Most people don’t get to see (or don’t look) what Gaza was like but it used to have multi-story malls, mansions, car dealerships, and foodie culture, etc. In fact, even now, despite all claims of famine (which have been demonstrably proven false and quietly recognized by even the UN), there are numerous influencer Instagram accounts showing brand new cafes and restaurants.

You could easily search for them on the internet, but here’s one.
Albanese compared Gaza to Nazi concentration camps, stating it’s "the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century." This has been criticized as Holocaust inversion—a form of distortion that weaponizes Holocaust terminology to demonize Israel while diminishing the unique historical reality of Nazi concentration camps where millions of people were systematically murdered.
While it’s true there are poverty-stricken areas of Gaza which get highlighted in the media over the last 2 decades (that is, since Israel unilaterally withdrew from the region), there were a lot middle-class and wealthy.

Words matter. Treblinka and Auschwitz, for example, didn’t have malls, restaurants, or car dealerships for its “inhabitants.” They had nothing to offer but death.
Gaza is under Hamas control (and to some degree, other anti-Hamas groups like the Popular Forces which are connected to what’s left of ISIS), and it built the largest civilian bomb shelter in human history underneath Gaza. Except, no civilians are allowed into it — only Hamas fighters. Hamas makes sure that its turned are guarded the ingress/egress is frequently under civilian homes, schools, and hospitals. All of this is documented.
But people like Francesca don’t want to talk about the horrors *Hamas* (the entity in control) is inflicting on the ordinary people of Gaza who just want to go about their lives. She doesn’t talk about how Hamas treated women or Christians in Gaza. She just wants to sensationalize and lie. The situation there is bad enough without that.

Kurt Gödel, an Austrian logician working in 1931, proved something that broke mathematics. He showed that any formal system powerful enough to describe arithmetic contains statements that are true but cannot be proven inside that system. Mathematics, the most certain thing humans had ever built, has holes in it that can never be filled.
Hofstadter spends hundreds of pages making you understand this proof not just as a mathematical theorem, but as a structural fact about every sufficiently complex system. Including the brain. Including any AI. The reason AI alignment is genuinely hard is not just engineering. It is structural.
Any system smart enough to model itself will contain truths about itself it cannot reach from inside itself. Hofstadter showed this 50 years before AI safety was a field.
The second thing the book does is introduce his core idea. He calls it the strange loop.
A strange loop is what happens when a system, by climbing through layers of itself, somehow ends up back where it started. Escher's drawings of staircases that always go up but somehow loop back are visual strange loops. Bach's musical canons that modulate up through keys and end on the original note are auditory strange loops. Gödel's self-referential statements that talk about themselves are logical strange loops.
Hofstadter argues that consciousness is a strange loop. *Your brain builds a model of the world. Inside that model, it builds a model of itself perceiving the world. Inside that self-model, it builds a model of itself thinking about itself perceiving the world. The recursion does not bottom out. The self is what the loop feels like from the inside.*
This is the part that AI researchers cannot stop returning to. Modern transformer models use self-attention, which is technically a mechanism where a network attends to its own internal states across layers. Recursive reasoning, where a model thinks about its own thinking, is now a research area with its own conferences. Meta-learning, where models learn how to learn, is a direct descendant of what Hofstadter described in 1979 as the necessary structure of any conscious system. He wrote the philosophy. The engineers are now building the implementation.

