Watch @datasociety, @nytimes coverage & payment channels.


I remember the polite discussion about liquidity, clearing, custody, spreads, etc. By the end, they were laughing at us. There is something about *institutional* ridicule that allows those who had just blown up the world to deride others even when the institutions are disgraced.

Bitcoin at the time felt totally sketchy as a financial instrument as it was tied to contraband. But I didn’t see it as money. If I did, I would be unimaginably wealthy if I didn’t lose it all to digital theft, accidental loss or spending it .  But I am an idiot in these matters.
First off, Merry Xmas to all.

This was genius. I reasoned at the time that it didn’t make sense to me as a medium of exchange.

And I hated the blockchain. What the Satoshi collective had done was genius. But there should be no ledger. Gold, as a wave, doesn’t tell you where it has been. So instead I dreamed of meeting the Satoshis and getting rid of that damn implementation by using digital bundles.

So much so that I want to reciprocate: BTC is one of the most important developments of our lives. I read Allen’s piece. I’d like to engage your community as I take you all very seriously. But I don’t think I am who you see me as being.  
The simple theory of universal institutional collapse in a society built around assumptions of growth.


The important thing is that BTC is a hedge against the manipulation of the world by central banking, economists and corrupt institutions. If you can accept that it is not my religion I can accept that it is without peer among recent inventions: markets ARE the alternative to war.
Picture a skyline of Transamerica Buildings and think of all our institutions as pyramids of some kind w/ different slopes.


Markets are the alternative to tyranny and central control. And having a digital gold is essential. I am not trying to save BTC. I am not trying to introduce a new alternative coin. I am worrying about tyranny and the blockchain as ledger. I am worried about what is to come.

Let us imagine that Governments wake up. That they realize that the way to control what that cannot control is violence. In such a situation, I don’t want a record of all transfers. Even an anonymous record. That’s what I am on about. Perhaps that is misguided. If so: explain.


But telling me that Juan Maldacena is a genius for writing about gauge theory and markets and that I am a mere entertainer who needs to know is place is absurd. Funny actually.

I’ve been on your side...w gauge theory...since well before BTC. Early 1990s. The goal is to disintermediate the institutional players to liberate markets to avoid tyranny. So running me down using bullshit to score points is anti-Bitcoin in spirit. Makes us all look weak & dumb.


Anyway, I would love to learn from your community as well as to share what I know. And I am not looking to introduce a “shitcoin”.

So much so that I want to reciprocate: BTC is one of the most important developments of our lives. I read Allen’s piece. I’d like to engage your community as I take you all very seriously. But I don’t think I am who you see me as being.

|content=I’ve been on your side...w gauge theory...since well before BTC. Early 1990s. The goal is to disintermediate the institutional players to liberate markets to avoid tyranny. So running me down using bullshit to score points is anti-Bitcoin in spirit. Makes us all look weak &amp; dumb.

|content=CPI is broken. Why?
|content=I’m just repeating what bitcoiners say. You need to clear up this confusion.


Think of CPI as a gauge like a thermometer. You can’t have politically motivated folks making your thermometers or they can change the design to cover up climate change. Likewise you can’t have economists changing the gauge to disguise the effect of printing.
They *literally* often tell me “Bitcoin Fixes Everything.” In those three words w/ the certainty of God.


The economists can’t yet compute a dynamic Cost-Of-Living-Adjustment or COLA or “Chained Changing Preference Ordinal Welfare Konus Index” to be perfectly pedantic. Not because it doesn’t exist. But because they don’t have the math and don’t want to lose their finger on the scale.
That is usually just before they tell me I don’t get it for asking how #btc solves an issue X.

We must take CPI away from those who wish to back out a political agenda of printing money, raising our taxes by indexed tax brackets and slashing our indexed social security & Medicare.
I've heard Eric Weinstein and now Lex Fridman both get it wrong.  
 
It's not "#bitcoin fixes everything."
 
It's "#bitcoin fixes this."

Economics can’t construct dynamic economic gauges like CPI/GDP until it learns gauge thy.


But more importantly, we have a culture that economics literally trumpets (and I swear I am not making this up) “Economic Imperialism”. It is “we know math and you don’t”-culture.

No. They don’t know their own math. I will debate any high ranking economist on this point.

It’s time to reveal that economics, far from embracing math or having physics envy, is deliberately avoiding solutions to old problems so that it can make up new gauges for CPI/GDP at will while telling the rest of the soft sciences “We know your field better because we do math.”

