Been thinking about Tether's role in directing government and monetary policy. As Lysander Spooner pointed out, he who has the gold, or in this millennium, the bitcoin, to finance the government, writes the rules, until the people cease to be statist and demand voluntary systems, in which case the Natural Law becomes manifest and explicit and those with the bitcoin have to answer to the peoples natural rights. Until then, we may see a vast change in government policy, the direction I cannot foresee.

So basically, you gotta be really disciplined in your intellectual models and, ideally, really, radically open to criticism. Being a Bitcoiner against central banks is a pretty good sign of that!

Completely agree. A lot of movements or corporations set up for the advancement of solutions to real problems, as well as the people in them, end up turning into an institution predicated on complaining about the problem and usurping sympathy, and profiting only from that rather than from results. Charities, revolutionary movements, and libertarian leaning political parties often follow this arc.
Many grassroots intellectual figures who start with some great insight that has great results, like that personal development stuff, end up in a state of arrested development and uselessness, except as a Schelling point for further intellectual discussion and the marketplace of ideas. Whether and to what degree their followers or casual listeners progress beyond them becomes the primary determinant of progress. Not all intellectuals follow such an arc into stagnation or, worse, derangement, but it is very common due to the way most people are not willing to put an idea to the test before believing it.

I only ever took a high school level chemistry class, and I didn't take it in high school but at college. I never found chemistry to be anywhere near as interesting as physics, and most of what I know comes from reading Wikipedia articles. That's all you need really. I don't care about memorizing stuff, never did, unless it was really really useful to remember.

GM! I stopped watching Peterson last year. He's so arrogant sometimes, and he never tries to learn about economics or individualist anarchism, even though they are extremely relevant to his position of influence and the topics he covers. I feel like he conveniently forgot about everything that Michael Malice taught him about anarchy last year. And his recent work just doesn't have that much to offer me.

Imannuel Kant failed to understand either logic or the fact that values are multidimensional and hierarchical, because he failed to realize that you can avoid hurting people by merely constraining your actions and desires to nonaggression, and then desiring whatever. He failed to understand that intentions toward ends that are not simply human happiness do not necessarily conflict with that human happiness, and to believe that the knowledge burden of knowing how to create human happiness falls upon every man at all times is, well, an interesting thought experiment but not a sufficient general solution to the problem of finding an objective morality.

Free association, choosing to boot out people who sin or who you can't stand, from your legitimate property or via a legitimate contract that lets you act to do this, is compatible with the tolerance that Jesus taught. It is a form of discrimination that still respects the person you are booting out as a person. Do not let goblins twist your compassion against you. Do not hate the person with goblins in his brain either. Just do what needs to be done, without violating the Natural Law.

I always figured the government probably wasn't hiding aliens and now I figure it's probably part of a psyop. So I've always thought they were probably unaware of aliens. But it's reasonable to figure, from another perspective, that the very fact that they say something increases the **probability** that that thing was bullshit even though it doesn't cause it to be bullshit. Probability is always subjective.

And we all have different tastes. Why lie? Not that makeup is necessarily a lie... it's a form of self expression, but that's just it. You must be honest about expressing what you want to express. Do whatever makes you happy. Don't think it's necessary for men's taste. We don't have a single taste. We're all unique. I would argue that most of the pressure on women to conform to a certain standard is coming from women, and most men actually prefer a natural, albeit healthy, look. There's good reason for that. But there's a lot of nuance, a lot of variation. May as well play with your look to make it exactly the way YOU want to look (taking into consideration as much or as little as you want of what the kind of man you want to attract would prefer), or else just leave your face a blank canvas so that it's easy AF and still likely attracts some men. You are not forced to look any which way. That's my opinion anyway. Nobody has to follow it, but I would think it's liberating understanding the nuance so that you can just say "fuck it, ima do what I want in this world" with greater success.

