Undisciplined

Punishment is a public good, k00b. Absent incentives, it will be underprovisioned. More thoughts coming soon.

Harm at meaningful scale is a much lower bar than extinction risk. Human extinction would pretty much have to be a sterilization event. We’re pretty resilient.

Following up on your comments about Stacker News. It’s not that they want it to be siloed away from nostr. It was started before nostr was a thing and they’re building integration. Right now it’s similar to Fountain: if you have an npub, your posts can go out to nostr relays and be broadcast as notes but not everyone does and their posts live entirely on the site. I believe further integration is on the devs roadmap.

Even more than the norm on nostr, I was struck by how much calmer the conversations are on Stacker News than is typical on social media.

The climate scam primarily worked by restricting funding to scientists who came to the right conclusions and cited the right studies. In my experience, most of the researchers are honest actors.

The most divisive people, of course, were those of us who didn’t want to completely excise the medically noncompliant from society.

The AOC stuff isn’t for you. You point that out all the time with public messaging from other people.

I remember a local scandal where politicians were caught selling their votes for as little as $1500.

I also pitched a sheriff badge, Car.

The psyop is more about why the message is getting pushed than whether it’s a genuinely held belief.

Maximum Carnage was dope!

Stacker News: The more you spend, the more you save!

If you aren’t already familiar with their work, I think you’d be interested in the work of Jonathan Haidt and Arnold Kling. They’re both social scientists who were interested in understanding these different types of groups that form societies. Each of them independently found there to be three main groups that breakdown roughly along the lines you laid out. Although, something weird may have happened to the left because conformity with authority isn’t usually part of it. You would most likely be in the smaller of the three groups that approximately maps to libertarians.

I’m genuinely curious about whether I would beat Sasha in a game of 1-on-1

Obviously, the best HR celebration for the Orioles would be a Slip N Slide into home plate.

One listener described our racism as very nuanced

Forget but never forgive

Wow, Car and k00b drop shorts!

Wow! K00b talkin mad shit after I left such a nice congratulatory note. Gloves are coming off now.

We talked to @Chrisliss about how NY sports fans choose their teams. Listen to our extra-many episode to find out. Btw, k00b’s probably right about Brunson’s height. Most players lie about how tall they are.

Ironically, one of Trump’s biggest shortcomings is that he hasn’t been more vindictive.

Trump won by so much because people hate being afraid of voicing their opinions

😂 The producer had enough of me and just started the outro music.

How did you guys miss Bonds as the best baseball player without a championship?

For those who follow sports: https://fountain.fm/show/syQHHkLs59GQ1eFAe64t

Have you guys looked into xenohormesis?

There’s an interesting book called Fake Invisible Catastrophes that talks a bit about how and why so many hysterias aren’t around things that are individually verifiable.

I agree with that whole opening segment…and still think you’re wrong. I also agree that this is the best podcast. Your interests and sentiments overlap with mine and yet you also have a different perspective than me.

You guys sure spent a lot of time being tremendously wrong about Magic vs Pistons

This episode better be worth the wait

We sure did see how the Raiders D held up

What’s k00b most excited to work on, post wallets?

I love the discussion of how to measure value and stewardship of our communities. These are deep ideas and it’s interesting seeing how you guys are thinking through them. You’re coming up with a different solution set to Stacker News and I’m fascinated to see how it develops.

Darth is such a maxi that Stacker News isn’t even pure enough for him

Another great episode. Happy to be on the life raft with you

Way to talk good, guys!

You should do a draft only taking Real Men

We’re rocking along at about two rounds of draft per day

I have a similar approach to learning. You can get pretty far on a wide variety of things by being observant, curious, and reflective, without needing to do much memorization.

My car broke just like Oshi’s while I was picking up my prom date.

Way to model health and fitness, fellas. Car, if I were designing an immunity taco, it would have lots of garlic and be super spicy.

I don’t think k00b would passive aggressively throw shade on other bitcoiners. Who would do that?
