Yup. Reality binds, and ideology blinds
Cheap energy matters. So does breathable air.
That I can, and do, agree with.
Don't think it therefore follows that
Gen Z's concern about climate is valid — especially as they look ahead at ecological tipping points they didn’t create.
I'd sooner believe in Jesus than scary-sounding "tipping points", and Gen Zers have definitely not thought about energy deeply enough to have such a strong opinion
Ah, jezus. I knew I had you muted for a reason.
Tell me more about these supposed "rapidly looming consequences of climate change"
Thank you, siiiir. Let's me go wage some more bets

Riiiight, that's mostly why I didn't throw 100k in
edit: nope, it was a total trap.

Beautiful! Especially this bit
...sustain with what little we have, because it’s worth everything. A zap is a yes, simply because it says: “this nourished me.” Once you receive a zap for your meme—it’s a one-way street.
Love that you wrote it up so eloquently and detailed.
Here's my Fermi-paradox trouble: Where is everyone?
That’s why Bitcoin, SN, and NOSTR aren’t some alchemical dream—they’re infrastructures that enable real exchange. Where an artist can feel my affirmation: “thank you for your work, it fed my soul. Keep cooking
This is the case, and why we zap. But nobody is here, comparatively speaking; SN isn't growing anymore and Nostr is meh.
All the allows pointing in the direction you say, and it makes perfect sense... Yet normies don't give a fuck, including the very artists and writers and creative "workers" that would have the most to gain.
@SimpleStacker out here yolo-ing in, so I suppose I'm right
true... makes it better that Saylor isn't lying/deceiving investors. Is the economic mechanism different?
author's point, too, was that strong/weak institutions determine how the spoils of a resource find are spent. U.S. has weak institutions, thus it gets spent opportunistically on, in this case, the wealthy political insiders.
That point, I find nice and persuasive
