In The Once and Future King when Merlin turns the young Arthur into an ant, and he visits a colony preparing for war against another, this is the 1984-ish broadcast he hears:
I think I have heard every one of these in the political discourse lately.
Talked to a clueless colleague about bitcoin a little bit today. Here are some highlights:
I only explained a few points to him, since I really don't want anyone I work with associating me with bitcoin.
He got the fundamental difference between a decentralized currency and something with a central issuer.
He picked up why pretending to sell customers bitcoin that you don't have is more obviously fraud than minting and selling scam coin: you do receive the scam coin.
He was intrigued by the idea of paper bitcoin possibly accounting for the price slump and immediately decided that was an issue of too little regulation.
He was also shocked that medium of exchange use is rising. I only told him about Square terminals.
Why are you worried about people associating you with bitcoin?
I feel like if you just say that you are interested in it as a genuinely new monetary technology, not as an investment thesis or strong confidence that it'll change the world, then most economists will concede you that point.
I neither like nor respect my colleagues enough to want to talk to them about it.
I’ve previously worked with people who I was much more open with.
Ah that's too bad. It sounds like you semi respect this one though.
It's good to talk to people who aren't bitcoiners.
I've been thinking about doing a series of normie AMAs where we get a normie to come on SN and everybody can ask them questions.
Yes, it is good to chat with normies and this particular colleague is a great option because
Strait of Hormuz is what we call my uncle Hormuz running for a long pass.
What do you call a tush push with uncle Hormuz?

i'm so annoyed of being annoyed
Why are you annoyed?
Zionists active on Stacker News suppressing the truth.
Thus months most downzapped post by far -

You don't have to read it or care about it.
But why seek so determinedly and at considerable expense to silence information and a dialogue that some do believe is important?
Some meaning you? Important enough to be boosted (not zapped) into the top spot everyday?
We get it. Israel bad. US bad. War bad. China good. Solomon think so. Some people agree. Some people disagree. Can we move on please?
At this point, k00b's attempt to make the system fairer mostly empowers those wanting force feed stackers rage bait. Not much point in a "fair" toxic wasteland. If this is fair, I liked it better unfair.
You dont have to read my posts or any content that does not interest you or maybe even that you find challenging - just chill out and get on with contributing to the narratives you feel are important and allow others to discuss the things they feel are important.
Freedom of speech includes allowing all to air their views.
If you are not interested just don't participate.
I'm trying. When I wake up, three of five top posts on my favorite bitcoin forum are "zionests are destroying the world let's watch a youtube video about it and get mad with each other." Two of them are the same posts I saw everyday for the last week.
Then I come into the saloon or an econ thread, and you've copy pasted the same thing 10 times.
It's probably better to leave and let people like you destroy this place if that's what k00b and territory managers think is best.
Lol oh poor you.
What informative content and dialogue have you provided lately?
Silence.
Mine has contributed a fuck ton more sats into the Stacker news coffers than anything you have bleated about.
Go cry to your mommy 'evil Solomon keeps talking about the war I cant stand it mommy.'
Brow some balls you bleater.
I am not stopping you from enjoying whatever inane slop you want to indulge in- so stop the poor me bullshit.
I commented to help you see another side to this. Every other reasonable person has muted you.
You and Israel have the self-righteous, lack of empathy thing in common. Both terrorists. That's probably why you're so obsessed with them.
SN is your gaza strip. Enjoy bombing it.
After observing the posts and comments that got downzapped to invisibility, I zapped a few back into visibility.
Stacker News should add a "controversial" filter.
(Zaps + Downzaps) or do something like ( Zaps + Downzaps2 )
k00b already decided on that. There’s not gonna be that filter. Save this link in your favorites or bookmarks bar.

That's how I'm finding them now.
