@matthew_pines DoD Announces Psychedelic Readiness Initiative, Replaces Fluoride with LSD in Tap Water. SecDef Pines: “Maybe now people will understand me when I talk about physics.”

@balajis The US needs areas like this but where the Constitution applies.

“Bill of Rights Zone” has a nice ring to it.

@amicusadastra unanticipated consequences are less of a risk than staying where we are

@matthew_pines America’s institutions gathered ‘round the dying embers of relevance

@balajis Every day it’s a roll of the dice. What do bureaucrats do during an identity crisis?

[joe @joedotslash]

@nic_carter @CaitlinLong_ Any encroachment on the role of our highly centralized storytellers is seen as a threat since power is wielded by narrative, ideation, imagination.

What are interest rates? Whatever they program. Valid news? NYT, etc.

Truth is whatever they say. Not what your senses tell you.

@Sorenthek We’re moving from the abstracted world of print (out of which the west was born) to one of the immediate, all-at-once environment of the digital.

Westen values survive “on chain” as DC and the administrative state succumb to tribalism and crises of identity.

Long hard assets.

@LukeGromen I see a forest and some trees, a person wearing a Bitcoin orange colored hat, and someone making explosive predictions on where the puck is going to be.

To prepare yourself for the world that is coming you must understand why it will be different from what most experts tell you.

That involves looking closely at the hidden causes of change.

An inevitable outcome of the post-71 structure of USD rsv status - US had to cease making things (like semiconductors & Navy ships) in favor of exporting USTs.

Once China stopped buying USTs on net in 2014, structure of USD rsv status needed to chg (to one w/a neutral rsv asset)

@jack “Once we have surrendered our senses and nervous systems to the private manipulation of those who would try to benefit from taking a lease on our eyes and ears and nerves, we don't really have any rights left.”

I’ll be honest. I haven’t read the 155-page opinion, but this WaPo subhead about a #FirstAmendment injunction is wild.

Are we supposed to be outraged by this? (On the Fourth of July, no less?) 1/

@jack @milessuter Now make a similar dashboard for nation states.

@jack @lorenzoreybtc @GrapheneOS Apple isn’t going to change.

Running open source software and cutting ties to the administrative state are increasingly the same thing.

[joe @joedotslash]

@cameron Get used to it.

In the digital age the natural impulse of traditional western governments is to push right up to the guardrails of propriety.

[joe @joedotslash]

@balajis They have all the public facing institutions that move at the speed of print. But these are failing in the digital age.

The state hanging onto power in our new environment comes via expansion of institutions that move at the speed of light: NSA, DHS, CIA, etc.
