I sincerely wish you can get through this! I would love to read about how day to day life is going for common people there during these hard times. How do people treat each other? What is the vibe? Which products and services are less available and which are the same as before? Are some people moving out of the cities? Which places are targeted by the attacking military? What other measures, besides shutting the internet, are taken by the local authorities?

Is there a horse shoe theory of goodness? Meaning, if things gets to the extreme of bad, they overflow to the counter pole making it good. And vice versa.

My issue is that he tends to use these figures only as an idea starter, and then selectively picks what suits him, only to spin it into his own direction. Which would be fine, if he did not grosely misrepresent their work. Nietzsche has got a fundamental critique of jewish and christian morality, which is omited by Peterson, even though it is the core.
Idk. Probaly it is just the pills that he took. Perhaps, one day, he will return as Gandalf the White.

I have a thought on Jordan Peterson. What if his mental deterioration is due to bad conscience? He lied about Nietzsche, christianity, and he took side of the jews. And he tried to put together secular harwardism with the bible, which in principle cannot be done. So, it ripped him to pieces on the inside.

I have been looking into the topic of Spanish civil war, since there was a vibe of possible civil war happening in the USA. Interestingly, the factions on each side of the conflict were similar to the current political split.

I am thinking: since a gov office usually want papers issued by another office as a proof of something, what if get that proof, but then also legaly rename yourself at the same time. And if the timing on it is correct, what if you would end up with 2 legal identities, because it slipped through? Or zero identities? You could perhaps get yourself into a legal limbo where you are dead and alive at the same time.

Actually optane's main advantage is low latency. Speeds are not that special. This would be most useful for high frequency random reads. Like from a database. Puting the chainstate database on it should be good.

There is this tech called intel optane. It is a fast memory storage ment to be used in RAID with an HDD. In that setup, it serves for caching, making slow HDD feel fast. It is about 10 years old; since abandoned because NVMe SSDs caught up.
I have this in my old-ish gaming computer which I plan to repurpose. I am thinking of experimenting local LLMs on the nvidia graphics card, or other stuff. The point is to learn.
I could also use the machine for other home lab/server things. I am thinking about putting btc node on it, monero etc. This is where optane comes to play. Because full nodes read and write to the disk all the time, I maybe able to releave some of it with a proper optane setup. Obviously not with HDD, but with my 1TB SATA SSD instead. Node may be able to sync faster with it, or at least save some read/write cycles.
Would anyone be interested in reading about results of this kind of experiment? I do not know, maybe this idea is not worth much.

It is actually farthest in kilometers or miles, but distance does not represent how difficult is to get somewhere. It is more useful to think in Δv, when is comes to distances in space travel. It is a number of m/s - difference in velocity - how much you need to accelerate to get there.

Whole different belief system with its distinct culture, for those who live in the shadow society, incompatible with the rest.

I think my definition of democracy is more narrow than yours. I my view, large sections of the State work outside of "democracy" and outside of single nation republic.

In an alternate reality, on Earth that has much thicker atmosphere, humans were able to exploit possibility of flight during earlier stages of civilization.
First, during the stone age, there were only primitive parachutes and leather baloons.
Later, after they inveted woodworking, someone came up with body mounted wings. Large bird-like contraptions came soon after. Bamboo proved to be an excelent material for lightweight constructions. A member of the Bamboo civilization was the first to circumnavigate the planet by air.

Poverty always comes first, because that is the default state of a human.
The question is what you do about it. You could postpone consumption. Create capital goods which will later be useful - that will get you out of poverty. Or you can take apart existing capital goods, and consume the loot. And once you consume it, you end up where you started, or worse. Like someone who burns his funiture to warm up. Then blames on someone else that he has nothing to sit on.
I refrain from looting because it goes against my nature, not because it is easier. I come from people who prefer building. It is out nature.

To what degree new tech wil take away jobs depends on the elasticity of demand for the goods/services in question.
If the demand is inelastic, then lots of people will be fired. Smaller number of people will be employed in that sector producing same amount as before.
If the demand is elastic, then increase in productivity and subsequent drop in prices will lead to massive increase in quantity of the product being bought and sold. Same number of people will be employed producing more stuff.
Examples from the top of my head:
1) Industrialization of agriculture leads to agriculture workers being fired. People demand roughly same quantity of food, so less workers is enough. Demand is inelastic. At most people eat 2x more calories if food is cheaper as a result of tech.
2) Scaling up of computer chip manufacturing leads to lower price and people want more and more and more etc. Instead of couple computers in a firm where it is really needed, you get 5 computers per person. Consumption rises by mamy orders of magnitude.

My observations when vibecoding as an amateur/beginner:
- I am starting with tiny projects
- barier to entry has been lowered massively
- i keep getting impressed
- the robots are way ahead of me. Even taking precautionary steps on their own initiative. Trying to follow "good practice".
- I have a tendency to micromanage it. I want to understand the code.
- It is good at expaining why it did what it did, when I ask. I ask the way I would ask a teacher.
- I think it suits me well, as I think of myself as a "man of ideas" rather than a "man of craft".
- Before I knew I would dislike being a coder. Now I can skip a large part of the profession which requires hyper-specialization.
- I think I am good at prompting it. It is about exactly expressing intentions in words.
- vast majority of effort and time goes into tweaking and polishing the results
- my favorite prompt thus far is "split the code into more functions, such that it is more readable by a human"
