Which points would you like to disregard? The man thinks he's an expert on money, art, history, diet, exercise, media, climate, energy and epidemiology. And everyone who disagrees or likes the wrong posts is blocked. He prides himself on not reading MSM (which is fine!) , but then takes pride in crafting an extremely narrow social media bubble.
The Bitcoin Standard was the book that (finally) made Bitcoin "click" for me so I'm forever grateful for that. At the same time the book was full of red flags. For example the stuff on art, baseless speculation on Keynes, etc. I'm not even talking about his Twitter...
One example: the 100% carnivore diet is contradicted by 300k years of human evolution. We have evolved omnivore teeth, an omnivore digestive tract, and a complete metabolic pathway to be able to burn carbohydrates. Even true carnivores only eat ~80% meat. Carnivore diet is complete and utter bullshit
If we push the developing world (by refusing to finance anything except solar/wind development) into developing more expensive sources of energy, isn't that good for developed countries?
i mean... in terms of understanding incentives... wouldn't it make sense to encourage your potential competitors to become reliant on more expensive sources of energy, so that the benefits of using dirty energy only accrue to the wealthiest countries with the infrastructure to use it?
