Somewhat counterintuitively:

Make the mighty righteous, not the righteous mighty.

I love it when I omit whole words from my sentences.

Learn to dress well.

Historically I have not dressed well. However, I've started to make an effort recently as I've slowly transformed into father as I have aged.

Hello.

I am never selling.

Even if bitcoin becomes the standard. I just won't use it and be poor instead.

Poordom is the only end state I will accept.

This is fun. Watch videos without the audio on and try to interpret what the video is about just from the visuals.

Got the day off because I was conscripted into doing an audit on the onsite support team. Got there and found out that we couldn't set up because of a miscommunication about time.

I have to go back tomorrow, though.

Bitcoiners are like the Alpha Legion in 40k.

For the unintiated this is a group of space marines who have a leader called a primarch (hard to explain, but a primarch is basically a demigod). This guy's name is Alpharius.

The Alpha legion's specialty is subterfuge. To make sure no one knows who they are, any time you meet a Alpha Legion member and ask who they are they will reply with: "I am Alpharius"

Satoshi Nakamoto is this demigod like figure in the Bitcoiner canon.

No one knows who he is, People claim to be him all the time, etc.

Anyways, what I am bascially trying to say is:

I am Satoshi Nakamoto.

Is there a better high than solving problems?

For the sake of the binary choice given: Collectivization.

Before the internet it was extremely hard to have a niche hobby and find kindred spirits who have the same interests.

Instead you would all watched sports ball, which you may have cared about, but not as much as you cared about painting Warhammer figurines.

Now it's easy to find people who are into Warhammer figurines as much as you. Now you don't really need sports ball to find your people.

The collectives are much smaller (we live in the most atomized time, ever, in history). The bonds you have with your collective are also much stronger, because niching down requires a certain amount of fervor to truly enjoy.

Not my idea really, so h/t Michael Malice who posited the foundation of above.

I haven't really watched much docuseries, so I'm useless there. However, recent movies:

- Dune

- The Beekeeper (it's dumb, but fun)

- Tango & Cash (very dumb, but fun)

- Napolean Dynamite

- The Sting (old movie, but good)

- Along Came A Spider

In my experience highly intelligent people are pretty stupid. Granted they're stupid in a different way, but stupid nonetheless.

Here is one of my favorite quotes related to this:

"Is it easier to train a smart dog, or a dumb one?"

(h/t Michale Malice)
