Anyone think the science behind body building and increasing muscle mass is complete BS?

Start chopping wood and digging ditches. With axes and shovels. Do earth work on a fairly small scale without heavy machinery. Spread gravel, mix and pour and level concrete. Swing hammers. Eat meat. You'll gain the muscles you need soon enough, as long as you get sleep and eat plenty of meat. You can start slow, but start somewhere.

I have arrived at similar conclusions. The male body was designed to do these useful activities. Others are hanging from tree trunks to stretch out micro-fascia muscles and align the spine, along with hand stands for heart and organs and simple pullup/hangs for grip and upper body.

It's a meme meant to say you're overhyped or over reacting about something in the wrong context, like screaming about mature bond yields in a Wendy's.

Money is not a tool in that way. It isn’t a sword, it’s a *communication tool,* people are social creatures, and they rely on communication with others to understand how others relate to their lives and time. When that communication becomes a lie, it should be obvious that they will react incorrectly if they have incorrect information.

You seem to fail to understand that money is one of the very few layers *below* culture in the societal stack, because money is a prerequisite to scaling beyond small tribes and families. In those small environments culture can be more reliant on trust, but at the scale of millions, our only option is to rely on money to signal values, because our other communication systems can’t scale or account for that depth of information.

It’s everything to do with incentives. None of this absolves the individual, but pretending that society can just ignore fundamentally broken economic incentives is a fairy tale. It’s not possible, our environment defines our limitations and the pressures that guide us.

A kind of silly, but still apt analogy:

Imagine asking everyone a simple question and then getting them to signal the correct answer by going through door #1 or door #2.

But then you block the entrance to door #1 with barbed wire, and then had someone handing out free coffee and donuts at door #2. Then afterward getting angry at how many people selected the wrong answer.

>The door 1 and 2 analogy.

I will work with your simplified analogy. You are claiming that once door 1 has barbed wires removed through Bitcoin, the right answer will be reached.

If i overstand correctly, Door 1 is a stand-in for all the good choices people could make if it were not for a state backed by bad fiat money.

Or you mean that the State itself blocking door 1 is payed for by bad fiat money, and that bitcoin allows it to be removed as an obstacle/become irrelevant, by virtue of its property as a gold like digital sound money.

You never mention why the state exists in the first place. Or how the problem it solves goes away with Bitcoin. Why or how does it abandon its barbed wire post infront of door 1 because of Bitcoin ? Or gold ? How does whatever replace it lead tonbetter mental health. Or if nothing replaces it (as in pure ancapistan) a classic monopoly/state just doesn't reform at door 1.

By your reasoning the State itself can be thought of as a technology or under-the-surface cultural tool that both communicates its values and traditions between large scale numbers of people in a societies, as much as the "signal of money" you mention, is.

I for one hope you are right, i hope the signal of Bitcoin is pure, like gold. I hope it can't be manipulated, like a real oz of 24c gold. I hope this purety, along with it's other properties fixes mental health, addicition and homelessness somehow. I hope these really are caused by bad money and not some necessary and essential part of mortal existence, transitory experience, and cultural cycle.

I will not be satisfied, though, until you strong optimist for Bitcoin admit the tempered optimist position that:

Bitcoin is something new, as yet unproven, and while supported by sound technology, game theory and economic principals, it remains to be shown that it will create a better-than-fiat world, or even a better world than the last sound money did, gold. The modern easy credit/fiat world can be argued was better than the "sound money" world of gold, in that it had available credit to waste on such things as military development of GPS, The Space program , ect.

My call to action is: Talk is cheap. Prove Bitcoin is better.

In the time bitcoin has been around, Tesla has gone from no cars to world wide adoption and delivery. Smartphones have changed everything. Dominoes went from shit pizza to hyper customized no click delivery. All under fiat.

We have lightning.....

This is honestly the perfect peaceful protest against monetary dystopia.

If you find a place that says “card only - no cash.”

Insist on paying in cash.

