I already know I screwed up a concept on Episode 2 of Motivating the Math. Would be great if I could just pin a post for stuff like this.

I didn't explain a Binary Operation (for a Group) correctly. I did leave a reference to a video that does explain it correctly and nothing I said will steer anyone wrong, but these things are what they are . The video addresses things in the first 20 seconds and I highly recommend it.

I'm still a noob w.r.t. Abstract Algebra and all things considered I actually think I did it justice.

They’re still NPCs and rely on people with more wealth to tell them what is good.

Nailed it by saying they pay people to have good taste for them. They pay in fiat and get what they pay for.

Thanks for making the clip bud.

Since you’re an economist - albeit for a fake country - how’d I do?

Thanks bud. All of our conversations are related. This is almost our Phish show in a different language.

Maybe you’ll help us out with some of the math one day

As long as we’re in a system of fiat money you never know who is paying you.

You might think you’re adding value to somebody but you have no idea whether or not that person is part of the government just trying to influence you by proxy.

No human society ever flourished with entrepreneurs ignoring their customers so one can’t be belligerent with those paying them.

There are only two ways to operate on a path towards sovereignty:

1. Resist getting paid by a benefactor to the extent possible. This requires stacking bitcoin and living extremely frugally.

2. Spend every second you have destroying the fiat system and working outside it.

Should you find yourself unable to resist being paid for your value, at least you can minimize the probability that you’re being bought by someone wishing to control you.

Thanks bud. Hope we deliver.

Yessir

We’re gonna make it possible for it to be strong enough for you to be free.

Thanks for listening!

Appreciate it - thanks for the boost! @AVERAGE_GARY

Here’s part 2. That will take you where you need to go.

WTF happened in 2009?

Did Bitcoin put us back on the Gold Standard?

Reminded me of a great podcast

https://open.spotify.com/show/0UfwHb51Spp2ewbwDpDx1e?si=kVl2o0QzRweczl170-N9rg

Seen the Biscuits a few times. In 1998 opening for Ominous Seapods at the Wetlands. Never got sucked in - always felt they were more of a drug band than Phish.

But they’re cool.

Thanks - I knew this was out there but couldn’t track the script down

havent set up the self hosted node yet with Alby - its on my list

Yeah but i have to be on a computer to zap from Alby. The apps that I used to use like Damus don't allow zapping.

The nostr groupies are gonna hate this but -

I enjoyed Nostr much more 18 months ago when it was easy and straightforward to zap.

I enjoyed it more when the apps were experimental and developing, before the influencers centralized everyone around Primal.

I enjoyed it more when Twitter was much more of an absolute signalless helscape than it is now.

I still like it here and its worth the time to keep building here but I don't think the experience is better today. Zaps need to come back and be made a lot easier.

Really can’t wait to listen to this one.
