Thank you so much for your support Sydney! I am glad you enjoyed it and found value! I too must learn from the East! My Western brain is holding me back from getting a deeper sense of what Bitcoin is....

I grew up speaking Chinese and was immersed in eastern culture from a young age.

In my book, where I explore a lot of these ideas, I borrow heavily from eastern ideas and texts.

My advice for a similarly brainy western thinker: give space and time to cultivating the other side of the mind. The one that is absent of thought, focused on the present, and mindful.

It seems many answers are found there.

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: Bitcoin: The Architecture of Time What if Bitcoin is the only true measurement of time? Can it be the model of unification of time, energy, and memory? In this mind-bending episo...

There is so much I love about the work being done here and about the very existence of this discussion.

One point I want to call out is the idea that there is something about modernity that has cut us off from the ancient ideas that laid the groundwork for our modern era. Yet there is this sense that some knowledge is being gatekept today. We are in some sense being cut off from the source, and are supposed to receive our understanding from those who seek control.

It is reminiscent of the tension between the palace and the polis, and of the Reformation.

It lives in the idea that when there is corruption in Moneta, there is a corruption in memory.

There is something calling out for remembrance. There is a way that aligns us with the cosmic flow and leads to true understanding.

Appreciate you all. @Jack K @PlebNick @Efrat Fenigson

By its very nature, the mind's trains of thought are vulnerable to being hijacked by those who seek to manipulate and control.

What cannot be hijacked arises from a truth discovered only in the absence of thought.

We often discuss #Bitcoin and #AI as two different things, but they are both manifestations of the same underlying invention: the computer, Alan Turing's thinking machine. When we think about where this technology is taking us and how we should wield it for good, it is important we keep this unification in mind.

AI is here to potentially free us from the burden of labor to a degree never before seen in human history. Bitcoin is here to make sure that the wealth generated and the energy utilized is properly managed, and is done so fairly, honestly, without manipulation, central control, or extraction from one group to the other.

AI will bring about wealth generation, but this will only be experienced fairly and equally across all people if we have sound money through Bitcoin. These two heads of the same dragon are working synergistically with each other. We are actively watching AI harden Bitcoin and make the software stack more resilient to cybersecurity threats. Bitcoin will help seek out stranded energy, making it cheaper for the consumer despite the ongoing data center needs of AI.

The computer can either be used as a tool of enslavement or one that brings freedom and abundance. In order for us to wield the sword correctly, let us be sure that we are properly analyzing this tool as a holistic machine.
