Elite overproduction — When a society produces more aspiring elites (wealthy, educated, politically ambitious people) than there are elite positions to fill, the result is intra-elite competition that destabilizes society.

Supabase is interesting and with their mcp you could vibe code the backend, too. Not saying you should, but you could.

“To take flight every day! At least for a moment, which may be brief, as long as it is intense. A "spiritual exercise" every day - either alone, or in the company of someone who also wishes to better himself. Spiritual exercises. Step out of duration... try to get rid of your own passions, vanities, and the itch for talk about your own name, which sometimes burns you like a chronic disease. Avoid backbiting. Get rid of pity and hatred. Love all free human beings. Become eternal by transcending yourself.
This work on yourself is necessary; this ambition justified. Lots of people let themselves be wholly absorbed by militant politics and the preparation for social revolution. Rare, much more rare, are they who, in order to prepare for the revolution, are willing to make themselves worthy of it.”

Run 29, no one forces you to update. That’s the beauty of an open protocol.

2025-09-06 20:01:02 UTC

Of course it’s an issue but mempool filters are not the fix for it. Once confirmed, your node will still download and store the tx.
I argue that conversation is needed, just blindly following either camp is not the solution.

2025-09-06 19:15:51 UTC

- reply

In a truly open protocol filters will never fully work. They benefit users by keeping the protocol relatively usable. But here’s the big but: this whole thing is only about mempool filters has nothing to do with what your node will accept as valid tx sooo it’s not that big of a deal

I wanted to write a witty note about energy politics in Europe quoting Mark Renton’s famos “choose life” speech…. but, we didn’t choose life. Unlike Mark, we didn’t choose heroin either. We chose suicide.
(Unelected) Politicians traded decades of cheap Russian gas for expensive American LNG and called it “energy independence.”
Now our industry flees while we pay 4x more for energy than our competitors.
At least Mark had a way out.

Spam is bad; filters, even though imperfect, have a positive effect ie. keep the protocol usable (see email)
It’s clear conversation is needed but that seems utterly impossible at this point it’s pure ego. Sad.

This sounds crazy but it’s completely accurate. I just spent 6 weeks in Venezuela and I was lucky enough to learn about this exchange in the first few days. Inflation is running hot again, when I got there the official bs/usd rate was 78:1 when i left it was 94:1. In six weeks. The black market rate is around 130:1.
