I think sometimes audience capture makes people create their our own psyops organically without any top-down influence even trying because the engagement market pushes content towards it. Youtube and social media pay people for being absolutely sure of things they are absolutely not sure of. Fear and wanting control over the future make creators lie to audiences without creators even knowing they are lying. Audiences will watch it KNOWING ITS BULLSHIT, just to feel that there is one more thing they can be sure of. Which of course only doubles the number of things on either side of the "data" to be unsure of and the hamster wheel continues to spin. Sorry for the rant but I think its interesting. I've definitely cut down on my consumption of bullshit recently after being the victim of my own self-psyoping for too long listening to these people, so its top of mind. This is why the term retardmaxxing exists.

So sick

You wont need a draft when your kids are psyoped into thinking war is awesome. That's what you actually need to worry about. You need to show them lovingly and with good reasoning that they are being lied to by evil cunts. Also provide aesthetically compelling alternatives to seal team six or Delta being badass. I nearly ruined my life believing that bullshit. You have a duty to fight it and save your kids.

Yeah he's a real man of the people. I'm hoping the Lazarus group get a keynote next year.

Great pod. I've heard it argued that "collaborative institutional multisig" is best for proof of reserves because not only can you verify reserves but it can give some assurance that the funds won't be messed with by the company in the future. The Onramp guys explain it better than I can but I think they have interesting points on this. PS- "Bitcoin is for individuals" is a powerful heuristic for helping understand how institutions deal with bitcoin. Thanks for that.

Michael Saylor. The bitcoin maxi that wants you and your descendants to use fiat currency forever. He also promotes solana yield bullshit and crypto tokenization on twitter and in talks. Not a fan personally but everyone's got a different opinion and its all good.

At least half of what evil wants is to keep good people like you down and have them lose faith. Don't let the bastards get you down brother.

You should see his Solana bags.

I lost all hope in understanding this at "quirkless"

"It was curious how that beetle-like type proliferated in the Ministries: little dumpy men, growing stout very early in life, with short legs, swift scuttling movements, and fat inscrutable faces with very small eyes. It was the type that seemed to flourish best under the dominion of the Party.”

Well said. Jiang's also not a professor. He's a teacher at a highschool ironically named Moonshot Academy, apparently. HFSP, Jiang.

"Sponsored by Mara" absolutely killed me. You can't make it up.

Nice I like this.

He will come around when he gets a $70 ticket in the mail after idling for 30 seconds in a no parking zone picking up his wife from work.

Cuba better start getting ready. The next 20 years are going to fly by.

Calmly saying you are outraged and providing a prepared argument for why the cameras will lead to something much worse than crime is probably the way I would go. Being calm and angry at the same time shows you respect them and are doing it not because you are angry, but because you care about your town. Also I think stating your stake in the town and what you do would help lend yourself credibility. But I'm not sure man. You got this.

For my EMF haters and vibe coders out there: What about an app/widget that uses the accidental touch protection sensor in order to put your phone onto airplane mode whenever it goes in your pocket and then turn it off again when you take it out? You know, so you don't fry your gametes and colon with EMFs?

So many people commenting on nostr are fucking insane. They're probably just Canadian and can't get your wine.