Art critics… pfft.
Is there a job that adds less to society? I don’t think so.
Consider that, unlike *artists*, who earn notoriety (and money) for producing creative work that expresses something universal, or something personal, in a novel way, art *critics* literally only get famous for writing something nasty. No one pays attention to an art critic who writes POSITIVE things about a famous artist. Art critics are there parasitic high school mean girls of the art world. Starved for attention. Fed by jealous feelings for the success of others and sustaining their careers solely by attempting to “take them down a peg.” It’s a pathetic career choice for a failed artist.
Now, with that out of the way. That critic’s quote you pasted above has *some* merit against Banksy, as does yours. To your point, he seems to be generating the same message rather than pushing the envelope. Yet, why was it (y)our expectation that he “grow” as an artist? Perhaps he found his niche and feels the most important thing he can say, repeatedly, as you said is “Governments are bad. War is bad. Following other people blindly is bad.” You wish he took more risks as an artist the way he used to when you were 14 but, my point is, perhaps he is. Perhaps it’s not laziness that keeps him repeating himself. Perhaps it’s society’s persistent ignorance and the risk *he’s* taking is the same.
As for criticizing his commercial success, I dunno. That’s a bit like being unhappy that other people like your favorite local band. You liked them years ago, and then they got big, and now their 3rd album “sucks” because it sounds like the first, and you wish they’d branch out and take more risks, and are unhappy that floor seats at their sold out stadium show cost 5x a fancy dinner in the city. Right?
Personally, I think Banksy is laughing at Sotheby’s and its ilk. Laughing all the way to the bank. Let him continue to poke his finger in the eyes of the establishment. If that’s an easy message to understand, all the better. When it becomes a BORING message for people to understand, he will become less commercially successful.
But, you know, I think that once “war is bad” or “following other people blindly is bad” becomes boring a message, that would be the most positive outcome for both him and the world, actually.

Consider yourself fortunate to understand the message at an early age. Some (most?) people don’t, and others not until later (or maybe never).
Remember, too, that, just because *you* were exposed to his art and understood its message when you were 14, there are 14 year olds TODAY who aren’t familiar with Banksy’s back-catalogue. So this piece and its message are new *to them*.

From the article:
The new system applies to all non-EU Nationals who travel to an EU country for a short-term stay (up to 90 days within a 180-day period). The automated process requires valid travel documents and will collect biometric data, such as fingerprints and facial scans, as well as travelers' exact dates and places of entry and exit.
The Entry/Exit System (EES) is a new border crossing procedure that collects and registers the biometric data of non-EU nationals visiting European Union member states. The system, which is being implemented at both international train and airport terminals, "will replace passport stamping with digitally recorded entries, exits, or refusals of entry of non-EU nationals coming for short stays,” the European Commission said in a statement. “Travelers’ facial image, fingerprints, and personal data from the travel document will be also recorded. ”
Travelers will need to register in the system every time they cross a border entering or leaving the EU, but not when moving between EU member countries. This will be completed by border control agents at passport checkpoints, or via automated kiosks or eGates. The scheme is designed to identify suspected criminals, combat identity fraud, and to police the EU's limit on 90-day stays within a 180-day period, according to the European Commission.
The first time you enter an EU nation while EES is operational, a passport control officer will take a photo of your face and/or scan your fingerprints. (You can also register your data in advance by using the Travel to Europe mobile app.) After that initial scan, your information will be recorded in the EES system. Then, the next time you encounter an EU border check, an officer will either verify that your data matches (as opposed to taking your photo or scanning your fingerprints again) or, if available, you'll be able to use a self-service kiosk. Upon each border crossing, EES will document the date and place of your entry and exit.
The aim of the new system is to replace the manual security process of checking and stamping passports. The process is “time-consuming, does not provide reliable data on border crossings, and does not allow a systematic detection of overstayers (travelers who have exceeded the maximum duration of their authorized stay),” the Commission says. Ideally, the system is also meant to help cut down queue times, making for an easier and more streamlined airport experience.
While EES is designed to help streamline cross-border travel in the long term, travelers could experience delays as airports adjust to the new technology. Over the past few years, for example, there have been ongoing reports of travel disruption across the UK, and the new system will undoubtedly have some teething problems.
ACI Europe Director General, Olivier Jankovec, and Ourania Georgoutsakou, Managing Director at Airlines for Europe, have both expressed concern, saying in a joint statement: “The combination of full registration requirements and reduced operational flexibility is expected to place unprecedented strain on border control operations.”