I wonder how an insurance agency could possibly be instantiated on such a platform, or if that is something better left to other realms. It looks like arbiters are serving a very direct escrow and insurance role in this scheme, but I think another good input to this might be a betting market wherein the future reputation, price, or profitability of the arbiter himself relative to others may be a subject of speculation and bets may be made on this account. This way you may hedge your bet on an unproven arbiter by placing a small bet against your own judgement, and you can also use the price of these bets as a more accurate and precise measure of the consensus on reputation.

Anarchists need to learn tactics from Lysander Spooner as I highlighted earlier today, and also from Goblin Slayer, great anime. Everything that Goblin Slayer says about goblins also applies to statist knaves that wish to steal from you and enslave you. He describes perfectly throughout the show how they function. "Goblins aren't completely stupid. They can be cunning, but they don't consider consequences." They have an extremely high time preference. The worst aspects of humanity are symbolized by the goblins. With effective protection and methods of nonviolent, proportional physical removal, one can keep out the goblins. Otherwise they will form a nest and start to steal your property, attack your people, and destroy your village.

I try to be, and I try to hang out only with people who are.

I don't think they're irredeemable, it's just that they usually are not worth the effort. I still try to learn and grow all the time and see what I did not previously see.

2025-04-08 16:48:41

GM! Only goblins or cowards react harshly to criticism. And I do not associate with those kinds of people. If you're a statist and I associate with you, it's because you've been more or less duped by the state, and you have an open mind, a love for self improvement, and many other great qualities I see in you.

GM! I'm like super proud of this interpretation lol! This is some of Jesus's lessons as I understand them.
#nevent1q…7zcj

2025-04-05 17:16:38

## The gospel according to nostr
This goofy thing is my interpretation of some of the things Jesus said that are often quoted but frequently, in my view, misunderstood. I took the liberty of translating it into nostridge. All my original work, no LLMs
----
And Jesus spake a lesson of His own before those that were teaching:
If your brother sins, criticize him, tell him GFY. But if he repent, PV him.
He is still worthy of a follow or a zap if people so choose.
I simply ask that all men GFY unto others in the manner in which they would have others GFY to them.
----
And Lazarus said, So is being wealthy a crime?!
And Jesus replied, No, not at all. What I say is that where man's mind is, that is generally where his wealth is. Look Laz, my home, when one's mind is beholden to falsehoods, false idols, or pursuits unworthy of his life, he and his wealth are in service of falsehood, which undermines alignment with truth every step of the way. One cannot serve two masters. Be aware that some of what you treasure, in general, might really just be a shitcoin leading you astray from Truth and from righteousness. One must verify.
In short, a wealthy man can be righteous, but only in service to Truth. True wealth consists of living the Pura Vida.
And Lazarus said, How does one live the Pura Vida? 🤔
And Jesus said, Let me put it this way: a rich man traveling on a camel, with bags loaded up of riches, comes to that tiny gate of Jerusalem, you know the one, the Eye of the Needle. Can he pass straight on through to the other side, bags clinging to his side and everything?
No. GFY. He has to take everything off and squeeze in one by one in single file with the camel. Some of his baggage might not fit through at all. So too, some of your assumptions and some of the treasures you cling to will not come with you in service of Truth, and you must unload your assumptions, question them, lest you never enter that realm. On the other side, you may find some of the bags remain with you, and you are indeed wealthy for it. But most of all you are wealthy for being in the most profound state of all: harmony with Truth. That is the Pura Vida. 🤙
Now, had our rich man assessed his baggage more properly before setting out to Jerusalem, he might have saved himself the trouble of some of the work, and he would likely have discovered that some of his riches were counterfeits, some were better left at home, and some he no longer wanted, as they were now shitcoins to him. But even if he had done the work of checking his baggage beforehand, his own measures and estimates may have been wrong, and he would still have to do the final test of going through the Eye of the Needle. He would have to verify.
So too should a man often let go of his baggage, his assumptions, in accordance with Truth. Don't trust, verify. ✌️🧡

