Most of us are here because we currently treasure scarcity more than abundance. Subtraction > addition

I think a big obstacle to a breakthrough for #value4value is a lack of transparency on what has been paid already.

If I’m a rational actor, I want to make sure I give to those causes that are most underfunded, not to those asking the best or the loudest but it’s hard for me to know which those are.

I’m sure @dergigi and others have thought deeply about this. If you have, please share your perspectives/potential solutions. nostr:note1u4d8kyrkgmag64zmqy0p63dhaeumpqlndrk4qw2p2r9t67czfaes7l2ksm

It’s a self-defeating Fiat mindset coupled with the Silicon Valley quantified self movement.

I don’t doubt that he’s actually hitting all these metrics. The issue is that the human body is much more complex than his simplistic 60 metrics. And usually when you

If something looks too good to be true, it usually is. Like that ridiculous mRNA vaccine.

Bryan Johnson is a Fiat phenomenon if I’ve ever seen one.

Measuring everything about your health and becoming as obsessed about all these markers as he is, is the antithesis of a healthy human life.

Pura Vida Nostriches! Have a great day!
