Bassload and I have frequently discussed the comparative energy consumption of AI versus the caloric intake of the human brain. The energy extracted from the Earth and converted for use would need to be significantly higher for AI to even approach the productivity/creativity levels of the human brain. AI's energy consumption would far exceed that required by humans, yet it would still not nearly match the brain's efficiency or output. The energy consumed by the soul is not of this earth and cannot be measured by earthly metrics.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” And I am a Pioneer.

There is something so powerful about “control of your response” For so long I blamed so many, and so much, for my own problems Once you go “fuck it, that’s on me to get over” things actually shift I own my emotions I recognise them But I know they’re ultimately my responsibility Which once you start working on, goes toe-to-toe with the fact that you are not responsible for the emotions of others Mindset is an investable asset Allocate accordingly 🙏🏻

What a way to spend an hour on a plane! @npub1hghnjjpnv… @npub1z4y76jl8r… First off, my wife and I always ask for “pat downs” with a medical exemption instead of going through the radiation scanners What a ride it is going through airport security, even for a domestic flight, fully frisked for “my safety”, paperwork at every step, talk about a conditioning process for the controlled Then there I am, in a small tube, going god knows how fast, looking out the window with my daughter next to me, thinkin about the past life work we had last year, and the story I was told about having known her soul before How lucky I was to get to know her again (long story, but I was a pastor in another life, and travelled to Australia once before, lost my wife and kids, and befriended a young girl who was bulk used by her own family. That same girl is now my eldest daughter) So there I am, zooming along, deep in thought, as all around me Netflix drivel is being devoured, and then boom… Red just laying it down - re-incarnation - Mu - archaeology - propaganda - plate tectonics - ufo’s - density - light Which ultimately got me thinking about control. The cypherpunks were so on point. The digital world is the perfect playground for control. Imagine trying to censor every bible ever written…? Now all you need to do is capture a handful of tech guys, and the narrative is yours. The romans in their quest for centralisation would have paid handsomely for such abilities A quick google search and it references “mythical” origins Scent expunged Gosh what a journey We’ve got to keep asking questions, talking, learning, teaching, and exploring. F*ck these scenarios where the truth is purposely hidden GM

WHY IS NOT PAYING OUT BOUNTY #9 TO ? Currently, there is a bounty for a FROST Multisig Wallet implementation in the amount of 1 BTC. Stack Wallet started work, in September 2023, on a FROST multisig wallet implementation and has had a compliant version in their app since February of this year. They applied for the bounty and it has been 8 months with no decision from HRF.

Math was always a favorite subject of mine growing up. It always came easy to me. Unfortunately I had hardcore ADHD, and had Nazi teachers that pushed me to utilize my math skills outside of class and in the criminal underworld lmao!🧐Wonder how I would of made out if I wasn’t constantly getting kicked out of class for cursing out teachers and fist fighting them?!?!🤪

The strength of the Meshconomy will be Meshtadelians trading hard money for goods, and services with other members who truly understand the value prop in participating in the circular plebconomy. Replacing everyday household items with pleb made goods will bring more than enough value to the consumer to justify the potential higher price of said goods and services.

Good day from the frontier, friends. The opening meditation by Señor Palmer from the Slop Tsunami episode was perfection. Thank you. In other news, I want to take a moment to highlight how beneficial it can be to stack #40hpw of silence on top of the recommended weekly podcast regimen. In my experience, silence is the fiber I need to help the info. digest smoothly, thereby avoiding slop-arrhea. Keep building, friends.
