Oddbean new post about login | logout Bitcoin is Spanish. Spanish is Latin, after some softforks for 1500y, like segwit and taproot for Bitcoin. English is a shitlang and a scam. Get out of the scam.
He says in English
English is not a shitcoin dude.
Yesssssssss. Goooooooood. https://image.nostr.build/1aca558c2ddb6cc1c7281e78854785fc5030e549a40f1829ead8d62d3c04ef45.jpg
Sí, bien
It literally is. Definitions of words are constantly changed, especially legally.
No they’re not. Ive never seen an update about words removed or meanings changed from the English language… or indeed any language. We roll onwards , additions yes , changes over time okay. But definitions changed constantly!! Sauce ?
Let's do IRS legal definitions: "person" [26 USC 7701(a)(1)] - commercial entity and/or their employees "trade or business" [26 USC 7701(a)(26)] - the performance of the functions of a public office "employee" [26 USC 3401(c)] - an officer, employee, or elected official of the United States, a State, or any political subdivision thereof, or the District of Columbia, or any agency or instrumentality of any one or more of the foregoing. The term “employee” also includes an officer of a corporation All of which are misapplied to 99.9% of men/women in the US to make you think the tax code applies to you
I’ll accept a lesson on this , sure does look like words and meanings can be updated by your government to extract more taxes. This does actually make me quite sangry 🧡
Disagree. It is literally open source language. It's the bitcoin of languages. It literally can co opt any other languages traits and use them to its advantages. Throw away the bad ones and keep what works. This is why it's so hard to learn, there are so many words taken from other languages hence similarities like there, their &they're. Its the assimilation of THOUSANDS of years of human communication protocols. 26 letters with sounds for each. Simple rule set, complexity downstream. Whatever you do with it is up to you. Chinese ( mandarin) is complexity from the get go, rigid in its design , complexity on its character creation. Complex at the onset, dumb downstream.
Sounds like Ethereum what you are describing.
Nope. Don't think so, nobody is in charge of what is a "word" in English. All thats needed is consensus by the majority.
Rizz is a word now. My phone doesn’t even label it as misspelled.
What about pronouns and #woke bullshit guys ? A whole set of new words just emerged ! We're told it's for the better, really ?
Those words represent people’s understanding of something. If you disagree with them, then those words are a signal for you stay away from people like that. It’s a win for you.
Agreed. However this #woke movement has been manufactured, it's being pushed to the corporate level in such a way. I wonder how much of it is the reflection of people's understanding of the world they live in and whether it doesn't reflect, instead, the extent of the manipulation and propaganda we are subjected to everyday.
But the people that are influenced by manufactured propaganda are not people you want to associate with anyway. Whether it’s a government, corporation, or the local clergymen, why would it matter? You’re better off without people like that in your life.
I'm in London now. Everywhere you go there are bullshit signs about all pronouns welcome and rainbows.... you can't stay away from it whebn you're being forced to read/hear it everyday. And we know this propaganda will have a long term negative effect on the population and above all the younger generations, schools are a target. Sorry for bringing up negative stuff on #NOSTR ! Thank god for #satoshis !
I agree the long term negative effects are real but at the end of the day people still choose their actions and they are choosing to be okay with it. What is keeping you from leaving London?
London is just an exemple, it's all over the western world. I would move to a BRICSs nation if I wasn't going to loose too much revenue and job security. It's still an option for later.
What about a conservative place like Romania? You won’t find the perfect place. Giving up some of your revenue seems like the price you pay to be away from that stuff. But maybe not. You may make more money in London but your costs are higher. Higher in rent, food, and taxes but also the emotional price you pay. Would you rather have more money or see less woke shit and feel sane?
English is the shitcoin that all degeneration sprouts from.
