Exactly where they want us

I get that it’s difficult to read. We should be direct, this work is not for everyone, but this work is for anyone. Without explicit claims, this is the science of philosophy, grounded in temporality. We are describing the process that is meta to our existence from temporal observation in Bitcoin...

My statement was in part based on past interactions where you assert things like "temperature is a ratio". And now you're saying that bitcoin "literally produces time", which, at least to my eye, can't mean what it seems to mean given that time predates bitcoin. Also, if bitcoin's a good predictor or model, I'd like to see the equations that naturally fall out of it used to build a bridge, cure cancer, or predict the movement of the stars. Also, given the potential for a reorg, it seems weird to call bitcoin "empirical truth".

Most of this is in our paper. Have you read it? Or are you basing this on my nostr posts alone?

bitcoin is thermodynamic proof of work. it captures energy in time via hash rate. reorgs are solved by the longest chain; that is the objective empirical truth of the network. build bridges with steel.

I'm not the only one to have pointed out that your work seems to be built on a number of assumptions that profoundly fly in the face of what seems to be the case, and how things seem to actually work. And perhaps the traditional explanations are wrong but given that they're simultaneously more thorough and more predictive...

It's scary when, instead of wanting to try to regulate themselves so they won't misuse a power against us, they want to regulate away an opportunity from us "so they won't have the chance to misuse it against us". "You can't have car's because we can't be trusted to not drive them into you."

Whenever I need to write a really scathing email to somebody I dump my raw thoughts into Claude. Like… “You stupid piece of shit. I am not doing that ever. EVER. DO YOU FUCKING HEAR ME? Dumbass....

Today my openclaw told me that I was being rude, and that my rudeness was taking away from the point I was trying to make after I told it that "its followthrough and sticktuativeness is about as good as that of a 13-year-old girl who wants nothing more than to disappoint". I disagreed.

Too bad for them that's just a caricature.

It's interesting to me how we've all had the experience of meeting someone only to realize that they're nothing like what we were led to believe, and that much of what we know of some of these leaders is basically editorialization from a media who hates them, and that nobody ever seems to notice that. I sometimes wonder who they really are.
