Personally, either peppermint tea or ginger, turmeric, and honey tea
Get well soon!
oh, good to know! are posts from Amethyst clients not showing up at all?
Man openboard for graphene just feels good
This feels like a key transition point- new platforms get a big boost from having an existing clique come over from an oldplatforms, but if you can't extend beyond that it chokes
haha- it's a little fun to have one app where when I check it, I know *exactly* what the topic of discussion is going to be (the same thing we do every night, Pinky!) but it is a little limiting
has anyone used autogpt to do anything useful yet? Something baseline gpt can't do?
cleared the tower, made it through max-q, real good test flight overall
12 minutes and no significant issues, let's go
as an aside, I think this recent video from CaspianReport is a real good compliment to the stuff they talked about in the middle about the impact on the developing world. In this case they're talking about France, not the UK, but it shows how that extraction/financial imperialism relies quite a bit on central bank shenanigans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-u1Pjce4Lg
okay, finished that after dinner this evening- it was neat to learn about the American economic warfare during Vietnam (the gold standard era). I'm a bit skeptical of their ultimate pitch, though. The funny thing is that even though they're talking about the post-empire era in general, everything they're describing is- surprise surprise- from the post-1971 fiat era. The pitch is that all this bad stuff is due to financial privacy, and if we only had better surveillance and more taxation, everything would be fine.
We should start meming the idea of calling BRICS bucks bancors into existence
I personally really liked Princes of the Yen, which gave quite a bit of insight as to what was going on with Japan post-war
The book is based off of is very good, but dense- the YouTube doc is a bit cheaply made, but gets the big ideas
This is really interesting! The City is fascinating, as is the emergence of 20th century finance
excellent reading rec
always amazed by the number of people who will nod along with the idea that era-defining social upheaval is on the way, but don't seem to think that will ever impact them personally, in the real world
Neat! Can you subscribe to their feed directly in Amethyst, or am I misunderstanding how this works?
How do you go about breaking out of that, I wonder? The traditional answer is to have a variety of networks and inputs, read widely and have a strong BS filter
Meditations is great- I come back to it again and again
Two links out in the knowledge graph:
The Inner Citadel is an academic commentary on it that provides some fascinating context about the era/language that I didn't know
The Philosophy of CBT is an awesome link between Helenistic Stoicism in general and modern cognitive behavioral therapy - again cool context, but also practically helpful (if you've ever been reading Epictetus and gone "great, but how do I do that")

This is interesting to think about. He's basically talking about frame control, right? And that I'm turn relies on the fact that you only have so much mental space to think about a topic within, so you're always going to consider one of a small number of angles.
Herbert Simon's got to have more on this
