@ #Bitcoin enthusiasts

Stop trying to orange pill normies.

Just use it as a catalyst for lowering your time-preference and become the best version of yourself.

When normies then ask why you’re so cool you just say “#Bitcoin” and fuck off.

Make #Bitcoin sexy again.

I'm sorry but a girl being raped by an Afghan migrant is 1,000,000 times worse than a 41 year old man killing himself over being caught out for his lies.

And shit like this happens almost every day.

[Patrick Christys @PatrickChristys]

The Home Office knows illegal immigrants are so dangerous they have the tell them not to rape kids, beat up women or mutilate genitals. And yet they’re about to plonk a load of them in rural villages.

[Mike Jones @technopopulist]

It makes total sense to me that the Ministry of Justice has shared data with the Home Office on crime rates broken down by nationality. If they haven’t, then:

(a) it shows a complete systemic and institutional failure on the part of the Labour Party and the British state. Totally irresponsible.

If they have, then:

(b) we need to know how that data has informed decision-making within the Home Office, including things like the leaflets, and why it has not led to more robust action.

And (c) why are they keeping it secret?

[Mike Jones @technopopulist]

I have a question for you, @ShabanaMahmood. Has the Ministry of Justice shared data covering 2018 to 2024 with you and the Home Office on convictions by nationality?

Labour does not want this data released, as the @migrationCtrl can attest. But did this data inform the leafleting campaign pleading with asylum seekers not to violate basic civilisational norms, such as abusing children?

[Mike Jones @technopopulist]

The whole migrant leaflets brouhaha shows you why the media can’t see the significance of what is staring them in the face. The Narrative is that it is a confession by the Home Office that these illegals can do Very Evil Stuff. So why let them in? True. But that is just the surface-area scandal.

The real scandal is that the civil service appears to be aware of average statistical differences in immigrant crime, but won’t release the data, despite its revealed actions, namely the leaflets, telling us what it knows.

Clearly, senior officials in the HO/MOJ are aware of what is happening statistically. The newspapers have done an excellent job of covering immigrant crime, but the government could very easily dampen these stories by releasing data, adjusted for age, showing that criminal offending among illegals is more or less in line with British averages.

But they won’t do that. Why?

Because the data senior officials have access to tells the complete opposite story: that illegals are considerably more violent and prone to sexual offending than the average British citizen, even after adjusting for age.

So, in a blind panic, they resort to pleading with migrants not to indulge in their sadistic tendencies via leafleting.

The big scandal is the cover-up of the data and what Labour ministers know. Shabana Mahmood needs to be asked some very pressing questions.

This is a much BIGGER scandal.

[Steven Edginton @StevenEdginton]

A media witch hunt, partly led by the BBC, has succeeded in getting Nathan Cofnas suspended. He was the whistleblower who exposed Cambridge and Jason Arday when no journalist was brave enough to do so.

This is an attack on academic freedom and freedom of speech by some of the press.

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

🚨BREAKING: There has been widespread public outrage after 2 men involved in disorder at Epping Migrant Hotel protests have received LONGER SENTENCES IN PRISON than the illegal migrant who sexually assaulted a 14 year old girl which started the protests in the first place

- Charlie Land, 2 years 8 months
- Jonathan Glover, 2 years 6 months

- Hadush Kebatu, just 12 months

The UK justice system is a complete joke

[Mike Jones @technopopulist]

The media don’t realise it, but they are sitting on one of the biggest scandals in modern British history. It is now becoming pretty obvious that senior civil servants and ministers have been given access to data on immigrant crime rates and have chosen not to make it public, while, in blind panic, opting instead for information campaigns to persuade illegals (“asylum seekers”) to rethink their sinister plans.

The whole thing is totally insane. We need to know what the Home Office knows and what data has been shared with Shabana Mahmood.

Whistleblowers need to be encouraged.

But many of our bitcoin friends are still dealing with the aftermath of the coldcard hack and

Coldcard hasn’t tweeted in 6 days

Coinkite - 14 days

Where are the answers for this disaster?

It’s been 3 fucking weeks

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

The legal age of consent in the UK is 16 but that's supposed to be so 16 year olds can hook up with other people their own age

I find it really creepy that the home office is marketing 16 year olds to migrants like it's ok to try it on with them

They're still kids ffs

[Connor Tomlinson @Con_Tomlinson]

Understand that you are not in a dialogue with these people.

There is no debate. They aren't listening. They've sequestered themselves in an ideological bubble, and self-soothe by repeating the same platitudes and blaming the same scaoegoats.

They won't examine their priors, despite being repudiated in real-time by the horrific consequences of the power they've held for decades.

