Leaning towards buying property or living in a van.
In renting— it’s just too many leases (with ballooning anti privacy clauses) and insurance (with ballooning anti privacy clauses) and apps (with ballooning anti privacy clauses) and moving and negotiating costs against an irrational market and bad neighbors and bad community rules.
The middle ground of renting is fundamentally anti-freedom, mid curving day to day existence.
A solid home is a base, opens possibility. Paradoxically, a van opens possibility as well.

Telepathy and remote viewing studies were/are funded by the government. If telepathy were advanced to the point of control, it’s basically a Jedi mind trick. There might be something to it, but I doubt it has to do with midichlorians as described. I don’t know anything about moving physical objects with your mind, however.

2024-06-11 16:33:22

You can almost feel the neon street lights behind you, teasing you with a wild night back where the city is still alive, but your eyes stay focused ahead, on the dark strip: the abandoned sprawl that lies on the way to the new shore.
You’re ready to get away from downtown because lately it seems like you can’t even hear your own thoughts anymore. Maybe when you get to the beach you’ll figure out who or what is blocking you from listening to your inner voice. But then again, maybe not.
All around you, sand and silt infiltrates the parking lots and the ground floors of otherwise sound buildings, stale bogs. The fine mud sticks to the soles of your boots, suctioning the pull of each step.
Small pools of water begin to interrupt your path at an increasing rate. It’s difficult to tell for certain, but they might be releasing faint light. Your eyes are only human, anyway. As you get closer to the shore, whatever hints of brightness you think you might be seeing in the puddles is drowned out by the brilliant intensity you’re here to witness, the view that can wipe everything away, the glowing surf.
The edge is quieter than you remember. Liquids fill the nooks and dips of the land without noise and in no rush. Then, folding over, they recede. In some places the broth mixes, though the colors remain true and somehow resist becoming a dull tar. In another place, a vibrating stream of pink forms a ribbon through electric yellow goop, refusing to assimilate.
The surf seems to both suffer from and be invigorated by a uniform phosphorescence. Likely the remnants of some tritium disaster from not too long ago, not too far away. The countless other isotopes saturating the gulf remain unseen, but you are well aware that the radiation has left real marks on the DNA of the creatures that cling to life below the surface.
A small crab rolls into an old soup can, neon markings on its belly like alien glyphs, its arms seeking something in an uncoordinated way. It’s choking on a thin, glitter-purple sheath of synthetic bacteria. You remember reading in the logs about these bacteria, designed illegally in some basement of the city a decade ago. A desperate bid to help clean up some of the mess. Not exactly a shame, maybe something worse.
Trash floats between broken parking blocks and twisted railing and many items keep their form. You recognize the outlines of beer bottles, a soccer ball and a refrigerator door. All of them painted over in bright streaks of color.
The end of a slow wave carries a newspaper leaf before you and it clings to one of your boots. It’s an antique. The surf works its best magic on paper, fortifying the cellulose with heavy metals and keeping the text and images preserved. It’s a bleeding page advertisement, pristine except for the color. A woman holding a toothbrush smiles up at you with lime green lips, a shock of tangerine hair and electric blue skin.
You realize how shallow your breaths have been up to this point and let the salty breeze enter your lungs with the rapidity its been asking for.
What would your father think of all this? If he were still around.
And that’s it. You feel you have your thoughts back. You exhale and advance into the glowing surf.
Now you’re ankle-deep and you bend over to scoop up a conch shell that’s the size of your fist. You push your hair aside and put it up to your ear.
No hollow wind, no airy breath of the sea. An unnatural silence. Almost like a glitch…
You use a keychain LED to help you to see inside of the conch shell. There’s a wire… something that you might be able to jack into your system.
You pad the outside of your vest with your palm, hoping you’re carrying the right adapter. The last time you jacked into an unknown drive, you fried the adapter and your scanner was left wide open to hackers. You told yourself you’d learned your lesson. But did you really come all the way out here to stop taking risks?
You locate the right adapter under a mess of tangled wires and batteries in your pocket, still in its second-hand plastic bubble re-packaging. You bust it free and use it to plug into the conch shell.
A semi-transparent holographic window projects from inside the conch. The slow, thick waves behind it begin to appear almost volatile through the image.
The screen displays jumbled characters in a garbled list that doesn’t obey clean columns or rows. New text blazes forth, scrolling on its own as though consumed by some need to be seen but it’s much too fast for you to read.
It could be the remnants of a menu from a corrupted drive or maybe it’s something more exotic like dynamic encryption.
It stops and goes dark. Shit.
You check the adapter—it’s not obviously burnt. Still, you hate how you’re always taking unnecessary risks and for what—a random seashell?
Maybe there’s an easier way to find the data…

Cope for what? I have nothing to say about science policy because that’s not something I have a background in, but I doubt policy people would want to be cavalier with an unknown virus. Things like the viral origin, effectiveness of the vaccine and severity of covid and if/how it would mutate were unknown. And fyi no scientists I know thought the lab leak was outlandish. Most were like 5050 but you don’t go around accusing people before you know more. You don’t know until you know.

1 says nothing about policy or vaccines or masks etc. You were just simply incorrect about risk factors right off the bat which makes me think it’s a waste of time walking you through some other items.
Some of your complaints here are also Monday morning quarterbacking. You didn’t know on day one any of the claims you made here. Nobody did, it took time and research to properly grasp the problem. Pretending that scientists efforts were evil frankly puts a target on my back when we were working very hard to get things right. There is no guarantee one can produce a cure every time and on a short schedule, whether vaccine or drug. Getting treatments out that reduce hospital loads and have the potential to restart the economy would be a big win, even if not a full on cure.
Additionally the severity in symptoms reduces over time because of survivorship bias and mutation— many viruses evolve towards being asymptomatic as a means of survival. Saying covid is no big deal now is not very controversial, but the viruses floating now are not the same as before and not infecting the same susceptible population.

2024-06-04 23:10:40

I mean you just admitted you were minimizing the problem by adding more risk factors. Many people died including otherwise healthy healthcare workers and I would call that a big deal but we can differ on that point.

The total dysfunction of fiat payment systems that run critical infrastructure (eg, retirement accounts, healthcare, payroll) is so unbelievably bad… in my life I’ve had thousands and thousands of dollars I’ve paid disappear with various third parties picking up the pieces months later and after late fees have accrued. (Not to mention they’re selling your private info.)
It’s really astonishing and if I didn’t have a good paying job I would be stressed the fuck out every time I had to put up $5k here and there to cover their asses while their systems settled. It’s unconscionable… I think back when I was poor and these issues would’ve meant having to pull a credit card and go in high interest debt to continue feeding myself.
Absolutely turns my stomach, I feel sorry for everyone not on a #bitcoin standard yet.

Trying to wrap my head around eth becoming a #bitcoin L2 through roll ups (as a non tech person). So eth is stamping its records on btc, ok, but what happens when Vitalik wants to reverse a transaction again (or do any fundamental policy change)? Doesn’t he (and/or a DAO I don’t know how their governance works) just “vote” to say they’re starting a new series/fork of “true eth” roll ups that the community will have to follow? How does that transfer any of bitcoin’s security to eth? Centralized L2s can always make a new sequence of rollups cant they? Nobody is holding them to the old, as far as I can tell.
