stealing that line ^
It's very much both, but of course it's when this comes from the IRL friends that it really hurts.
Iāve been rapidly loosing friends to this red pill man mania. Itās frightening to all of the sudden witness so many people with the same talking points.
...what do you do when your friends get caught up in an ugly social contagion?
Try to talk them out of it?
Disconnect?
Wait for them to come out the other side?
Instead of joking about how often everyone is thinking about the Roman Empire, why not read the economic theory behind why empires and nations collapse?
...There is a whole chapter on the Roman Empire!
I just finished this one and highly recommend it.
Itās a mark of maturity to not let your pain blind you to the pain of others.
What's your favorite book on Economics?
There are so many that I love, but I've been reading Why Nations Fail and really enjoying it. It's so great that I'm having trouble finishing it as I have to pause every 20mins to fantasize about all the arguments I could have won if just I had had that bit of data I just learned! š
Highly recommend it.
I like to do BitDevs a bit differently, at San Juan Bitdevs we do the news, and then a deep dive on one topicā¦ Because I just canāt stand a superficial understanding of anything!
So join us at the end of next week to dive into how fedimint works.
Nuance is a sign of wisdom and maturity.
Itās concerning that itās so common for people to think itās cool to talk shit about, or make ugly ājokesā about the opposite sex. Thatās not a flex! Youāre tattling on yourself and the quality of your relationships.
You know what is a flex? Talking about what great relationships you have with men/women.
...and on that note, have I mentioned that Iāve been happily married for nearly 13 years now?? š
This is what a future software developer looks like.
Itās totally cool and sometimes very interesting to talk about the differences between men and women, there are some, and understanding them can be very helpfulā¦ but donāt ever lose respect for individuality.
Please, please whatever you do donāt ever curtail the self-concept of a child!
Let them have all the possibilities.
Wisdom is the ability to zoom out a bit and see the situation from a higher perspective.
This one is still blowing my mind, itās the most fun demo Iāve build, so Sci-Fi. I told my computer to go buy something for meā¦ and it did!!!

I'm friends with Linux!
I ate too much, drank too much, and talked too much at TABConf š¤Ŗ

What's a book that you wish you could get all of humanity to read?
I can scarcely think of a more effective way to wreck someone than to convince them to divorce themselves, to fracture themselves by denying and disowning their own feelings.
"It's only when we have the intellectual humility to accept the fact that we can be influenced, that we can limit how much we actually are."
Been thinking about groupthink.
It's been very interesting to me over the years to watch the wild swings in popular opinion and beliefs in different communities. Have you seen this too?
What's the wildest swing in sentiment that you've witnessed?
Iām prepping for a 2 hour #TaprootAssets workshop at TABConf!
Whoās going?
Tell me what should we cover in the workshop? Minting? Proofs? Working with the API?
