On our multi-hour trip to the airport (heading to Oslo soon), my husband and I had a long debate about fiat and bitcoin. I love this sort of thing.

He is super bullish on bitcoin, but has somewhat lower expectations than me for its total market size and importance in the long run. But more importantly, he is a really good debater and can steelman fiat arguments better than most of the actual fiat proponents can, so it’s very useful iterative process for me to keep sparring his arguments and refine how I describe things for maximum clarity and impact. He also edits all of my long-form articles and edited my book, so he serves as my first line of defense to make sure everything I write can pass a certain muster outside of my own echo chamber.

It’s really important to do this sort of thing. Debate with people you like but where you see some things differently, and assess how it all checks out.

Everyone is sharing the worldcoin video, but I won't.

Look. Not everyone is going to make it. The point made by 1984 is the same point made by Ordinary Men: most people will love the regime. Most people will do anything to comply, to not stick out, to do what everyone else does—no matter how ridiculous.

The solution is deceivingly simple: don't try to change other people. Focus on yourself and how you spend your time.

Opt out. Don't feed the beast. Concentrate your time, energy, and attention on the alternatives represented by #bitcoin and #nostr. Become as resilient as you can. Become un-ruggable. Ignore the noise.

Is energy rationing being normalized as part of a population rampdown designed to preserve nature's food integrity for the Ruling Class?

First time lifting since the baby came. Not easy to overcome the inertia from adapting to +1. Mind over matter.

If her dad to the wrong responsibilities, you will also have a bad time

If you take less responsibility than her dad did, you're gonna have a bad time.

As I wrap the evening…..a mentor of mine wordsmithed a chat regarding the difference between the life long bureaucrat and an honest hard working pleb…..

“There exists a critical difference between one who understands the rubric, and one who comprehends the model.

The former pass exams. The latter change the world.”

Life is a balance trick

Damn.. looks like I have to go out on a limb and predict again.

We will never see bitcoin below $23k again!
