@dampedspring It’s a rationale bet on the potential long-term structural advantage of hoarding what may become the most-coveted store of value in an increasingly fragmented, multipolar global landscape. Buying IBIT shares ain’t the same thing.
@Snz_BTC Better that you explain how holding the most attractive collateral (if it becomes recognized as such) can’t possibly result in value creation.
The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.
@jib5150@Giovann35084111 Many-Worlds has been the gap-filler of choice recently. Every worldview fills explanatory gaps with something outside of the reach of empirical testing. You’ll figure this out at some point.
@jib5150@Giovann35084111 You are naively pointing to instances wherein scientists will admit they don’t currently understand this or that aspect of the real causes. The faith component is the belief that we are capable of identifying the real causes “out there.” Your level confusion is telling.
@jib5150@Giovann35084111 For one, the belief that we sense, and fully comprehend, all causes and effects at base reality level. If you have a proof for that, you should be tutoring Edward Witten.
@Giovann35084111 We are all attached to fairy tales. Scientists have them too. Unprovable assumptions abound, in all world views, including atheistic scientism.
@TFTC21 Humans are inevitably going to cram AI into our categories. By definition, we can only describe its essence using concepts our brains understand.
@snewmanpv We’re precisely as proficient at math as our designer prescribed. Same goes for computers and any other system in our observable world. There’s no good or bad; it’s merely that which was prescribed by the designer.
