Is it ok if my eulogy says that I wrote it myself?

The cleanest baseload energy isn’t fusion. It’s already under your feet.
Deep geothermal: 400°C rock exists everywhere on Earth. The physics is solved the only bottleneck is drilling cheap enough to reach 15km.
Millimeter-wave drilling melts granite instead of grinding it. Crack that, and you get limitless, weather-independent power anywhere even under existing cities, reusing dead fossil plants’ grid connections.
Fusion is a 30y bet, but deep geothermal is an engineering problem we can solve and start building right now.

You can count on uncertainty
We didn’t have an enlightenment just so we could disagree on what we believe in.
We had an enlightenment just so we had the tools to end ideology.

We do not need to agree on opinion.
But we absolutely need to agree on the definitions used to form that opinion.

The value of influence is not measured in accuracy, nor in excellence.
Influence is a market for attention, and the most valuable currency in that market is confident certainty. Which is precisely why being wrong, loudly, often outperforms being right, carefully.
What looks like sincere conviction is frequently a deliberate performance. The influencer’s true motives are monetization, ideological capture, ego, allegiance to undisclosed interests stay hidden behind a mask, because transparency about strategy would collapse the very trust the strategy depends on.
Moral language is the preferred camouflage: by framing self-interest as righteousness, the influencer weaponizes the audience’s conscience against its own skepticism, making disagreement feel not merely incorrect but shameful.
Ethical influence can exist, when the incentive is not ideological.

The question is have is; how hard do I want to be governed. More taxes and more regulations seem inevitable for the machine to sustain itself.
When will I sacrifice my current comforts for the open s...
The question then becomes: "what can your government do?"
Can they tax you, more than you want to be taxed?
Can they restrict you from traveling?
Can they confiscate your property?
Do they know, or can they prove what you own?
Is it possible to prove that you don't own what they claim you do?
If it's impossible, what will a judge say?

For those that are winning, the incentive to understand the rules of the game is to learn how to cheat.
Wishing for it to be any different is naive.
Go ahead and trust them when they say "tax the rich", "capitalism is bad", or other such nonsense.
Start playing the game, or keep on bitching about it, but don't ask me to give you something for nothing.
Risk rewards, false security does not.

You are being governed, but what does that mean?
It is assumed that policy has nothing to do with strategic opacity.
Ambiguity is a tool that is being used in the favor of the policy maker.
Where is the incentive to be transparent?
You've already lost trust, admit it.
All you have to do is act accordingly.
Study, read, make up your own mind.
#Bitcoin doesn't require trust, it is verifiable.
