You could easily search for them on the internet, but here’s one.

Albanese compared Gaza to Nazi concentration camps, stating it’s "the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century." This has been criticized as Holocaust inversion—a form of distortion that weaponizes Holocaust terminology to demonize Israel while diminishing the unique historical reality of Nazi concentration camps where millions of people were systematically murdered.

While it’s true there are poverty-stricken areas of Gaza which get highlighted in the media over the last 2 decades (that is, since Israel unilaterally withdrew from the region), there were a lot middle-class and wealthy. Most people don’t get to see (or don’t look) what Gaza was like but it used to have multi-story malls, mansions, car dealerships, and foodie culture, etc. In fact, even now, despite all claims of famine (which have been demonstrably proven false and quietly recognized by even the UN), there are numerous influencer Instagram accounts showing brand new cafes and restaurants. Today. You can look them up.

Words matter. Treblinka and Auschwitz, for example, didn’t have malls, restaurants, or car dealerships for its “inhabitants.” They had nothing to offer but death.

Gaza is under Hamas control (and to some degree, other anti-Hamas groups like the Popular Forces which are connected to what’s left of ISIS), and it built the largest civilian bomb shelter in human history underneath Gaza. Except, no civilians are allowed into it — only Hamas fighters. Hamas makes sure that its turned are guarded the ingress/egress is frequently under civilian homes, schools, and hospitals. All of this is documented.

But people like Francesca don’t want to talk about the horrors *Hamas* (the entity in control) is inflicting on the ordinary people of Gaza who just want to go about their lives. She doesn’t talk about how Hamas treated women or Christians in Gaza. She just wants to sensationalize and lie. The situation there is bad enough without that.

2026-05-14T15:53:11Z

Kurt Gödel, an Austrian logician working in 1931, proved something that broke mathematics. He showed that any formal system powerful enough to describe arithmetic contains statements that are true but cannot be proven inside that system. Mathematics, the most certain thing humans had ever built, has holes in it that can never be filled.

Hofstadter spends hundreds of pages making you understand this proof not just as a mathematical theorem, but as a structural fact about every sufficiently complex system. Including the brain. Including any AI. The reason AI alignment is genuinely hard is not just engineering. It is structural.

Any system smart enough to model itself will contain truths about itself it cannot reach from inside itself. Hofstadter showed this 50 years before AI safety was a field.

The second thing the book does is introduce his core idea. He calls it the strange loop.

A strange loop is what happens when a system, by climbing through layers of itself, somehow ends up back where it started. Escher's drawings of staircases that always go up but somehow loop back are visual strange loops. Bach's musical canons that modulate up through keys and end on the original note are auditory strange loops. Gödel's self-referential statements that talk about themselves are logical strange loops.

Hofstadter argues that consciousness is a strange loop. *Your brain builds a model of the world. Inside that model, it builds a model of itself perceiving the world. Inside that self-model, it builds a model of itself thinking about itself perceiving the world. The recursion does not bottom out. The self is what the loop feels like from the inside.*

This is the part that AI researchers cannot stop returning to. Modern transformer models use self-attention, which is technically a mechanism where a network attends to its own internal states across layers. Recursive reasoning, where a model thinks about its own thinking, is now a research area with its own conferences. Meta-learning, where models learn how to learn, is a direct descendant of what Hofstadter described in 1979 as the necessary structure of any conscious system. He wrote the philosophy. The engineers are now building the implementation.

Art critics… pfft.
Is there a job that adds less to society? I don’t think so.
Consider that, unlike *artists*, who earn notoriety (and money) for producing creative work that expresses something universal, or something personal, in a novel way, art *critics* literally only get famous for writing something nasty. No one pays attention to an art critic who writes POSITIVE things about a famous artist. Art critics are there parasitic high school mean girls of the art world. Starved for attention. Fed by jealous feelings for the success of others and sustaining their careers solely by attempting to “take them down a peg.” It’s a pathetic career choice for a failed artist.

Now, with that out of the way. That critic’s quote you pasted above has *some* merit against Banksy, as does yours. To your point, he seems to be generating the same message rather than pushing the envelope. Yet, why was it (y)our expectation that he “grow” as an artist? Perhaps he found his niche and feels the most important thing he can say, repeatedly, as you said is “Governments are bad. War is bad. Following other people blindly is bad.” You wish he took more risks as an artist the way he used to when you were 14 but, my point is, perhaps he is. Perhaps it’s not laziness that keeps him repeating himself. Perhaps it’s society’s persistent ignorance and the risk *he’s* taking is the same.