One of the things that surprised me about getting older, is how *absolute* young people are about their opinions. I mean, older I get, the LESS certain I am, about most things.
I definitely have a better understanding of what serves for me when it comes to my habits and methods (professionally), and am aware of intentional patterns of thought that are either constructive or maladaptive (personally), and I obviously have more life experience to draw from when making decisions (in both domains) but, even though I’ve collected more support for strongly held convictions, I’ve also maintained a sense of conservatism that I may not be 100% right, about most things in the world.
Does this resonate with any other mid-lifers out there? I don’t mean to sound like I’m making a “kids these days, amirite?” style of complaint. But, damn, when I see what’s expressed on social media, it makes me want to shake them and say, “You’re young. You don’t know anything, yet! Have some fucking humility.”
Of course, I’m sure I thought I knew everything when I was younger, too. I’m sure I was a pain the ass for many “grownups.” But I’m also pretty sure I wasn’t screaming in all caps at people, or crassly attacking anyone for pointing out my mistakes. I dunno. Maybe the anonymity of the Internet makes throwing tantrums through a keyboard socially acceptable, somehow — because trolling and shitposting became a fun pastime, because having an opinion (and sharing it emphatically and with 100% certainty) about literally everything became the default.
Just sayin’. The world (life, itself) is far more complex than some of these 20-somethings seem to recognize.

Very little is black and white when it comes to current events — or historical events. Everything is contextual, but social media has groomed a generation to produce and consume hot-takes rather than deep research which takes patience, time, and humility.
The advent of the 24-hour news cycle meant there’s always something that needs to be said about something. Content must be produced, even if it is just an opinion or an initial reaction. More often than not, these are simply wrong.
Flash is a victim of this as much as he is a perpetrator of it.
His mea culpa here isn’t to acknowledge that he’s sometimes wrong and will spend more time to do better, it’s “I don’t make the news and will continue posting whatever is BREAKING as fast as possible” and through a lens of self-importance.

Please don’t take offense, but you’re somewhere between 0 and 1, on scale of 1 -10. Seriously, take that with humor and humility. There’s nothing wrong with not knowing something. The error is thinking that you can “smell bullshit” accurately in a domain you admittedly know very little about. Second, whatever you think about Michelle Obama, which I can tell is very little, let’s agree the the clip is a small sound bite of a larger conversation. The clip was presented as such PRECISELY because it is being used to trigger a response from you. You know that, right? You had the immediate *sense* that something feels off and you are calling bullshit. But, you don’t know very much about the topic and, and this is important, you don’t know what else was said prior to, or after, this statement. There might have been additional context or information that could help you. There wasn’t, so I’m going to try to do that now.
What distinguishes a woman’s body from a man’s is more than just a vagina which is just the externally visible sex organ. Other parts of the reproductive system include the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries (just to name a few that you might have heard of). Importantly, the ovaries don’t just produce eggs for pregnancy. They produce hormones during menstruation. Say a woman gets pregnant once in her life, the fact that she menstruates EVERY MONTH (between puberty and menopause) should tell you something by the simple ratio of their occurrence. A woman’s body needs these hormones for her overall health (yes, everything from her brain to her bones to her physical stamina and energy levels). The ovaries are *far more* important to a woman’s general health than her vagina, even though both are part of her reproductive system. Understanding this, take a moment to watch the video again and you’ll see that what she’s saying is that you can’t you reduce a woman’s reproductive health to *just* giving birth, and that it is, in fact, “the least important thing about the reproductive system as a whole.”
To really hammer this home, consider that some women never give birth, and yet, their reproductive system is still vital to their general health and well-being on a daily basis. Nothing about what I’ve just written is controversial. That is, unless you don’t know how a woman’s body works. Her point is that lawmakers and politicians, especially religious ones, have about as good of an understanding about women’s health as you do… which is to say, very little. This is not meant to divide us, or insult men, or put women’s needs over anyone else’s.
It’s simply a fact that if you don’t know much about a subject, you should not hold strong opinions about it, and you definitely shouldn’t be legislating on it, or even advising others on what they should do with regards to the topic.
Does this make sense?

Thanks for your comment. Just to set the table stakes for this discussion, how familiar are you with a woman’s biology? Say on a scale of 1-10. This is not a gotcha, I’m just trying to gauge how to talk with you. As an example, if you are a woman, you might answer 10. Although you may not if you have a low understanding of your own biological processes — many women do. Likewise, if you are a man and you are being honest, you’d probably need to answer less than 5 unless you have spent considerable time studying the subject and/or performed a survey of women with questions about their experiences, at various stages of their lives.
So, where are you at 1-10?