No. Economics is a avoiding gauge theory, connections, Lie Groups, etc so it can retain its political relevance as an expert consultancy. I’m with the crypto folks on this. Our economy must be protected from Seigniorage (printing money) and CPI tampering (e.g. Boskin Commission).


CPI should not
MUST NOT
be adjustable to disguise inflation. It needs to be protected from the FED diluting the power of money and the BLS being free to disguise the effects by changing the method of construction.

Think of [[CPI]] as a gauge like a thermometer. You can’t have politically motivated folks making your thermometers or they can change the design to cover up climate change. Likewise you can’t have economists changing the gauge to disguise the effect of printing.

This is about not even having a correct *theory* to calculate. What we corrected was theory.

The issue of how to implement a theory in practice leases to different data being collected and different aggregations. For a different theory, you would collect different data.

You are a wave. You excite a totally different portion of the medium wherever you go. That medium is called a vector bundle.

|content=@juliusgu23 @C_Ups17 @Slash We went to elementary school together. He was obviously super bright when he was Saul. But he was also close to being a juvenile delinquent. A bit scary. Extremely  charismatic. I wasn’t aware of him playing music back then. But I always knew he was going to have a wild ride.

Music that may be popular with others but that has zero cultural currency in your social world. Could use some inspiration. Thanks in advance!

|content=One of my goals is to better connect the pirate radio of the anglophone podcasting world to our counter-parts in India. As such, it was a thrill to sit down with Prakhar.
 
Having done this now with @amitvarma in Bombay/Mumbai,  and @prvkhvr just now, I can say that I really appreciate the difference in the content, style and focus. Indian podcasting is accurately reflecting the true cultural shadings in the rhythm of discourse, and the questions are often entirely different at the level of substance.
 
I firmly believe that we in the West are set to relearn the lesson of Indians writing in English; many of the worlds best English language conversationalists right now are Indian, tilted towards Hindi spiced British English, and they could possibly truly completely transform the entire space for the better.
 
That said, I specifically don't want to say "@BeerBicepsGuy is the Rogan of Indian podcasting just as @prvkhvr is the Lex Fridman"..or some such nonsense. That would be totally uninteresting. We already have a @lexfridman and a @joerogan. This only gets really interesting when India serves up an ecosystem that is really *new*, and thus self-confident enough not to measure its success by a self-imposed western yardstick.
 
If I am correct, English speaking India is a sleeping giant, capable of shaking up the world of long-form English language podcasting in the next 10 years. Right now, the U.S. really has no meaningful image of modern India. Hopefully, long-form podcasting is going to change that. I would love to be even a small part of making that happen.
 
Whether I am right in the above line of thinking, or whether this is just a hopeful dream, I can't say. But there is only one way to find out; let's try it.
 
Happy new year to all and Shabbat shalom.
 
[à€°à€Łà€”à„€à€°, à€šà€Čà„‹ à€źà„‡à€°à„‡ à€Šà„‹à€žà„à€€ ! And congratulations on @naval. That was great.]

|content=Yikes. That seemed funny at first.
 
Is this coming from the anti-Semite/pro-Hamas world? The Whitney Webb world? The Bitcoin maximalist world? The pro-peer review world? There are so many of these angry groups, I lose track.
 
There are all these seemingly different worlds that are attempting to enmesh me in their drama(s). Usually (maybe 85%) of the time, these ringleaders eventually are found to have issue with Jews and/or Israel no matter what the ostensible area of endeavor.
 
Thanks just the same and Shabbat shalom.

|content=Let me first say hello to you. We have never met. As I write this I have no idea who you are. I don’t know if you are pro Trumpor pro Harris. Or if you are British or Peruvian. I don’t know if you are Buddhist. Or if you are a die hard Jewish commando serving in the IDF.
 
You and I do not know each other, there is no desire on my part to engage further with a random account that is using facts in my life that I am very proud of to make up a story to animate a group of accounts to harass me. You are neither the first nor the only one doing this. In other dramas I am a Mossad agent, or Peter-Theils henchman, or George Soros’ agent.
 
That wasn’t my first response. My first response to being attacked was to respond to someone else 4 days ago because I thought they were a poor confused soul.
 
I have a policy of not responding to people telling stories to incite mobs against me. It’s hopeless. They don’t listen. And they take the real responses as denials which animates them more.
 
Such people aren’t critics. They are usually wounded and traumatized souls trying to figure out what is true in this crazy situation. And for that I have a lot of sympathy. But my life is too short and too rich to want to live as a badly sketched character in your story so that your followers can hate a life long progressive restrictionist as the architect of the world’s uncontrolled migration.
 
