Initial generations of any technology follow a nearly identical pattern of over-enthusiasm and over-investment by hobbyists reaching the same limitations and failing to circumvent them. The subsequent generations of technology put greater investment in the hard work of solving the limitations, and paying the high cost of reorganizing the entire model if necessary. This is why first movers do not generally make the money that later movers do. I’ve said for years now that (a) the idea itself is brilliant, but (a) proof of work requiring waste heat is a pretty bad design, (b) btc are shares in a vulnerable network and as such a token money substitute persistently retaining that vulnerability, (c) I predicted that centralized, monolithic versions of the idea using mainstream technology and maintained by the treasury and banking organizations will succeed where distributed systems will not, for the simple reason that the user interface for, security of, response time for, archival ability for, and insurability by an insurer of last resort capable of restitution of losses, will have all the utility advantages without any of the weaknesses. (d) hence the distributed nature is not as valuable as the fractional share and record of title, and all we are doing is free research and development for the state, and the private banking network, check cashing networks, etc. I am extremely thrilled by the ICO model and self issuance of fractional shares because it totally screws big finance. I’m extremely thrilled by the ability to create a portfolio of digital monies that can only be used for certain exchanges. However, I have zero faith whatsoever in the durabiity of any form of encryption, or any distributed software, until there is a firmware revolution – which is a long way off.

Fix the Means of Calculation (decidability) and Fix the Problem
You know, I love my laboring, working, middle class, and upper middle class brothers, because they are by and large a moral bunch. But unlike most of them I have spent time with and largely been one of our upper class cousins. And my working class brothers in particular vastly overestimate their understanding of those classes – and just how mentally and emotionally superior they are. Even if they are less … moral … by a long shot. And especially because unlike me, those cousins have abandoned responsibility for using their abilities and positions in the interests of my brothers. Most of us who are moral operate heavily by moral intuitions. We cannot imagine that people that have power of any kind have it because it is given to them in exchange for furthering the interests of those who have a portfolio of property in toto. They do not sense. They calculate. Because they must. With the right formulae to calculate with they will act very differently. But they are entirely capable of rule once they are limited to the formulae to calculate with that is in the interests of my brothers. We have all been under democratic propaganda so long we do not remember the obvious: we are different in ability, and there are a fairly large number who are exceptional in ability in every field. The problem is we must restore the relationship between their interests and ours – and we must do it by violent imposition of those rules – those rules of morality we call reciprocity. -

Technology: Opinions on BTC, Digital Shares, Digital Title

(d) lack of posting (rolling up fragments into a single new share and retiring the old) is a bad design. (e) lack of federation and sharding is a bad design.

However, I have zero faith whatsoever in the durability of any form of encryption, or any distributed software, until there is a firmware revolution – which is a long way off. Two part keys have been with us since we cut tics in sticks of wood – literally since we evolved speech. I haven’t been wrong so far. It is very unlikely that I err.

We Are Men. We Form Packs. We Hunt. when We Discover a New Technique We Converge on It.
Criticizing a sacred cow? Hit a value-nerve? eh? We are all working to define a path to a future for our people and that process is exhaustive and fractally fragmented. Once we exhaust the search we will coalesce on what survives as a possibility. Men are not women. We specialize into small packs. The packs that mailnvest will disappear. Those that do not will converge. As always. Abandon equality and homogeneity – they are women’s work. Understand that we are men. We specialize. We form packs. We hunt. We innovate. We imitate, and we improve – and little by little we become the gods we desire to be. Man is glorious.May 09, 2018 9:08pm -

IT’S THE TRUTH THAT’S UNKIND
You know, for the sake of relationships I try to keep quite a bit to myself. That’s why I use distractions of teasing, play, and buffoonery to circumvent many topics.
And you know, I thought my wife walked on water. You can’t imagine.
But once in a while things leak out under autistic duress.
“I am not a life support system for a vagina. Either a marriage is mutually beneficial or it is not. I have to be happy too.”
I was like — “Wow, was that my outside voice. That stuff is NEVER supposed to come out of the cage….” lol
Or “Do you always tell your friends that you despise your husband?”
Or “Did you know a marriage is over once your face shows a disgust response, and it’s only a matter of time?”
These events were rare. I think my wife and I had two fights during our marriage, and even our agreement to divorce was civil. And even then she said one of them wouldn’t have happened but she misunderstood me. And again, I still think all things considered she walks on water.
People sometimes think I’m unkind but I think I’m extremely patient and considerate given what generally goes through my mind while their speaking.
It’s the truth that’s unkind.
