@MisterRogersSnapped one assumes the women can cook

@MisterRogersSnapped when your enemies are scattered before you to the sound of the lamentations of their women

@cjd it's still a fucking rag but that's where we are

@cjd you could track the descent into journalistic degeneracy by the proportion of actually interesting world events were only reported in the mail or the ny post

@magicat @cjd internet cats gifting cryptography white papers

what a timeline

@cjd killer if they want/can do it...

how private is monero? I've heard mixed reports, perhaps more because the fiat ramp tends to be BTC.

and do you foresee BTC gaining that level of privacy in the short/mid term? taproot etc. look promising but beyond my paygrade atm

I always read Nietzsche after reading Russell for any period of time; he's a fantastic philosopher imo but he was pretty dogmatic in a low-key kinda way.

His chapter on Nietzsche is both funny and revealing (in a ~confession by projection kind of way):

“It does not occur to Nietzsche as possible that a man should genuinely feel universal love, obviously because he himself feels almost universal hatred and fear, which he would fain disguise as lordly indifference. His ‘noble’ man - who is himself in day-dreams - is a being wholly devoid of sympathy, ruthless, cunning, cruel, concerned only with his own power. King Lear, on the verge of madness, says: ‘I will do such things-What they are yet I know not—but they shall be The terror of the earth.’ This is Nietzsche’s philosophy in a nutshell.”

@cjd nice, assuming they built your ideal digital euro, how do you see it's relationship to bitcoin?

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @11112011 just millenia of elites' historical collusion, other than that nothing concrete

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @11112011 Blackrock (the bank Larry Fink is in charge of) owns a similar amount of Twitter and I suspect he has a great deal more soft power (read CIA) who are willing to carry water for him (or vice versa)

@11112011 @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io shareholders just along for the gains/bootkink

@11112011 @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io the first boot is the guy who convinced the US govt to put his bank in charge of the financial bailouts, ESG, etc. etc.

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @11112011 and the second boot licks the first, yes

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @11112011 don't kid yourself