I can however do this. Read what I wrote 4 days ago. I posted the quoted response 100 hours ago when I thought this was one person. The Israel angle came about because I started to see accounts harass me that were fairly consistently anti-Jewish and/or anti-Israel. I do not mean to tar you with a broad brush if that doesn’t apply to you. It’s a statistical observation. I don’t know your politics. But the idea that I am the secret architect of the world’s migration system is utterly disconnected from reality as to defy easy explanation.
 
And please undo and disperse your mob of followers who you have convinced to harass me.
 
Bottom line, you are wrong. I don’t want you or your followers posing as critics demanding a conversation by harassing and threatening a stranger.
 
I am going to assume you personally are at worst neutral on Jews and on Israel. I apologize if I raised that unfairly from observing the accounts attacking me suddenly over being the UN’s globalist migration czar. But I am not going to get into a back and forth over this Internet theory with an account stirring up its followers into a mob to harass a stranger.
 
Hope this help. Truly.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but you are coming across as drama-seeking, rather than truth seeking. And I avoid such accounts like the plague.
 
I gave you my answer to one of your followers 4days ago.

A) "Ha. It's just about money Eric."</br>

C) "It's the Jews. Duh."</br>

F) "Bitcoin fixes this. Been solved since 2009."</br>

I) "It's always been this way. You waking up now??"</br>
J) "It's all about the Gold Standard & Bretton Woods"</br>
K) "Clutch your pearls. The AI will sort it out."</br>
L) "China is playing Chess while we play Checkers."</br>
M) "Aliens have been behind everything since Roswell."</br>
N) "Qatar has been planning this forever...or Putin."</br>
O) "Cough cough. Project 2025 anyone?"</br>
P) "You act like you've never heard of Klaus Schwab!"</br>

Y) "Pfizer & big Pharma decide what we can even think."</br>
Z) "The Electric Universe & Panpsychism homie, FTW!"
 
So am I to understand that Freemason pedophiles embedded in the Deep State who outsourced the overthrow of the US to Chinese Jews, got America off the gold standard so that Trump could bring Qatari Islamo-Fascism to America via Bitcoin which was developed by Aliens? Or is it that a Vatican AI developed Project 2025 to complement the UN's war on Europe via Soros billions?
 
I understand its all very simple to many of you. But consider that those of you who favor a single explanation for everything, think that this is very simple in all sorts of very *different* and seemingly incompatible ways.
 
Just a thought.

|content=With respect to our institutions in the west, I can’t stop seeing the fundamental division as being into two basic groups:
 
A) HIGH TRUST: “Sure, they aren’t perfect; I myself like to think independently. But they are better than any of the crazy alternatives.”
 
B) LOW TRUST: “I don’t get how anyone still listens to legacy institutions. They are over.”
 
——
 
I bring this up because what I don’t see is C)
 
C) DECLINING TRUST: “I cannot believe that our previously high quality institutions are being looted and/or crumbling at this rate. They are decaying from a very high height, so they are still working in many areas but they are already pure poison in others. We can’t live modern prosperous secure lives without them. So why are we exhibiting universal learned helplessness with respect to getting rid of the rot? Why the all or nothing thinking? What is going on?  It’s like someone attacked us by convincing us to hollow ourselves out so you could knock us over with a feather.”
 
I’m in C). And I find it much more helpful to replace Left / Right with High Trust / Low Trust as our dominant political axis. High Trust roughly correlating with Blue and Low Trust roughly correlated with Red.
 
What are your thoughts on this?
 
Thx.🙏

Tired of “Bitcoin gains in value!” headlines?

Try this: “Against a mysterious world-wide low-grade revolution in the industrialized world, the dollar & other violence backed fiat currency continued their collective plunge against math backed Bitcoin.”

Note: I’m *not* a Bitcoin evangelist & I don’t pretend to know the future. I do know of other ways to view this event that must be explored.

@MikeFrench13 @tommartell I have no doubt that there will be collapse(s). Perhaps many. Bitcoin may well even be destroyed. Read it again. It’s not implying what you seem to be inferring.

@MikeFrench13 @tommartell I’m fine with that. Thanks for your candor.

@kylerow I don't think there is any question that there will be 'implosions'. I also don't think there's much question that crypto-structures are here to stay, evolve and grow no matter what happens to Bitcoin.

