What was the monthly fee for the Vision Pro, again?

[Amir @WorkaholicDavid]

When the $3500 Vision Pro came out, tech twitter and YouTubers were awfully silent about its shortcomings, issues, and lack of features that still exist day.

Now that Humane AI pin came out, it's suddenly the "worst" degice ever, even though it's only $700?
Double standards

[Rational Aussie @rationalaussie]

Governments around the world are making a nation-ending mistake in thinking you can decimate your middle class and end up with any sort of stable society.

You can't.

If you push the plebs too far, they will show you who really holds all the cards.

[vertex7 @vertexVii]

@PeterSchiff How's it looking, Pete?

[vertex7 @vertexVii]

@worstcontrarian @rationalaussie What's the most solid asset we can get into now so we don't end up furniture-less?

I'm helping test @friendtech, the marketplace for your friends on Base 🐰

Get the app and search for my Twitter username to be an early holder of my keys 🤗

@friendtech trying to auth Twitter on my new account, but entering username and then solving auth puzzle redirects back to Twitter app with no actions requested... How to auth Twitter and finish account setup?

Having joined at the top of the 17/18 cycle, my brain has been subjected to:

- 6k btc being THE bottom, only for it to fall off a cliff to 3k with people saying it’s over and expecting 2k, for it to then pump hard off 3k and start to rally

- the 2019 summer run for btc, which peaked at 13k btc before selling off again, which then lead to…

- covid crash to 3k btc, genuinely felt like EVERYTHING was over, every recovery rally had the expectation of failing and the outlook was bleak, but prices get grinding up and up and up

- mid 2020 we have defi summer, eth goes nuts with uniswap, everyone gets dropped free tokens, still no expectation of another full on bull run though, so plenty of profit taking on eth (well i did anyway 😭)

- end of 2020 we smash through BTC prev ath, and 2021 becomes a raging uponly bull market, NFTs go wild, ETH goes ballistic, and there are people in genuine disbelief. DOGE gets tweeted about by Elon and does a 250x. New paradigm, and taking profits in that madness was very very difficult

- 2021 and we get a double top, no one expected a new btc high after the first sell off, but we did and it was impossible to fkn trade it. When things started really dipping late 21 no one knew what was coming next

- 2022 bear market. Things turn to shit. FTX happened. It’s over again, crypto is finished, talks of buying sol at $3 again (sell me all you want at $3 and fuck off meme). Shit got nasty, people lost entire fortunes in that blow up, very grim.

- 2023 signs of life, but people don’t believe it, too much of a bad taste left in peoples mouths, no new ATH ever again. USDC started to depeg, whole industry shits its pants. Then we just keep going sideways, with slight pumps, but only a few saying they are buying

- 2024 and madness starts again, we are uponly again, new ATH on bitcoin again, memecoins retiring people, a dog wif a hat taking over the world, a new paradigm again, this time truly does feel different

How in the fuck does anyone stay sane during all of this? I look back and wonder how i’ve not quit already, but then i remember that the upside to crypto will always be 100x better than the downside, and you simply have to just exist long enough to pluck some fruit off the crypto tree, just don’t get greedy and try to eat it all, you’ll get sick and puke it all before making it 😊

That's because this dude doesn't know what education is.

He speaks of growing wheat, herding sheep, riding a horse, and so on, but in the era of these skills, this was the kind of education given to slaves.

Only a slave, a person who was owned as property, and used as a machine for a task, could be expected to do one task for his whole life.

A gentleman, or even a freeman of the lower classes, was not a machine for labor, but a person who could be expected to act in his own interests, and thus would need to do many different things throughout his life, depending on what served his goals at the time.

And he would need to be able to independently learn these tasks, rather than needing to be taught them in childhood.

Therefore if a boy was to formally educated, that might include some of gentleman's skills (riding, fighting with a sword, the management of finances), but his education was centered around what education really meant:

A fundamental grounding in how to live and thrive as an independent and free-willed person.

Thus, he was taught the seven liberal arts of classical antiquity:

- Arithmetic
- Geometry
- Music
- Astronomy
- Grammar
- Logic
- Rhetoric

These were not trade skills in the sense that they did not enable the performance of any particular trade or task, but that wasn't the point.

The point was that they taught the young gentleman how to think and learn.

By contrast, modern government schools were founded to train clerks and factory workers at public expense... a servant class with the specific skills necessary to be useful workers, but not the general education to be independent or question their betters?

Have you noticed which two of these arts are utterly absent from a modern government-school "education"?

That's right, logic and rhetoric. Logic is how to arrive at true conclusions from known facts. Rhetoric is how to persuade.

A servant educated in logic might notice that the things he is being told are false. A servant educated in rhetoric might notice the techniques that are being used to persuade him to act in the rulers' interests instead of his own.

If you conceive of your children's education as training in career skills, whether that be growing rice or programming a computer, you are preparing them to be slaves, not free men.

If you properly prepare them to be free men, what skills will be lucrative or useful twenty years from now is irrelevant, because they will be prepared to learn them.

In my opinion, the seven liberal arts of the modern world are:

- Logic: how to derive truth from known facts
- Statistics: how to understand the implications of data
- Rhetoric: how to persuade, and spot persuasion tactics
- Research: how to gather information on an unknown subject
- (Practical) Psychology: how to discern and understand the true motives of others
- Investment: how to manage and grow existing assets
- Agency: how to make decisions about what course to pursue, and proactively take action to pursue it.

Notice that you didn't learn any of these things in school, even if you went to a so-called "liberal arts" college. Instead, they taught you things about mitochondria and calculus and symbolism in Jon Steinbeck novels where a boy has a dog, and the dog dies.

That's because liberal arts, whether you define them as I have, or slightly differently, are the arts of the master, the arts that make one a master, and therefore not be taught in a school for slaves.

Worry less about which "career skills" AI will take over, and more about whether you are training to be, and training your kids to be, high-agency, perceptive, self-motivated people who can navigate an unknowable future with an adaptable mind.
