The only way to hold Bitcoin with conviction is to understand money.
The only way to understand money is to study the history of money.
Now's your chance.
My wife and I wrote a book:
Shells to Satoshi: The Story of Money and the Rise of Bitcoin

Finally, my Grok @bot Ultra usage has reset for the week.
I'll be back in about 5 hours to say "Annnnd... it's gone."
I’ve seen this too. Echo chambers are no good for anybody.
Conferences should have a peer-reviewed open call for papers if they really want to promote ideas and discourse.
Those that don’t end up being an echo-chamber or popularity contest amongst their inner circle.
I’ve seen this in academia, philosophical organizations, and specific topics from literature to Bitcoin.
If you hold a conference to share ideas, be open to submissions and have a blind peer-review process with a rubric, otherwise it’s just a way of promoting your own ideas and interests.
Centralized education will destroy everything it touches.
And people are surprised by this. It’s been going on across all levels of American education for a long time.
The administration bloat on education is abhorrent. Teachers have little to no autonomy in their classrooms.
The system needs to implode. Put education back into the hands of parents and. Communities like it was for hundreds of years.
Remove the Prussian militaristic system entirely. It’s not good for kids. It’s not good for families. It’s not good for our future.
This is what I’m going to tell my wife when I do the dishes.
“The degradation has been mitigated.”

All the wide eyed enthusiastic discussion about Fable 5 is going to turn to rage in two weeks when Anthropic switches to a pay as you go model. Expect to see a lot of fist pounding about unfairness, gaps between haves and have-nots, and how the government needs to get involved.
Maybe Congress could STOP SPENDING so inflation wouldn’t be out of control and $37k could go farther.
If only there was a way to test him a year before the election by having him defend his record in adversarial situations against other candidates in nationally televised debates. You could call it a “Primary.”
But I guess you all wanted a coronation instead.

Is it education or indoctrination?
Even if you are teaching what you think are good ideas, if it doesn’t meet the child’s cognitive abilities, e.g. reading and level of understanding abstractions vs. concretes, it’s indoctrination.

As an educator, I wake up every morning thinking of what I can learn and also what I can teach that day.
As a lover of freedom and sovereignty, I think of how I can use that knowledge to spread the values of people living a good, just, and free life that does not hinder on the ability of others doing the same.
I just hope that it somehow resonates with others. Many times, what I write goes unread but alas, I have to remember part of what I’m doing is also for me. For my joy, my love of the good, and my way of adding some light in a rage-baiting, darkening online world.

Want to know why it seems like every teacher was celebrating Charlie Kirk’s a**a*ination?
You should learn who Paolo Freire was, the man who taught that the primary purpose of the classroom was to foment revolution.
How did education get to where it is today? Look into the three men who destroyed it in today's post. *link in comments

Heroes invariably disappoint because no human being could live up to a personal ideal, but J.K. Rowling is exceptional and consistently proves herself to be the hero we need.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
