This is one of the most compelling UFO theories I've heard in some time. Specifically about the metallic spheres that have appeared in photos and videos all over the world going back for decades and possibly centuries if you accept written accounts and artistic renderings. Patrick Jackson has been working on this for a while and gotten a shout out from Gary Nolan even. Worth a ponder nostr:npub1shad0wsgr8z2qtd8n5xlg5nh5a2hxz0f3jrcmdgs7zrx9ek9ck4spkf8e8 nostr:npub1ezw0xm0w52rd4yfdg9zlw9qvwdy46alzelklkefptrd203m37tuq4djmeg nostr:npub12gu8c6uee3p243gez6cgk76362admlqe72aq3kp2fppjsjwmm7eqj9fle6 nostr:npub1mu9wmykl7qx5llk69axd3rvk0hzhdd25jsqtj2hmnzjpn2sxum6s8jjj0t https://www.youtube.com/live/sJG2ePX_cjQ

Are you finding a lot of gum chewers seeking a chiseled jaw there?

I'm sure that's true. I just think he maybe should be holding a few more ideas back and workshoping them for a private audience.

For instance, using the English language as an example for his vision of how a brilliant useful protocol should change, very slowly over time only with careful consideration. Yet English changes in a very anarchic way, sporadically, regionally, in spurts, and sometimes quite drastically. There is no one consensus version of English. And "official" changes within dictionaries and textbooks are recognized only after a certain level of common usage has been adopted in a region, not because anyone has carefully considered each change and come to consensus that it is good for the protocol and protects the rights of all the current English users.

Not really

Nice. Needs an update with a few more years

No doubt Saylor is smart and can be interesting to listen to but he has some sketchy takes. His analogies have always been poetic but it seems they are getting less so and more absurd.

He pretends he is against ossification but can't give a single example of something that might be worth considering upgrading. He didn't even agree that segwit should have been implemented, while saying everything else should be moved to layer 2 and 3, without mentioning that lightning, the only truly successful layer 2 so far, wouldn't have been possible without it. Does he really not understand this or is he just being deceptive? Either way not a good look.

Can almost smell it from here

Depends on the cut

Many bitcoiners know Agustín Guillermo Carstens Carstens, the general manager of the Bank of International Settlements, through memes depicting him as the final boss of Bitcoin, due to his monumental stature as well as his disparaging comments about bitcoin, and the Bank’s push for global crypto regulation and pushing for CBDC adoption.

The history of the BIS is less well know, but boy is it full of some juicy tidbits. The following quotes are from David Talbot’s masterpiece about Allen Dulles, America’s first psychopath CIA director and puppet master, The Devil's Chessboard.

“One of Dulles’s most important contacts in Europe was Thomas McKittrick, an old Wall Street friend who was president of the Bank for International Settlements. BIS had been created by the world’s leading central banks to administer German reparations payments after World War I, but it soon took on a life of its own, transforming itself into a pillar of the emerging global financial system. Lodged in a former hotel next to a chocolate shop in Basel, Switzerland, BIS was so secretive that nobody was permitted to peer inside its boardroom, even when it was empty. By 1940, when McKittrick arrived in Switzerland to oversee the bank, it was effectively controlled by Hitler’s regime. Five of its directors would later be charged with war crimes, including Hermann Schmitz, the CEO of IG Farben, the chemical conglomerate that became notorious for its production of Zyklon B, the gas used in Hitler’s death camps, and for its extensive use of slave labor during the war.”

“The secretive BIS became a crucial financial partner for the Nazis. Emil Puhl—vice president of Hitler’s Reichsbank and a close associate of McKittrick—once called BIS the Reichsbank’s only “foreign branch.” BIS laundered hundreds of millions of dollars in Nazi gold looted from the treasuries of occupied countries. Some of the gold was torn from the mouths of concentration camp victims or melted down from Jewish families’ candleholders, cigarette cases, and other personal belongings.”

(Completely unrelated side note: McKittrick went on to work for Chase Bank after the war.)

Understandably, this sort of behavior soured the Allied countries toward the BIS, and at the Bretton Woods Conference the decision was made to completely disband and liquidate the BIS. However, this decision was opposed by none other than the head of the British delegation at the conference, well known economist and sexual predator John Maynard Keynes, and so the bank was never dissolved, and continues to be a tool economic imperialism and money laundering for the world’s richest and most powerful people to this day.

Isn't history fun?

Parece divertido bajo el sol.

Duct Tape Island is probably the best episode of Mythbusters

Unfortunately, accurate. But it's not too bad. It's a nice little bubble we got here. We don't need dirty politics mucking it all up.

Remember when Matt Taibbi showed up for a minute and everyone got real excited. I guess he was a little too early and didn't get enough of a following.

Just a general observation or in reference to a recent example?

You should get Dr. Jack Kruse on the podcast if you wanna go deep down the sun hole. He's prolific on Twitter but don't think he's on nostr yet.

Great episode!

you need to ask DARPA that question

He started promoting nostr. That's never a good thing for Twitter engagement. Elon no likey. Freedumb of speech not freedumb of reach he say

Do you know if I am able to make a back up of brain wallet if I have a neuralink installed?
