Question for #nostr #asknostr Why do you think libertarianism has largely failed as a movement, or not garnered more widespread popularity? Arguably the right and the left have never advocated for mo...

Great book, one chapter dives into how Clinton and GOP were spooked when Perot won such a large % of popular vote. They addressed the debt with paygo, and also (not in book) made lots of changes to how debates happened and thresholds, worked with media to disincentivize platforming 3rd parties, and putting effort into making silly things (like not knowing “Aleppo”) a bigger deal than they are.

The duopoly does not want more competition or democracy, they want power and will go to great lengths to keep it.

Killed my goal pace of 7:30 at the hot chocolate 15k today; honestly shocked myself. I thought it was aggressive… beat it by 16 seconds every mile 😳

Three freedoms from David graeber- to relocate, to say no, and to form social relationships.

If you cant relocate you are not free. To me that’s the saddest part of Palestine, a good smart person has no chance to participate because n a meritocratic competition, they’re stuck where they are born at birth.

Unpopular opinion: The US debt spiral doesn’t matter nearly as much today as many people think it does. Even at these higher interest rates. Someday, it will matter very much. But we are YEARS aw...

Strong agree, and I think there are very few bitcoiners aligned with us. It might matter in a decade, but so long as the us is the “best house in a bad neighborhood” our debt is going to be in demand.

Give the landlords and 401k millionaires a scare in their assets and many will look for safety in 4-5% bonds, even if it doesn’t keep up with inflation.

#ProofOfWork - the goal was a 6 hour half-Ironman. I was way ahead of pace till the last 7 miles of the run, when my hamstring and then my caves cramped up.

The mantra for today was “every second counts”- and 6:00:29 rounds down to 6 hours even. A perfect day; next time I will focus a bit more on nutrition and transitions, keep on improving g.

Oh, and this does beat my previous PR by about 40 minutes

Frustratingly, was 0.06 miles short of my goal today of 3 miles in 20 minutes, second time I missed it. Hopefully 3rd times a charm; considering the 3rd lap was at a 6:20 pace I know I can do it if I pace better early on.
