How old were you when you first saw the 8 in the middle of the 8 of diamonds card?

Ya damn skippy let's go!!! Thank you sir for the large zap it's going back to other #plebs

The external stimuli also very important. But good architecture on the mind will know what do with all information.

I feel for these people and I do my best to raise them up. #Improvement and #healing needs to come #from #within

Yes

I think we’re likely to see a period of time where digital fiats CBDC’s are issued against bitcoin. There’s nothing that bitcoin can do to prevent sovereigns from issuing their own currencies.

From your perspective, how does the co-opt play out? Where’s the vulnerability that could get exposed?

I’ve felt for a long time like a temporary period of co-option was inevitable on the way from here to there. I hope to be wrong about that though.

Thank you for the fee's

time passes so quickly!

Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson" has a fascinating section in which he defends automation and reduction of labor costs via machinery and technology:

"There is also an absolute sense in which machines may be said to have enormously increased the number of jobs. The population of the world today is four times as great as in the middle of the eighteenth century, before the Industrial Revolution had got well under way. Machines may be said to have given birth to this increased population; for without the machines, the world would not have been able to support it. Three out of every four of us, therefore, may be said to owe not only our jobs but our very lives to machines."

I wonder therefore, how he would view AI?

Nice ser! Also:

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.

Bitcoin is ded. 😂

I still can’t get over how fucking insane these AI tools are and what is being unleashed right now. Guys, you are ALL developers. Seriously, I cannot code, but I’ve spent half the day yesterday (and I’ll have it working perfectly in a bit) on a program to completely automate a daily task with the podcast and website that has been a pain in my ass for YEARS.

If you have a small, easily definable problem or something that takes 4 steps that you want done in 1, **You Can Build it!**

ChatGPT is that big of a deal. I’m not a developer… but I’ve been developing dozens of little scripts and small programs to do things for me and it’s just incredible. This is going to mess SO many things up. It feels like we are in the crux of the curve just before the “straight up” part #[0]​‘s hyper-deflation trajectory. I’m going to have to read The Price of Tomorrow Again to get a better picture of this now that something is so clearly demonstrating how fast this can start moving without any way back.

I hope you guys are fucking buckled up. 🔥

💫I am a work in progress 💫

People forget Bear Stearns failed March 2008 - months of denial followed before the public realized how bad the situation was under the surface.

Similar happening now but much larger scale. They did not fix fundamental issues after 2008 - everything is more fragile.

The Fed preemptively bailed out every bank with their BTFP program and First Republic still failed. The second largest bank failure in history.

There will be more failures. There will be more bailouts. Depositors will be "protected" by socializing losses across everyone.

Our President and mainstream financial pundits are currently pretending the banking crisis is over while most banks remain insolvent. There are going to be many more bank failures as this ponzi system unravels.

Things I don't want for myself:

To be one of those people that live "time is money"

To be so self absorbed I don't listen to others

To be so dependent on other people's approval I lose myself

To be a sell out

To be the best at anything

If I've seen every episode of trailer park boys does that make me more Canadian than most? 🤔