That's really cool! It's great that little pockets of stuff like that can survive by the efforts of a few people who care and are able.
While I have strong opinions on stuff, I am simultaneously aware of the unseen utility of things I don't understand to other people, and indirectly also to me. It's one of the reasons I got into learning economics and libertarian legal theory, my awareness of the beautiful complexity and coordination of stuff outside myself and my refusal to destroy or dictate that which I don't understand. I know nothing of Czech and yet people like yourself are able to preserve it, and I even actively hate French culture, and yet it is an input into many creations I love such as various wines and cheeses, the movie Ratatouille, and all of Draft Punk's music. So I benefit from my inability to unilaterally extinguish their crap language from the face of the earth. It's quite beautiful and humbling, and lends creedence to my form of anarchism (he said, egotistically).

2025-03-22 22:57:19

Yeah there are tradeoffs. You see so much stuff that just makes sense that Westerners are too insane or stupid to think of, but Japanese people are insane in their own ways, falling for fallacies and stupid shit that westerners would never fall for. It takes a special kind of person to deduce or draw from the best of each cultural thread, and discard the crap.
I'm trying to think of some good examples.
Let's see... Japanese doesn't require singular vs. plural, using instead optional numbers to specify how many. Easier to work with on that front, while maintaining the ability to specify. Nor must you specify a gender when talking about people: in fact pronouns are virtually not even a thing, you just use normal ass nouns and identifiers, like say "konohito" ("this person") or just using their name, which you usually will do if it's not obvious who you're talking about. Many aspects of Japanese are aspects that lend themselves to simplicity and composability of the language.
Japanese culture and therefore language is also, however, wayyyy too hung up on niceness, subservience to others, protocol, etc. You have to be extremely careful how you craft sentences and whether what you're saying will be taken the right way, even if you're not the type to do it, because the very meaning of things is often tied into connotation and reading between the lines. "A little" is usually what is used to say "no" to an invitation, in order to be polite. For "Would you like to come with me to the movies?", "Chotto" ("a little bit") would be taken as a polite no, whereas "iie" ("no") would easily be taken by at least some individuals as "hell no!" I consider this decidedly illogical and a major detriment.
Tradeoffs.

So like, just to be extra clear, this is not to undermine your original point at all. I just like to decouple correlations to reveal the nuance underlying them. Wisdom and intelligence may be correlated, but this is nowhere near a universally applicable thing, especially as observed in midwits who are generally smart enough to convince themselves of bullshit, and the revelation that the smarter you get, the better you are at this, generally. Other influences start to become pretty major past the hump in the bell and that's where the tendency to become aware of biases, limitations, and proper thinking is enough to, on average, effectively counteract the ability to fool oneself
So really, you're exactly right about the general tendency. I just also find it extremely important to highlight that curious, open minded people, and people who take the time to think through the implications of their own uncertainty, exist all over the IQ curve, and those too can achieve self awareness or excellence.

2025-03-20 20:55:15

Awareness of one's limitations, especially grasping the need to maintain uncertainty, is the beginning of wisdom. I think all IQ levels can do this, but the higher ones do seem to learn this a bit sooner on average. A huge proportion of them just never do though.

If you trade with someone using bitcoin before they even have bitcoin, you are still increasing that person's wealth and ability to create with other people, and that increases the overall wealth which increases the tax/inflation base. So avoiding supporting criminals, you can sometimes do that directly, but you cannot do it for many many multiple steps.
What is needed for criminals then is a targeted system of identification and discrimination, and competitive networks of insurance agencies that can compel those individuals to pay for their crimes according to some due process standards and to industry best practices that will have developed. Your use of bitcoin, for hodling or for trade, will be benefiting governments and central banks indirectly. It will also be benefiting the people and institutions fighting against them. With your bitcoin, you can choose who to support more though.
