I think race-realists tend to heavily discount the effect of religion and ethnicity. This is most easily explained by the fact that most of them aren't _completely_ WEIRD (i.e. Roman Catholic).

They have lots of smaller, weaker institutions and laws, but not The Institution and The Law.

That's why "Cradle Catholic" is a term, but "Cradle Methodist" isn't.

If you don't understand the lethargic way Ukrainians (and Europeans, overall) have responded to Trump's latest deals with Putin, it's because he's been doing this stuff the whole damn time and steadily wearing down the emotional, financial, and martial impact of it. He's mostly just irritating everyone and reminding us that he's probably placing bets about it on Polymarket or that one of his nepobabies is getting a great deal on copper in Aserbaidschan or something.

(Normally, that should be 110, as the attractiveness range is 20-points in either direction, with a curve peaking above her own, but I always shift right at least 10 because I'm good-looking enough to get away with it and women are thin on the ground up there. 😂)

2026-09-21T10:28:31Z

It's funny to me how wanting to regulate the AI industry is considered government overreach and centralization of power when the US, Chinese, and EU governments (among others) have been actively funding it, arranging the funding for it, changing laws to accomodate and promote it, and directing the development and implementation of it, the whole time.

There is, until now, absolutely no explanation for why any private person should be personally benefitting from the success of these projects, since none of the projects would be viable without everyone tacitly acknowledging that governments are underwriting their debt.

These have always been seen primarily as national security issues, not private science projects. That's why it's not treated as an asset bubble, even though these companies have no path to profitability: everyone knows their governments won't let them fail. Investing in AI is just another form of government asset, but with higher returns. Like investing in defense production.

This is not *Pets.com Part 2*, this is RheinMetall.

Just buy the fucking dip.

What frustrates me most about Nostr is how much some **developers just don't care about what kinds content creators actually publish**.

Our stuff drops off the timelines, and people's threads and feeds get thinner and thinner, but the devs don't respond by including the new kinds because they're only here to kind-1-shout-out at their fan club once per day or week or month, and then they go back to talking to their agents and collecting their monies.

Those devs aren't scrolling the feed or responding in threads, my frens. They don't notice that our stuff disappears and -- what is more -- they don't give a damn.

I don't know how assets can even be owned, when no one has jobs. If we all get AI-ABI, we'd all have the same income. Where does the money to purchase assets then come from? Savings? So we make the current wealth disparities permanent?

Or do assets just become worthless as a savings vehicle and we just divvy them up amongst the populace by who is most favored by the government?

✈️ Imwald Android airplane mode engaged.

I have used the flight to finally check and respond to everything my client loaded into the internal database, while I was in WiFi. (Outside of WiFi I use the low data mode, rather than full relays.) It is both an abundance of interaction, as well as an interaction that eventually ends. At some point, the locally-stored data has an end.

Thousands of notes. It moves quickly by. Every item in my feed, every embedded or quoted note, and entire threads. I can filter "To Me" or "From Follows". Feels so dynamic, but I am only publishing to my local relays and my cache database.

When I turn off airplane mode, after landing, it will immediately send everything I published to the cache DB, to the requested relays. And it will pull in newer events from all relays, including my local aggregator, Tor and I2P relays. And then I can put it back into low-data mode.

It is a bit counterintuitive, but this asynchronous design might be how we finally make alternative channels smooth to interact with. It might be how we consume hardly any mobile Internet or battery life, but stay widely-distributed and highly performant.

2026-07-02T09:28:16Z

One of the reasons I quickly soured on Anarcho-libertarianism was seeing how many of them don't believe in Natural Law. They just want to get away from their responsibilities to others and escape the consequences of their own actions. They are convinced that it is the federal government of whichever country they are in, that is holding them to a social contract they don't want to acquiesce to. But it is not the government that defines the social contract: it is the society. Societies under weak governments do not tend to treat the antisocial or wicked more leniently; they treat them more harshly. It costs the wider society a lot of money and resources, to tolerate people stepping out of line or shirking their duties.

For instance, they complain about marriage licenses, as they say the state shouldn't be able to prohibit marriages from forming. Marriages, after all, are part of Natural Order and a covenant between two people. The state shouldn't be involved in that formation, at all.

A marriage license doesn't define a marriage; it merely adds a marriage to an official registry. Marriage is Natural Law and common law encodifies that.

If it looks like a marriage.
And it sounds like a marriage.
And it acts like a marriage.
Then it is a marriage.

I agreed with this, but then I quickly found out that most of them didn't actually believe this. They were just upset about paying alimony or child support. Two things that have nothing to do with marriage formation. In other words, they want to enjoy marriage while it lasts, and then have the taxpayer or charities support their wife and kids when they tire of them or want an upgrade to someone YTH. But a wife and the children brought or born into a marriage, deserve to continue living a life similar to what they have been used to, even if the marriage is dissolved. That is the promise marriage gives women and children, by default, in the social contract. If you do not want this responsibility, then remain alone.

Or why Angie suddenly needed to invite the entire world to move here and get comfy, as if Germany were a global refugee camp run by the mafia.

