Most bitcoiners I know IRL are smart enough to not talk about how much bitcoin they have.

What's your hypothesized relationship between "Claire Ostrom" and "Dathon Ohm"?
I want to understand the mindset behind someone who posts AI slop blogs.
Is there a financial benefit? Is it for some kind of clout, or to tell people you're doing something? Is it fully autonomous agents?
What motivates someone to post AI slop articles?
That's possible as well. But I'd wager that the permitting for mosques is outpacing the permitting for churches, even if both are growing (which I still somewhat doubt for the latter, on net at least).
Hmm, I was able to read it on my phone as a free article. But for some reason, I lost access and can't get it again. Oh well.
I did get to read the full article. Unfortunately, it spends most of its time saying that young men who engage in the manosphere, i.e. have negative views about feminism, distrust institutions, etc, are more likely to be invested in crypto because the manosphere influencers pump crypto investments and because they can't hold down steady jobs. It tries to present a neutral tone, but it strikes me as a "let's study these poor folks" article.
Nah, I don't think they will. Holders of tax sheltered retirement accounts also tend to have lots of political capital... they're unlikely to get shafted so easily. They'd sooner raid social security than people's 401ks

Another example might be bitcoin's culture: I feel like the more I get involved with in it, the more of a normie I become again. It’s that repulsive sometimes … haha
I get that. I just stick to my conviction that, "It would be good to have a money that is outside government control and can't be printed". Everything else about bitcoin culture is just noise. I just hope that the toxic bitcoin culture doesn't lead to unwise, damaging changes in the protocol
Why anyone would trust a 100 year projection based on a macro model in the first place is part of the problem
Going to Asia, the best strategy is to take a night flight, sleep on the flight, and when you land it's the morning.
Coming back is a bit harder. I've done the staying up all night before, but it wrecks me for at least a few days.
To be fair, I don't think the "corps are evil" crowd and the "vaccines are safe and effective" crowd have that much overlap. It only seems that way because the communist radicals and the wine-mom libs both vote democrat
As one remedy, some researchers recommend not trying to do so much in the first place. Noah Kaufman, a senior research scholar at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy who worked in the Biden White House, believes studying specific questions — like how to decarbonize while keeping electricity affordable — is more useful than projecting macroeconomic impacts decades down the road.
The problem: nuanced solutions don't sell as much in the press and amongst the political class compared to climate hysteria. And it's safe to say that the press and the politicians are among the economists' top consumers. How many careers have been built on stoking the climate hysteria flames?
Heh, being close to the ocean and nice weather is just what i tell myself to make myself feel better about having to live in Los Angeles
Scary. Do you think he did research on your public communications or something? Seems like a lot of work to target someone like that for a scam.
Garbage collection is one of the most complex and difficult tasks!
Do your critiques apply to your own church community, or do you think it applies more to those outside your community?
I still have not recovered from jet lag... it must be because I'm getting older... I used to recover much quicker...