I didn’t justify anything.
Re-read what I wrote. Did the worms eat *all* of your brains? Hamas are the ones who filmed themselves doing everything you just said. Don’t get it twisted.
I’m anti-religious zealotry.

For clarity, you are saying that I (as a sole owner of a singlesig wallet) could create a multisig 2 of 3 set up by adding two more wallets while continuing to use my original singlesig as one of the signers? I did not think that was possible. My understanding was that a multisig set up like this needed to start fresh with all new keys so, that’s how I set mine up.

I understand that the Bitkey is designed for non-technical people, but it would be nice for there to be an OPTION to obtain seed words in case CashApp ever experiences operational issues or otherwise deprecates the Bitkey project.
Would also be nice to allow it to connect to my own node over Tor, rather than Block’s servers. Otherwise, I cannot recommend it wholeheartedly to noobs.

Thanks very much. Yeah, my understanding was that you *had* to create two new seeds for multisig. I didn’t know you could still use one of the old singlesig seeds.
It makes sense to rotate, for privacy reasons, too, but one concern there (to digress a bit) is that moving funds would require either moving each UTXO into the new multisig setup (which could be expensive depending on the fee market) or combining all UTXOs (which is bad for privacy).

Haven’t watched the video yet but, just based on this short clip, is it correct to say that merchants can “upgrade to multisig?” As in, their current singlesig wallet could become multisig?? As in, without changing the seed? Am I understanding this correctly, or maybe you meant that merchants can now upgrade their BTCPay Server *account* to multisig?
ELI5, thx.

You bring up several interesting points about the misuse of surveillance technologies, but you are incorrect to label Israel’s response to Hamas’s attacks as a genocide. This is a war. That may be uncomfortable for you to hear, given what you may have read or heard.
The truth of this war is explain by this simple meme.
I am open to have a discussion with you in DM.

Do you ever catch yourself lost in thought?
Do you ever pay attention to what happens as the thought dissipates and dissolves from your mind?
Where does it go?
Were you holding on tightly to the thought, or were you the one captured by *it*?
Are you the one thinking these thoughts, or is thinking just a natural process that you are only sometimes aware of?
Each thought is like a wave, crashing against the shore of your conscious awareness, and then falling back into nothing.

SRSLY.
I actually read a transcript of the conversation they had. It was something like…
Prof. Mora: The Bitcoin network is a waste of energy. I assign you to prove it in a short paper and encourage you to make any assumptions you want about growth without researching the difficulty adjustment, hardware efficiency upgrades, energy markets, stranded energy, the mempool, load balancing, or renewable energy sources. Really, just extrapolate however you want. Don’t bother interviewing anyone who actually uses or secures the network. Bitcoin is bad and, remember, it’s a waste of energy. Also, does anyone know a guy named de Vries?
Et al: Aye Aye, Captain! Wow, data science is easy!!

I’m not changing the argument. I’m enhancing it for you. You think you have me in some gotcha because I made a claim that I can’t back up. I’m explaining what I mean by “Hamas revised their numbers down by half” by showing HOW they admitted half their data is incomplete, often using duplicate entries, and WHY they have motivation to do so including providing one incident where they inflated the numbers by far more than half — an incident it later turned out was perpetrated by Hamas’ own fighters which they blamed on Israel. You know it took Israel MONTHS to confirm the number of dead from 10/7? Hamas frequently claims hundreds of people died within minutes/hours?
If you can’t see this, I don’t know what to tell you.

As an actuary, you must look at details, right? The analysts who reviewed the Hamas Health ministry “complete” numbers found that the same exact names were used dozens of times sometimes for males, sometimes for females. Further, again, the numbers place NO distinctions between combatants and civilians.
Let’s say, for the sake of morbid argument, it’s 50%. If so, that’s a 1:1 ratio of combatant to innocent ratio. Maybe if Hamas wasn’t intentionally fighting among its own civilian population, operating in (and firing rockets from) schools, hospitals, and refugee camps, that number might be different. Interesting, no?
And yet, that would still be a civilian death rate far lower than the armed conflicts and wars in Korea, Persian Gulf, or Iraq which were 74%, 88%, and 67%, respectively.
Thus, is it your position that ALL 38,000 of the reported dead are noncombatants?
If not, what percentage would YOU ascribe?
I’ll wait.
