I wish I could find the person who first peddled the idea that humans are either left brained or right brained. I’d slap them for making it seem like I must be one or the other.

Creative or Logical.

I wake up everyday, early in the morning to write. Some mornings my logical brain wants to crunch numbers, iron out a plan, solve a problem.

Other mornings my soul takes over my fingers and lets things arrive from nothing.

I don’t get to decide when I’m creative or logical.

"Such possibilities notwithstanding, surely the most momentous consequence of the new digital currency will be the end of inflation and the deleverage of the financial system"

- Sovereign Individual 1997

Truly astonishing how the chapter on "cyber economy" quite literally describes bitcoin and AI agents.

Reading the Sovereignty Individual and having conversations with my cousin who is american and lives in Japan made me realize a pattern.

I live and work in America so I make my salary in dollars.
Vs my cousin who lives and works in Japan so he makes Yen.

Flip that and you see the pattern. Fiat is by decree of a sovereign.

I earn my money by decree of the United States.

My cousin by decree of Japan.

Earn in bitcoin and under what sovereignty do you lie?

Your own.

The heresy, the defiance in Victor Frankenstein's efforts to stitch together the limbs of the dead portrayed beautifully in Guillermo Del Toro's movie draws an uncanny parallel to today's tech elite stitching together the dead internet to give us AI.

We lean forward mesmerized by its whisper, believing it better than our own.

We've forked over handfuls of money seeking greater productivity and receive in return a monstrous pirouette of disjointed movements.

Those who've purchased shares have profited mightily, even as circular capital injections keep this monster alive.

The story of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has been with us since 1818. It has been butchered and adapted like a mirror reflection of the monster in the story for over a century.

Guillermo Del Toro has been trying to make his faithful adaptation for 20 years.

We now have a Frankenstein movie for this era, when its most desperately needed.

Ironically, I've just moved my node from my old ADSL Internet to my new fibre Internet. I sent a test zap from WoS and it failed. It never occurred to me that WoS was the problem 😂
