TBH because I’m familiar with much of his lexica, and have read several other of his later works which were even more esoteric, I’m finding this to be his most straightforward reading so far.

What’s really funny is I remember trying to reading him 15 years ago, and I was so frustrated:

“Why can’t you just fucking say what you want to say in a meaningful way, you wretched cunt!”

I totally get why now, and unfortunately understanding Heidegger is a slog.

I’m reading Heidegger’s Being and Time right now, and it’s kinda fucking with me. For some background, I’ve read a lot of his other works (including The Event, which is the Time part of ‘Being and Time’) and I honest to God think that Bitcoin is The Event that Heidegger is speaking of.

It’s going to be a very, very long concourse to unpack it, but it seems that Bitcoin is authentic Dasein as a reflection on Being in our world and what the implications of understanding Bitcoin means to any person both today, and into the foreseeable future.

A whole house fan in the attic to suck hot air out of the house. Just needed it wired on a 20 volt circuit, but all were full at the sub panel and trying to run the wire was a bitch, so I tied a few other things together and freed up a slot, but only after trying like 5 other things.

This is the only time I do not want zaps

I did!

I wired up this goddamn house fan after fucking with the wiring for 3 days.

I can’t fucking win here. Damnit

Holy shit, I’m 3 days into this electrical project that should only take an hour, but each step recurves into like 20 side quest. JFC fuck the guy that did this wiring.

This was really good for the talk about having a public persona.

A little after two hours he makes the point about agency. Something like there are little cheat codes throughout that you can find and exploit to your benefit.

I generally don’t like Eric, but I enjoyed this conversation, even the physics shit talking.

Spent a lot of time in SE Asia. I am familiar with the slow walk to cross the street.

I live 50 miles from any stop lights.

I have a deep hatred and enmity for stoplights. The Pavlovian training to instill obedience to a light through the creation of the risk of death, verse a roundabout, and the selective and thoughtful placement of both, is the urban architectural project that is secretly a eugenics project.

I should I just send it on more of my detached philosophical ramblings?

This is a rhetorical question.

Something that is pretty fun is how you can use color schemes to create cryptographic primitives:

The real interest rate is the rate of interest in Bitcoin.

Few.

How else can mossad get a two for one deal?

There is no Truth that can be given, as truth is a process of unveiling what was already there. The only thing that can be done is creating the space—the global public square—where such Truth can be mulled over, compared, explored, and debated so one may use their own volition to unveil The Truth.

My favorite is the people in front of the supermarkets with a petition of some kind. Tell them that voting doesn’t matter is detrimental to humankind is always hilarious.

I am retard. Do I just login with my nsec?

I would zap you if I could.

Bitcoiners should stop simping to any political banner or system and realize that they are a new kind of power unto themselves.

It will only be with the full realization of this that peoples will start to organize the new political dynasty and possibilities for a future freed from the lies and corruption of a monetary system that is tied to the current system of party politics.

Yes, this is why Leviathan is the cover of the book with bitcoin in the scepter, representing the overturning of the temporal realm to the spiritual once again.

Now this window doesn’t need to define conversations or convention as much. There is a possibility of doing something new, having real, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations outside of that window.
