I dislike working on teslas.

I used the stand (after putting the dolly wheels on it)

12' long, 7' tall

Never underestimate my ability to fuck things up as an end user.

I keep bauers on my feet so they're close to the hell they were forged in.

If i was going to have something surgically impanted onto my head, id jist have them sew my CCM onto me

I wonder if half of them are a strategy where they write such a dumb, incoherent headline, so the reader will have to read the piece just to grasp what the fuck they were talking about

Ray Peat was right that the attitude towards and the weaponization of knowledge is holding mankind back, and that we risk falling into a kind of Dumb Ages if this trend continues.

What he failed to see is that, human nature is mostly static, and the only way we seem to advance through history is by leveraging technology.

Viewed as an engineering problem, one might ask: why on earth are our storehouses of knowledge so vulnerable to malicious actors? That cronyists, globalists, and other authoritarians can distort, pervert, falsify, and even delete vital knowledge? Why is the internet vanishing as we head into monetary reset?

The simple answer is that knowledge that cannot defend itself from bad actors cannot survive bad actors.

#Bitcoin and #Nostr is the start of thinking about critical public infrastructure in terms of decentralized networks designed to resist bad actors.

What would a system look like that permeated our best knowledge, making the most timeless discoveries also the most costly to erase or distort? For making falsifications expensive?

I imagine something like a Wikipedia/Obsidian graph based wiki where communities can create knowledge and somehow seal the important bits, through votes or payments of some sort, in a way where it becomes progressively more timeless and expensive to hijack. Where members within a community earn trust/reputation that makes their votes/certification of knowledge weightier and more affordable to them.

Then, if communities make some big and important discovery or insight is made, outsiders would be unable to attack that body of knowledge, even if it threatened entire industries or governments.

Ray was naive to think that our focus should be spent on conditioning human nature instead of on engineering systems that could survive it.

Proof of work wiki

Are people actually reading articles that are written and posted online? I recall a time where if you found a mistake in a newspaper you write in to tell them. Now your average wall street journal article has a spelling error in the first three scentences and no one gives a single fuck.

Is anyone reading them to even notice?

Why do i swear ill do a better job at backing up my work PC when it dies, only to contimue being a clueless computer d00d when/if it reboots.

I think the ram shit the bed this time.

Built the stand (needs casters still)

Eggs were part of life before chickens

Be humble and zap sats

Clean the snow, wait for more snow
