I just spent a couple of hours talking with people on discord on various projects. I'm deeply moved right now. Lots of people trying to claw their way up to a better life with crypto.
So let's build responsibly. Let's build to uplift as many of our fellow as possible. #WAGMI
Indeed, we will stand, we will fight, and we will defend this republic from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Most importantly, we will make America great again, and we will remain highly optimistic even as we meet relentless and overwhelming adversity.
Fight. Fight. Fight.

Principles to live by.
When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

1/n This is such a ridiculously bad take my friend!
1. Time preference is crucial: it's the foundation of all of economics. If someone wants to build a data center now and you interfere with that you have abridged their liberty and have undermined the integrity of the market.
"Atheist" is a fancy word used to describe those who haven't yet had the sublimely life-altering experience of attending a Holy Ghost-filled, gospel-singing, praise-activated black church boasting a proper choir that perfectly understands the assignment to a t.
Somebody testify!

1/n The fallacies committed here are staggering. Somebody needs to explain to Harari that the difference between humans and cows is that humans have general intelligence and we did invent bureaucratic processes. SI doomers have these absurd mental models of SI-human asymmetries!
beautiful explanation. this is 100% happening. teapaw.org/sotak/status/211179423…

*TAPPING THE SIGN*
Correlation is not causation!
State size does not cause deficits. As one trained in system dynamics would say: system goals cause deficits. A system aimed at giving free stuff without boosting productivity, that is the key, must indeed produce deficits.
Republics and democracies fall, inevitably, because they enable the masses to vote for benefits from the state.
The charade of "free" stuff pulls, slowly or swiftly, the state into fiscal insolvency. Debt grows faster than the economy, which is mathematically unsustainable.
This process can be slow, or fast, but always occurs.
The best imperfect solution is to keep states both small and decentralized. Small so that the masses have less incentive and capability to draw from it, and decentralized so that failures of a state are localized and minimized rather than global and catastrophic. A well-educated populace that understands the virtue of markets and views the state with utmost skepticism is very helpful, and just as rare.
America until the 1930's did a good job of this. Switzerland today arguably still does.
America and France, and most or all of the others, are headed to the same destination. Voting will not change the game theory of the system (remember how Trump was going to reduce the government and then grew it larger than Biden?).
European and US bond markets will collapse and then these protests will look like child's play.
There is nothing that can be done to prevent it, nothing stops this train, alea iacta est
Optimists should hope and work for the smallest states possible to rise from the ashes of the large ones.

3/n The day politicians realize that the best way to give out free stuff is to help foster efficient markets that systematically minimize marginal costs of production, that is the day politicians will effectively write themselves a blank check of goodwill they can cash eternally.

Starting now,
I will give $5 in the form of ethereum to anyone who can make a post about @CARDSMITHS_ Currency cards that gets 2000 views. Trial run. This will last for 5 days. No limit to the amount of times you get paid. No NSFW stuff. The post must solely be about Currency cards - can't just include the tag and make post about something totally irrelevant.
I was on board with everything, but that corporation argument is very iffy. US law sets a system of checks and balanaces: if you're mad that corporations can spend limitless money on candidates you don't like, then balance it out: start a corporation to fund candidates you like.
Remember this: I'm too much of a game theory nerd to ever attack first or be a bad faith actor. I know the payoffs of niceness and honesty are unmatched.
Also, I'm too much of a game theory nerd to know that I must go John Wick on ya if you're first to attack my people and I.

Every single mathematician I've interacted with who had a bad outlook on AI is inevitably at a loss for words when I ask "Could you explain what the Turing-Church thesis is really about?"
I could write a whole book about what this means for the state of mathematics and society.

It's been wild watching people in the field of mathematics over the past week.
I realized that people are in it for the wrong reasons: if you find meaning in a problem remaining unanswered, even for a single second longer than it needs to, you're not a true mathematician.

Rest in Peace, Hsin-Ju 💜
Heart breaking news.
Hsin-Ju made significant contributions to the growth of the global crypto developer network. I met her when she had just left Solana and went on to organise countless DeFi summits and hackathons at all the major global crypto conferences @DystopiaLabs. It was impressive just how incredibly connected she was and how sharp her knowledge of the space was.
She brought communities together and fostered collaborations that we have seen the fruits of today. May she be remembered as the quiet force behind the progress of the crypto industry.
How to cure anxiety in one loving step:
If you suffer from anxiety it simply means that you do not trust that you have what it takes and will do whatever it takes for any situation to be alright.
Practice trusting that you've got what it takes and watch anxiety go buh-bye!
