Bitcoin minimalist. Here to learn. Everything is survivor bias, try something different for once!

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

"Decided by social consensus" doesn't tell you WHY a decision was made.

A consensus mechanism creates incentives which influence decision making.

If a "social consensus" changes a consensus mechanism, it means the consensus broke, because OTHER incentives prevailed.

@Haeze @FreesoulFaizan @RupertLowe10 Also ask data where are you more likely to get stabbed or raped: Sudan or Ireland. Data is amazing, you are right.

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@Haeze @FreesoulFaizan @RupertLowe10 Same for data then. People don’t even understand per capita. And while stories just “happen”, data is gathered which brings a lot of opportunities to manufacture narratives

@crashmoney_ @RonSwanonson You meant cooking

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@Myntad_com @RonSwanonson Agreed

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@Myntad_com @RonSwanonson Define “the economy”

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@Haeze @FreesoulFaizan @RupertLowe10 Actually they are much easier to verify

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@Haeze @FreesoulFaizan @RupertLowe10 Sure but data can be cooked many ways. Where I’m from, immigrant data was not updated for some time and in a couple of months 1M “new” immigrants showed up on the books.
Also most people don’t read the data sources and can be fed poor/convenient interpretations.

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

That’s debatable tho. Anti-immigration people argue exactly that.
Denmark is one of the few countries that reports crime by background and results align with their view (also a country with less far right extremists because immigration is under control).
In my opinion people should also look to *direction* of data not just wait to “it’s official we have a problem”

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@Haeze @FreesoulFaizan @RupertLowe10 I posted 3. When is it systemic? I get not 3. Trying to figure out what that means, so we can have good discourse.

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@Haeze @FreesoulFaizan @RupertLowe10 Those events did happen, they are facts.

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@Haeze @FreesoulFaizan @RupertLowe10 When does “a few stories” become a problem?

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@Haeze @FreesoulFaizan @RupertLowe10 How about the rape gangs? Henry Novak? The machete girl?
If there were just ONE opposite crime, it would be hell on earth

@neilorpen @getderb @Jamesgeniusidea @SlainByTheWire @GBNEWS @joerichlaw You will if you read their posts on Facebook

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@neilorpen @SlainByTheWire @GBNEWS @joerichlaw You can’t prove a negative. The only way to say “I’m not a kid” is by showing you are an adult.
The only way to prove you are an adult is everyone showing ID to use a big part of the Internet

[Carlos 🏴‍☠️ @ConsensusMecha]

@HodlMagoo Not so much for the economics but for how much they destroyed culture.
They are basically accepted shitcoins, they are tokenomics on bitcoin.

@RonSwanonson @PeterSchiff Bitcoin lives rent free in his head.
It doesn’t even need to go up to afford it.

We had a takedown request from Munich court for a nos_tr post accessed via njump. Being that the event is pulled locally from relays by the event ID passed in the url, I dont think we will comply. It's like blaming a browser for the website you accessed. Happy to go the distance.