Eric Weinstein

The rising & falling of the BTC to USD exchange rate appears to have zero positive or negative impact on my estimation of crypto's future.

Why? Because the miracle is the *existence* of the BTCUSD rate nearly 10yrs after the fact, despite posing obvious threats to nation-states.

1/ The Christmas Thread.

First off, Merry Xmas to all.

I’m asking for your help. I want to know whether any of you know about any quiet working groups or meetings involving but not limited to Visa/MC/PayPal/etc working on the issues of “populism”/“radicalization” as euphemisms.

2:23 AM · Dec 26, 2018
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

2/ This would be organized by by some group like CFR, NAS or some other blue chip institution. It would be looking to figure out how to handle the “problems” of popular nullification of institutional objectives. In short it would view Brexit, Trump and restrictionism as “hate”.

2:23 AM · Dec 26, 2018
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

3/ This quiet meeting would bring together the major “stakeholders”(?) which would not include the public. The twin problems the meeting would actually be trying to solve are “free speech” and “democratic choice” which the public generally doesn’t want solved at all.

2:23 AM · Dec 26, 2018
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

4/ The meeting would explore the question of how to use the existing anti-terror programs & platform level controls to handle garden variety dissent contributing to popular nullification as if it were “hate speech”, which it would claim was akin to, or a gateway for, terror.

2:23 AM · Dec 26, 2018
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

5/ I’m not asking b/c I have any information that such a meeting occurred. I, in fact, have NO such information. However, I am well aware of how coordinated action has been made to look more “emergent”, in the past & I now think we’re at a very dangerous juncture between 2018-20.

2:23 AM · Dec 26, 2018
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

6/ This all now looks way off to me. Patreon is just the window through which we are glimpsing it. Why? Because they‘re clumsy. I fear we‘re seeing some plan to reestablish the former power of the Gated Institutional Narrative well above Patreon’s paygrade using payment networks.

2:23 AM · Dec 26, 2018
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

7/ I hope this is wrong. But if it‘s correct, “improper” bitcoin transactions will start to carry serious criminal penalties. Further @jordanbpeterson will not deliver a technological fix as indicated.

Watch @datasociety, @nytimes coverage & payment channels.

Happy Holidays.

My emphasis on "Sense-making" came from him directly as did the phrase. I don't know that I can or would recommend him to most sane people. Just know that he's out there and that when everyone has gone crazy, he is one of 5 or so people I call to make sure I'm not losing my mind.

10:13 PM · Feb 13, 2019

Eric Weinstein

I'd like to pay a debt or two. I have not always had the easiest relationship with @jgreenhall over the last 10 years and I don't always feel comfortable with his takes on things. But he is one of my "minds of last resort." Early on @wikileaks & @Bitcoin. Maddening on everything.

10:13 PM · Feb 13, 2019
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Thought those of you who put up with me should know; I've been thinking about this for a long time and it's time to boost @jgreenhall's signal: high variance, high insight, and high agency. Just know, he's not your indoor cat.

End.

The Nakamoto Collective is almost the only forward looking thing I can think of. 11 years ago, I was unable to get our Prime Broker to take seriously that a small Hedge Fund wanted to speculate on some new concept. It was so cumbersome that I gave up and wrote an essay instead...

On #Bitcoin‘s 12th birthday, Satoshi Nakamoto just became the 40th richest person in the world.

$34 billion and counting 🚀

Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Bitcoin at the time felt totally sketchy as a financial instrument as it was tied to contraband. But I didn’t see it as money. If I did, I would be unimaginably wealthy if I didn’t lose it all to digital theft, accidental loss or spending it . But I am an idiot in these matters.

6:13 PM · Jan 03, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

So, Satoshis if you’re out there, you haven’t needed fame or been eager to cash in. That is likely because you get where this is going. Please find me or someone who can explain how AU works as a wave in a bundle. Let’s build a new digital physics around local conservation laws.

6:13 PM · Jan 03, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

And I hated the blockchain. What the Satoshi collective had done was genius. But there should be no ledger. Gold, as a wave, doesn’t tell you where it has been. So instead I dreamed of meeting the Satoshis and getting rid of that damn implementation by using digital bundles.

6:13 PM · Jan 03, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Can you imagine. Some group was creating as-if physics inside the network. Bitcoins to me were ‘waves’ propagating not in vector bundles, but on networked computers as substrate.

This was genius. I reasoned at the time that it didn’t make sense to me as a medium of exchange.

