1) is why Knots is at 15% - most Knots-runners don’t know it but they’re opposing blue-haired fags outright

People who find messages playing stuff in reverse are absolutely fucking retarded.

Speaking forwards naturally is hard enough; attempting to send encoded messages through reverse translation is so ridiculous you need to be shot if you think this is some plausible route.

Im not alleging anything though.

My framing is a play on Allen Farrington, who played on Ludwig Wittgenstein.

If you’re so ready to believe a post like this which could shake your belief in #Bitcoin then might I suggest you invest another 1000 hours studying what you hold?

You’d have recognised what this was with those 1000 hours under your belt.

Insider threat from blue-haired fags pushing changes to default node implementations which no-one wants or agrees with.

Undiscovered bugs.

Mining centralisation fucking up baked in incentive alignment.

Global level EMP.

What part is scary for you? Genuinely interested to know

“best proof of stake chain” is itself an oxymoron. PoS is entirely political, it has applications in that domain on Bitcoin but not as governance and security of an L1.

That mETHeads fucked up so badly is glorious!

Yeah I can’t talk to your context, when I say Boomers it should be constrained to Western anglosphere Boomers - that’s who I’m talking about as that’s what I understand. Soviet bloc Boomers had a different arc so I can’t say for them.

Western-Anglo Boomers weren’t just naive, they were massively programmed and ate it up. I agree that they are retarded in that they don’t have a clue how programmed they were.

And that’s why I posted this. They’re so naive they think they’re owed something but are literally going to take out more than they ever put in; which is absurd.

Fuller had a section talking about this programming as a positive in Critical Path: nostr:note1zx050vhq9cxxzz5a8583redeqhl42afkv666jwldnfe2gukf5skqcjrmdc

But even he would have been disturbed to see how they turned out.

>”the problem was (and largely still is even with the current gen) that they think that pension are "savings".”

Kind of. The problem is Western Boomers have a bastardised view of “””the social contract”””.

They believe, as there forebears did, that kids would look after their parents.

They believe this was systematised through the Boomer’s god - the State.

But that was never true, it’s not what happened, it is not reality.

The State setup a Ponzi scheme and the Boomers, in their arrested development, bought it hook, line, and sinker.

You’re right in that they see pensions as Savings. They think that they paid in and that money would be there for them in old age.

But where I disagree is that they weren’t scammed. They are adolescents in senior bodies. They were too brainwashed by the State (particularly via M5M), they believed too much, didn’t think to question anything, and now we have to deal with a massive generation of old people who live in an alternate reality as effectively children.

I’m not prescribing malice, rather naivety to a degree which we as humanity have no historic records of. It’s so bad I personally find it evil but I understand the pushback I get on going after Boomers too.

“Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.”

Do you really think I’m ripping off nostr:npub1sfhflz2msx45rfzjyf5tyj0x35pv4qtq3hh4v2jf8nhrtl79cavsl2ymqt to try to sow FUD?

Or could it be that I’m using his framing to pose a more philosophical question about one of the few theoretical weaknesses with #Bitcoin ?

You mean, they were worried about climate change and they made terrible decisions which had enormous financial impacts on them?! 👀

I try to consume lots of information and synthesise what fits the world best. Because humans are programmable:

“What would it seem like if it did seem like a global, digital, sound, open source, programmable money was being cracked by quantum computers?”

Norms and habits. We behave in ways that are already comfortable and predictable to us.

You need to be in control of your own norms and habits. When they’re derived from rules and customs, you are slave to whomever made the rules and customs.

This is using raw historic data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics for median weekly wages * 52, and applying the tax brackets from each financial year and the Medicare levy without any subsidies (so that $33k paid in is an overestimate).

The pension figure is for this FY, it’s indexed and will go up next year and thereafter.

BOB THE AVERAGE AUSSIE BOOMER

After seeing one too many “I pAiD iN aLL mY LifE!!” Boomer posts recently, my autism got the better of me so I decided to debunk Bob The Boomer’s rubbish once and for all.

Boomers born in 1958 are now eligible for the aged pension (at 67) in Australia - $29,874 per year for singles.

If Bob entered the workforce at 18 in 1976 and worked the average job his entire life, he earned $2,049,181 and paid a total of $413,082 income tax - equivalent to 13.83 years worth of pension (less actually, as the pension is indexed and goes up each year so he will receive more).

Those taxes are meant to, you know, HAVE FUNDED THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT over the last 50 years and all the free shit they doled out.

