mate sometimes you say stuff that makes me think we run parallel lives.
This is my experience.
You go out and make a bit of money or whatever, and then someone in your life is struggling. You're their friend, and they say they arent happy, they have an obstacle in their life stopping them from getting on. There are 2 types of people.
The first uses your help and because they truly wanted what they said.
The second, was using the obstacle as a excuse to avoid achieving their potential, and now its awkward b/c you've called their bluff by believing in them more than they believed in themselves, and they're scared. Too guilty or ashamed to say, they let you down, ghost you etc.
Of course we're ultimately responsible. I would now, no sooner help someone who is not ready to evolve, than I would give a child an axe and a chainsaw because they want to be a fireman when they grow up.
Time preference can resolve ethics.
If it is a sin to be wasteful, or to hoard. But it is good to save... when does saving become hoarding?
Perhaps when the act of foregoing consumption, leads to a shorter time preference outcome than to sensibly spend, for instance to avoid a medical procedure to save the money at the cost of your health.
Well, Hoppe introduces the argumentation axiom and deduces a praxeological ethic, from which you could make such claims.
But even Hoppe would differentiate this from economics proper.

interesting. I think they just felt at some point to go as far as i am trying would be to depart from their core discipline.
...otherwise, and if you are to abdicate morality from economic decisions, even if you're able to prove that decisions along different time preferences have consistent outcomes - the question becomes why is a long life better than a short one.
Our laws (old law) seems to preserve the same thing as the correct allocation of capital.
And as euclid taught us in his first axiom, things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other. And so if economics and ethics are both equal to long time preference - then they are equal to and complimentary each other.
yes, well they certainly stop one short of what I belive, but I suspect were the point posed to them, they mightn't disagree.
I have little doubt that time preference to the long term is a moral good. And to that degree, ethics and economics can be overlapping and non-contradictory.
Ethics and time preference are linked. No-one is making the link.
On the one hand, we have satan's statement above the doors of Dante's hell, explaining that before sin, nothing existed but the eternal.
Which is say, before sin - time did not exist. Time is our burden for being sinful.
And then we learn from austrian economics that long term decisions are preferable to short term ones. Dont eat a ready meal - grow a food garden, etc.
To the degree our decisions are indifferent to time, I believe we become godly. That is why ethics as a subject, search for rules to confirm to absolute truth.
We become God, when we act without preference to time.
Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while.
And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the pumps, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM?!
do you have a ranch to go with that hat??? ;)
Even the rappers have had enough. Hiphop's having its Weinstein moment.
She's back with a banger!
talk is cheap. So if you're ahead of the curve from your sofa, apply it somewhere it can be proven.
On comedy, you're a great gardener.
On Bitcoin, see above.
nah mate, the predicted value to me is zero and you're not getting what you want, so it's throw a wobbler and get mean.
I've had fun, but if I don't wipe soon, it'll go dry.
That's me mate - lazy! 🤣 🤣 🤣
You're so insightful from so far away! I should listen to you more.
yeh you can rattle that tin somewhere else, zero interest. Just wish you'd take this amazing mind and apply it further than the flowerbeds! All these stupid people in Bitcoin, must be tough to watch from the peanut gallery 🤣
reeeeeeeel him in 🎣 🎣 🎣 🤣
lighten up dude. I thought you were a stoner!
astrology for men.
needs some low probability BIPs to work properly though right? Or is that unfair?
we need the tortured-genius-gardeners to step up then and run things the way they knew would work...
absolutely coming. Bitcoin and its users are anti fragile.
Mixing, even if it never returns, made Bitcoin better money in its early life. Later adoption may need L2, NOSTR or other forms of privacy, and there's zero chance it won't be delivered in the near-ish term.
im not interested buddy, rattle the cup somewhere else.
If there's not a nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl stand at the conference - stay home.

It's more than just a conference. It's a place where your bitcoin story evolves. 🚀
not if nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl arent welcome.
Not paying those prices if the best projects are omited in place of shittier projects with VC money to throw away.
The masculine urge to mix all coins now we know that's what our ideological enemies are most afraid of...
Unruggable privacy. Now.
Nothing is more important. Nothing.
gotta get the corn into privacy levels approaching fiat cash or it undermines the value enough to be concerned.
Dunno what the solution is, maybe L2, maybe a BIP, but it's gotta get fixed. Bigger problem than mining centralisation or governance bottlenecks b/c this makes Bitcoin unusable for certain uses cases right now.
Mix the Money, fix the world
China is the sole producer of fentanyl.
It ships raw product to mexico where it is processed and pumped into the USA
One of hundreds of acts of war committed by China over the last 10 years.
Wuhan disease (CCP did not use mRNA on its own slaves)
Organ harvesting
Expansion in their region
Infiltration and total capture of western academia inc theft of technology to military use
Many many more.
One plane crash in the US, per day, of drug deaths.
China (CCP) is an aggressive cancer.
Glad the 58k gang are getting some more time in the sunshine!
I'm going to be the dullard, and point out it's not cool to gloat over DoJ arrests, even if the dude in question is a proper throbber.
