Yeah he does have quite the stamina lol. I can't do it either.

To stick my nose in where it doesnt belong, if you can't articulate what you think and believe, you don't really understand it. So, talking to people is a way to give them a chance to change your own mind more so than to change theirs, and if they can't do that, to give yourself an opportunity to understand your own view better and even change your mind when you arrive at an even more clear understanding. Attempting to change the mind of an entrenched ideologue is a difficult thing. It is likely to fail. If anything, passers by less invested in any point might be interested in understanding your view, even if they don't come to the same conclusion, that's more valuable than changing the mind of the person you're having a conversation with. But you must always enter them in good faith regardless, willing to change your mind, and expecting that the other is willing to do the same, at least until you see evidence of disingenuousness in them.

1000%. What streaming service is that on? Aaaaaaahahaha I'm just kidding my streaming service has everything for free. I don't watch much if anything nowadays though. I find that allowing the approved propaganda into my mind is damaging. The vastajority of it nowadays is mind programming thinly veiled in uninteresting garbage. Music though... Wouldnt it be cool if we could share our own stuff via torrents? Without some complex hosting setup, just create a torrent, seed it, announce it somewhere (like nostr) and be done? I quite like that idea.

I never stopped torrenting, never had one of these streaming service accounts and I'm never going to.

I have been summoned. It can't be done. No matter what metric you use to track, it will be to some degree inaccurate and will be gameable. Especially if you want a decentralized currency, suppose you say "the supply increase must track the price of table salt" well now any firm that can control salt production can manipulate the money. This is why we make these decisions about how money supply should work and say "as long as everyone knows how this works it won't shock the market." There are 5 primary ways to manage supply. Hard cap, linear emission, geometric emission (percentage supply increase per period), self regulating increase and the government decides. The last one is obviously bad, the others each have their pros and cons. Self regulating increase, where increase in purchasing power leads to people creating new co,ns, is the best. Gold has this, if the value of gold goes up people mine more gold. We don't have a way to do that with cryptocurrency, you need an oracle for purchasing power, which is a central point of failure. There could be some schemes, something like Monero's adaptive block size but more like an adaptive block reward, I haven't thought on this or come up with any schemes and haven't heard any. Seems pretty complex and probably not accurate and gameable. Besides that I think linear emission is better than the other two, it is predictable, and it aligns incentives on the network. I have a whole write up or two in my public bookmarks about this if you're interested. It also helps to understand this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_archetype

Lol you're still arguing with that guy? That guy is still trying to call you a Keynesian lol these people man.

That's a good take on that whole situation.

"Keynesian" is "racist" to these people. It's binary brain, they can't understand the that you can comprehend someone's ideas while not wanting to live with a system they would build. And most of them don't even know what "Keynesian" even means or what Keynes actually espoused, besides the simple central bank thing. They just toss it around like a dirty word to discredit people. Even reading what I'm writing right here is blasphemy to some, nuance = full throated endorsement to these retards. God forbid you actually understand the beliefs of your purported enemy.

What's fun on the internet nowadays? It seems like theres very little. Nostr can be fun. What else?

It's well reasoned, informed and factually correct actually, not laughable in the least. Here's a write up I did explaining the mechanics of this phenomenon so that you can better understand it:

That dude is pretty nasty. It's a shame, because he has insight. But he insists on being that way off the bat to people.

People trying to be bitcoin influencers without preparing for the vigilance with which they'll be received. There's still plenty of number-go-up maxis to prey on though. "Buy my book" smh. You've got to be genuine to have anything valuable to say.

I'm only half joking. I've heard the name, not much idea about anything else. I don't follow famous people and don't understand fetishizing them.

Who tf is Selena Gomez?

Peppermint OS had this software I think it was called iceSSB that was really cool, it was a site specific browser so you could make a particular site function like an electron app.

> Oh my god are people really still talking about the fact that the world is run by people who see the rest of us as resources to be used as desired with no regard for the morality of their actions? We have so much more important stuff to talk about, like stock price numbers and natural disasters that happen 2 or 3 times a year. It's insulting really that we have so many important things to talk about and all the people want to talk about is the government sanctioned worldwide slave market that harvests their children with impunity. Lol I honestly can't believe I'm the only person in my feed so far to talk about this, I'm usually the one not engaging in the political noise of the day.
