Same thing they have done to social media, and to everything: regulate the fuck out of it so only the giant cronies who comply with "the greater good" and fuse with the State apparatus can survive.

That's exactly what fascism, aka corporatism is and how it works. In China, in the US, in Europe. Same identical system.

The minute we get below 25 C, this happens.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking about, in the short term.

Be born in carbon-replicator form, then upload your ass to a silicon-binary form than can withstand gamma rays, extreme cold, enormous time lapses, and all that nasty crap that you need to endure in order to star-hop at sublight speeds.

But eventually, I think the whole "being born" thing ceases to make sense or just becomes impossible, and we just stick to inorganic, voluntarily or not.

Another option is that we create and release AIs based and trained on our cumulative hundreds of thousands of years of biological evolution and cultural development, and that they are the ones that survive and spread instead of our biologically human forms. Sort of, we stop evolving biologically, no descendant DNA-based species, but a silicon-based one.

I would still think that there is no other way for us to make it in the long term than colonizing as many stars as possible, and that this requires transitioning from carbon-based self-replicating chemistry to an inorganic-based form of consciousness vessels that can withstand long-distance space travel.

In any case, it's quite possible that others have already done the same. We may be unable to find "life" in the universe, and that at the same time conscious beings are out there.

I do have to ask: couldn't just Lightning do this by default? Why do we need to add layers upon layers?

People here worry a lot about censoring content and preventing people from involuntarily seeing stuff, but I remember very clearly how irrationally triggered many maxis got that one time I said that I'd feel more comfortable using bitcoin as currency if the transaction required the receiver to accept it to go through.

I never got a straight answer about why that would be bad or not possible, just grunts.

My comment was based on my direct experience of someone getting arrested (and put in isolation and without any sort of rights or external communication to anyone, including their embassy, lawyers or family, for a couple of months), judged and deported for 10 years from Japan because someone else send them a tiny amount of hashish unbeknownst to the receiver.

The government is by default incompetent at best, and more often and realistically, just plain evil. nostr:note1wu862d65d03n9muhtjtng2dh534xcescc62eh26cf9xugjpzgsas2mf4ca

Just missing those two, but enjoying the client very very much otherwise.

Time to turn the Mainvolume down.

P2P MFs raising premiums by a couple of % since yesterday, I see you and I'm memorizing your names.

"Above my initial ape. In cost basis" totally works for me.

You have sucked all dicks?

Probably when we hit $70k.

This is the guy who sold everything at the lowest of the lowest bear bottom to buy S&P500. Imagine.

Huh, interesting! Do you reckon it works with filtered coffee instead of espresso?

Well, I wish people responsible for managing billions of dollars of other people's money would take a few seconds to think through before answering questions more often, if that's what bothered you about Saylor's reply...

I love Michael, but he's a bit cheeky in his answer, because he did not have a part in engineering Bitcoin, and I don't think he has one now either. Not from the strictly engineering point of view.

Don't take me wrong, I think he has a brilliant mind, so I wish he did have a part. But where are his engineered bitcoin products and solutions?

I'm ROFL but instead of the F it's my sofa.

The same friend who for the last fee months has been telling me that he wasn't buying BTC because it was dead and too risky, today is telling me he's not buying because he missed the pump and it's too expensive.

The fucking memes are real,
