No one else ever wants to admit that they don't know how to read.

We’d like to introduce ourselves to this community!

We are Acme Acres located in North Idaho. We raise Grass fed/Grass finished BEEF 🥩 that is hormone, antibiotic, vaccines, pesticide free out on pasture where nature intended them to be. We also have pasture raised PORK 🐷 , LAMB 🐑 and CHICKEN 🐓 as well. We are farm to table, and offer free delivery and of course payments of bitcoin, silver and gold are accepted!

⚡️🚨🇺🇸 SUMMARY - All three crypto bills just passed the House and the GENIUS Act is now headed to Trump desk to become the first major piece of crypto legislation signed into law.

Despite the last few days of drama and uncertainty, Democrats and Republicans really showed up, voting in a much more bipartisan fashion than almost anyone expected.

Let’s recap:

📌 The CLARITY Act passed in a vote of 294-134 with 78 Democrats voting in favor — more than double the ~35 expected, and more than the 71 who voted to pass FIT21 last year.

📌 The GENIUS Act passed in a vote of 308-122 with 102 Democrats voting in favor.

📌 The Anti-CBDC Act passed in a vote of 219-210 with 2 Democrats voting in favor.

The signing ceremony for the GENIUS Act is set for tomorrow afternoon at the White House.

Why do some people (few) see it while others don’t see it? I debt get it? It’s crystal clear. Something I just don’t understand.

Orange-pilling someone is like performing bloodless brain surgery while the person is awake. You have to reach in and adjust paradigms they've believed in for decades, remove false beliefs they cling to, and kill sacred cows they will fight to defend even though they don't even know why they are defending them.

It's a lot like trying to get someone who's been vegan for decades to try a carnivore diet. The best strategy I've found is to just say, "try it for 90 days". This bypasses all of the philosophy, religion & false-beliefs, and trusts the underlying physiology and biochemistry.

I wonder if a similar strategy for orange-pilling new people would be as follows:

When someone asks any type of question about BTC, answer with, "Let me see your phone." Then quickly download/set up Strike, and buy them $5 worth of BTC. Then calmly hand back the phone and say, "You now own some BTC, you should learn more about it!"

Then stoically walk away...

Thoughts?

Part of me wants to check the fuck out of all the chaos and just opt for the simple life, but then I think being asleep at the wheel was how we got into this mess in the first place.

Nostr seems to be a happy middle ground between these thoughts.

Sometimes I try to Zap somebody and it says they can't be zapped, what's up with that?

One of the crazy things about AI and robotics is that in the year 2025, most people still don't use Roombas or other robotic vacuum cleaners.

They're useful in many contexts, but they're not clearly better across most metrics than a human with a vacuum cleaner yet. They've been out for a very long time, gradually improving. And that's one *very specific* task with pretty clear visualization requirements and floor mobility requirements and pretty low safety thresholds with high repetition levels, and yet that market isn't dominated by robotics yet.

That's an example of why I continue to view white collar computer-work AI as being *way* ahead of in-the-field blue collar robotic AI in terms of competing with human jobs.

The moment where it's a joke to buy a human-powered vacuum instead of a robot vacuum, rather than a debatable trade-off, is kind of the canary in the coal mine moment for consumer robotics. We can't even nail that yet, but once we do, it's kind of a floodgate moment, considering how long that task has been in the works for, and it will probably quickly expand to other areas following that moment.

That's kind of my basic test for robot hype. Yes, they're getting better and better. Yes, they do backflips now. Yes, it's a big deal. But in-the-field blue collar skilled work is a really high bar, and we haven't fully cleared the "vacuum carpeted areas of the same house floor area over and over" stage of that yet.

Everything is kind of hype until that stage is fully breached. Then it's off to the races.

What's your view of that heuristic?
