One person is known for creation.

The other person is known for weaponizing jealousy by telling people who to envy.

[Adam Back @adam3us]

you can nobble your nodes if you want.
you can fork off and find out if you want.
or write a sternly worded letter to the internet.
you can make silly analogies.

but you can't censor bitcoin as
we run the nodes.
we are the tolerant minority.
we keep bitcoin censorship resistant.

Elon has created thousands of new millionaires through SpaceX alone.

How many millionaires has Bernie Sanders created AOC? Elizabeth Warren? Zohran Mamdani?

For all their talk about wanting to help Americans, these politicians haven’t done much. Despite this, such politicians are eager to demonize those who have. They largely complain about successful Americans.

Their political existence is dependent on being able to point fingers at someone for their followers to be jealous of. Take away the weaponized jealousy and they provide remarkably little value.

Satan offered Jesus the whole world.

Jesus already owned it.

A self-taught Irish schoolteacher wrote a book in 1854 that almost nobody read for 80 years, until a 21-year-old MIT student picked it up and realized it could be used to design every computer in human history.

His name was George Boole. The book is called An Investigation of the Laws of Thought.

Boole was born in 1815 in Lincoln, England. His family was poor. He left school at 16 to support them. He taught himself Latin, Greek, French, German, and Italian.

Then he taught himself mathematics. By 19 he had opened his own school. By 24 he was publishing original papers in the Cambridge Mathematical Journal, competing with men who had spent decades inside the best universities in Britain.

He never had a degree. He never had a mentor. In 1849, Queen's College in Cork hired him as a professor anyway.

In 1854, he published his masterwork. What he built inside it was something nobody had attempted before at this scale. He turned logic into algebra.

Before Boole, logic was philosophy. You argued in sentences. You reasoned in paragraphs. It was powerful and completely impossible to automate, because there was no formal system underneath it, just language.

Boole stripped it down to arithmetic. He showed that every act of human reasoning could be reduced to operations on two values. True or false. One or zero. AND, OR, NOT. If both conditions are true, the result is true. If neither is, the result is false. Every judgment a human mind makes, every decision, every deduction, could be written as an equation following those rules.

Logicians read it. They found it interesting. Engineers building machines had never heard of it.

For 83 years, the book sat there.

Then in 1937, a 21-year-old MIT master's student named Claude Shannon was working on a thesis about electrical relay circuits. Switches that could be open or closed. Current that either flowed or didn't.

He read Boole and understood something nobody had connected before.

An open switch is a zero. A closed switch is a one. A circuit with two switches in series only carries current when both are closed. That is AND. A circuit with two switches in parallel carries current when either is closed. That is OR. Shannon proved that every possible logical relationship Boole had described could be physically built using wire and switches.

That single insight is the foundation of every computer ever made.

After Shannon, chip designers stopped thinking about electricity and started thinking about logic. Every transistor on every processor running right now is implementing a Boolean operation. Every if-statement in every codebase is Boolean logic. Every database query using AND or OR. Every neural network threshold that fires or doesn't fire. All of it is running the algebra of a self-taught schoolteacher from Lincoln who died 160 years ago.

The strangest part is what happened to Boole at the end.

He was walking to class in November 1864 when he got caught in a rainstorm. He lectured for hours in wet clothes. He went home sick. His wife, Mary, believed in homeopathic medicine and thought the cure should mirror the cause. She wrapped him in wet sheets and poured cold water over him repeatedly.

He died a few days later. He was 49.

He never saw a transistor. He never saw a circuit. He never saw a single physical machine run a single one of his rules.

His book is in the public domain. Free to download. Most engineers use the word Boolean dozens of times a week. Almost none of them know who they are saying.

The man whose logic runs inside every phone, every server, and every AI model on Earth died soaking wet in a small Irish town, 83 years before anyone figured out what he had actually built.

Are you aware of the theory of “multiple intelligences”?

It suggests intelligence isn’t just about test scores or being good at math. Some people are word smart, music smart, people smart, nature smart, body smart, or deeply self-aware.

And honestly, life proves it every day.

What kind of “smart” do you think you are? I also believe that most of us can have more than one of these.

🚨 A serious flaw in Arista switches is being exploited right now — and Arista says it won't fix it.

It's one of 3 actively exploited bugs CISA just flagged, alongside Cisco and Google Chrome.

Federal agencies have until June 23 to act.

Trust in information -> Trust in decision making -> Trust in execution

(Human-serving) agentic payment, commerce, & finance will only happen if we solve agentic information gathering and decision making first.

#AbrahamLincoln's goal during the #CivilWar was always to hold America together. Of course, by 1863 he saw no way to do that while allowing slavery, so the struggle to preserve America also became a struggle to free millions of people. #AbeSays
