The American libertarian argument fundamentally comes down to the notion that Thomas Jefferson erred in restating Locke’s “life, liberty, and property” to the more radical “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.” Libertarians believe they are correcting this historical error. https://www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-crisis-no-14

OpenClaw is incredible. As some know I have a background in software engineering and I’ve played extensively with it. But people should understand how insanely insecure it is. People are going to be learning what a “prompt injection attack” is in pretty catastrophic ways.

I was just researching this. I’d only use it with a brand new machine, with no access to keychain or any other private data. The skills and add on ecosystem is ripe for security threats. Many of which are targeting crypto wallets.

I wrote this back in February. A good half of my friends (mostly now former) thought it was TDS. Literally every fear I had came true with deadly accuracy. https://www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/this-is-an-emergency

Steve Jobs’ legacy may seem somewhat askew from current events. But given the industry he was once seen as the leader, has betrayed everything he was, it’s worth a little cul-de-sac. He wasn’t a perfect man. But he changed things. https://www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-crisis-no-5

Yes. If everyone knew the same things you knew, and wanted the same things you wanted, and had the experiences you experienced, they’d be on Nostr. Because they’d be you. And there’d be nobody to talk to.

If every Bitcoiner was in Bitcoin for the revolution, for the technology, and for what Bitcoin could truly mean for the future of the world, they'd be using Nostr already. They're not in Bitcoin for the same reasons that you're in Bitcoin. That's a hard truth that needs to be und Show more
