The creator of Solana, ladies and gentlemen

Someone cooks your steak like this. What do you do?

I like it as an idea, but I don't think consciousness was something that evolved as he (or Dennis) suggested. It's quite specific in how it manifests, it's a bit like suggesting fire evolved.

I've suspected for a short while that psychedelics are primarily frequency modulators.

"Psilocybin has been shown to modulate neural activity and frequency oscillations in the brain... [] ...This effect is characterised by a decrease in power in low-frequency bands, such as delta, theta, and alpha, and a trending increase in gamma oscillatory power."

"In terms of EEG, psychedelics have been found to increase broadband signal entropy and show band-specific changes in spectral power"

With mushrooms, I suspect (can't find any supporting literature or evidence that it has been examined) that different strains will have a different range of frequency bands they induce for different experiences, and the higher the dose, the more in tune with that band of frequencies you feel.

I think these experiences aren't a shortcut to anything, but it can offer different perspectives that help us gain understanding faster.

I’m running a quick poll: How many of you Nostriches believe the Austrian school should be our economic model instead of Keynesianism?

Repost if you’re in favor, comment if you disagree!

You were promised a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and instead you got

- Ross finally free

- Bitcoin at 83k

For me, that’s a win.

I used to read Dave Ramsey's books and follow his advice like scripture. Not so much any more...

What's a funny comedy with a little bit of action for our 10-year old son and me to watch?

Something like The Princess Bride...

No animation please.

“The worship of the state is the worship of force. There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. The worst evils which mankind ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments.”

Starches are just long chains of sugar.

Bread is sugar.

Rice is sugar.

Pasta is sugar.

Potato is sugar.

Inflation is a chicken-shit tax cowards use on their citizens

when they are too insecure to just tax their citizens.

No matter how you got here, you're here.🫡🫂💜

Stop setting expectations that bitcoin is going to rise when people find out the gold isn't in Fort Knox. I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump admin makes sure it's filled before going in there to signal economic strength as the world is scrambling for physical gold.

Banking on an empty vault for a bitcoin price pump is setting the market up for disappointment.

The correct framing is: we shouldn't have to wonder whether or not the gold is in Fort Knox, we should be able to publicly audit the country's reserves 24/7/365 and bitcoin enables that. It is very hard to do that with gold, as the last five decades have proven.
