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.

Who else is switching to @Grok and canceling any other AI accounts?
I am a one person, self funded nonprofit. I research primary sources and use them in conjunction with AI to help me with tasks on a daily basis. This allows me to continue my work building FREE history of money curriculum.
I have degrees in education, history, and anthropology. All attained through hard work and grit. I have worked in education for a long time, have built curriculum for 20 years. I know how to do the work and I put in the effort.
However, I’m one person doing everything to help kids learn about what money is, how it works, and how modern monetary policies impact them personally. Therefore, I am relying on AI to help me build out my nonprofit so teachers, parents, and communities have free resources to use.
The fact that Claude rewrites everything I write when I use it to build out aspects of the lessons (that I later edit) and to help me with marketing is ridiculous. I tell it to leave text as it is in sections and it still rewrites it.
And, over the last week or so, it is getting worse. I’ve been spending more time re-writing back to my original ideas and text as it reinterprets things I input, including primary sources (these have to be quoted precisely), just to put their watermark on it.
I was thinking that the models must be getting “dumber,” constantly trying to get the same output I had gotten before. But alas, the truth came out (and as it is want to do, it has set me free).
People who are against using AI as a tool, are missing the point of technological innovation. It doesn’t replace people, it helps them work more efficiently, more precisely, more effectively, when used well. Negating any use of AI in ones work, is like saying, “I won’t eat that produce because a modern tractor with automatization harvested it.”
Yes, I know some people may not put in the work,may just use AI without thought or effort, but it shows in their output. Garbage in, garbage out.
AI is a tool to make our lives easier, a tool to allow us to work smarter, a tool for humans to flourish.
I explain these principles to my students. Ten year olds can conceive of this, they can see and learn that AI is a useful tool but doesn’t replace their effort, their work, their minds. I just wish those with some kind of power (some AI execs and politicians) could also grasp that concept.

This is what I’m going to tell my wife when I do the dishes.

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.
Corporations like Amazon don't want to pay their workers OR hire American workers
Last year, Amazon's CEO made $40.1 MILLION. How much did the average Amazon worker make? Only $37,181.
How are you supposed to raise a family on $37,181?

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.
The answer is CLEAR.
Trump will NOT denounce mRNA, or AI Governance because Trump is working on behalf of the Transhumanist ghouls at the WEF and their 4th Industrial Revolution NWO.
This isn’t “5D Chess” we have been egregiously DUPED.

Paging @BrianRoemmele
📁 Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

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.
Centralized regulatory agencies are in the business of laundering reputations. CDC, FDA, SEC, the domain doesnt matter. They’ll always get captured. People will die, be poisoned, and get swindled because we thought we could delegate our brains and discernment to Federal agencies.
