I say this as a 90's teen myself, but Chuck Klosterman's excellent book "The 90's" talks a lot about this dynamic... The constant tension between "authenticity" and "selling out," and the assumed strong binary between these options, when the reality is more nuanced. I still believe that most good and worthwhile things start "on the street" as it were, or even "in the gutter" -- i.e. at the margins of society. But Saylor is part of the process to bring them into the mainstream, which is ultimately where they need to be.

Well FWIW Austrian theory would disagree... While it might reduce some investment, one could argue that the investments that are being made with a Fiat monetary policy will inherently lead to booms and busts due to malinvestments.

Personally, I think AGI remains a "mythical" concept relative to the current state and development pathway of AI -- I'm generally with Cory Doctorow on this point that expecting the current incarnations of LLM chatbots to somehow "become" AGI overnight is about as rational as expecting that by breeding better horses we'll get a steam locomotive. But skipping that issue: What exactly is AGI, and what moral obligations will we have to it and it to itself? It's not clear to me that AGI will have any essential drive towards self-preservation, individual autonomy, or really any "needs" or "desires" at all, outside of whatever its human programmed it to have. It might be "intelligent" by whatever metric, but why does it get out of bed in the first place?

This is reflective of the general right-ward swing of Bitcoin culture this decade... Bitcoin isn't "for everyone" anymore. It's for "us." "Normies" won't get it so might as well stop talking to them. The left, in contrast, says "no my politics should be your politics. You SHOULD know about this stuff. it's for everyone." Of course their politics are wrong in many ways, but how they approach "the street" is very different.

Conventional social media has all kinds of "tip jar" Zap-like functionality, and people don't go crazy 🤯 over it. Look at any Youtube or Twitch stream, users want to be seen sending $1 or whatever to their favorite creator. We should lean into Zaps, because we're taking this behavior but supercharging it by (a) making it possible to send sub $1 amounts that legacy platforms can't and (b) allowing anyone on planet Earth to participate in a permissionless way. These two factors are HUGE. there are a MILLION other options if you don't want public zaps. Just put out a lightning address and someone can send it directly. put out your BTC address, plenty of people still do that. Recurring subscription payments via Patreon-like functions, I'm sure somebody is working on that.

IDK what the situation is (say) in the EU but in the US it's like question No 1 on the 1040, paraphrasing: "Did you buy anything with crypto this year?" Answer "no" and congrats, you're lying on your taxes. Answer "yes" and you're plunged into the labyrinthine task of accounting for the origin of every UTXO you've ever touched. Do we really think that, pre-fiat collapse, normies are going to be comfortable with either of these options? So just to clear, your "ask" for normies in America is "yes Grandma lie on your taxes for the Glorious Future of my Magic Internet Money"??

Like a lot of stuff with Dune, it's ambiguous whether this is Frank Herbert saying "yes this is the way to live", or "this is a cautionary tale." The Litany Against Fear is one of many Bene Gesserit practice designed to subsume and quell emotions. Keep in mind, the Bene Gesserits, like the Jedis, are supposed to be emotionless warriors. No fear, but no love, no family ties, etc. Their role, like Paul Atreides' in the saga of Dune is not necessarily to be "the good guys." I keep going back to it, but the Green Lantern Corps is a similar thing -- the Green lantern power rings, dispatched from the "center of the universe" of Oa, seek out beings who can resist great fear and recruit them into the Gaurdians of the Universe. However, because they reject all other emotions -- fear, anger, greed, but also compassion and love -- they basically turn into something that aspires not just to be a "police force", but the One Galactic Government. Have we seen something similar happen to global society? That the Manosphere personal growth mantra of "self-mastery" becomes easily corrupted into "other mastery"?

The thing that's keeping you from walking up to a cop and punching them in the face, or dancing on the edge of a cliff -- that thing is "fear." Sure it needs to be tempered with rationality, but as human beings we've evolved certain fear responses in sitiuations that are important for our survival. And like anger, greed, and all the other "negative" emotions -- it's good in *small* doses, but must be carefully managed to ensure that it doesn't dominate your life.

Living "in fear" - sure. Living "with" fear as an emotion you let into your life is a different thing.

"I'm afraid of negative outcomes for my actions" isn't "stupidity", it's entirely rational. Should you live in fear as a main driver for your life? Absolutely not of course. This reminds me of Green Lantern, where the "yellow lantern" (Sinestro) corps is powered by Fear. They start off as antagonists, but as the saga progresses there's a bit of a reappraisal of them as being a valid and needed part of the "emotional spectrum"....

Large-scale social change, when you're fighting network effects, is a hard thing... But it can work. I see the same thing with the shift from suburban living to urbanism over the past ~20 years or so. Back in the 90's, urban downtowns were places you (maybe) visited in the Daylight hours to work, then quickly fled back to the suburbs at 5 pm. It's taken generational change, and there are still ongoing fights with NIMBYism, but millennials and younger generations have started to see the benefits of dense urban living. Likewise, we're at a point in history where the internet has basically been "colonized" by The Platforms. Hopefully we don't need a "generational" timescale to change things, but it's going to be a gradual process....