And then they kept bailing out corporations during every crisis, and the corps did the only sensible thing and spent the money buying back their own shares and issuing bonuses because of the fantastically high share prices.

The German government spending more now is the result of them starving public services and defense for decades so that trains began derailing, bridges collapsing, school toilets molding, internet speeds never advanced beyond a crawl, and the soldiers were being trained to go to the front line and dance the silly dance, to see if the other side will fall dead of laughter.

They were thrifty, but they were also eating the seed corn and selling off the public goods. And wealth inequality increased over the same time. Where was that wealth taken from, why, where did it go, and how do we now claw it back?

2026-06-27T11:18:05Z

It doesn't make economic sense to not use the top-line AI and to not use it even harder. If you are not getting paid to dev, it actually makes _less economic sense_ to not just cough up the dough because you can use the time you have won to earn money doing something else (or to enjoy what you have built with the additional leisure time), which would quickly make up the difference.

Cursor Ultra costs €175, which is 13 hours of minimum wage work in Germany. Can I manage to lean hard into AI and squeeze out 13 hours of productivity gains?

2026-04-03T07:35:29Z

You can't eat Bitcoin.

You can't use it to fuel your car, airplane, truck, tractor, or to run your generator, fertilize your fields, heat your house, power your chemical refinement or desalinization plant, or transform it into plastics.

Bitcoin is an energy store, but you can only release that energy if you can trade your Bitcoin for energy. The market needs to offer the energy in trade. There needs to be market alignment.

A picture of a pipe is not a pipe.
A store of energy is not energy.
Money you can trade for food is not food.

This coming wave of consumer price inflation is an effect of true market scarcity of goods caused by global logistics interruption, analog to the COVID era. They will try to print money, to alleviate the pain of the missing goods, but that will just make the remaining goods more expensive (which Bitcoin *can* protect you against; that is its purpose).

Stack your sats, but also: plan accordingly and understand scarcity.

Basically, the bots have turned humans into bot spam. Even I am being turned into bot spam because I am reduced to talking about the humans I see talking about the bot spam.

*Just use better relays*, already. Why is this such an intractible issue? What are you doing? Why are you doing that? Why are you not doing something better?

Human, de-bot thyself.

Danes are upset because Stephen Miller wants to go a-Viking. Has a sort of irony.

What is a little rapine and plunder between friends, Denmark?

⚡🇩🇰 NEW - Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland : ‘I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying.’

Poor people don't read books. That is one major reason why they stay poor.

I have a house full of paper books, but you really would need a mansion with a large library, to fit in many more. Most are rotting away in the basement or in boxes in the closet. I do the middle-class thing and go to the library, but they are also space-limited, so some books I like borrowing eventually get taken out of the shelves.

E-books are much better, as you can have as many as you have digital storage space, but I didn't want anyone to change them from underneath me, so I went online and built software that keeps books on relays and allows every part of them to be cryptographically signed and the changes tracked. Which solves that problem.

And then, anyone with a cell phone can have access to any book I also have access to, since the relay is public. This was better, then going offline, with my paper edition of Frankenstein, and sneering at the commoners who can't afford to buy 500000 paper books.

2026-01-12T14:01:56Z

The things that are _good_ for the poor and downtrodden tend to be _even better_ for the powerful and well-connected, so it's not really possible to help the former without helping the latter even more.

Most people would probably just prefer to keep everyone down, rather than have to suffer the rich getting richer. This is, after all, the appeal of socialism. But it is also untenable, to stretch this financial inequality out further and further. At some point, the societal bands break and the economy collapses.

Hard money doesn't end this effect. It might actually compound it, as only the rich can then get credit to make investments, and you need a certain amount of wealth to purchase things that allow you to be more financially efficient.

Even Bitcoin is like this. Some people reject it because buying it invariably makes the larger hodlers richer. You gain purchasing power, but the people who have more Bitcoin take a cut off your gains, in addition to receiving the same gain.

The poor will always be with you.

2026-01-12T08:21:59Z

The idea that any craziness can be justified by polling the majority is crazy. The majority is sometimes crazy. A pure democracy is a menace. Majority rule, unfettered by the rule of law and separation of powers, is tyranny.

You know who has been voted into office?

Hitler, Stalin, The Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Kim Jong Il, Mao Zedung, Vladamir Putin, Nicolás Maduro

No, being voted into office does not make your government legitimate. Sometimes, it just means you rigged the vote. Sometimes, it just means that most of your country's voters are literally retarded.

One of the great ironies of democracy is that it doesn't prevent the voters from voting in someone who ends democracy. There are some votes cast, that are the final votes cast.

It's disconcerting watching Nostr devs promote the idea that LLMs can and *should* replace all human expertise, knowledge, ingenuity, creativity, and wisdom, so that persons with none of these can accomplish the same intellectual feats as those with lots of it.

I've never seen anyone ask the obvious follow-up question:

Why do you still need that person, then?

Because, then... you don't. You don't need a single person, of any type, anywhere.

This is the sort of thing we see being built here because the people paying for the building have an LLM to sell you and the pesky humans are just slowing the LLM down.

You are the intelligence they want to reduce.
