Unlike Beanie Babies, Bitcoin isn’t totally useless, but it will not be the revolutionary technology that many hope and expect it to be. So the good news is , if there is any, is that Bitcoin will not go to zero, but for those who bought it at $5k-20k it may as well be zero.… Continue reading Bitcoin : Why it won’t be revolutionary

It’s evident Vox Day does not like Ben Shapiro This ties in with an announcement by Trump on Twitter about “whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump campaign for Political Purposes”: I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ… Continue reading Are the elites worried about Trump? Not really

This is pretty funny, but at the same time appalling given that intellectual midgets like Michael Dyson are actually in positions of power and taken seriously, when he should be ridiculed and ostracized: In the comments, regardless of political affiliation, everyone agreed Michael Dyson sounded like a buffoon and had abdicated any intellectual credibility by… Continue reading Jordan Peterson vs. Michael Dyson on white privilege

Another hugely viral Scott article: BASIC INCOME, NOT BASIC JOBS: AGAINST HIJACKING UTOPIA He’s possibly overestimating the efficacy of a UBI. A UBI, according to Scott, is supposed to eliminate poverty and bring individual life fulfillment. If a UBI is $10,000/year, that is still just slightly below the poverty line (for a single person). For… Continue reading ‘Basic Jobs’ vs. Basic Income

An excellent article from the NYTs, Liberals, You’re Not as Smart as You Think This passage stood out, but the entire thing is relevant: But accusers can paint with very wide brushes. Racist is pretty much the most damning label that can be slapped on anyone in America today, which means it should be applied… Continue reading Liberals, You’re Not as Smart as You Think

I say this sort jokingly but this qualifies as possibly the ‘worst HBD article ever’: Why Do Many Geniuses Have a Large Forehead?

Christopher Langan had to special order a motorcycle helmet… Continue reading ‘worst HBD article ever’

Scott continues to raise the bar of blogging to heights never before imagined. In his recent post VARIETIES OF ARGUMENTATIVE EXPERIENCE he discusses what he calls the “hierarchy of disagreements”. At the bottom is shaming, followed by ‘gotchas’, nitpicking, etc., and at the top of the pyramid are ‘high level generators of disagreement’. My experience… Continue reading High-level generators of disagreement

One of my favorite lines is, “no one is gonna get rich with Bitcoin.” People may debate it, use it, hold conferences about it, and watch YouTube videos of Andreas Antonopoulos (who looks like a Guild Navigator from Dune)–but no one is gonna actually get rich with it. To reiterate, my prediction is Bitcoin (and… Continue reading Bitcoin: it’s not decentralized

A lot of people have heard of Nash Equilibriums and cooperative games, but don’t understand why and how they are so powerful and useful. John Forbes Nash’s major contribution to game theory was showing how cooperation can yield better results than competition, overturning conventional economic notions that competition and the so-called ‘invisible hand’ always yields… Continue reading Nash Equilibrium and cooperative games: example
