Turned off zaps to save your last bollock I see.

Nolita's Fiat Cafe was a hard pass.

not normally a charti boy but it would be a shame if eth BTC were to break down below .05

Periodic reminder there is no climate crisis, and humans are safer than ever before from the climate thanks to fossil fuels 🔥🛢️🚜

Sigh

Sometimes that best way to find the answer is to sit in silence and meditate.

What if this was the average (again)?

I agree. My concern is that things are changing too fast for new institutions to help us. Building new institutions takes time and building trust in those institutions takes even longer.

However, it is possible that in the age of instant communication an institution could go through that process much quicker.

Good night my left curve maxis ✌️🧡

No disagreement here, but they aren't my concern.

10 years ago no one with either platform access or in the centralized halls of power cared enough about #China to even have an opinion. Today, those people have decided that China needs to be at the center of the conversation. Still, they know as little about the subject today as they did 10 years ago.

I need to vent for a second. When did everyone become a “China expert”? I’ve been living in China for 30 years and the only lesson I’ve learned is that, as a foreigner, you will never really know China. You’ll gain some insights, sure, but you ultimately reach a point where you accept that it is all beyond a true, deep understanding.

And yet, there are hot takes everywhere all pretty much with the goal of engagement farming. Normally this wouldn’t bother me one iota. I’ve seen it all before. Today, however, these hot takes all center on confrontation. “China is the enemy and must be treated as such.” China isn’t the enemy, it is just a vastly different culture and governance system. By all means, go ahead and disagree and have your system outcompete that of the Chinese. Just don’t fall into the narrative trap of this being “us versus them”.

And for the love of all that is Holy, take with the largest grain of salt anyone weighing in on the China subject.

Very much the reason we're on Nostr. I wonder though was this every in doubt, were it the opposite direction it would suggest the user would have to reach a little further for no net benefit. Obviously open to explanations as to why under rather than over might be optimal. Indeed perhaps it is possible to patent the alternative direction?