As for criticizing his commercial success, I dunno. That’s a bit like being unhappy that other people like your favorite local band. You liked them years ago, and then they got big, and now their 3rd album “sucks” because it sounds like the first, and you wish they’d branch out and take more risks, and are unhappy that floor seats at their sold out stadium show cost 5x a fancy dinner in the city. Right?

Personally, I think Banksy is laughing at Sotheby’s and its ilk. Laughing all the way to the bank. Let him continue to poke his finger in the eyes of the establishment. If that’s an easy message to understand, all the better. When it becomes a BORING message for people to understand, he will become less commercially successful.
But, you know, I think that once “war is bad” or “following other people blindly is bad” becomes boring a message, that would be the most positive outcome for both him and the world, actually.

Consider yourself fortunate to understand the message at an early age. Some (most?) people don’t, and others not until later (or maybe never).
Remember, too, that, just because *you* were exposed to his art and understood its message when you were 14, there are 14 year olds TODAY who aren’t familiar with Banksy’s back-catalogue. So this piece and its message are new *to them*.

A bitcoiner:

quoting
nevent1q…u7qc
After 10+ years and 30,000+ hours of studying the history of money, monetary failures, hard money systems, Austrian economics, and Bitcoin, a few conclusions become unavoidable.

Money is not created by decree.
It emerges as a coordination tool.
Societies converge on the hardest available money because it best preserves time, labour, and energy.

Throughout history, money has followed a pattern:

• Collectible goods become media of exchange.
• The most durable, scarce, and verifiable forms outcompete the rest.
• States later monopolise issuance.
• Debasement follows.
• Trust erodes.
• The system resets.

This cycle has repeated for thousands of years.

Gold was not chosen because it was shiny.
It was chosen because it was hard to produce, difficult to counterfeit, and costly to debase.
Those properties constrained rulers and protected savers.

The abandonment of hard money did not happen because it “failed.”
It happened because it limited political spending.

Fiat currency is not money in the historical sense.
It is a credit instrument backed by future taxation and enforced by law.
Its supply must expand to service the debt it creates.
This is not a flaw. It is the design.

Credit creation changes behaviour.

New money enters the economy through specific channels:
• Governments
• Banks
• Asset markets

Those closest to issuance benefit first.
Those furthest away pay through rising prices and declining purchasing power.

Productivity gains no longer flow primarily to savers or workers.
They are absorbed by asset inflation.

This is why wages lag prices.
This is why savings no longer work.
This is why speculation outcompetes production.

Austrian economics does not oppose growth.
It explains growth.

Real growth comes from:
• Capital accumulation
• Productivity improvements
• Time preference discipline

Hard money forces growth to appear as falling prices and rising purchasing power, not monetary expansion.

Under sound money, progress benefits everyone.
Under fiat money, progress is unevenly distributed.

Bitcoin is not an innovation in finance.
It is an innovation in monetary integrity.

Bitcoin did not invent scarcity.
It enforced it digitally, without trust.

Bitcoin is:
• Fixed in supply
• Permissionless
• Verifiable by anyone
• Independent of political systems

It does not promise yield.
It does not promise returns.
It does not guarantee adoption.

It simply removes monetary discretion.

Bitcoin does not succeed because its fiat price rises.
Its fiat price rises because fiat units lose purchasing power and more fiat flows into a fixed system.

Price is not value.
Value is preserved purchasing power over time.

Bitcoin exposes this distinction.

Most confusion comes from mixing frameworks:
• Treating Bitcoin as an investment instead of money
• Measuring success in fiat terms
• Expecting monetary neutrality from a debt-based system

Paper Bitcoin, custodial claims, ETFs, and derivatives reintroduce the very trust Bitcoin was designed to remove.
They may increase liquidity and price discovery, but they weaken monetary sovereignty.

Self-custody matters.
Running a node matters.
Using Bitcoin matters.

Money that is not used eventually becomes controlled.

The long arc is clear:
• Fiat systems require perpetual expansion.
• Expansion erodes trust.
• Trust loss drives capital toward harder money.

This is not ideological.
It is structural.

Bitcoin is not a revolution.
It is a reversion.

A return to money that cannot be altered, censored, or debased.

Whether it succeeds depends not on price, institutions, or narratives,
but on whether people choose to use it as money.

Hard constraints produce honest systems.
Honest systems produce long-term progress.

That is the conclusion.

I’m a retard in the terminal, but I’ll out up my ₿-aligned code of ethics on the table against the guy who created ordinals or Faketoshi. Ability to code isn’t the bar. Adherence to decentralized, distributed, secure, immutable, censorship-resistant money *is*.

And please, miss me with your “but is money SoW or MoE?” bullshit. Money is life energy stored in capital. Use it however you want.

I don’t typically indulge in schadenfreude, because I like celebrating when people succeed more than I like celebrating when they fail.

