Mainly a tv concept. I find those are the people who make a million dollars a year and spend all of it. The people I know who are worth 9 and 10 figures spend a lot of time with their children. They understand they are investing in the future.

Was Snowcrash ever made into a movie?

Spent half an hour explaining encryption to a girl I was dating and how SMS text messages are not secure. She admitted it’s important to have privacy and downloaded signal to speak with me. A week later she deletes signal because “having multiple messaging apps is cringe” lmao. Can’t even be mad at normies, they disqualify themselves for you pretty early on so you don’t waste too much time with them.

The odds that they can are high, the odds that they actually do are low

Hmm.. so you’re saying that Apple and Microsoft can access entire conversations (and basically spoken lives) of families at home who use their operating systems?

Lack of context is way worse on Nostr than on Twitter. There's algo pushing the current thing.

Really disappointed that some will make accusations without evidence and then have a bunch of people pile on as if it's fact. What happened to Don't Trust, Verify?

Good morning

I would further define a "selfish act" as "any act that one perceives to be beneficial to one's self in any given situation."

I maintain that all voluntary acts are selfish in the sense that they would not do the act if they didn't feel it was the best of available choices that would bring them the most personal satisfaction (or least dissatisfaction) - especially the giving of one's life for another

My man, how are things

Good evening

1. In every single case, with no exceptions? What about people who give their lives for others? Or people who endure extreme pain for others?

2a. Your argument is based on knowing the subjective feelings of others. This violates Mises' axioms.

2b. How do you know? This belief seems religious to me. If it is, then that's fine, I guess. Agree to disagree.

Now, REQUIRING others to act altruistically, or saying it's their DUTY, doesn't sit right with me. But that's a different beast.

The argument I posit is that giving makes the giver "feel good" and is therefore really "selfish."
