OH! Oh, even better!
Maybe throw in a Zeus, taking a deuce… on… the loose?

I mean I was gonna eat whatever you just made, but hey if you don’t wanna share that’s fine…
😪😒😔😂
Huh. Interesting… 🤔
I’ve heard a system that auto-regulates a saline pool, seemed complex and expensive though. I’d have to think about a chemical version…
…I’m not sure how the subject connects to the predicate here… is this some kind of secret BTC euphemism I’m not cool enough to know? 😅😂
Sweet ride! 😯😋🤙

In the latter letter, he uses the phrase “despise death” with particular emphasis, despise having a similar root and meaning to scorn.
Looks like…

Dude you’re totally missing my point 😂😅 so please allow me to be clear:
1. To your og point, I don’t deny programming skills have significant and broad value in “today’s economy”
2. Nor that, by conventional standards, such skills would be a boon
(Ignoring for the moment obvious counterpoints regarding the utility of specialization, and resulting decrease of previously considered “pragmatic skills” within populations of growing economies)
But as to my point: what IS a boon? Wealth? Power? Those don’t mean the same thing to everybody. To some, including many who are rich in both, they’re nothing at all.
And what does it mean to be “slowed down”? A lot of people say that’s exactly what they want. Others blame technology for doing exactly that — “taking” their time (via maintenance duties, bad habits, etc.) they’d rather spend on other things.
(And as to the Cynics, like Diogenes, they’d *reject* such conventional standards, and live “like dogs”)
Hence why so many don’t hold BTC. They can see the initial cost-to-entry, and despite potential long term profit (via anti-inflationary hodling, etc.) this initial cost of learning and effort would “slow them down” from the OTHER things they’d rather be doing.
Similar analogy, altho I was trying to be a little more fair to the “developed”/futuristic society, which is clearly antagonized for depraved in BNW.
Hence my point was John the “savage” could certainly exist in the future — altho to your point, yes, obviously he’d have a hard time existing in both worlds simultaneously.
Nooot really ludditism bro — that’s more like “Tech is evil cause it steals jobs, YOU can’t use it.” Hence the whole destroying other people’s textile machinery and all that.
THIS is more like: I don’t like YOUR tech, so I’M not going to use it, or to decide exactly the role it’s going to play in my life. VEEEERY different.
To suggest that everyone MUST use the newest form of every kind of tech as soon it appears is far more absurd, AND far more authoritarian, and much more like ludditism in that way.
secondary counterpoint:
No. 🫥😂
Computers only have to “play as much of a role” as you want them to, considering the circumstances. Many don’t want that role at all, and are actively diminishing it.
Worst case scenario, greek cynicism is always an option. Be like Diogenes, feast at the table of the gods. 😌😎🤪😂
In that sense, I can easily imagine a future-world like Astro Boy or New Genesis, from DC comics.
People who prefer to live “primitively” can freely do so on the surface world, those who’ve chosen otherwise can as well. A major (but peaceful and reasonable) dichotomous split in society.
“graphic interchange format”, according to siri/Wolfram
Is it the concept or the company you distrust?
Sounds like mostly the latter(s).
My understanding was stable-coins or mostly an intermediary between traditional finance and crypto-exchanges and services.
Not really necessary for the self-custodying BTC nerd (which is preferable) but maybe for the Wall St. types or DeFi loans/interest. 🤔🤷♂️
Not much point otherwise, since they’re literally pegged to USD. Altho Tether does have a gold-pegged service… I guess that’s probably better, maybe more practical for some until than can hold gold on their own.
Supposedly the creator of the .gif format said it was “jif” like the peanut butter.
Or maybe it was the other way around… 🤔 I don’t really care 🤷♂️😌😂
why? (…specifically😂)
