The #AUStriches PM has already forgotten the pretence of his Under 16s social media ban.
Now it’s “everyone” needing to connect rather than having online relationships with nyms.
The quality of PMs is degrading at the same rate as our economy. It goes from shit to shitter to shittier and just when you thought they couldn’t put a bigger retard in the big chair after the pant-shitter Morrison, we get halfwitted Elmer Fudd.
Why anyone takes this system seriously is beyond me. If this is what bubbles to the top of the tree then the whole tree needs to be napalmed. https://v.nostr.build/rGwP7Bzs62BugkWd.mp4nostr:note1735yvfxygpl9hmfns0txnell6hwru9wldgdg9kfjfdth6y63f0kqv7frjp
Yeah this whole thing stinks of the US, its Nina Jancowicz’s Disinformation Board 2.0
UK is pursuing the same, matter of time til NZ gets on board and god knows what the lunatic Castreau will do - probably try to euthanise offenders or something.
5-eyes wants to know your ASL and ideally match it to your biometrics for easier blackmailing of people who might have a dissident thought
Classic case of midwittery from Albo.
It’s pretty easy to understand for me as a Millennial that GenX and Boomers have a very different relationship with the internet to my age group, and I can see it’s different again for Zoomers and Alphas.
This dumb cunt and the rest of the Karenocracy project themselves on to everything because they’re too stupid to understand people see the world differently to them, so self-assured are they that their view is right and everyone who disagrees must be wrong.
It looks like Labor are going to win minority government which will be basically the worst outcome of all. Instead of the Greens and Teals just talking their communist nonsense in the media dragging the narrative left, they’ll hold the balance of power dragging legislation and spending left off a cliff.
There isn’t a single person in either major party worthy of power, and those in the minors are basically just parodies.
I think Aus is going to devolve from here as the reality of climate cultism comes home to roost.
At least Socialists have an end goal, as stupid as it may be.
Progressives seem to have no goal other than winning whatever latest battle they’ve chosen, regardless of if it contradicts other goals let alone what any second order effects might be.
It’s like fiat thinking became an ideology.
That’s the political ones.
I’m talking your stock standard leftist who self-identifies as a progressive and is nowhere near power. Their normie base.
What do they think they’re progressing towards?
Yeah that’s everyone before they have to work their way in the world.
Then you grow up when reality hits.
Except for progressives apparently - permanent adolescence
The Gov creating an anti-slavery commissary whilst they destroy the currency through money printing to keep everyone on a perpetual hamster wheel is gaslighting at its finest
I know this is all promotion hype, but it’s working on me 😂
Polymarket has Jake Paul as clear favourite at 62% which in Boxing is never great, so many rigged fights.
But do you think Mike Tyson would take a fall for the 💰?
Do you think Paul is going to outbox him and win fair and square because he’s just the better athlete and fighter in 2024?
#Tyson or #Paul? #AskNostr https://v.nostr.build/618s0wLgnwZJhtgM.mp4nostr:note1a7qns38nlz09vgxg8lajj7qlaqpn38zxsc2cp6e4ma080cw3vq6quk4fxv
Wise words. Being conscientious of these things can only be good, nobody is going to wish they spent more time on their phones on their deathbeds that’s for sure.
Hooking us in with wearables or implantables is where this ends up and I’m already not interested. Next generations might be a different story though..
It’s funny now, but I remember the same thing happened when Trump won in 2016 and they were all wailing and confused for a few weeks, basically embodying the Principal Skinner meme.
Then they got their orders, got organised, and went fully psychotic.
This is the calm before the storm.
The parasites have one thing going for them which is an unwavering faith that they are the chosen ones on the right side of history.
I’m not expecting them to reform themselves, I’m anticipating they’ll ramp up the psychosis in new and more evil ways than ever before once they collectively get their bearings.
A year ago the stat was 11% of boys aged <5 are on NDIS which is just a ridiculous figure. If you’re a politician and you hear that 1-in-10 boys are on disability and you dont drop everything to get to the bottom of that immediately (they haven’t, there has been nothing mentioned since), what fucking good are you to the country?
Australia is playing out the opening scene of Idiocracy.
Yep but we will never hear anything about that. Greg Hunt the little fukn worm has disappeared into the aether, he was supposed to oversee the TGA who themselves did ZERO research and relied entirely on the manufacturers and the claims of the US CDC & FDA.
Absolutely no-one wants anyone looking into anything that happened during Covid because they know thousands of people would be hanging from lamp posts for what they did for a quick buck and some power if it was all uncovered.
The article mentions cuts to education budgets in the 2030s because student numbers will decline..
We’ve got 3 people per square kilometre (top 10 lowest density on earth) and an unrivalled housing shortage.
