Asceticism is an aesthetic of simplicity: a profound unity with nature, an awareness of one's inherent qualities, and the ability to harmoniously integrate into society.

just rename meta to x, that will be enough for people.

An adult can never fully immerse themselves in a child’s game unless they recognize its educational value for the child. The real question is, is the child themselves ready for this?

A sobering thought for a clearer view of the world:

“Every agent in the economy acts out of self-interest.”

This is not an indictment but a fundamental truth of human nature. Recognizing this fact is essential to understanding the dynamics of our interactions.

Imagine this: several participants are tasked with stretching a sheet so it remains perfectly flat. For the sheet to stay balanced, each individual must pull with equal force. Any imbalance distorts the symmetry, causing disarray. This simple exercise encapsulates the essence of all human relationships—harmony is achievable only when efforts are balanced.

However, equality of effort does not arise spontaneously. Each individual must continuously refine their abilities and strengthen their capacity. The strong must never weaken themselves to accommodate the weak—such a concession would betray their inherent potential and undermine the collective equilibrium. Instead, strength must be leveraged to uplift. The strong should share knowledge and resources, empowering others to grow—not by surrendering their own power but by expanding the collective capacity. Only through self-improvement and mutual empowerment can balance be sustained and harmony cultivated.

From this, a profound conclusion emerges: money is merely a symbolic construct—a placeholder for proportionality in human interactions. It represents the equivalence of efforts and resources invested in relationships and exchanges. Just as with the stretched sheet, balance is paramount to maintaining harmony. The author of Stranger in a Strange Land encapsulated this concept with precision:

“Money was an idea, as abstract as an Old-One’s thoughts—money was a great structured symbol for balancing and healing and growing closer.”

The infantilism of thought ceases at the moment when an individual begins to comprehend the totality of existence.

… [The pygmies possess a unique skill that no one else has mastered — they build suspension bridges out of vines to cross wide rivers. While narrow rivers can be waded through, crossing large ones is dangerous because of crocodiles. To solve this, the pygmies construct bridges using only vines and trees on either side of the river.

The process is incredibly risky. First, a vine is tied to a tree on one bank. A man grabs hold of the vine, and the group swings him back and forth until he gathers enough momentum to leap across the river and catch hold of a tree on the opposite side. If he misses, the vine snaps back, and he risks being slammed into the tree trunk, potentially fatally. Despite the danger, the pygmies are highly skilled at this task. Once the first vine is secure, additional vines are strung across until a sturdy hanging bridge is completed.

One day, an American filmmaker wanted to capture this incredible process on film. He approached a pygmy and offered a generous payment in exchange for building a bridge. However, the pygmy declined, saying:

“I don’t need anything from you. You already gave me a knife — I have the knife. You gave me a pot — I have the pot. You gave me a chisel — it’s very good, thank you. But I need nothing more. Why should I risk my life?”

The American tried to explain the concept of “spare” or “extra,” but the pygmy didn’t understand.

“Spare? What do you mean? I don’t understand your words, foolish white man.”

Eventually, the filmmaker discovered that the pygmy wanted to get married but needed a bride price to do so. Among the pygmies, women are highly valued, and marriage requires both payment and effort to win a bride. The American promised to pay the bride price if the pygmy would build the bridge. The man agreed, completed the bridge, and earned his wife.

This story illustrates that concepts like “savings” or “future planning” are foreign to the pygmies. They live entirely in the present, unconcerned with the past before their own birth or with what lies ahead. Their way of life is sustained by a symbiotic relationship with the neighboring Bantu people, allowing them to thrive in their traditional environment without losing their unique cultural identity.]

we can hardly give loans in bitcoins to poor countries, we need securities again. look at the example of Argentina, they pledged their gold to get cash to restore the economy. and this is the most superficial example, because the lending structures are very complex, we have different obligations, insurance, intermediaries and other guarantees. it is very beautiful to compare bitcoin with gold and say that the problem of gold is its fragmentation and storage, and digital will easily solve this, but the economy is a process of human relationships, and they are quite complex in nature.

it is also important to understand that forms of credit have always existed, and they are what drove the economy. the simplest example is tax collectors helping the roman authorities collect taxes from the provinces, this is the same form of credit, helping not to fleece people, but to create regular payment systems for them and thus contribute to their development.

and returning to gold, I think that gold went out of circulation precisely because it slowed down development. man is stingy by nature. poverty is often a problem of the intellect and psyche. In literature we often come across stories about people who died of poverty, but with a piece of gold in their hand, afraid to part with it, they went to die of hunger. therefore, an element of cheap money is necessary as a destroyer of the psychological barrier of human behavior. especially for poor countries.

over time, humanity will come to the harmonization of monetary relations, but it will not be one bitcoin, it will be a set of networks. and I believe that the ultimate goal is a digital platform of the sharing economy, so we should already have in mind the architecture of this future system.

the modern economy is built on a credit system, not on savings, so the most important thing for a country is its technological growth, which forms reserves and credit status. in the same way, for an individual, his technological skills give him social growth and an advantage over others who live on savings.

why, it seems logical to me, to create a reserve of bitcoins in order to continue printing banknotes for it. based on this, bitcoin justifies its deflationary model, and everyone who managed to get bitcoins at the right moment, happily live out their days, watching their account grow. what confuses me most in this whole story is the distribution element, which again flowed in the same direction in which humanity has always been "bent".

there is a speculative news about russia. it was a routine proposal by one of the deputies, and it was not even submitted to the council for consideration.

… our generation has come into this world to build networks. Participation must be direct, not indirect. It is unacceptable for a modern individual to remain ignorant of how to use a terminal. Validator nodes must exist in every home, supporting networks that individuals deem necessary to uphold. Everyone should have the ability to configure filters for passing information and transactions, thereby expressing their stance on the activities occurring within the network. This is how we will establish hygiene. This is how we will align interests while preserving cultural diversity. This is how we will decentralize our world.

given that we are in the time dimension, all our computations are linear. in all competent science fiction novels, if quantum computing technologies figure into the narrative, they take place outside our dimension.

We often think in terms of ÂŤwhat we desireÂť without paying attention to ÂŤwhat the world needsÂť.

Very often, we approach life as if it were a training exercise, attempting to master it, if not immediately, then through subsequent attempts. However, life is an entirely structured and harmonious system, filled with grace and elegance. All we need to do is to merge with it, to set aside our egocentrism and narrow perceptions, and to become a part of this magnificent system..

many of us have encountered acquaintances who dazzled those around them with their charisma, extravagant parties, and remarkable tales of business success. Yet, over time, it often becomes apparent that these individuals were actively borrowing money from our circle and are now facing bankruptcy.. 🏈
