It's 2 days after Biden has pulled out. Harris has absorbed all the funds (my understanding is that is what happens because she's on the same ticket with Biden). "I have enough delegates behind me." Record donations flowing in. Most competitors falling in line.
It's hard to not look at this and see a carefully orchestrated campaign to put Harris on track for president when she likely wouldn't have stood a chance in an open democratic primary. Given the war chest she now has, she is the de facto candidate. Others that for sure have ambitions are falling in line because they understand this and want to maintain their chances of at least securing senior positions given the biggest role is now out of reach.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party voters had zero say in who their candidate is. This is not a partisan issue. This is blatant undermining of the democratic process, and it should worry everyone - within the US and in the Western world.

If you think about what the digital fabric of information, knowledge, time, and money should look like in an ideal world there's just no way to not see #Nostr and #Bitcoin as far superior approaches to what (most of us) grew up with.
Lyn's article is great at explaining this. It takes brain washing - in a good sense - and unlearning what has been indoctrinated to get there, but it's worth it.

If you're an institutional investor and you've got cash this is an amazing environment to buy stakes in high quality start-ups. And on top, you can take out existing investors starving for cash at rock-bottom valuations. Assuming you didn't follow the blitz-scaling herd in the past few years and are stuck with a portfolio of cash incinerators.

Those advocating the end of fossil fuels and nuclear energy might want to read up on humanity’s previous regressions into statist society:
"The Dark Ages were a massive experiment in the back-to-the-land hippy lifestyle (without the trust fund): you ground your own corn, sheared your own sheep, cured your own leather and cut your own wood. Any pathetic surplus you generated was confiscated to support a monk, or maybe you could occasionally sell something to buy a metal tool off a part-time blacksmith. Otherwise, subsistence replaced specialisation." (Matt Ridley, The Rational Optimist)

#ChatGPT helping me make sense of Kruse (removed qualifiers and disclaimer language):
Dr. Jack Kruse is a neurosurgeon who has formulated theories based on the principles of quantum biology. One of his ideas is that the sun acts as a cathode, donating electrons to the Earth and to the cells in our body. In this view, he suggests that our cells act as anodes, receiving electrons from the sun and using them to produce energy through a process called photoelectric effect.
According to Dr. Kruse, sunlight contains a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that includes visible light, UV light, and infrared radiation. These forms of radiation interact with the electrons in our cells, causing them to become excited and enter a higher energy state. This leads to the release of excess electrons, which are then used to create a flow of electrical current in the body, much like in a battery.
Dr. Kruse suggests that the energy from the sun is captured by pigments in our skin, such as melanin, and that these pigments act as semiconductors, allowing the flow of electrons between the skin and the underlying tissue. This flow of electrons can help to power metabolic processes in the body, such as the production of ATP in the mitochondria.

2023-05-03 16:26:14

Kruse:
“So what is the purpose of blood when you have a quantum mechanical understanding of what semiconductors are capable of doing? Basically it creates the wireless system that connects the cathode ray the sun to the anodes in you - that's how information is transferred wirelessly."
From Part 2 of this 🤯 session between Kruse, Huberman, and Rubin.
#[0] thanks again for pointing this out - a truly remarkable conversation with deep ideas. My take: Kruse is not great at explaining. Huberman is, and he reaches a lot of people. If anyone with access to Huberman could get him to do a post-mortem to tie it all together that would be 🔥

Perhaps - but I’m skeptical. The people I know who think this way believe it. That nuclear energy is dangerous, that Bitcoin boils the ocean, etc. The truth is out there, but people chose to read and watch sensational and easy to digest information. Doing the work on understanding power markets is way more time consuming than chiming in and pick on an easy villain.
I take comfort from David Deutsch:
“Knowledge is information which, when it is physically embodied in a suitable environment, tends to cause itself to remain so.”
Or voting vs weighing machine from Buffett.
Truth is hard, it takes time, it will instantiate itself, one bit at the time.

The NYT just writes what people want to hear - whether true or not. This is a deliberate strategy, not incompetence.
That’s harder to accept than thinking there just a few bad reporters out there. It’s a generation of bad ideas and brainwashing that are the real issues. I doubt that going after the NYT will fix that.

GPT on money and banks:
“Money used to mean something,
It was worth a lot, or so we thought.
But then the banks began to falter,
And our savings soon were all for naught.
The government stepped in to help,
With bailouts left and right.
But all that money printed up,
Made our cash worthless overnight.
So now we're left with stacks of bills,
That can't buy much at all.
We might as well use them as kindling,
To start a fire in the hall.
Oh, money, how you've lost your worth,
In the midst of all this fuss.
But at least we can still laugh about it,
And that's worth more than a few bucks!”
