Karl Popper was by far the greatest philosopher of the twentieth century and a very moral man. But even he was tainted by the Pattern. The philosopher Joseph Agassi, in his book A Philosopher's Apprentice, described how he tried with very limited success to dissuade the atheist Popper from his strangely uncritical acceptance of supersessionist theology:
"In addition to the vulgarity of Popper’s effort to appear Christian in some sense, it made him endorse a kind of anti-Judaism peculiar to Vienna of his early days […] The matter of attitudes to religion was one of the earliest topics of debate that I regularly tried to engage [him] with, once we got close enough to have debates in private […but he] only agreed to omit the most offensive anti-Jewish expressions from later editions of the book."

A $500 billion blockchain exists because a 15 year old cried himself to sleep over a World of Warcraft update

In 2010, Blizzard nerfed Vitalik Buterin's favorite Warlock spell in World of Warcraft

His own words: "I cried myself to sleep, and on that day I realized what horrors centralized services can bring"

Quit the game. A year later his dad showed him Bitcoin.

He couldn't mine it and couldn't afford to buy it.

So he started writing articles for a crypto blog for 5 BTC each, worth about $3.50 at the time.

Those 5 BTC are worth $335,000 today for ONE article.

Co-founded Bitcoin Magazine at 17.
Applied for a job at Ripple.
They accepted him but couldn't sponsor his visa.

At 19 he proposed major changes to Bitcoin.
The community said no.

So he wrote his own whitepaper. Called it Ethereum.
30 developers reached out within weeks.

Dropped out of college. Got a $100K Thiel Fellowship. Sold ETH at $0.31 in the ICO and raised $18 million.

One person spent $310,000 on 1 million ETH in that sale worth around $4.3 billion at peak.

Another one invested $263 and got 850 ETH now worth over $1.7 million.

Ethereum launched when Vitalik was 21. Peak market cap: over $500 billion.

All because Blizzard nerfed a Warlock spell.

@ScottAdamsSays @joelpollak I've been reading you since your blog days many years ago. Your deceptively simple ideas about diet, exercise, fitness, and happiness probably influenced me more than anything else, and helped me become successful.
