 The difference between 'Aristotelian' logic and the logic of our life is that in the first one, everything can be of only 2 kinds, either right or wrong.
So don't blame mathematics, you can blame our brother Arastoo for this.

 "According to SCMP, the research team employed the D-Wave Advantage quantum computer to target the Present, Gift-64, and Rectangle algorithms, called key representatives of the Substitution-Permutation Network (SPN) structure. This structure is foundational for advanced encryption standards (AES), a system widely deployed in military and financial encryption protocols, according to the newspaper. While AES-256 is often labeled as military-grade and considered the most secure encryption standard available, the study suggests that quantum computers may soon threaten such security." 
 The more knowledge you consume, the more you end up with.  
 not necessarily, especially if there is no action following it up.  
 I live 50 miles from any stop lights.

I have a deep hatred and enmity for stoplights. The Pavlov... 
 totally agree, Eric. I never cease to move on the red while biking if I see no movement around.
But,  we should not forget that many of humans are not yet humans and are indeed in need of these pavlovian condititionings to actually become human, in my honest and not so humble kind of opinion. ( I actually don't like the idea of an "opinion" too, as if a thought can be something more or less than that). 
 in the world where alienation has been becoming an increasingly predominant perception of the many, to say that there is absolutely "zero" evidence for the existence of "aliens" is simply false.  
 Unpopular opinion: Bitcoiners really suck at catalysing adoption. Need to fix that asap. 
 when it is ready, it will be wildly adopted.  
 Isn't adoption a goal, not a problem?

X Twitter partially solves censorship now, but it is fully centralised in many ways.

I don't know what key rotation is, but I assume it is process facilitating increased privacy? 
 Anybody into progressive rock/metal here? 
 I think that alone should be enough to temporarily dismiss his honesty about Bitcoin.  
 Music is a function of the environmentum of a momentum. It is defined by the space in which one moves: by the geometry of the motion and by its speed.

 Imagine people calling email a platform. That's how messed up our brains are today. Messed up by ... 
 People don't exist, that's why. What exists is ineffable and it naturally struggles a lot before it can speak out what it feels or thinks.

Peopleness does constantly keep itself busy to not have any spare time to fall asleep to see a dream that its peopleness in the wake could well also be a dream. 
 the book you were referring to, Fernando, namely - 
the "Turtles all the way down"? 
 got it. thanks!

 My youtube suggestions had just spontaneously changed to something that resembles what would be my dad's interests based suggestions. 

I have been sitting in this new place where I haven't sat much before for approximately an hour now, eating and watching YouTube and Instagram as I usually do when I eat.

Approximately 2 hours ago I just had a bond-steengthening conversation with my Dad right at this same place, an hour or so after he had been watching his YouTube videos right here while I showered in the next room listening to music that has a very big emotional charge for me. 

Any explanations anybody? 
 the answer is apparently found. it just signed me out :) 
 I have never felt any interest in opening an account on Twiter cause it felt like a place to shout out slogans and not have any meaningful conversations. I opened an account on Twitter in 2021 only to satisfy some externally imposed requirements to achieve some ends I had in mind back then. But since then I have never used it.

So I wonder, who else here shares the same story? 
 Bitcoin removes error codes from the system - another way to say Bitcoin solves everything.

 Does anybody know what's the issue of binance with boltz nodes? and if they do indeed block them, why? 
 I watched the WBD episode with Niftynei today and I should say that the analogies Niftynei was drawing between the original clearing houses and the Lightning nodes is exactly what we need to frame differently because otherwise that may become a low hanging feuit for those who want to label ligthning node operators as banks.  
 Saw the lightning symbol on the base drum of Lenny Kravitz? 
 the first thing I did to understand my acid experience was to read his book The Joyous Cosmology!

You can't change my mind. 
 Have you heard Beardfish?? 
 When you need someone else's interpretation of god, you:

Don't trust in your own capacity to critically think

Delegate the burden of critical thinking to someone else

Trust in their critical thinking

Hence, believe in that someone one else, but not in god.

 wth are you doing here? 
 Do y’all feel anything in a cacao ceremony?

I’ve done maybe 4 now and just don’t understand. 
 make sure you can dance right after drinking the first cup, then communicate with people around, then chill down with a soothing group meditation and see if you have come down calmed and willing to hug any and everybody.  
 I think it was the most spiritual podcast you guys had so far.

Yet I personally tend to think along the followig lines when I think about the sacred:

 Did you guys notice how they juxtaposed rescheduling of marijuana to the pro-crypto stances? 
 If you listen to recordings of statesmen from the early 1900s, you quickly realize how far the US... 
 I don't think it is possible to genuinely side wih everybody just like I don't think it is possible to genuinely lie to oneself.  
 Adding up to your comment Marty on "the lockdown bonds":

"imagine citizens being asked to buy government bonds and get their money back in 12-24 months only if they choose to stay alone and locked in their primary residences for the entire durantion of the bonding time"

Of course, this is way more challenging than coercing citizens to stay at locked at homes, if they can be payed for doind that along the way.

Is not that the whole logic of Keynsian inflationary monetary mechanics? The inversion of natural preferences with the inversion of the time preference arrow? 
 Television was a True Hallucination. 
 Can not turn my third eye off.  
 I am talking about the TV medium as being the hallucinatory kind of a vibe by its very nature. I am not talking about the content provided within that medium (consult Marshall McLuhan's Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man)

 Just watched it. Thanks for the uninterrupting listening throughout the majority of Carlino's very detailed and well put description of these important novelties in the truth verification programme of Bitcoin upon our public system! 
 I am not in US, but will keep my wits strategic about putting this on a table in my locale.  By the way, what about coming Canadian Prime minister elections? Do you guys have any prospects in that election? 
 We just got elections in my current locale months ago. So, I will see how to approach them in the coming years and I hope by that time your project will already have gained some credible popularity in US and Canada. For now though, I am actively working on making the local government start mining with the hitherto vented and flares gases.