Gold is broken, the market is rigged by futures contracts.

Same could be possible to Bitcoin.

Same with silver and Nickel.

Bitcoin can be protected from this through education and responsibility. But it's not guranteed. Just look at how much money and man hours was wasted on shitcoins and NFT's.

Bitcoin is not just pure market signal, it reflects the soul.

Replying to

Not really. Man couldn’t break gold. It was when man created a virtual economy that existed a layer above the physical (paper notes and redemption certs) that were simply vulnerable to the most basic form of lie/fraud. It was simply a technology with no really monetary attributes, it only impersonated real money.

The whole point is to create a digital money that *actually* has monetary attributes inherent to its design. It’s not that man corrupted money, it’s that man created an environment where natural money didn’t exist, and we had to invent it in order to get past a massive flaw that was holding us back from real economic communication to stop the astronomical misallocation caused by the breakdown of value transfer.

This is a far more nuanced argument. I like it. It's more in line with what i think Bitcoiners should be saying and claiming.

Bitcoin is the *first* sound money to exist. Even gold was not sound money.

People like Matt Kratter remind us of this.

We will hopefully come up with better terms and memes than "sound money" and comparisons with gold, or trying to replicate gold (which has along with silver always been centralized).These fiscally conservative memes carry a ton of baggage, especially in the american context.

Bitcoin is something new, and its long term affects are unknown.

You take the strong position for its net positive affects on everything from housing to, morality, to mental existentialism. I simply take a less strong position, skewed towards a preference for your type of optimism. Call it tempered bitcoin optimism.

Fiat did some good things, it did a lot of bad things. The american space program relied on fiat debt and credit promises. So did vietnam.

Bitcoin doing better than fiat for civilization, that is: your strong case for bitcoin optimism, remains to be proven.

Money broke culture. Our economic values and the perception of “success” becomes diverted form all reality when you manipulate the money. It distorts literally all of our value judgements.

"money broke culture" and "when you manipulate money" are mutually exclusive events. If the best arguments for Bitcoin rely on blaming the sword and not the person holding the sword, we are doomed to repeat fiat. For instance, you blame the great depression on government policy response to private debt. I blame individuals alowing it to happen.

Have you ever read “Bullshit Jobs”? If not you might really like it. I think he has the best means of assessment on how many jobs in the economy are actually meaningless and contribute nothing. There’s a reasonable argument for 40% as a potentially conservative estimate.

I have. Have you read his other book, Debt: the first 5000 years ?

Relationships come before money. Money can't fix what culture broke.

Replying to

It’s actually not that complicated. Debts ballooned to 300-400% of GDP, then collapsed, then the govt response was absolutely idiotic, and it didn’t recover until a huge portion of the workforce returned from the war.

War does nothing for economic growth, it’s nothing but waste and destruction.

If that were the case then we could just build fleets of ships, sail them out into the seas and blow them up in perpetuity and we’d have a permanently healthy economy.

War incentivized cryptography->internet->bitcoin.

If there was no "other" to fight, society would not even need money, we would just exchange favors, as certain bitcoiners have pointed out.

Up to a point. We have reached the point where what you are saying is perhaps true. Nuclear, Biological, and modern war can wipe out more resources and human potential than is sustainable. Nothing quite drives innovation like existential dread. But we are beyond sticks and arrows.

My point about bitcoin fixing anything stands. If the gold standard, the go to example for why bitcoin will fix everything, could not prevent the great depression, despite being a similar scarce/depreciating asset, than bitcoin won't fix everything. (By everything i only mean what you say it will, not literally everything)

Either Bitcoiners( myself included) need to start fielding real answers to physical problems, visas, housing, economies and defence. Or we must admit Bitcoin is something entirely different with little in common with gold and will somehow not fall into the same state capture, and that it will offset depression level events even if we do nothing. Else fiat is likely to be seen as better for a very long time.

We spent ten years to create a shit experience like lightning, and the famine is like tomorrow.
