    I would agree that those things weed out the unprincipled ones.
  2. Strictlylogical
    I wonder who at root is actually more principled... Bannon or MTG... only those who have known them for a greater part of their lives would likely know that for certain. A hypothetical litmus test I use sometimes is to ask whether a person would be just as happy: being anonymous / having the cause message or thing done, versus being visible personally, and famously as having taken part in it. Principled people are not out for fame or credit but the aims, goals, and principles for which they are fighting.

    aw geez say it ain’t so… is she a plant or a Desanctimonious creature or genuine but just off on a few specific issues?

    nvm

    Yes. I’ve heard it said Control the money and you control the world, but as long there is free will you cannot control the money without already controlling everyone in the world… the biggest blind spot in those wanna be psyops overlords is they do not see that in the final inch humanity will not be controlled… a desire for freedom is not a bug, it’s a feature built into every one of us even if we forget from time to time.

    I've never been the kind to take a stand against natural temporary so-called monopolies, but it seems to me that recent history has illustrated that individuals should take the time to foster a sort of local, independent, thriving economy-system, with diverse individual citizens and small businesses interacting in the real world, rather than allowing themselves through laziness to get addicted to an isolating and monolithically centrally planned set of distribution systems... not sure if I have stated that clearly...

    Has anyone wrote about the relationship or correlation between decentralization ( and although I hate to say it) / diversification and freedom/humanity?

    I never thought to hear such a thing stated in earnest, let alone ever to live in a time when it needed to be said, nor in my wildest dreams thought I would smile so much as so simple and obvious a statement. chuckling and smiling, SL

    I agree with you there… gold and silver. No one is wholly static, determined, or immutable. We have identity, but we are free willed and by degrees self made and the interplay of what we are, what we are becoming, and the world that is, have periods of accelerated compounding causation… such as the “interesting times” of now. It is the Times and Issues like these which are the crucible in which our characters are forged… it was ever true of the villains and heroes that arose in such times throughout history… and that goes for Elon as well. With bated breath, my fingers are crossed but I am smiling rather than cringing.

    Shifting perspective on this, from a certain view everything about this seems beneath a reality based philosophy, and people of action who hold it. I cannot imagine the heroes of Rand's books having a serious inquiry into what to call what they believe, or what to call people who hold those beliefs, and just when and where a belief or a person should be called something different. On the one hand one might say that it's akin to categorization, conceptualization, genus and differentia and all that sort of thing.... it's just what philosophers do from time to time. But the protagonists of Rand, as most human beings, would not have bothered with the labelling, affiliation, or marketing, of their ideas or any kind of "ownership" or "membership" worries... after all people of action are not metaphysically vulnerable to those types of qualms... who or what is in or outside of some club. There is only noncontradictory identification and action. We have the smell here of a sort of collectivism and a flavor of tribalism of ideas, which tribe does this idea belong to (as if ideas AS SUCH had owners) and which tribe are you a part of, publically affiliated with, and defined by? I get the impression Biddle has it right, and that in his mind he affords this the level of importance and significance it deserves... but feels he has to talk about it.

    Although Bitcoin cannot be stolen from you or seized, in a surveillance state your ability to transact through all the magic boxes can and would be limited, access to the net, banking, and transactional systems could be restricted to those willing to undergo bio-verification or other ID protocols, transactions could require separate records of what you paid X bitcoin for, who you are, where you were when you authorized it banks, banking systems, credit transactional systems etc.could be required to only authorize the initiation of transactions to people with social credit and who have not done, said, bought, donated to, the wrong things, in addition to the required biometrics or other ID protocols if you did the wrong thing with your "bitcoin", sure they couldn't literally take it... but they could put it in prison by denying your access to the internet infrastructure, credit and banking systems... although arguably better than CBDC, I'm not sure how much better it would be in a surveillance state. Anyone want to present arguments countering this?

    The magic box with lights tells me it is installing software that works in a certain way. The magic box tells me the little lighted box on its face runs "Bit coin" stuff. The little lighted box says things about security and keys... and appears to "work" .. it also does so apparently because of invisible spirit messages that pass between magic boxes and big towers with metal ears... and bigger boxes in big buildings. The men who make and take care of the buildings, the men who make and take care of the big boxes, the men who make and take care of the towers with metal ears, the men who invented and monitor the invisible spirit messaging, the men who make and take care of the little lighted box, and the men who make the magic box with lights, they all tell me that I can and should trust them that I can deal and trade "directly" with another person, without any intervention or interference or invasion of privacy or interruption or error or bias or problem or fraud of any kind ... and they tell me the same promises were made to the another person by another similar or same chain of men... and boxes and towers and blinking things. Never will there be ONLY two people, some equivalent of a piece of gold, and a direct meeting of the minds... in the context of any computationally dependent transaction.

