- The economy is not chiefly an incentive system, but an information system. It requires a reliable standard of value rooted in the irreversibility of time.

What they say: "We need governments because people are too unpredictable."
What they mean: "I don't trust people with freedom, so I want those same people to have the power to enact state-sanctioned violence on its populous; including me. I'm not bright."
Freedom, to me, is the ability to say no and mean it.
Opting out is an essential component of ethics.

This lockdown has taught me a lot.
I used to think it was freedom to do what i wanted, when I wanted. But there is way more freedom in doing what i don’t want to do. And falling in love with it. Loving the hardships. Strength of mind is freedom.

When I was a kid my dad told me about the "poor man's patent." Mail yourself the details and keep it sealed. That way you have a literal timestamp of your idea sealed up.
Now I can simply @852 and it's there forever.

Definitely need an option to see lists of both who you’ve got a troll toll set on and who’s got one set on you.
Destroys your business. Tells you they will fix it. Overcharges you to botch it worse.
A: The mob
B: Government
You have zero right to harm others. That makes viral events the perfect overreach tool. It's a legit harm, but there's no way to prove a negative, so you can overstep "just to be cautious" based on the potential infection. Tough spot.

I’ve been quarantined since immediately after CoinGeek. I think it’s the right thing to do.
But, I think people that go out have a right to risk their own lives. The part I’m really unsure about is how much risk they can morally take for others.
"I'm on a diet, so YOU can't eat donuts" is tyrannical insanity.
If you look up to a god you've already admitted you're beneath them.

This is genius. Charge idiots for being idiots. And since they're idiots, they'll pay it. 💰💰💰
