Last Notes npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Went for a run Monday, was windy and chilly. Was stiff and sore from two Padel tournaments on Saturday. Two miles slow, maybe 11 minute pace. Seems like a small thing with all the other things going on in my life, but it's not. Showing up to the track IS what's going on in my life. That slow uncomfortable run is reality itself. The encounter with it is the point. It's not a matter of discipline or self-improvement or getting in shape. Just a basic connection that pervades everything. There is no other life but the slow progression into the wind on the track surrounded by sparse trees and ugly buildings. Going again today. Will stretch for five minutes against a tree afterwards as I always do. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss 14-YO overslept her alarm this morning (has a basketball game), luckily I realized and woke her up, and now she’s pissed at me for waking her up! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss cool, will check it out, thanks npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Would like to hear it npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Idea to bookmark for later: real numbers are incompressible like reality itself. Pi and e are compressible reals, ambassadors from reality to the land of reason. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Never understand what that dude is getting at either or what he's even talking about. Ray Dailio I can understand what he's talking about, but never what his point is. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss love a good Caesar, wife makes one with a lot of garlic npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I was aware of different levels of infinity, say the higher level of the reals and the higher level still of the sets that can be made with reals. But in my Claude chat I got some insight as to WHY real numbers can’t map with the naturals the way rationals do, and it got pretty deep. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss same, but I do think the Cantor stuff is cool where you can't match different levels of infinity one to one. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss ha -- of course I've seen that! Where he does the real comparison on the FGH scale, and you realize TREE(3) grows unfathomably fast npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Lots of people get confused by labels. When evaluating NFL players, people will say, but so and so was a first-round pick when he was taken 28th, and so-and-so is a second-round pick when he was drafted 35th. There's a much bigger difference between pick 6 and pick 28 than pick 28 and pick 35. The "rounds" are just arbitrary cut-off points. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss if he were compromised such that he'd destroy his presidency and imperil his future by launching a war that's not even popular with his base he would've sat 2024 out. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Odd how the price has spiked with Jane Street sidelined. Think it was Max Keiser who said JPM had a short on MSTR so big it would collapse them if the price mooned again. Occurred to me these large connected entities might be working together -- JPM shorts MSTR, scrambles to build competing products (or just hopes to delay/destroy it), knows Jane Street is good for the price manipulation of the underlying, both have inside info re overleveraged players, where the liquidation points are. We'll see, just seems like a hell of a coincidence of timing. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Normally I'd out this in a highlighter format and post it natively, but too many screenshots, so I'm linking to the Substack. Plus, probably the only one who will get it is @nprofile…xr40 npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Saw an interview with Kobe Bryant. Someone asked him if he loves winning or hates losing more. Kobe replied neither, when he's on the court he's just trying to figure it out. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss He also rented a car two days after he was suicided apparently. And yes, it's the Three-Body Problem that had that exact scenario only via an alien race. Good science fiction is indistinguishable from prophecy. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Excerpt from latest podcast: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss We can consider all that, but first, I want EVERY elected official and those they appoint to register ALL their assets, show us all their emails, texts and browser history, log all their in-person meetings, post their phone number, email addresses and home addresses. They are *public* servants after all and should lead by example. Only when this has been done under penalty of law, should they get around to debating what *private* citizens might disclose. So long as they do ANYTHING in secret, have any of their actions, work or communications classified, they are in no position to make privacy policy for everyone else. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss no, she said it was pretty bad npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Been onboarding people to nostr via my podcast. I don't sell them on the social media aspect or the decentralization or the censorship resistance. I just tell them I want to get paid, and it's absurd to subscribe to one dude's substack when you can pay roughly the same for every song ever recorded in human history. They WANT to pay me, but like most people have zero interest in getting out their credit cards and locking themselves into another subscription. Nostr is the way to do it, 25 or 50 cents a pop, no obligation. Regular listeners would rather pay than not pay. They get something out of being able to pay finally. This shouldn't be underestimated. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss 14-YO daughter went to a basketball tournament three hours away this week, had to sleep on the floor of an under-renovation old classroom, eat garbage food and play in three games while hanging out with people she had just met who had all known each other for years. Got home last night at 9, went to bed at 1 (she's on break), slept in. At 2:30 pm, I remembered she was home (had actually forgotten), went in and woke her up. Anyone's guess how late she would have slept had I not remembered. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss moral of the story: never give the middle school principal serious power npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss you must mean a second layer of tinfoil npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Ha — just imagine all you guys are so much more tech savvy than me. And yeah that makes sense re ETH. Zero interest in it in any event. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss was wondering if other people were thinking the same npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss above my paygrade npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss cc @nprofile…8u47 npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss The number of "suicides" and npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Had a dream I was hanging out with Bill Gates and he was a personable and nice guy. Woke up and remembered I had at least one similar dream that I was hanging out with Hillary and got the same impression. Maybe it was a message from my unconscious not to despise people I don't know about whom I have only second-hand information, but my first thought was this might be due to subliminal messaging through some medium they've tapped into to mitigate the public response to learning about their misdeeds. Like they sent out a message that bypasses the conscious mind to make the public less hostile to them when the truth comes out. I don't know. I am paranoid enough to think it's possible. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Nice of the Netherlands to take one for the team, taxing unrealized gains. Serious FAFO. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss That was my question. His actions are definitely driving it, either because he's tone deaf or because he wants that demand before he starts doing something about it. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss But the effect is to get his opponents to expect exactly that and increase the demand for justice. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss No one knows anything for sure, but the idea that we had a bull market that didn't even 2x the prior ATH (and even less when factoring in inflation and even less than that when compared to gold), so now we're in the two-year bear seems off, especially with so many bullish developments in the space. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss tough habit to shed, it's true npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I would say the domains in which attention-grabbing noise is rewarded are distortions of capitalism via network effects (like legacy social media). A "capitalist" business with sufficient network effect is a monopoly, and a monopoly is a mini version of the state (no opt out). Which is closer to communism. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I know this is just a news posting bot, but zero hedge doesn't know shit. None of these idiots saying, "I told you it was a bubble, narratives aren't fundamentals". STFU. Things go up, things go down, in the long run we'll know what was a narrative and what was fundamental. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Corporate media is running epistemic bailouts for world views that were rejected by the market (reality). This creates zombie worldviews that are not only irresponsive to market forces (facts), but are outright hostile to them. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss at 12 seconds in npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss have to come clean -- fridge started leaking again tonight npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss The fiat system's last stand? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Just donated blood today to shed some iron and it occurred to me how every medical system always needs blood, they're always out there begging for it, and yet at the same time people need blood tests, and in the US at least they cost a fortune. Why not if you need routine bloodwork, you just pop in donate a pint, and they take the first vial full and process the bloodwork? Every blood drive should offer free HBA1C, triglycerides, insulin, HDL, vitamin D, etc. Two birds one needle. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Fast crash > slow bleed IMO. Much more likely to snap back violently. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss So our fridge was leaking, took a photo of the model, uploaded it to AI, told me to unscrew the panel, pull it off and run a hair dryer on the drain until the ice melted and that shit actually worked. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I'm aware of that, but even on its own machine if it has access to your personal files, emails, accounts, internet access... npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss You guys cover the privacy implications? Wanted to play around with this, but terrified I'd be giving it access to things I'd later regret. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss same muscle, no kidney tests, actually donated blood BEFORE the 5.5, going to donate tomorrow coincidentally to shed some iron npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss What's weird is I was exercising and fasting before too. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Put this behind the paywall on my substack, but figured I'd post for free on nostr: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Listened to about half of the @nprofile…6dtc pod, and something clicked for me. The Yen blows up, people are worried the Japanese who own $5T in US assets might be forced sellers, so they flee into a neutral reserve asset (gold). If Japan dumps UST and stocks, gold is protection. So gold (and silver) moons, but that trade gets crowded. If only there were another neutral reserve asset available at a discount. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I agree with this, but it's not only that people have gotten used to being the product rather than paying. It's also that a substantial amount of content that people pay for is essentially fraud. Influencers peddling health fixes, money-making strategies, life coaches whose lives are not in order, etc. If you want to get people to part with their money, you promise them something they are desperate for, make it seem plausible, have a good pitch, etc. People will also pay for garbage that feels exclusive, provides them status.
