A good metaphor for modern life—I just spent 10 minutes looking for a good ambient sounds playlist to listen to while reading, only to take out my headphones and hear crickets singing and the wind whistling through trees.
@dieworkwear I prefer to wear boots over dress shoes for this reason. Always wondered if boots and dress shoes can be interchanged as long as they don��t interfere with the pant leg. Thoughts?
@liminalrodrigo @dannymcmahon Agree with this. Plus we already know the stories of most A list celebrities. More obscure celebrities/infuencers/businessmen creates higher chance to click. “The Man who lost 100 million dollars” is more intriguing than “The Will Smith story” because we don’t know the story.
@dannymcmahon Hey mate-love the content. I think you need to shift your content away from mainstream A-list celebrities. I know that’s where you found success, but hard to entice a click about people who we already know so much about. With your storytelling+mystery. I would watch way more.
@julesterpak Like the first girl-there has never been more diverse interesting learning methods for the MCAT than there are today. Maybe the MCAT is just not that interesting to her to begin with? If it was the 80s maybe she wouldve become obsessed with painting instead of studying MCAT texts
@julesterpak Is there a chance some just use social media the incorrect way? As an avid TikTok user my algorithm is filled with opportunities to learn and interesting musings of interesting people (yourself included). Is it the negative aspect a result of mindless content? Not the platform?
Eliezer and his acolytes believe it’s inevitable AIs will go “foom” without warning, meaning, one day you build an AGI and hours or days later the thing has recursively self improved into godlike intelligence and then eats the world. Is this realistic?
@BillyM2k Bernie Madeoff was more understandable to the average person. People hear “FTX went bankrupt losing user funds” and they just think “oh that crypto thing? Still don’t fully understand it”
@BillyM2k I think you just have to realize that the amount of people involved in crypto is a lot smaller than we tend to think. 99.9% of regular people don’t understand the scale of fraud/don’t even know who SBF is.
@I_AmSoulless @justinkan@Twitch Sorry bro, but this ain’t it. Games bring you countless hours of joy, but most cost $60 a pop. In every game you have to level up to “earn” the best stuff. With NFT’s at least you can resell the things you earn. And hopefully even keep the stuff you love to be used in other games
@Dennis_Porter_ The simple reasoning behind this is because Bitcoin is the only one that they probably understand so far. Other coins/projects are more complex
@DCLBlogger NFT’s offer a more diverse community aspect. Once you own Bitcoin you are kind of stuck only discussing Bitcoin. NFT’s have tons of diverse communities to weave in and out of.
