If you’re into the corn and nostr via your understanding of the importance of our emerging digital selves…

Really oughta check out ā€œAltered Carbonā€ …

Late to the party, says ye?’

That may be…but there is no room for hipsterisms in this 4th turning….

You understand, endure, and or adapt; or you die scared, alone, and full of hate brought on by not understanding that there isn’t a single thing that exists that hasn’t spent it whole life becoming something else.

Had a client get injured today… I’ll never work another fiat job that doesn’t deal with dogs… and that’s because it makes you feel alive…

Feeling alive is non-discriminatory. You will feel good, but only with the bad for comparison.

My Whippet buddy baby boy, Gouda…he’s wound so tight and ALWAYS zoomies. We have a policy against zoomies in group but…what is a whippet that doesn’t zoom? Not a whippet.

The dog that gave this injury to Gouda gave him just a cautionary nip, something that all dogs do; not even a ā€œfuck youā€ bite, but a ā€œbro, slow and calm the fuck downā€ nip…

Problem was…inertia is WAY beyond our canine counterparts. That nip was enough to tear the outer skin.

Man, I was a nervous wreck calling his mom. Even worse waiting for her to pick him up…

All the while, the show must go on. 85+ other dogs needed to be taken care of. Not just that, but have fun.

If you think the idea that dogs can sense/smell emotions, particularly frustration?

Please. Understand it’s one of the more real things our world has to offer.

Dogs (and animals) are our window into what is ā€œrealā€ by a standard other than our own contrived, self serving nature.

People spend life times deciding what they want to be; curating ā€œwhat they areā€.

This is a huge misstep. It sets one up for failure, and even more importantly, it’s often weaponized against them by those who are naturally adversarial; the hoards that feel the need to cut others down to perceive themselves as taller.

No; what you are makes no difference in this world, or any world.

What does matter; what carries weight, value, resolution, and honor…

…is what we know we are not.

To truly know oneself is to know what one is not.

Whom ever was talking with me about ā€œAltered Carbonā€ spot on with the Cyberpunk comparison.

Thanks for the suggestion; pretty fire.

I use a tax service that gives me alerts and ā€œprotectionā€ from that kinda thing…not sure of the efficacy but it’s found my email name a few times

On the dark web supposedly

There was a time…way back, in the ol’ Twitter days…it was 20’ I had just downloaded Robinhood on my phone, I was picking Lithium and Lithium mining companies figuring I was late on Tesla (and I’ve never been a ā€œName Brandā€ kinda guy) but the opportunity with periphery related companies seemed a halfway intelligent play…for someone who never even gave investing a second thought.

Noticed the option to buy #Bitcoin and that’s when I started to fall into the rabbit hole.

Starting to aggressively consume information, I stumbled onto Bitcoin Twitter where I at one point felt and tweeted how important the community was. It felt like digital home…

Now, as I post this note. I can surely say Nostr has that feeling but with conviction and something much closer to tangible community.

Love ya.

Do good things today.

Said something similar to this to someone not all that long ago

I feel bad (sort of); it’s guna swallow people whole.

Seriously tho……. ā€œI swear bro; the orbs legit. Just come check it out. You’re already in a system;bro, trust me. Let it scan your eye, just orb yourself, bro.ā€

Specialization is the biggest cause of knowledge outsourcing. It's how we get cryptographers, surgeons, economists, physicists, mechanics, pilots, engineers, and every other position that requires a high time cost to get skilled in.

It is the backbone of efficient economies but it also created a feedback loop that creates further specialization and limitation on how we can perceive things. As we specialize further to better compete we also lose that time that could be used anywhere else, limiting what we can focus on. A mechanic and a doctor are different types of repair but how many people can really learn both? And if someone does learn both would they have time to pay attention to electronics?

This behaviour allowed us to create quite efficient, but wasteful, economies and the success itself has consequences.

It's not a paradox to say actions have equal and opposite reactions; a pretty stable law of physics and an important concept in many religions and philosophies.

Though I agree the actions of the powerful usually seem to boil down to expanding and keeping their power. Electronics rarely improve or innovate now so the two common strategies are planned obsolescence and new "cool" looks, like the fashion and vehicle industries. Planned obsolescence has been one of the older behaviours to bleed people of their well earned wealth faster. It becomes the primary strategy when real improvement becomes prohibitively costly from investments diminishing returns.

Well said; and clearly from a background with experience in the matter.

I will admit I hesitated, struggled, then failed to use a better term than ā€œparadoxā€ though I rationalized it as simi valid when considering these feedback loops are counterintuitive (probably the better word) assuming ā€œbetterment of the massesā€ is the pervasive goal of tech and its innovators.

Though obviously idealistic, considering that last sentence, my perspective and interest is the pieces we’re both referencing. Particularly the feedback loops are something that’s been the center of my analysis in late stage cap (as I see it).

I’m sure it’s no secret to you the importance of perspective and yours has weight and value.

More important, but identical in concept, is the overall focus of what is being produced as a result of consumer demand…we’re in a cycle of manufacturing fluff and ā€œjunk foodā€ and this, I believe is at the heart of our current cultural bankruptcy.
