Last Notes npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss such a mystery, what could it possibly be? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss No, it's not the same thing. You keep begging the question. "Preemptive strikes" "bombing civilian areas for political reasons". It's obvious by your characterizations of what's happening why you think those things are the same as knowingly killing a baby. But you really don't know. Were they preemptive strikes, or in response to something the regime has actually done for decades? Will the regime's decapitation result in more or less prosperity for Iranians and Americans in the short, medium and long term? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Because you and I have extremely limited knowledge of geopolitics, of what's actually happening in Iran or the middle east. We have more than enough knowledge about life to know you don't kill babies because you think it will accrue to the greater good. When you don't know what you're talking about, best to wait for results before you evaluate. Iraq was a disaster, we can be pretty sure, years later. People were hyperventilating about taking Maduro in Venezuela, and that *might* turn out well. Iran might too. We don't know. The difference from an information perspective is vast. As I said, it's like getting worked up about a politician cheating on his wife -- you don't know them, their relationship, what preceded it, etc. You do know not to cheat on your own wife. If you were to distill it into a principle it would be this: You don't know all the consequences of ANYTHING you do. But when you act locally, you have enough specific knowledge to form intelligent heuristics and iterate. It's not perfect, but it works. That DOES NOT work or apply to low-information situations involving people you don't know engaged in geopolitics. For those, a wise person will wait for results before evaluating. It was obvious to me at the time that while I didn't know how this would turn out, and was deciding to wait, the hyperventilators also did not know either. The CNNs and the NYTimes were probably lying and framing things for political signaling, and most people were getting doctored information to fit their priors. I did believe Trump doesn't seem hellbent on killing civilians or getting us into a protracted military quagmire, based on his history as president, but I would never say he couldn't screw up, miscalculate or actually just be a psycho waiting for his chance. But while any of that was surely possible, I was pretty sure there WAS a plan, that plan was likely to track the incentives of the planners and those incentives probably were not WWIII, again with the possibility I was wrong. That's why I can't be for the intervention until we find out more. If you want to be a good evaluator of information in the information age, you need to adjust your certainty levels based on what you know and don't know, not based on whether it confirms your biases. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Interesting that certain sports can theoretically get stuck in infinite loops. Baseball has two-strike foul balls that can go on forever, tennis can have infinite lets. Like if you simulated an infinite number of games, some would never get past the first batter/point. Would be great to tell thr grandkids you spent a year at the infinite let match. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss it's out! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss To the extent you already outsource your thinking to "experts" you might as well let AI do it for you. Eliminates the middleman, lets your overlords program you more frictionlessly. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss this is good. @nprofile…cd8v doesn't take the analogy far enough: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Think there's a misconception about traditional finance and debt that's similar to the misconception about capitalism itself. Capitalism presupposes private property, and in so doing, doesn't interfere with wealth creation. Crony capitalism is when people who already have capital use it to rig the rules in favor of the connected few. The existence of crony capitalism isn't a knock on capitalism, private property and wealth creation, it's an abuse by bad actors disguised as wealth creation. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Many negative things could accurately be said about Trump, but that he is ineffective or just uncannily lucky is probably not one of them IMO. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss sounds like the CNN version, i.e, version 1. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss They're a little bit mutually exclusive -- if closing the SOH and letting the EU have to fend for themselves rather than free-riding on US security as well as re-positioning the US as the supplier of energy is happening, then the strategy was purposeful and quite possibly being achieved. If the war was a catastrophic error that destroys the economy, then the strategy was haphazard and failed. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss There are two distinct threads of analysis re the middle east war right now: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss new podcast excerpt https://v.nostr.build/TejR8kxPj43JIo7j.mp4 npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss an individual investment is the foreground, bitcoin is the background npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss had a 90 minute nap that caught me up on years of lost sleep npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss yeah he shows how the -1 chips away at the base: https://www.numberphile.com/videos/the-goodstein-sequence npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss very nice -- the guy in the video showed more or less why it terminates, but didn't do the actual proof. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss For starters sources who were willing to use their names, and definitely not CNN and other known propaganda outlets relying on anonymous sources. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss "according to CNN citing sources familiar" LOL npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss gotta look into this shit now npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss My @npub1jfu…m0gx March madness bracket is busted, cost me 10k sats, had Florida winning it, and ESPN keeps emailing me to sign up for a “second chance” bracket. But a man must learn how to take the L, FFS. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss the level of denial required to defend the covid response is unfathomable to me npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Based on the people I know, this is precisely the normie take. Not saying it's incorrect -- I don't know -- but it's what everyone is saying. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Once the demand for organs is sufficient, and all the depressed and sick people are dead, what's next, Squid Game? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss real talk! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Web npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss anyone else finding it impossible to access your notifications on Primal? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss In 2021? A lot. People I knew too. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I also remember in the height of the vaccine mania. I posted that you should take any medicine, given informed consent, if you deemed its benefits to outweigh its harms. And you should not take any medicine whose harms you deemed to outweigh its benefits. It really didn't matter what someone labeled that medicine. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss People don't like it when you dissent from their religious beliefs. On Twitter, those beliefs were in "The Science" and experts and vaccines and anti-racism, etc. On nostr, it's libertarianism, anti-state, anti-"war", anti-government. Two sides of the same coin really, that coin making politics one's religion and the state its center point. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss They are taking your money anyway. They have taken your money since before you were born. They are not going to demonstrate to your satisfaction the plausible value, and any reason they do give is probably bullshit. Those are the table stakes. You may wish it were otherwise, but wishing will not make it so. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Everything the government does costs money. If it builds a bridge, that costs money. But maybe that bridge is a good investment. Same with the Venezuela operation. Everyone who is so sure this will be a disaster was saying the exact same thing about that. So of course you can oppose or support it if you like. My point was personally I will only support it if it turns out to be successful and only oppose it if it goes bad. And I don't know yet, so I'm agnostic, and I don't think it's good or bad to support or oppose or be agnostic to things, and when you remove the good and the bad, usually you just judge by the results, since you're not motivated for anything except wanting things to work out in a way that aligns with your broader interests. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss That's fair, but I think there's a big difference between the jabs which involve me directly, literally injecting something into my bloodstream, and a foreign policy operation going on overseas I might oppose based on what I read in the news. And I was opposed to the mandates before the information was known, but I wasn't opposed to people electing to take the shot if they felt like it, nor did I try to argue them out of it. I really didn't know. My opposition was initially only to that it was mandated. Now I think it's poison that should be taken off the market. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss My position is I don't know. The burden of proof is on both sides -- someone saying this is a mistake and someone saying this is good. The point I was making in the podcast was not that "yes, this is worth it," but that most people are operating from a stance of whatever makes them feel good about themselves. If you're a rah rah patriot that thinks someone finally had the balls to do something about these theocratic local bullies, you feel good that Trump is taking them out. You believe it's for the greater good. If you're an anti-war libertarian that thinks the state is always up to no good, no matter the bullshit justification, you feel good opposing the operation. I'm just saying I don't know, and in such cases, I'm fine to just let things play out before having an opinion on them. It doesn't make you a good person to speak out against the war, or a bad person to cheer it on, hoping for success. It doesn't mean shit. We'll find out eventually one way or the other. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss If the price tag is high, or the war goes on a long time, it'll probably turn out to be against our interests. But you're begging the question. Assuming it goes on a long time, and assuming it's not in our interest, then it's not in our interest. But if it goes on a short time, and the benefit is worth the cost then it is in our interest. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I don’t know if it’s prudent — I just don’t have good enough information. But Trump has been successful with foreign policy thus far and doesn’t seem to want an Iraq style occupation with its attendant costs. So I give the benefit of the doubt and see how it goes. If it goes well I’m for it. If it goes badly I’m against it. And by well I mean advances American people’s interests. And by badly I mean the opposite. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss that's my MO, just ask stupid questions until I understand something npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss ha -- I'm sure that dude knows 10x the math that I do. 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 Seen that one! Guy really goes into detail here on the transfinite ordinals. Locates different functions on the FGH using them: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I was the opposite, was hoping for a boy, got a girl, and it's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Plus, she plays basketball and is balling out. Best of both worlds. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss sounds like he has a lot of spirit! 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 Try telling someone last summer it's hitting 72, and you're gonna be happy about it. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Jack Kruse is another version. 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 Much of the news is not created for your consumption but for geopolitical agendas. You can still react to it if you like, but your reaction is collateral damage of sorts. You were in many cases not the target. 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 had a very interesting convo with Claude about this and the diagonalization proof. You’re right. