It's actually kind of shocking how polarized my Twitter/X feed has become.

So many people who were technical developers, capital allocators, thoughtful geopolitical commentators, etc are now just outright tribalists.

-Some of them are direct anti-Palestinian. Not just anti-Hamas, but outright against Muslims existing in Israel.

-Some of them are direct anti-Jew. Not just anti-Zionist in the sense of being critical of the modern state of Israel and its border rights. But instead just like, actually anti-Jew.

I hate to see this. The truth is not necessarily in the middle (ie "moderation" may itself be wrong by assuming the middle is correct), but perhaps more concerningly, many people can't even steelman their opponent's view. In the best of worlds, you should be able to explain the most intelligent version of your opponent's view, and then deconstruct it by explaining how it's wrong.

I see little of that. Hardly anyone can do it. My feed is now mostly like 90 IQ tribalist stuff, even from 120 IQ people. It's sad to see. I rarely see anyone who can steelman the Palestinian case and then explain why Israel is right, or steelman the Israeli case and explain why the Palestinians are right.

I have my own personal views, first and foremost toward the civilian children, and secondarily toward land rights, but perhaps my biggest view thirdly is to criticize the sheer polarization that has occurred. Everyone is sure, but few can particularly explain the dilemma in detail in such way that acknowledges their smartest opponents views and then builds their own case against that. Almost everyone is instead polarized and tribal now.

Interviewed RFK and Vivek today. Got both their takes on #bitcoin.

Both interviews are out next week.

After analyzing it for a thousand hours over more than a decade, I still can’t find a better nutrient-to-cost ratio than grass-fed ground beef.

I also think non-grass beef is fine vs normal beef, but then I have certain environmental permaculture soil maxi ethical views. So I mean, ultimately my opinion is to eat beef, and preferably from cows that are as close to nature as possible (ie they eat tall deep-rooted grass and have space and thus don’t usually need antibacterial medicine because they are healthy).

I don’t like to conflict with real scientists, but more than a decade ago I began researching nutrition and experimenting on myself. Many bitcoiners find nutrition, but I found nutrition and then found bitcoin, which is the less profitable direction.

I am not a doctor or a nutritionist. Most doctors and nutritionists are shitty at nutrition, but nonetheless I am not one of them.

I am, however, an athlete and engineer. I began to notice my performance issues with industrial carbs and seed oils, and began removing them. Huge health boost, and I felt so much better. This was after reading many studies.

I then did personal blood tests. I logged my food, pricked my finger and tested my glucose each day, pricked my finger and tested my ketones each day, for science, etc. I felt good and performed well under ketosis, subject to certain athletic details depending on the sport.

Ultimately I practiced seasonal ketosis. Seasons of normal health-conscious food. Seasons where I go more hardcore on ketosis for health.

My main view is that low carb eating is good, grass-fed ground beef is particularly good and cheap, etc. Eat while foods and minimize toxins. I am happy to debate nutritionists or whoever on this, it isn’t my expertise, but imo a pre-qualifier to such a debate is that they need to have visible abs. I have no tolerance toward the opinion of a flabby university nutritionist.

Anyway, good evening.

got two channels force closed on mutiny, who do I blame for that?

One day you're gonna wake up and look in the mirror and think you yourself, what the fuck happened. Where did all the gay hair come from?

you walk into a bar and three guys are looking at you like this. what do you do?

Lots of #carnivore people here on #Nostr so I have a game for you:

How much did we pay for this #steak at a fancy restaurant in Mendoza, #Argentina?

Closest guess wins 1/100th of its price in #sats. One guess per person only.

PS: Yes, it was freaking delicious.

Rejected because we “don’t have an EULA”. This is of course false 🙄. Welcome to another edition of appstore review nostr:note1c6q5f3980yms4zj3eg52df4l90zx30t8s7dkwp5sgp0p8annhwmq078e0g

working on a microapp that makes nostr more dangerous

I believe in very few conspiracies. Mostly because ineptitude and poor incentives do a sufficiently good job of explaining pretty much everything shitty in the world.
