Career change. Went from freelance art into teaching.

I’m loving it.

Often times, I was confused when people said they loved the lean part of the steak and how the fat was gross and chewy.

I remember a Reddit post or some forum post about this. Everyone saying how gross the fat was.

Idk. I assumed either most people were lying, bc they didn’t want to reveal they liked the fatty part, thinking a preference for fat would make them fat in the future, thinking fatty meat makes people fat.

Either that or I was the weird one.

I knew I loved the fatty part of the meat the most. Pork belly being one of my favorites.

Always happy to take the fatty pats from my girlfriend.

Poor Charlie’s Almanack.

Despite his hatred for bitcoin, his lattice work of ideas that he uses as a framework for analyzing business and finding value would have made him a bitcoiner, had he had a different sphere of competence and perhaps born later.

His lattice work of ideas is what every bitcoiner utilizes to become convicted. Take a wide range of subject matter and basic knowledge, history, psychology, economics, sociology, chemistry, mathematics etc… to find a lollapalooza event, ie, massive tailwinds that leads to something significant.

Halfway through. Some of the stories are kind of gimmicky.

But fun to read what potential future bitcoin worlds would look like.

Spoilers

A kid finds an opendime in a space station thrift store with like .25 btc in it. They refer to sats as “a whole satoshi” in the story. Uber rich.

I’ve been using the bed bug metaphor when I try orange pilling people.

I thought I was making progress with the exterminator. I wake up in the middle of the night scratching. Turn on my phone flash light and point it at the wall. White drywall covered in tiny dots.

Bed bugs destroyed my life for about 6 months. Ended up throwing out most of my shit and just moving out. Threw my hands up.

No I’m not fun at parties.

I’m probably in the super minority in terms of my opinions here.

Everyone seems to love concerts. I don’t get them.

Last one I went to was also Incubus. Think this was a little before the pandemic started.

I’ve listened to their music peripherally on MTV, the radio (I sound old to myself as I write this), and they are now on my Spotify list. Drive turns out to be more and more meaningful in my life.

I love their music, and music in general, but concerts are not about music, at least to me. The audio is set up for a big audience. Everything just sounds super loud. It’s not pleasant to listen to.

Sure I might get starstruck for a second and may want an autograph or picture. But I don’t really care enough about them to pay hundreds of dollars to see the band perform with loud unpleasant audio set up.

It seems like what people get out of concerts is to get a story out of it. “I went to a tool concert this weekend”.

This doesn't apply to classical concert bands, orchestras symphonies etc, where the sound quality actually matters for the live performance.

I’m sure a lot of artists’ musical talents would blow me and most people away if in a small quiet set up where the sound isn’t blasting so hundreds or thousands of people could hear.

Maybe I’m not a fan of the scale? Either way, I’ve never enjoyed it.

There are no such thing as human right. It’s a story.

Much like how the court system is a story that uses abstract power to settle disputes over property.

Probably after effects and blender along with an editing program like da Vinci.

Ive been working on an education video. Zero jargon is the goal. Ultimate goal is for a grade school kid or a retiree to get it via analogies.

No deep technicals. Hopefully sprinkle in some humor and light hearted fun in between.

To a cantillionaire, this is the most disturbing Junji Ito illustration they have ever seen.

Interesting, on my reading list now.

I can’t quite explain what’s happening with me.

Things have been more instinctual in terms of big decision making. I just made a giant career change that younger me would have had months of consternation about. Confusion and anxiety.

I’m in a place where I have a strong enough desire for bitcoin, and I just do whatever I need to do to get there.

But I not only want bitcoin for greedy self interested reasons, I want to contribute education wise. Working on projects and focusing my efforts, whereas before, everything was half finished projects or ideas never executed.

I’m in a strange low and high time preference state at the same time.

I don’t question myself as much, just do the best based on my experiences and acknowledgment of my ignorance.

Softwar by Jason Lowry

It was pulled from public access for some reason.

Goes all the way back to singled celled organisms to explain why humans go to war. He calls it primordial economics.

Also says bitCOIN is an arbitrary name that people seem to take at face value.

He likes to call it bitPOWER.

Bitcoin’s first use case is money. But bitpower can be a means of projecting kinetic energy to protect our data.

Much like how we use the navy to protect our seas, Air Force the airspace, and army our land, bitpower our portion of cyberspace.

Fold app has been pretty glitch free for me.

Bought cold wallet twice with their coinkite gift card. Got like 10 percents sats back.

Lolli works sort of ok, but I can only withdraw after my balance totals $15. I’ve been collecting sats for over a year and the price rise in that period is what got me to $7.

Stacker News has been the best when it comes to collecting sats, but the content itself is rewarding.

The other apps are purely about collecting a few sats. SN is just fun to be on.

I guess he felt he had some hand in it.

His text saved my life.

I suppose it’s comforting to think that way. I also think it’s comforting to think of it as a warning shot too. Bc there’s someone in charge I could please to mitigate disaster.

My thought process is, people cut corners, and it costs lives. That thought is way scarier than a warning shot.
