Last Notes npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah "Being against everything..." npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Random thought: npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Always wait for "Print receipt?" prompt. That marks end of transaction. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Orwellian double-speak has quietly created a deep semantic divide that enables reality-manufacturing at an unimaginable rate. Add AI, and all bets are off. We underestimate how much of "objective" reality is actually perspectival. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Much appreciated. Been off nostr for a while. Need to do some wallet maintenance npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Why I fear we're fucked npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah The cognitive dissonance of being a bitcoiner in medicine.... love my patients. Love treating them. Fucking hate Healthcare, the bureacracy, the corrupt incentives, and the way many of my colleagues think. Can't go on forever. Sigh. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah A pardon would be the right thing. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Oh I absolutely agree. But there's rational atheist skeptic types who argue that supernatural framings aren't compelling. All I'm trying to imply is that even if divorced from the supernatural, the existence if a spiritual war is irrefutable. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah I am increasingly hearing the term "spiritual warfare" pop up in the modern vernacular. Some obviously subscribe to this framing, but others I see cringe or recoil at this, as it appears to evoke religiosity and superstition. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah What a guy! npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Probably an unappealing take, but I believe two facts exist in opposition in modern society (specifically with respect to the male psyche): npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Was just ranting yesterday about this phenomenon to my wife. Everyone and everything MUST be monetized. It's gross. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah War is the difficulty adjustment. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Question in my mind is, who holds more sway in their respective domain: JPM in America or CCP in China? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah If restaurants billed like hospitals.... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Sure. In this case. I'm just pointing out the problem with unforeseen consequences. You are implying these ppl are good at anticipating consequences. I am suggesting they are abysmal at it. Therefore there should be no tinkering with the source code npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Familiar with Roundup? It's a highly toxic chemical that kills nearly anything it touches. Crops were "bioengineered" to be tolerant to roundup. Farmland was then saturated with Roundup, killing only the undesirable plants (weeds). npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah If we assume gene X only controls one trait, but it turns out to control a lot of functions, we could introduce weird diseases or mutations by accident. When you selectively breed, you let evolved biological control mechanisms filter out potentially dangerous mututions npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah The nuanced distinction between the two approaches is in fact the very critical detail... every single thing humans do HAS to factor in the probability of human error...... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Man.... thanks npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah So is @nprofile…6237 DC open to public yet or nah? I think google is trying to lead me astray. Says it doesn't open till December npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah The US floating toxic financial thirst traps like this 50 yr mortgage scheme WHILE gutting the populace is the fiat govt equivalent of a mob boss that gives a usurious loan, then positions goons outside to shake you down for the borrowed cash. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Glancing through their reported data, seems they are... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Any w/o nuts? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Fold? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Lost on most of the world. Many seem only interested in understanding that which they have already decided to condone. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah You know how fiat relies on monetizing tomorrow's resources today? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah I find it amusing that to many people I know, the statement, "not everyone needs to go to college" is more controversial than "not everyone needs to get married/have a family".... one statement is backed by 70 years of precedent, the other thousands. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah I guess that's a valid point too. Our conception of time is so constrained by its necessary link to geographic location on Earth. Seems so obvious that this becomes a woefully inadequate system as soon as you leave the atmosphere (or time travel for that matter)... block height doesn't seem to suffer this same limitation npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Thought question: assuming bitcoin represents a new New World, complete with its own time zone - or rather its own timekeeping convention (block height)... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah I WISH it was only 80% npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Boing. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Our society pulsates to the hypnotic drumbeat of corrosive hedonism. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah The word 'healthcare' is a fairly modern word. I don't know why, but I've always taken issue with it - as compared to other longstanding terms like 'medicine' or just 'health.' It feels like an orwelian misdirection designed to CONNOTE (imply) one thing, but DENOTE (mean) something entirely different. The term is never examined, but I feel it should be. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah It's the only echo chamber where I routinely get wise/sound advice.... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Something I struggle with almost daily is authenticity/integrity.... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah I believe leftism is an emergent property of increasing scale. Large atomized populations are the fertile ground for this ideology to take root. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah When a patient is dying, there are a number of physiologic derangements that are universally present. Many appear early and worsen (sometimes gradually, sometimes rapidly) until the person's demise. These commonly include low blood pressure, low oxygen saturations, labile heart rates/rhythms, and an altered or depressed mental state. Many, if not all, of these aberrations, are apparent even to the lay person or the junior medical trainee as worrisome. For the most part however, these findings, though very concerning, do not NECESSARILY spell the imminent death of the patient. There is one derangement though, that once it appears is a harbinger of the end: hypoglycemia. It turns out that maintaining physiologic blood sugar - specifically avoiding LOW blood sugar - is an absolutely fundamental condition of life. So much that this function, largely fulfilled by the liver (with some input from the pancreas), is more protected and preserved than even maintenance of blood pressure or blood oxygen levels. So when a patient's blood sugar begins to tank, requiring administration of dextrose to correct, this spells liver failure and is an undeniable tell that the end is nigh. This is often missed by family members or novice clinicians as meaningful because hypoglycemia seems so innocuous when compared to the other concomitant physiologic abnormalities in the critically ill. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah My little cousin (20 something) just started a job as a financial advisor. Cold calls me to offer his services.... i declined but said I'd be happy to chat. I was excited to see if Gen Z tradfi has evolved in its understanding of #bitcoin. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Ewwww npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah For the warriors that have passed on. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Wtf is this?? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah This is so upsetting. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Pretty sure there's a reach-around somewhere in there.... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Breaking: the Shitcoin™️ industry is a scam. Who knew? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah "World Government Summit".... what is this insanity?? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah What venn diagram intersection leads to someone simultaneously having the ability to make/possess $15M AND the sheer stupidity to put it all on SUI (whatever the FUCK that is)?????..... i am truly bewildered by this npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Help me out here... What's a hypothetical leverage scenario where a 12% drop in the underlying leads to COMPLETE liquidation? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Probably unpopular take: I've never understood the hate I hear for Charles Hoskinson (the Cardano dude)... I get the shitcoining point. But is it possible that he's just WRONG about crypto but isn't necessarily a charlatan? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah What tradfi ppl don't understand: they are thespians. They're actors in the play. As a bitcoiner, I am an audience member that noticed the theatre is on fire. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Overhearing normie boomer finance dudes sharing their bad BTC and MSTR takes behind me in a restaurant = 4th turning version of taxi drivers giving stock advice npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Why don't I trust him.... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Hot take: when discussing leadership (esp in context of politics) business leaders or often lauded as having the best experience/acumen for the compexities of leadership. I would submit that an overlooked and underestimated intangible in a leader is an understanding of human nature. And few people understand human nature better than skilled adversarial-thinking software developers. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Every human action is a response to an incentive (or a matrix of incentives). If you can't explain another human's actions, that just means you're missing the incentive that they are attuned to. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah They think they can defy gravity. It is definitely going to hurt. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Make no mistake. Freedom of speech is on the menu. Both arms of the political apparatus are actively DEVOURING what remains of free speech. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Pretty awkward metric. 220lbs is a small polar bear. Might want a bigger wagon. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Could use some help with a game theory question I haven't seen discussed in #bitcoin posts/podcasts. It has to do with what I refer to as fiat sats - fake bitcoin held on fiat rails (think ETFs, treasury company equities, etc.). npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah This is the difference between 'tribe' and 'state.' What's good for the tribe is very often also good for it's members. Conversely, very often that which benefits the state only harms the individual. State level adoption of bitcoin is good for America. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Imagine you work for a powerful person, prone to violence. You are charged with managing your employer's finances. Now, imagine you have been quietly, imperceptibly, stealing from this employer for years. Eventually you become careless and increasingly bold in your theft. You now take stock and realize you have overplayed your hand. Your deception can no longer be concealed or embellished away. Knowing your discovery is inevitable, you are faced with two choices: make strategic plans to preemptively eliminate your dangerous boss before he kills you, or get your affairs in order. Choose force or suffer force. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah What the fuck. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Is Trump really dead? npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Ref lived for this moment. Technically undefeated. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah @nprofile…n966 I randomly think back to a post of yours from some months back about being unable to relate to normies. This metaphor sums that up so perfectly.... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah From Chadd Wright on Rogan. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Big Fish npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Why do some species live much longer than others? (another long-ish biology/Bitcoin analogy…) npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah So glad it's not true... crazy how it hit when i first read this. Goes to show how connected we all are. Never met the guy, yet felt like a gut punch to think he'd passed...... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah This is cute. Tradfi going through its requisite shitcoin phase npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah All true maps MUST align. There's a reason #bitcoin has all these serendipitous parallels with other intellectual disciplines (economics, biology, physics, cosmology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, etc.).... npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Normies are so lost. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah There. Three. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah This cover-up accomplishes two things: npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah What is dead may never die. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah The free market is the closest approximation of Nature functioning within human society. To claim that free markets exist in opposition to human nature is to claim that nature exists in opposition to human nature. Incoherent. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Wow npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah First name is Sauce... pretty cool npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Just came across this post again. It moves me as much now as when i first read it. Your father sounds like a good man. npub1njrxx64druwzxvexewj2ejg0upxp7ynd4m3a7tyfpp33fplz8ufq4z2hq2 Simon (2.₿y.2) Kofah Agreed. We see so many negative emergent properties from fiat. The emergent properties from building on bitcoin are hard to imagine. I suspect in retrospect, many years from now, it will look obvious.

He does all this in depth research and creates a prototype. The prototype ends up being a prosthetic beak. Because birds can fly. And birds have beaks. Obviously missing the point entirely of correlation vs causation.