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss yeah, his was different, but I had to explain it to a high school student, and this was an obvious way to show it. Could also do square root of 2, square root of 2.01, square root of 2.001, cube root of 2, cube root of 2.01, fourth root of 2, fourth root, etc. No way you can match the naturals to it because there are an infinite number of these series you could do, just to get from 1 to 2. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss No, it's the proof that the set of reals is larger than the set of natural numbers, even though the set of odds numbers is exactly the same size as the set of naturals. 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 real talk! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss this one is really good too: https://www.numberphile.com/videos/the-goodstein-sequence 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 yeah, it's a category error npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss But we don't care about whether it's a wise policy generally. That's a question for statisticians. We care whether it was wise in this instance, and that we won't know until the result is in. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss How it turns out is the thing of utmost relevance. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Perfectly valid to raise concerns about how this could become disastrous, (and it surely *could*) but that's speculation at this point. What I'm seeing is people posting as though it has already become disastrous, or disaster is inevitable now. They were doing the same re Venezuela and while that too *could* become disastrous, it doesn't remotely seem to as yet. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss you got rid of the insult, but still didn't bring the substance npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss respond with substance not insults 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 No one thinks Iran would be a cake walk, and he wouldn't have run had he thought his future would be imperiled. 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 Very unlikely we will have an Iraq-style war with Iran. Makes zero sense. If Trump were to do this, he'd get destroyed in the midterms, and a democratic would win the white house in 2028 and probably prosecute him and all his friends. He and his admin know this. They know no one who elected him wants an actual war. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss memory-holed everything -- mass formation psychosis npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss https://fountain.fm/episode/LYF4NLonbLa57dI9XBCk npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss trading firm, and we don't know for sure except what happened every day at 10 am ET didn't happen yesterday, and the price spiked 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 author died in a plane crash IIRC npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Actually have a copy of it -- bought it at a used bookstore a few years ago. Read some of it, will re-visit. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss ha, send me the link, will start it at least! 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 If anything was ever "alternative medicine" it's the mRNA shots. Alternative (and antithetical) to your own immune system. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Not just in bits, either. Three ramen shops have opened in my neighborhood, four hipster coffee shops, people copy/pasting what they think gentrification looks like. Not individuals with a vision for a style or cooking, but investments in more of the same. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Saw a David Icke interview, saw one with Whitney Webb -- it's all doom and gloom, you are owned, dominated, controlled, disempowered. This and total compliance to the state are but two sides of a coin. 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 real man sets up a work station, does his podcast npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Went to the basketball courts last week with my 14-YO daughter who plays for a local club. Worked on her threes, showed her my spin move, played horse a few times, etc. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Have not npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Unless Kalshi were doing it and offering 7 percent on the held funds. 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 saw that, but who was the third? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Step 1: Find 100 YODLs. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss My take on the Epstein Files. Trump could not release them. Too many powerful people implicated, would undermine his agenda. Too many of his friends implicated too. His own cabinet (Lutnick). So he needed Massie to do it for him, but he had to shit on Massie. Just like Elon, when his Tesla dealerships were getting vandalized, broke with Trump, vandalism stops, then he says Trump's in the files to create demand from the left for their release. Massie and Kahanna release them, Trump calls it a hoax, but people get exposed. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Another person onboarded to nostr today -- easier than I thought it would be. Key is to realize your pre-coiner listeners who appreciate your work really want to pay but reasonably don't want to subscribe. Self-interest is what gets people to do something, not high-minded platitudes about "freedom" or "censorship resistance". npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Excerpt from latest podcast: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Not playing this video. Spent too much time on detention in middle school at the hands of these types. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss sure, DM me some times that work. I'm on western European time, 5 hours ahead of ET. 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 I would enlist for this npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss no, she said it was pretty bad npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I guess they could just send me some sats, but easier to do it via their web browser and nostr ecosystem npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Twitter is good for information to some extent, but I've been posting less and less on my main acccount. I mean what else is there to say to the normies there after the Epstein files? 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.
