I'm not a big IR buff or anything but it sounds like Rothbard was a pretty straightforward Realist. He's obviously a bit more introspective than I'd guess the average realist is.
They call me Abe Linkin because I free links: https://archive.is/GmPBG
I've watched a few episodes of Baskets with my wife (who is non-coincidentally a clown). I enjoyed it.
Most people might not think of it as a comedy, and it's certainly not a comedy-comedy, but I loved Ted Lasso.
Succession is also a recent favorite.
I tend to prefer large stories, and most comedy-comedy shows tend to be pretty episodic, or at least not as considerate of the larger story. I also prefer my comedy a little dryer and quieter than most comedy-comedies end up being.
I take the "strong opinion" part as meaning that you act as though you really believe it and don't hem-and-haw when expressing your views.
Fair. But I suspect everyone with strong opinions believes they are intellectually honest and loosely holding them. And when I encounter a strong opinion, I'm taking a more of a risk than I want should I try to help.
I don't know what I'm advocating for exactly, but I don't mind a good hem and haw. It lets me know where I can assist them in forming an opinion.
Maybe I'm meeting bad practitioners, but the loosely held part is commonly overwhelmed by the strong opinion part.
IME strong opinions only loosen, if ever, 24+ hours after I've exhausted myself combating their "strength." In a single exchange, there's a bias to support one's strong opinion beyond its lifespan.
It's like the "fake it till you make it" of thinking.
Isn't it the opposite?
I guess that's my point. The strong part keeps people from even bothering to try and help loosen opinions.
When I'm working from home on saturdays, on average I finish the newsletter 4 hours later than I do when I'm in the office. It's almost like focus is sort of location/context dependent.
I'm still using an iPhone XS. I think next year it'll probably stop getting updates and it's super banged up and nearly dies before I get to bed most days.
My plan is to switch to a Pixel and put Graphene OS on it.
Has Bitcoin changed the way you purchase phones, or tech in general?
It's made me more privacy conscious. It's also made me more conscious of disk space - I like to make sure I have enough space on devices to run a full node if I get the itch to.
Is AI useful for you?
I find it occasionally awesome and frustrating, and in a goldilocks ratio, meaning it's early and going to be a really big deal sooner rather than later. I haven't really tried to "get into" AI, yet I'm using AI all the time.
Weed is illegal in Austin and I don't partake, but I'd guess people buy in bulk, drive it in from out of state, and resell at 20-50% markup over dispensary prices. I'm purely guessing, but I'd expect it's $40-60 per 1/8th.
$40 for an ounce of shake isn't that surprising. I've seen $100 for high quality shake - something you'd make ice water hash with.