That being said, I follow rektbot (nprofile…vzly) because there’s a part of me that has no sympathy for the truly irresponsible people out there who use leverage AND bet against ₿.

From the article:

The new system applies to all non-EU Nationals who travel to an EU country for a short-term stay (up to 90 days within a 180-day period). The automated process requires valid travel documents and will collect biometric data, such as fingerprints and facial scans, as well as travelers' exact dates and places of entry and exit.

The Entry/Exit System (EES) is a new border crossing procedure that collects and registers the biometric data of non-EU nationals visiting European Union member states. The system, which is being implemented at both international train and airport terminals, "will replace passport stamping with digitally recorded entries, exits, or refusals of entry of non-EU nationals coming for short stays,” the European Commission said in a statement. “Travelers’ facial image, fingerprints, and personal data from the travel document will be also recorded. ”

Travelers will need to register in the system every time they cross a border entering or leaving the EU, but not when moving between EU member countries. This will be completed by border control agents at passport checkpoints, or via automated kiosks or eGates. The scheme is designed to identify suspected criminals, combat identity fraud, and to police the EU's limit on 90-day stays within a 180-day period, according to the European Commission.

The first time you enter an EU nation while EES is operational, a passport control officer will take a photo of your face and/or scan your fingerprints. (You can also register your data in advance by using the Travel to Europe mobile app.) After that initial scan, your information will be recorded in the EES system. Then, the next time you encounter an EU border check, an officer will either verify that your data matches (as opposed to taking your photo or scanning your fingerprints again) or, if available, you'll be able to use a self-service kiosk. Upon each border crossing, EES will document the date and place of your entry and exit.

The aim of the new system is to replace the manual security process of checking and stamping passports. The process is “time-consuming, does not provide reliable data on border crossings, and does not allow a systematic detection of overstayers (travelers who have exceeded the maximum duration of their authorized stay),” the Commission says. Ideally, the system is also meant to help cut down queue times, making for an easier and more streamlined airport experience.

While EES is designed to help streamline cross-border travel in the long term, travelers could experience delays as airports adjust to the new technology. Over the past few years, for example, there have been ongoing reports of travel disruption across the UK, and the new system will undoubtedly have some teething problems.
ACI Europe Director General, Olivier Jankovec, and Ourania Georgoutsakou, Managing Director at Airlines for Europe, have both expressed concern, saying in a joint statement: “The combination of full registration requirements and reduced operational flexibility is expected to place unprecedented strain on border control operations.”

First, you must recognize that humans are polluting the planet. From garbage in the oceans, to microplastics in our bloodstreams, to species collapse due to deforestation, there are many examples of human-caused degradation to the planet.

Second, you must recognize that SOME of humanity’s damage can be mitigated or offset through technological advancements in energy production, stabilization, transmission, and distribution. Generally, these are fall under the category of climate technologies. They do not simply reduce emissions, they enhance efficiencies.

Yeah, I’m not sure.

I vaguely remember Hammurabi’s code from ancient Babylon dated at least a thousand years before Zoroastrianism came on the scene, but most of the religions at that time were polytheistic, which is what made Zoroastrianism unique. Still, I thought the archeologists discovered calendars written in Hebrew back then, too. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some lesser-known (but no less ancient) Egyptian religion that’s still worshipping a Sun God, exclusively. But, I could be wrong.

2026-03-04T06:41:46Z

One of the things that surprised me about getting older, is how *absolute* young people are about their opinions. I mean, older I get, the LESS certain I am, about most things.

I definitely have a better understanding of what serves for me when it comes to my habits and methods (professionally), and am aware of intentional patterns of thought that are either constructive or maladaptive (personally), and I obviously have more life experience to draw from when making decisions (in both domains) but, even though I’ve collected more support for strongly held convictions, I’ve also maintained a sense of conservatism that I may not be 100% right, about most things in the world.

Does this resonate with any other mid-lifers out there? I don’t mean to sound like I’m making a “kids these days, amirite?” style of complaint. But, damn, when I see what’s expressed on social media, it makes me want to shake them and say, “You’re young. You don’t know anything, yet! Have some fucking humility.”

Of course, I’m sure I thought I knew everything when I was younger, too. I’m sure I was a pain the ass for many “grownups.” But I’m also pretty sure I wasn’t screaming in all caps at people, or crassly attacking anyone for pointing out my mistakes. I dunno. Maybe the anonymity of the Internet makes throwing tantrums through a keyboard socially acceptable, somehow — because trolling and shitposting became a fun pastime, because having an opinion (and sharing it emphatically and with 100% certainty) about literally everything became the default.

Just sayin’. The world (life, itself) is far more complex than some of these 20-somethings seem to recognize.
