@bryan_johnson The problem is that we chase peace when it would literally kill us. The Matrix mentioned it. Few caught the meaning. Without conflict (in us and around us) humans die (of boredom, literally).
What's sad today is that we use stupid conflict rather than real conflict to stay alive.
@maxfawcett@richardwarnica Man, you could kill Trump now and it wouldn't change a thing. The seed was planted in 2015 and in 2020 we discovered that it was an invasive species. The mindset is "ask for forgiveness, later" but first lie, deny, blame and misdirect. It's now a proven operational standard.
@lukestokes Only if we can convince people that we can function without fractional reserve lending. (We CAN, but moving the herd that way may take time)
@lukestokes Take back your power. Fact check everything that matters, ignore everything that doesn't. And remember, the media rarely deals in facts (at least for the last 40 years). Point of view used to be outsourced critical thought, now it's marketing. 🤪
@manishitnp@BRICSinfo Hahaha! Sanctions from the US are losing their meaning. The latest tariff drama is showing just how much. Aside from highly dependent countries who didn't learn from the first Trump term, (CA, IN, UK etc) the world ignores the US when it behaves badly. BRICS currency is a symptom
@LordGoldyy @bryan_johnson Well, actually, the goal is to live long enough to get to the point where science allows you to never die of old age. We're heading that way fast. So the question is, "do I want to sacrifice 10-20 years of fun now, for unlimited fun later?" Damn, that sounds like every religion!
@VitalikButerin May I propose that the primary danger of all current ID systems is their centralization. They are invariably built as apps on a layer 1 and those apps have controllers. Tether is a great example of this. IMHO, the infrastructure for ID needs to be mesh rather than chain based.
@signulll@elonmusk You can't all be blind to the Orwellian death knell. The tech is beautiful on its own. It's implementation will savage the poor and increase their numbers, manage the middle with impunity and enrich the powerful... I'm not sure that's the civilizational change we want...
@bryan_johnson People don't matter, @bryan_johnson, not even to themselves, unless pressed. What you are attempting to do with yourself is one of a very short list of laudable pursuits for the species. Ignore the rabble.
@BRICSinfo You're worried about Iran having nukes?! Have you been awake the last 6 months. Were in a world where a buffoon and a sociopath are going head to head while the next superpower is sitting idly by enjoying the show... Yeah, Iran's a problem the way Canada is.
@Patriot_Josh11@BRICSinfo Stringing big words together is not evidence. Neither are capital letters or expletives. But then, I forget myself, it's 2025, fiction is all there is.
@elonmusk Gestures are no different than words (in any language) and even cross-linguistic phonemes (sounds). Context is everything, not just A thing. "... faut que j'y aille," to an American soldier sounds a lot like "fuck(ing) GI." Historical gesture similarities aren't copyrights!
@Ashcryptoreal Dude, this is the beginning of the end for Bitcoin... If this trend continues, only the rich will be allowed to hold Bitcoin and blockchains will have mandated government back doors.
@Ashcryptoreal He has to buy the Fed first. I'm pretty sure Musk telling Bezos that 'everyone agrees that shipping should be free,' wouldn't go far to reducing Amazon shipping charges! 🤣 This is Trump saying, 'These rates are burying me! Give me a break!' Powell says, "Stop borrowing!" 🤣
