Well, I guess Mel needs to present evidence of his 3 friends’ cure protocol and its results anonymously right here on Nostr, making Nostr what Reddit could have been. Publish the final report on the bitcoin blockchain maybe. Who can help him if not us? What if it’s true, Pascal?
Corrupt the incentives, corrupt the world. Fix the incentives, fix the world.
Perhaps we need an alternative evidence-gathering body (like the academy only decentralized and verifiable) which would be able to offer certification services to visionaries and theorists like Mel and Alex Jones and Joe Rogan.
A kind of evidence-based and uncensorable community notes with the ability to offer grants/bounties and logistic support for the research, composition, and publication of anonymous but evidence-supported hypotheses.
A Wikipedia + Wikileaks.
Start with cancer but don’t forget about the aliens. What could be a better use of the scientific method + the hash function?

“There’s a very low probability I would have understood bitcoin early without being an American libertarian.”
Is this because an Irish Libertarian would have been too blinded by nationalist fervor to see that Bitcoin fixes the dilemma of identifying as a territory? Or is there something else about the American libertarian experience that you think has opened your eyes to the multiple paradigm shifts bitcoin offers?

I guess I assumed your algo profile selection (like a car seat preset) would follow the wallet/key pair. Thus, a wallet would be tethered to one’s data and to one’s preferred data presentation queue.

Without shame we could not have organized and become a social animal.
Fire and hunting may have brought us together but shame was probably the first natural law.
Don’t murder your neighbor or fuck your kids if you want to belong to the tribe.
However, parents, kings and churches weaponized shame to accumulate power by creating cross generational hierarchies.
The CIA, etc. knows this human truth and uses shame to weaponize liberal tolerance to mean censorship and child fucking. A destabilized and enraged population is easier to distract from the global pillaging of value by fiat.
I hope Bitcoin (and Elon) are not just controlled opposition. Then again, maybe, in some beautiful and vulnerable human ways, we’re all just controlled opposition after Kennedy was shot.

Is that too much to ask for?
Post-fiat everything: money, governance, education, identity, and anything that depends on an appeal to authority. Rationality is better than reacting because it requires proof of reason which only works when there is consensus.

Thank you but I’m lost in the drunken weeds. My badges screen doesn’t show me these options and I haven’t set up my bunker yet so I can’t seem to log in to badges page because I’m not sure if the extension option is browser or app based. This is exciting tho, NFTs but for the plebs and not just the degens. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

But does such a pay to play scheme require a non scarcity economy? How do we transition to there? UBI?
Must people suffer to learn they can opt out of inflationary economics just as war has been the only for us to learn to value other peoples’ right to property?

Lack of knowledge is power.
Why? Because it begs the question: what’s the difference between right and true information and misinformation and how has that difference been derived and how has that derivation path been verified and by whom and with appeal to what authority.

Utopia may not be in the cards but I don’t see why, with provably honest money, a governance market could not evolve where people can go where they are treated better.

You suggested btc possesses the quality of being anarchic and I am suggesting that btc goes beyond theory to actually being an instantiation of anarchy (unalienable private property).
Bitcoin is a noun (decentralized network ledger) AND a verb (an agent of change).
I’m reading Snow Crash which does a good job of explaining “the performative speech act” through characters and plot development. Hope these leads help clarify this rather nuanced connection between being, saying as an act of doing, and code.

2024-10-23 01:50:49

I simply mean that Bitcoin is a verb, an action, a protocol, a performative speech act, as much as it is a mirror of a set of theories. I guess it’s not as simple as it feels intuitively.

Which ideology is not memetic? Ideas are viruses whose time comes and goes.
I agree that anarchism (questioning belonging (democracy) and representation (republic)) is NOT a voting block. It’s a set of ideas that lead people toward more conscious awareness.
But, relatively speaking, every idea is also an ideology because we are never fully awake to its ramifications.

I wonder how the faith paradigm relates to the proof of work paradigm (one that includes a more transparent and therefore more mentally healthy economic incentive system)? They seem at odds with each other since one requires no evidence while the other is a lattice or evidence.

but mobs will always form, like the various tribes that are hot at each other's necks currently. opting out of the new cult of personality is what gives the individual his meaning: without choice we are forced to belong, to forfeit new alliances with others and with different versions of ourselves, we are slaves.

this might be true if it were not for the individual's ability to choose to belong to a group or not: that we have forgotten that we have feet to exit a territory is a marker of how effectively we've been mind controlled
