Interesting. Must listen now for all the good details. 🤘
The "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" is a lecture series by John Vervaeke that explores the modern crisis of meaning, despair, and disconnection that many people are experiencing. Here are the key points about it:
The meaning crisis refers to the increasing sense of meaninglessness, bullshit, disconnection from self, others, the world, and a viable future that people are feeling today.[2] This is tied to crises in mental health, environment, politics, and culture.
Vervaeke argues this crisis stems from the breakdown of our "two-worlds mythos" - the worldview separating the everyday world from a higher-order, truer reality that gave meaning and purpose. This mythos arose from the Axial Age revolutions but is no longer tenable in our modern scientific worldview.[4]
To solve the meaning crisis, Vervaeke aims to re-engineer enlightenment and wisdom within a scientific framework, allowing us to cultivate self-transcendence, insight, and deep meaning again.[4] This involves addressing our "perennial problems" - the vulnerabilities that make us susceptible to meaninglessness.
A key part is Vervaeke's theory of "Relevance Realization" - the cognitive machinery that helps us skillfully connect and cohere with reality in a participatory way to make sense of our experiences and find relevance.[4][5]
The series draws from ancient figures like Socrates and the Buddha, as well as modern thinkers like Jung and Heidegger, to provide a coherent path for awakening from the meaning crisis through rational reflection and transformation.[2][3]

He is visibly shook. The foundation for his logic on why he hasnt supported Bitcoin foss is very shakey and he is smart enough to know that.

Its market cap is big enough and it “gave away” enough eth early enough to enough retard SF tech heads to support enough bribes to keep it going.

Bitcoin and Nostr, although they seem like a large enough group (devs and contributors) is still relatively minuscule in the grand scheme of things (software industry). I’m not disagreeing with anyone here, but simply pointing out that as a result of how small Bitcoin and Nostr still are, it is expected that people and projects will overlap (like a small town where the sheriff os also the town dentist, lol). In any case, people get too fucking triggered too fucking fast. Calm down, the truth always reveals itself. Embrace low time preference, and keep shipping, or shitting, the choice is yours. 🧡🧡

But if ARK funds a core dev directly, then how will ARK use what they funded as a tax deduction when the core dev is unlikely to have set up the proper corporate structure to enable such a transaction?