These people couldn’t organise a root in a brothel but leftists insist the solution is to tax people more and give the parasites more power so they can finally fix it..
That is the essence of fiat debt slavery.
The opposition’s plan is to let #AUStriches raid their superannuation funds to buy houses.
The current Labor Gov have as far as I can tell got zero plans at all to deal with the problem at a Federal level where they just pretend it doesn’t exist, whilst the State Govs have been handing out larger and larger first home buyer grants.
Both are pumping immigration to keep up insane demand. Both are happy with Chinese and Indian buyers laundering money through RE.
Neither will let the Ponzi collapse because that would mean a generation out of power.
Our whole politics is basically kicking that can and hoping it doesn’t blow up on your watch because the Boomer’s will lose their minds if it did.
Why would Trump look to remake the US with its 335 million people in the image of a tiny European country with 10 million people?
Hungary has a homogeneous population, is landlocked, doesn’t run a global empire, doesn’t have rogue agencies running things from the shadows, doesn’t have the global reserve currency, on and on we can go with this.
The idea makes no sense at all.
In ways that Trump has no hope of emulating given the constraints he faces, which Orban doesn’t.
It’s like tech debt - you can’t just handwave that shit away in the real world, that’s not how it works, but that’s essentially what you’re saying even though you never would if the topic was tech debt.
> Or what, it's a conspiracy? They just made all that up to frame him?
Yes Alex, that’s exactly what they did.
He threatened their hegemony on the drug trade. When you threaten the power of three letter agencies they go HARD.
They made up sexual assault allegations against Assange and plotted to kill him.
They went after Snowden but he got out of their reach before they could have any effect.
They go after anyone who has threatened their power either by whistleblowing or through systems they couldn’t coercively control.
That’s what they do. They leverage the captured media to seed and repeat their narratives and normies gobble it up.
You don’t seem to understand how evil these people are?
It won’t matter.
People are going to hate Bitcoiners the same as they hate Boomers for their wealth in real estate.
There is of course a massive difference but the haters aren’t smart enough to parse that.
One more prediction - Trump will tweet/post about #Bitcoin when it hits $100K.
People will call it as a top signal but really it will just be his usual braggadocio associating himself with success, and it will bring the start of retail FOMO. nostr:note1nyle5s7m982qp8j4nwpgrt86dj7mehydw4kjuwrqg0a802uegdpsxgtpk7
Unlearning is hard.
Humans are programmable, this is why the State tries to control public narratives - it allows them to impress ideas and views on to most people which they use to uphold their legitimacy and maintain control.
Once learned, de-programming these ideas, any ideas, is very difficult. They become entwined with ego, with one’s identity and entire worldview.
This is especially true of midwits. They cannot stomach the idea that everything they have learned might be wrong.
How could that possibly be?! They aren’t stupid, after all they have a slightly above average IQ! They’re not some lowly labourer doing menial repetitive tasks for minimum wage, they went to that prestigious University and read books by smart people!
They are so invested in what they think they know that they cannot separate the self from the thing. It doesn’t even occur to them that these ideas were implanted on them by other actors with their own incentives, as such it doesn’t occur to them to question why they think what they do.
Only the tail ends of the curve can do this.
The low end because they don’t wrap themselves in ego, they get by on practicality - what works matters more than what some expert says is correct. They don’t emphasise learning so they have much less to unlearn in the first place.
The high end because they’ve overemphasised on learning have understood how their ego can be weaponised against their own self-interest so they expand their circles to collect more data to challenge their own beliefs, and then go with the synthesis which best meets reality.
In essence - the tail ends believe the purpose of a system is what it does in reality. The middle of the curve impart their ego on to systems and wish it to match their understanding of reality and will always seek to explain away the variance.
The tail ends can unlearn and shed their programming. Midwits can not. https://i.nostr.build/rBK9GlBlkZ1o4wuP.jpghttps://i.nostr.build/nKLk1mk3DxtTW8LD.jpghttps://i.nostr.build/qRWbWncFSftC3j1w.jpg
Yeah I’m not sure who he means. It’s not like people associate “Economist” with “must be rich because everyone knows all economists continually beat the market”.
The only financially independent economists are the statist mouthpieces like Krugman or Reich or Kelton in the US or Kouk in Aus, and those Austrians who have gone in on Bitcoin.
The sheer volume of talk about “Trans” people is so completely disproportionate to the number of these people in the world.
They can’t see the forest for the trees because they’ve identified a single disfigured tree which apparently warrants the focus of the entire world and they can’t understand why they’re the only ones staring at this hideous thing that the rest of us don’t give a fuck about.
Leftism is purely about power.
