"If we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."
Karl Popper, *The Open Society and Its Enemies*.
I've been thinking about this quote from Eric Hughes lately.
"Privacy is necessary for an open society."
I never delved into the term "open society" until recently.
It looks like the term comes from Karl Popper.

In eight years, I suspect you're net worth would be more if you rent than buy.
I compared my parent"s house in southern California to gold in 1989(the year they bought) Gold would have done better, so renting + stacking the difference is a better bet if your net worth is your only value.
If you live in a van and stack sats, your net worth will be even higher.
If you live in a tent and stack sats, you'll be super rich.
If you live under a bridge and stack sats, you will become as rich as you can possibly be.
Money isn't the only value though. Maybe living under a bridge means you're worth 100 million in 8 years, but owning a house means your worth 50 million. I would choose the house, because of the marginal theory of return, but value is subjective. If I was single, I would live in a van.
I was being a little tongue & cheeck, but money isn't the only value. Sometimes, it's easy for bitcoiners to forget this because we spend so much of our time thinking about money. ☺️
I'm not from there, but I visited as a kid. My grandfather was a commercial fisherman. He caught crab and salmon out of the San Fransisco Bay. They lived in a Duplex. My great grandmother lived downstairs. She always gave me Toll House cookies and milk, but it always smelled like there was some sort of natural gas leak.
My grandfather and step-grandmother lived upstairs. It was the coolest house ever.
Mill valley is magical, like a town you would see in a movie.
