Last Notes npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt The book “The 48 laws of Power” has good, bad, and ugly advice. But one of its best chapters is Law 40 "Despise The Free Lunch”. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt We should stop the borg. It’s a dystopia. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Accustomed to* npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt We simply cannot continue to do politics in the way we are accustomed: mass media had its checks and balances. Those no longer exist. Mass election is overshadowed by doubt. Even worse, it witness the certainty of fakeness at every corner. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt You guys know that —based on last cycles— BTC price would be 200k plus by now, right? npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Who would invest in a beautiful, classical inspired, free city in Central Mexico, based on the Bitcoin standard? npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt The secret of unhappines (though it’s useful to know to defend yourself). https://image.nostr.build/9bc432252238c64b242729791f1ea0ce91dcea4c771008861a513735b4915066.jpg npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt O sea, sí Silicon Valley es un brazo de las agencias de EE.UU. Pero de ahí a defender a Maduro. El régimen chavista es indefendible. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt The future of Latin America depends upon free cities in a league. Given that only Costa Rica, Panamá, Chile and a handful of islands in the Caribbean have good governance, the impact of the success of these cities will be great. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt A good town has an owner. Even if it’s a collective one. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Mexico worked well while it was a possession of the Spanish crown. Once it became independent, it worked well when it was a private possession of general Díaz. In any other moment in it’s history, public intervention has translated to obstacles to development and corruption in the name of public interest. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt En México, el fin del partido de estado (PRI) llevó consigo el fin de su oposición (el PAN). npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Happy Fourth of July, brothers and sisters. May the ideals of those martyrs of freedom live! npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Hoy se acabó el PRI en México. Con él, también se acaba el estado mexicano. Los historiadores darán cuenta de ello. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Mantener ruinas como museo es muy caro. Seguir usándolas es sustentable (oficinas, casas, comercios). https://nostr.build/i/fe7542f87dffd2e36be21732a469fe88e79cce7c51092505a81c0b5f2ef52b08.jpg https://nostr.build/i/6f2b13648525556f3bd2cb43e2d5f66ac2d7d57f6c1e349f7c58317f68aca37e.jpg npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Bienvenidos a Nostr npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Y, de repente, no hay cámaras de eco en Twitter porque ya nadie puede leer nada nuevo. #useless. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt At * npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Ay this rate, it is safe to say that you shouldn’t eat anything invented in the 20th century. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Well, we don’t have caps over here. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Societies can resemble heaven or hell. Our’s seems to resemble the latter. Like the firsts episodes of ‘The Good Place’. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Erdogan wins by a small margin. It’s a bad news for his country. If it weren’t for BTC and the internet, Turkish people would be dammed. But at least these technologies enable a small raft to float away and build something valuable. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt I think art is only justified/valuable when the work of art unveils more than the object it’s depicting. Otherwise a photograph suffices. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt We’re trying to orangepill some public servants and decision-makers in Latin America, would you zap some sats our way to help us buy more #[0]‘s Bitcoin standard for them? npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Spanish is a tricky language to speak straightforwardly. You either convey euphemisms or insults with nothing in between. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Welcome #[0] ! npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt The only possible, truly human future (and present) with computers, algorithms and automation is one in which we are the masters. That takes bravery and strength. The alternative is the easy path of loosing our humanity. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt I love building tools for human flourishing using AI. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt The state won’t go without a fight. That’s why you need to be in a weaker state (but not a failed one). npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt The whole fiat construction lies upon the idea that somehow a shallow “scientific” analysis can replace thousands of years of learning and adaptation (evolution). npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt I’d like to buy products that last. Even when they seem expensive at first glance, they are certainly cheaper when they last for decades. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Hypothesis* npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Hypotheses: there’s a paradox when assessing liberty in a given place. The more liberty there is, the stricter the compliance of the few rules that exist. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt AI is mind-blowing. It needs constraints. However, they will not come from ethics or government regulation. They will come from prof-of-work. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Una vida comienza, la otra termina. Una es esperanza, otra, plenitud. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt This is extremely clownish. I mean the experimental treatment was supposedly only good for some months. People who took it a year ago or earlier are “protected” in the same way as people who never took it. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Zapped! npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Thinking about a BTC themed vintage product. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Which wallets support zapping? npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt If Lowery’s intuition holds, militarization in Latin America can be counteracted by holding BTC. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt He has said that the MIT will publish a digital version for free until September or so. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Fiat hammer-heads only see fiat problems (e.g. militarization in Mexico). I know a couple of very good intellectuals that are moving to Spain. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt A book that offers “how to” advice is usually noise. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt An “expert” advancing policy is most likely a charlatan selling some type of snake oil. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Worked! Thanks! npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Lowery, couldn’t you just publish a pdf of your thesis for free as any other publicly founded research does? npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Gracias. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt From a legal perspective you would need and offer and an acceptance. Therefore, when do you get your sats and under what conditions. Is it similar to a beauty contest? Is it a public tender? Is it under a first come first served basis? npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt I thought the hug symbol 🫂 was an old film camera. Might use it as such. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt It worked with WoS. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Exiting should be their strategy, BTW. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt 157 npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Thanks npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt People in fiat world are still convinced that their best strategy is raising their voice. It’s a bit pathetic, but I understand where they’re coming from. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt I agree! But now, I can’t like your post. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt El gobierno de México 🇲🇽 piensa que un buen tipo de cambio es una señal alentadora. No lo es, tarde se darán cuenta que su destino está atado al del dólar de Estados Unidos. Eso no es bueno. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Good heuristics are not eternal. They’re context dependent. When you learn them in your youth, you can made horrible mistakes following them in your old age. Like Charlie Munger. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt The first and definitive loss of any institution is when they loose their legitimacy. From there onwards, it is a downhill ride to decay. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt If you think about it, heretics understand we’ll both the waning and emerging times. So much so that in the Renaissance, they were priests and monks (rank and file of the old church). Now, they tend to be public officials. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Indeed! npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Thanks! npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Thanks! npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Our baby girl has been born. The mother is very well. Another bitcoiner! npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt We have to surf this wave of changes. Being here on #nostr at least means that we are realizing that there are profound changes going on. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Don’t become an academic, be a thinker instead. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Is lighting-zap poker a thing? npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Yes! npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Times of change mean times of utopias. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt There are books which sole purpose is to milk the infinite resources of the state. Either they are paid by the state or are written so to appeal to the state’s interests (and secure funding). npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Zapped npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Orangepilling municipalities and counties entails empowering them. In certain regions of the world (eg Latin America) that means a titanic effort. They are so accustomed to centralism. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt The difference between PoW and any other approach (prestige, likes, credentials, stakes, etc.) is that in PoW there’s reality to a claim. In other words, there’s something that can be proven: results. Not promises, not preparation, not signs of talent in other activities, but results. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt The more information the merrier. Zaps are a proxy of reputation, I think. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Some sats sent. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt As well! npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt If english is the language of the web, then common law is its legal framework? npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Are they on nostr? npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Ten sats for this thought, sir. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Meritocracy means adaptation of the fittest npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Exacto, la moderación debe ser orgánica. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt Politicians will be taken aback when they realize that there’s nothing they can do to moderate free speech on nostr. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt This app is amazing. Twitter looks boring in comparison. npub16mucygky6rn2lfkhy7q07gngwlu5ha0zh90qhvrmfvdk6qdtkh8svewjnh AGWyatt ¿Está @lunaticoin por acá?