But in fact, if Bob lives the average 18 years of life he has ahead of him (per the ABS), he will receive more in aged pension than the entirety of his income tax contributions paid in. So he had free school, free Uni, a military, emergency services, R&D, everything that the State provided, and now he gets more than all of his money back via the pension. 10% of annual Federal expenditures go to givING Bob more money than he ever paid in.

But wait, there’s more!

Bob paid $33,283 in total Medicare levies over his career.

The Government pays about $6,717 in Medicare expenses per year per person - the figure is much higher for seniors but they don’t make this data easy to find lest we all realise another place Bob is robbing us blind.

So not only is Bob getting all his taxes back and then some, but he’s also getting all his Medicare levies back plus 3X more than he put in over the course of his pension years!

When Bob says “I pAiD iN aLL mY LifE!!” the reality is, on net he didn’t pay a damn thing. He lived at the expense of future generations and continues to do so without even a modicum of understanding that is what he is doing.

This system MUST NOT CONTINUE. It has already destroyed us economically, and it’s destroying future generations not born who are being forced to carry this ridiculous parasite on its back.

It is bad ass! With all the travel you do, imagine having a dedicated wallet in your luggage kitted out ready to go with everything you need and no risk of losing stuff that you won’t be using which is a major pain to get replaced if you do.

Leave insurance, drivers license, membership, bank cards in your fossil wallet; travel bank card, room cards, cash, bitcoin and security live here.

When the fossil eventually becomes a fossil, you’ve got this worn in ready to go!

How do you have a functional society with these kind of adults having equal voting rights?

You don’t.

Ergo, society is dysfunctional.

The marginal gains are hardly worth it any more. We need new form factors and new paradigms - this one is tapped out.

Have read it before. Didnt try to verify it all but I can believe it’s likely true.

Doesn’t change my thinking though:

Yeah if I was going to write a technical manual then German might well be my number one choice.

But the original image was about conveying the emotion “good”, and my post was about the totality of the language English. I think it’s that conveyance of meaning, emotions, intangibles, that’s what sets English apart.

Greater depth and granularity of the human condition is available in English than German, notwithstanding words that English doesnt have, it wins by weight of having more words that fill in these gaps in between which is what the graphic is showing.

Most English speakers reading that will either agree with the weighting or be +/- 1 point across the whole list; Germans would have a list half as long and likely be +/- 2 points in more instances.

“Handy” is hardly precise.

“Rechner” neither.

And a “Beamer” is a BMW, never a projector.

Languages loaning words isn’t a problem. That’s what ananas is.. It’s not like the Germans had ever seen a pineapple growing by the Rhine.

The choice as languages are confronted by new things is between being descriptive ie pineapple or loaning ie ananas.

I personally prefer loaning words, but I’m not the king of the English language.

Because it’s shaped like a pine cone and in old English, æppel (apple) was the common generic term for fruits.

Fruit was adopted like beef and mutton and other terms; amongst the aristocracy trying to be fancy and distinct from the peasant classes with their foods by using the French.

Likely the impetus to tax it harder knowing them

Disproportionately high number of them are.

I love that the two most normie categories making up a quarter of genpop make up 0% of Bitcoiners too. That tells me we’re not crazy.

Au contraire my friend!

The #AUStriches state I just left is banning machetes because the Africans they imported are wreaking havoc and they keep letting them out on bail to reoffend.

Where I live now in Vietnam a guy rides around on a motorbike with a speaker blaring “Sharpen your knives, sharpen your scissors, rehandle your knives” and you can go outside and buy a machete off him or take your blunt knives and he’ll make them razor sharp for you for a dollarydoo 😂

Somehow I don’t think banning machetes is going to solve anything.

South Australia with their heavy reliance on renewables is at the tippy top of pricing for Australia, and thus the entire Asia Pacific region. nostr:note18pyt8mqzyslrzpaaxufezvgyq2zk589w7pl45uwjqfjt6nkxz49qefx7mc

This is so funny 😂

OpenAI was just part of a $500 Billion announcement with Masa Son from SoftBank - money they *clearly* don’t have - for some ridiculous infrastructure buildout to progress AI / align themselves with Trump.

The day prior, a bunch of Chinese dudes open-sourced a model which is on par with OpenAI’s newest and best LLM which costs 3% of ChatGPT or can be downloaded and run locally for free.

All these American hopes being pinned on AI being this new amazing industry and productivity engine have been completely undermined by some dudes in a basement who are subject to sanctions on GPUs.

The US is so fukt, the only question is how long Trump can maintain the confidence game before things fall apart outside of anyone’s control. nostr:note1gwcsdgtrquasy8nhnh6x49jufpyeted0fjvexay80qxg8qpj93wsmlk2ec