Once you understand that, you can reconcile the differences from one leftist system to another. https://i.nostr.build/dKMOKJIPPe7CqHOD.jpg
This is what will bring about the super orangepilling wave.
All the normies with their copies of The Bitcoin Standard on the bookshelf checking in on that Bitcoiner friend that gifted them the book who left the fiat slave mines and is now doing what they were called to and living life to the fullest.
Raided the money jars today. That’s about 8 years worth of shrapnel.
Funny that they coloured the tokens silver and gold to tap into human instinct, but really they’re worthless.
The 5 cent coins might as well be taken out of circulation but Gov doesn’t like people being reminded that their money is worthless. https://i.nostr.build/lELNkHUqCgIgo6Px.jpg
$174 in goldies & $34 in cents.
Curiously mostly 20 cent pieces, bugger all 50 cent and 5 cent coins which when I was a kid would have been the bulk of a haul like this.
People are thinking about #Polymarket all wrong.
Don’t think of it as a gambling platform, it’s a carry trade platform. You can park money on markets which are near enough certainties.
Print a 4.6% coupon on a 2 month position with the risk being Trump dies between now January 20.
How about 8.7% for a 6 month position that Trump isn’t going to waste his political capital on a topic which is already resolved.
Or maybe you’d like to print 13% in 7 weeks because you realise Putin isn’t a retard, and Israel aren’t going to be launching nukes at this stage of conflict.
There’s plenty of election outcomes which are mathematically set and still paying 1-3%. Sports outcomes remain live throughout the events so you’ll easily find games where the winner is decided before resolution too.
Some markets have low liquidity so you’re not always going to be able to do this in size, and likely you will have the occasional blowout (no different to a margin call), but with proper position strategies and laddering you could easily make a monthly salary just picking off easy prints with very low risk.
I wonder how many people are living off Polymarket income already? 🤔 https://i.nostr.build/nhGTD7UpF7ulNbGd.jpghttps://i.nostr.build/gFKI0omdub36I7i0.jpghttps://i.nostr.build/Xx36o9Wxw9NJS355.jpg
Insurance is actually quite interesting if you can get past the facade of the industry.
Gambling is just putting a price on future outcomes, if you do it well you can clean up as evidenced by how large insurance companies have become.
It’s moderated communities on dedicated relays.
Think about concentric circles expanding from the individual > household > family > street > neighbourhood > community > suburb > city > state > nation.
That’s where this ends up. Heavy at the start and decreasing as it goes further from the person.
The “global town square” is a fiat concept and a relic of big tech social media and the nation state era. That’s not what #nostr will replace.
It will realign our interactions back towards how we operate in meatspace. This time where it’s predominantly a singular small community won’t last.
Compute moves in cycles like everything else. Centralised > decentralised > centralised > decentralised.
Mainframes (C) > PCs (D) > Cloud (C) > …
Nodes is the next wave. Just as people cut cords on cable TV, they’re going to cut streaming - likely when the economy goes to shit and western governments take their censorship too far.
This will be done on home media servers. You can get a Dell server at home today fully decked out for $300 - project this out 10 years. Umbrel/Start9 are the Napster of this wave - it’s only gonna get easier and better to run this shit yourself.
It’s hard to see when the tech today is finicky and niche but Nostr will be baked in. Users wont know they’re spinning up relays, they’ll just be creating groups for these concentric circles and the relays will be baked in to the software.
The nostr.com.au relay we run by this time ought fulfil the nation level usecase. We’ll be the new mainstream so people will prefer their lower level localised relays but use the higher levels just for info.
Does the average person have interest in using a PC?
How about the cloud?
Running a server at home will be no different to operating an iPhone today in 10-15 years.
It will be so cheap and so easy, and Gov will piss off so many people who will be broke, that the trajectory is already inevitable.
Lower your time preference brother.
Nostr is your opportunity for Semisol Jr and Semisol III and IV and V to stand on the shoulders of an OG.
I have decided to change tack.
Instead of bitching at the parasite class; I’m going to challenge them all to single combat til death.
Forget duelling, that shit is way out of date. The parasites will just nominate their seconds who they buy off to be their bodyguards anyway.
Nah Im going out of my way to challenge any politician who seeks authority over me or mine to settle it like men.
If you want to govern me, you’ll have to defeat me in single combat first to prove you are worthy.
I challenge you all to match me in this and make the parasites put skin in the game.
My first call is Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. This snivelling halfwit keeps talking tough when it suits him and then talking about his upbringing in a council house when that is debunked.
I challenge Albo to one-to-one combat with the loser exiled to death.
Ready Albo you fucking cunt?
Kubrick told the story of what was happening on the ground and people believed because they wanted to.
Bollywood just did some CGI sim running on a Super Nintendo and no-one believed.