They are cut off from reality, and get angry at you for reminding them of it. There is no use trying to persuade them.

They think you are to blame for every inequity, violent crime, and hurt feeling throughout history. They react to your concerns like seeing bluebottles breeding in their bins. You and infestation to be bleached with name calling, censorship, and ostracism.

They are indifferent to the suffering of your children. Securing a future for them will require being very mean indeed to these people, and not caring what names they call you.

This is what being hounded actually looks like. An academic has been suspended, not for professional misconduct or plagiarism or bad teaching, but because his opinions are unpopular.

Removing friction is how rich people end up losing agency and human IQ

It starts with Uber-everywhere, grocery delivery, all-inclusive holidays, then private driver, chef, assistant etc… without noticing you’re also removing exposure to reality

I see this in London with young ambitious professionals aka HENRYs (High Earners Not Rich Yet) trying to remove every tiny friction from life so they can focus on work + gym + sleep + money, while forgetting that a lot of the “inefficient” shit they’re deleting (cooking, walking somewhere, random talks etc) is also just… being a human in your 20s/30s

The thing is you’re not only saving time, you’re removing thousands of tiny reps of dealing with the world. Finding the place, fixing the booking, working out what to do when the train gets cancelled, asking someone for help, improvising because the plan is fucked. None of these makes you smarter on its own, but remove basically all of them for 10 years and I’d be surprised if it has zero effect. You can become incredibly high-agency at work while weirdly low-agency at normal life

It’s why so many high-agency rich people are deliberately paying to add friction back into their lives (difficult travel, long treks, sailing, marathons, remote places, silent retreats, climbing mountains, etc). They’ve understood that once comfort is abundant, difficulty becomes scarce. The luxury good eventually becomes optional hardship. The distinction is agency. Being forced to walk 10km because your car broke down sucks. Choosing to hike 20km in Patagonia feels meaningful

The way I think about it personally is just aggressively remove boring / repetitive friction, while keeping a decent amount of unpredictable friction. I’ll happily pay more for the direct flight, live centrally to kill a commute, outsource cleaning/admin, take the Uber if it genuinely saves 40 mins. A 15-min annoyance x300 a year is actually expensive. There is absolutely no hidden life lesson in doing your laundry for the 800th time or spending 2h getting somewhere you could reach in 30 mins

Think the objective of wealth shouldn’t be zero friction, but simply choosing your friction. Basically removing all the boring shit so you can expose yourself to more of the interesting stuff

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

This is probably controversial: I think using money to eliminate every minor inconvenience from your life is a negative in the long run.

There's a certain level of inconvenience that's just an important part of the human experience.

The smooth, textureless life is the forgotten life.

Experiencing friction is part of being human. Some of your most memorable life experiences are so memorable precisely because they had friction.

It's why you still laugh about the trip when your bags got lost by the airline and you had to wing it. When your flights got cancelled. When the hotel lost your reservation. When all your plans went awry.

And friction builds tolerance for the inevitable chaos of life.

I know so many people who have obsessively removed friction from their life and now seem to be utterly thrown by the tiniest thing.

They've got private planes, private drivers, and private chefs. People managing and staffing their various houses. All the trappings of a friction-free life. But then get absolutely derailed by the smallest unexpected bump in the road.

As with all things in life, when it comes to reducing friction, the dose makes the poison.

A little bit of friction reduction is good. You reduce your stress. You improve your happiness. A medium bit is maybe even better. But a lot becomes toxic to your life. Not diminishing returns. Negative returns.

Be wary of the blind pursuit of friction elimination.

You may find that the friction was what made your life feel real.

Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen has been barred from entering the UK after she was convicted in Finland of ‘hate speech’ for sharing her Christian views about gay marriage. Shabana Mahmood should overturn that decision now.

Digital consumption is so dangerous because it ties up all of that anxious energy that would otherwise go toward monumental accomplishments and forms of expression. The neurotically inclined used to channel their anxious energy into fringe pursuits. Sports, guitar, math problems, history, drawing. Any pursuit was better than sitting with the uncomfortable feeling of doing nothing. This created obsession. Now that all gets mopped up by doomscrolling. It quells that gnawing of anxiousness but doesn't produce anything. It tricks you into thinking you've accomplished something but leaves you empty in the end. The Diet soda of activities.

Our prisons are overflowing and nobody in Government has seriously thought to deport the 10,134 foreign criminals in our prisons.

They are either remarkably thick or ill-intentioned, to put it mildly.

One of the UK's cultural norms is indeed "don't rape kids" but until now it wasn't necessary to print it on a pamphlet.