    Many will push a false credibility, a false idea of superiority, a false sense of infallibility, associated with AI. They will proclaim that it is impartial, logical, objective... and no matter how much they can fool the masses into believing it is independent, they will directly or indirectly own every little part of it and everything it says, and it will eventually micromanage everyone into nonhumanity. It's a slow progression from: We own the science -> we own the AI. The Predator Class vision is this: AI government will become the new God for the slaves, while in fact being the farmhands tending the herds on their behalf... of course they are so hypocritical as not to see anything morally wrong here.. quite the contrary, they are saving the slaves from themselves. Our culture will either fall prey to this sort of thing or not... either way, it will get what it deserves.

    This is a clear signal of the utter decline of the west, abdication not only of individual personal judgement but of judgement as such.

    Sounds like too much central planning for my tastes. I like the idea that some people grow food because other people eat and some people learn to cut hair because other people trade for haircuts. The arrogance and hubris of technocrats thinking they can formulate the "correct" systems, the right centrally planned machine into which humans can be integrated IS the problem... I don't want MORE of that to function as any kind of "production" or "distribution" system... if anything, at this point in history humans need decentralization, of government, of media, generally of any power, agency, network of relationships... of all so called "systems", decentralized back primarily to individuals, families and communities, and away from the central planners.

    Will there ever be a version of bitcoin for which there will be absolutely no middle men? Once after having bit a little gold coin, I would simply trade man to man, real world stuff, on its being genuine. If I am correct for a Bitcoin transaction, we send ones and zeros (keys or codes) over a third party device, over a third party satelite/cable/fiber ISP, to a third party repository/calculation house (computing platform) that does something and sends back verification or keys or codes back down the chain. Oligarchs and central planning tyrannical government are not only in the process of destroying money as such, they are and have also destroyed trust, so that any alternative appears not much better.

    Back in day clothing and toy companies got smart (tricksy?) when they realized they could reduce hand-me downs between boys and girls in the same family of they started selling the idea of "genderified" clothing or toys which previously were non-gendered... pink or blue of practically the same items would be sold rather than a single white one... they sold more stuff as a result... now they didnt resort to divisiveness and insults, they expanded their product lines "for" consumers... heh Ina similar vein Anheuser-Busch could have left Bud Light alone as a "nontribal let the people drink it" beer, and started a new set of Tribal brands of beer... maybe with minimal changes to the recipe to reduce any additional manufacturing costs... specifically LGBTQ or Black or Female or whatever LEFTist segregated grouping they wanted... of course non-tribalists would stay away from such brands while tribalists could go and proudly consume them... there would a little backlash at AB doing this at all, but no where NEARLY as bad as the level of backlash that comes from insulting your existing customers and why they love the brands. Tell your customers we don't need you and we don't want you to buy our products... and they should and will literally walk away.. and we have the evidence now. Soooooo stupid.

    Yeah... So to prove your point, you write down some what she said looking for agreement AND dislike and then show she does not have support ok. point unproven If you want to say she does not have support just say that. Not some weird thing about dis-likability and agreement.

    MSK: Surely Putin or Zelensky or both are in on it with the Thing, if not literally part of the Thing. Faking an attack, or failing at an attack, and who does it, (as long as no one important actually dies) really does not matter as long as it has the desired effect. I am shocked the media would even hint at the puppet show having any puppetry whatever. The audience should never see the strings... especially when they are tied directly to them.

    Those who "think" they agree with MTG, and/or who delude themselves into the "idea" that they agree with her, may very well feel a dislike for her. BUT if they were capable of introspection they would realize that their dislike stems from a disdain for people who speak their mind directly, without pretense, without playing to egos or status, without obsequious deference to her betters... they would realize they believe in "classes", in "pull", in "obedience" to others because of "who they are"... they would realize they do not really believe in Freedom for All, or Equality before the Law, or Individual Rights... after all such things are inevitably so... "distasteful" and "impertinent". ... but they are not capable of such introspection, so they will pretend and believe they agree, while staring down their noses at her. It's not worth our breath to consider those people so out of touch with what they really stand for, nor to bemoan their lack of support... they were never with what MTG represents.

    I don't know if I want to get into it too much... on the surface (summary) it seems to me like the Breggins are advocating for moral responsibility and free will in their critique of the book, accusing Desmet and Malone of ignoring such, and hence are victim blaming. The implication by Breggins is Desmet and Malone are (knowingly or not) working for the predator class to excuse the atrocities thereof. Is this a fair summary? Oddly enough both sides seem to be raising awareness, however only one seems more concerned with fighting the black tide of death and the other merely with explaining it (and accidentally excusing it)? For O'ists Freewill exists and is the only basis for moral responsibility and evil... if Malone and Desmet do not believe in free will, that would be a big reason why moral responsibility and evil would be mostly absent from their works.

    Doesn’t running with the establishment deep state always come with whispers promising success and protection? Little birdies telling him he will prevail… of course he doesn’t see it. BUT do THEY see it? Are they using him … and to what end?

    Isn't that moral religion akin to holding as every individual human being sacred an end in himself?

    I'm not sure where timestamps are or why you are talking about them ... anywho... looks like the video is up to 18Million views now, and the tweet is up to 59.7Million views! I'm not a twitter user but that seems pretty good!
