes, but the dollar value of that supply (its purchasing power) will also rise.

So instead of the easy-to-absorb $45M per day, at $1M per coin, the market needs to absorb $450M per day. And at $10M per coin, $4.5B per day.

Suddenly you’re going to need a LOT of demand again to buy up all the supply.

So the rising price acts as a second difficulty adjustment of sorts. Yes, newly mined coins are irrelevant at the beginning of the bull, but as NGU, they start to gain more weight. The more NGU, the more weight until they get so heavy, it slows down the growth all over again, and we get the consolidation year.

And then the halvening happens again, and we rinse and repeat.

Even of the moon landing is real, the attempt was at least 60 years too early. In the 1960s mankind did not yet have the appropriate technology to do what was attempted

I feel like architecture is psychology in geometry,

And psychology is the geometry of the mind.

I've studied neither formally. But feel such a draw to both... This energy needs to be released.

People who sell at:

150 - traders

200 - etf investors

300 - actual bitcoiners you know and admire everyday. Some of them will leave the boat and regret for the rest of their lives.

Lol @ anyone who thinks I’m a “fiat maxi” because I happen to have a retirement account which is allocated to Bitcoin companies.

pretty sure. what do you think?

Thiel looks like complete shit

I didn't really understand why I have a higher opinion of men, in general, than most women, until I realized that I just have unusually good taste, so I tend to end up interacting with the best men.

Like, I can tell the difference between "acts masculine" or "appears masculine" and "is masculine".

Hmm. Idk. But I've been laxidaisical (uhh.. autocorrect ain't helping on that one) with my startos relay, which is probably almost certainly not on. That might be it then
