Was listening to a podcast about games where they mentioned a dark pattern where companies will create an enticing trailer to get people to download the game just to rug them with some entirely different game. The hope is that a percentage of those that download the game will stay.

https://youtu.be/2469Y_kIOuY?si=mt4rZSfg_vrYCOj1 Milton Friedman says the American people would buy the US treasuries if people abroad started selling them. Very interesting that Bessent has said he wanted to deregulate the banks so that American people be the new buyers.

One obvious tell that you use the timeline as your primary source of information is that your takes are reactions to reactions.

Writing and coding help your thinking, but it sucks that they are two different skills, and that learning one skills doesn't automatically make you better at the other. In writing, you have to factor in emotions, but you get to be less stringent with your logic. Programming has no emotions, but it's very strict on logic.

Interesting lecture on China's Grand Strategy Essentially, China has a plan to subvert US hegemony. The actions of those plans depends on the perceived threat and power gap. Doshi argues they have moved into the global expansion part of their plan.

Action produces information Been trying to tie together very disparate subjects into one neat blog, but found the common thread today by inverting it. I was only able to invert it because I traveled the distance first.

Simone de Beauvoir argued that everyone’s freedom is interconnected because true freedom cannot exist in isolation—my freedom depends on the freedom of others. e.g. standing on the shoulders of giants. If they didn’t use their freedom, I wouldn’t have been able to stand on their shoulders.

There’s a lot of talk about reserve currency status now adays because of tariffs. One thing that doesn’t get mentioned enough is what are the alternatives? The renminbi isn’t better, it’s just the option you choose when you have no other option. This goes into my broader question about the doom and gloom in the US with respect to its other institutions. What are the alternatives? In my mind, there are no real alternatives. In the case that US falls, all of the institutions would be American institutions but with ccp characteristics. So then, what’s stopping someone from creating a new institution and disrupting the old one with the internet? This new institution would have the internet as a distribution innovation and be on the right side of history because the internet will encompass more of our lives not less. This is why I think the most likely outcome is founders of new institutions working together with government, and thus we will see the rise of the Technological Republic.

Learned about Triffin's Dilemma today. Essentially, if the US deficits keeps getting worse, confidence in the dollar will erode and its status as the reserve currency will disappear. On the other hand, if liquidity isn't introduced into the world, the economy will contract. He proposed replacing the dollar's role as the world's primary reserve currency with a new reserve unit.

Also need to consider your mental state because that effects your perception.

Although it is better to keep things simple, there is something about creating a complex mess and then simplifying it. It's akin to writing a draft and then selecting the essential pieces, or the videographer that records from many different angles in order to piece it together into one whole.
