I feel like I’m watching the outtakes of Weekend at Bernie’s, Wag the dog, Idiocracy, Being There, and Shooter, to name a few.

Had an opsec moment this week with a counterparty in a negotiation. They sent me a zoom invite and it’s there in black and white - AI transcription and summary. Fuck that. Setup a burner group call and called them on their cells.

The season finale of severance was awesome. Far better than the last episode of “murica” with all the bad actors and bad plot lines when the last episode jumped the shark 😂

@dwr.eth The instant recovery of the iPhone warpcast app with face id after a new phone when the old man lost his is awesome. Well done!

Thanks for your thoughtful response and I agree. I also think nexus is a must read for all crypto people as it really moves attention to how humans organise around narratives rather than dry information and “facts” or canonical forms. My take is that to be effective you have to focus on the goal of organizing rather than the goal of being “right”. As we know from audience capture in podcasts, right can be wrong for the wrong community disassociated from facts.

Lol. That’s just partisan opinion on partisan opinion. In other words he wrote a stirring book. He’s a historian not a scientist. You could say the same about any Niall Ferguson book, who recognises him as the best living historian.

It must be nice to have a correct unified theory of everything that lets you criticise and determine what’s proper or not for a midwit like me 😀

I like to read things across the spectrum and make up my own mind. If I was reading for my confirmation bias I’d be bored - and stupid.

I was told they do. So I asked the question. It can be a bad question.

I was privileged to spend yesterday in the paddock and do a full practice season in the AM garage listening in on the radios. Thanks to everyone there for making me feel like family and giving me a truly extraordinary experience.

I’ve started sending eviction notices this week to American politics; and am cleaning house. I’m sick of it living rent free in my head.

Question 1. Part 2. My second job was my first job in finance. I was hired to research the use of neural networks in trading. I did write a derivatives basket pricing optimiser, but the business lost interest. I was out of a job but I met the head of funds management marketing who put me on the grad program at 26 and also gave me a project to try to get data out of the mainframe finance system into a sql database. I successfully wrote that system single handledly which then leads to the next question I got.

Question 1. What was your first job? My first job was a research assistant building and running lab equipment measuring the classical conditioning of the rabbit eyeblink and modeling the rabbit brain pathways in simulation. My second job was getting recruited to work on a complex financial services application.

I’m 58, lived a life with more to live and seen more than I probably should have. What would make for interesting topics and conversations for me to contribute to (including topics like don’t end a sentence with a preposition 😀)?