6:13 PM · Jan 03, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

The reason I was interested in it was more complex. If Bitcoin was digital gold, and gold was a quantum mechanical wave, then some group had created a:

1) Novel
2) Locally enforced
3) Digital
4) Conservation law

Called the blockchain. And money was but one thing it could be.

6:13 PM · Jan 03, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Thank you. For everything. And congratulations. Not on your wealth, but for giving us all the means of escape. For creating something truly new. And for having it up for for so long and proving the naysayers wrong. I have no words.

What you created wasn’t money but hope. 🙏

6:13 PM · Jan 03, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

I wrote this 11 years ago. I always thought you’d read it & come find me. You weren’t rich then. You were either a government project, a collective or a lone genius. But you inspired me like little in our time. This was my attempt to get you to reach out:

https://edge.org/response-detail/11861

6:13 PM · Jan 03, 2021


Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

No. Your job is to liberate physics.

Mine, to liberate you. Presumably some of you understand the peril we’re in. We can’t stay here.

I didn’t mention Geometric Unity to the 🌎 from the early-mid 1980s until 2013. Let’s see if the Satoshi collective can go that long. #TimeToGo

7:06 PM · Jan 03, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

But Bitcoiners must stop fetishizing the BTC/USD exchange rate and wealth. Set your sights higher. Become the numeraire. Time to fund the worthy outside your communities. There aren’t many. Become our adults.

And also look for an update from me around April Fools day. Hopefully.

7:06 PM · Jan 03, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

I would however come to any credible meeting about freeing Satoshi’s genius from the loss of anonymity to the ledger that is the blockchain.

Bitcoiners are the logical saviors of physics. And post-Einsteinian space travel and local digital conservation laws are out best hopes.

7:06 PM · Jan 03, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

I have contributed nothing to the vision of distributed computing. I don’t talk much about the essay even.

I’m not a Bitcoiner. Keep me apart from that discussion and I will always support you all.

People confuse the new as-if physics for money. So I stayed out to do my vision.

7:06 PM · Jan 03, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

It’s time. Put distributed computing on a bundle. Stop worshiping the initial blockchain innovation. Time to move to full digital physics with space-time replaced by the networked computers in distributed computing, and by the Observerse in actual physics. We can’t stay here. 🙏

The main use case of Bitcoin is to hedge the competency of Dr Yellen and her colleagues. Did I somehow get that wrong?

“Janet Yellen suggests 'curtailing' cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, saying they are mainly used for illegal financing.” https://t.co/5woLZ6oQei

E.G.O.s = Embedded Growth Obligations.

The simple theory of universal institutional collapse in a society built around assumptions of growth.

Picture a skyline of Transamerica Buildings and think of all our institutions as pyramids of some kind w/ different slopes.

  1. Bitcoin
9:19 PM · Mar 13, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

There is one giant pyramid scheme. It just has high multiplicity and different slopes.

Medicine looks like Education looks like Law looks like Finance. Etc.

Journalism is just one example. Step back.

Stop looking at the individual trees when it’s the forest blazing red.

Eric Weinstein

He is both haughty and dismissive but also not without some nuance. Seems smart from one read...But it is going to take me off course and I can’t afford to keep arguing the points with moving goal posts. I just don’t know the community well enough. You all tell me. 🙏

5:19 AM · Mar 14, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

I highly encourage people to read this rather aggressive piece.

Q: Is this a *highly* respected member of the Bitcoin community? Is this a person who has the universal intellectual trust of the most extreme Bitcoiners?

It would require work to respond, so it matters. Thank you.

I really appreciate this change in heart.

So much so that I want to reciprocate: BTC is one of the most important developments of our lives. I read Allen’s piece. I’d like to engage your community as I take you all very seriously. But I don’t think I am who you see me as being.

The important thing is that BTC is a hedge against the manipulation of the world by central banking, economists and corrupt institutions. If you can accept that it is not my religion I can accept that it is without peer among recent inventions: markets ARE the alternative to war.

Markets are the alternative to tyranny and central control. And having a digital gold is essential. I am not trying to save BTC. I am not trying to introduce a new alternative coin. I am worrying about tyranny and the blockchain as ledger. I am worried about what is to come.

Let us imagine that Governments wake up. That they realize that the way to control what that cannot control is violence. In such a situation, I don’t want a record of all transfers. Even an anonymous record. That’s what I am on about. Perhaps that is misguided. If so: explain.

But telling me that Juan Maldacena is a genius for writing about gauge theory and markets and that I am a mere entertainer who needs to know is place is absurd. Funny actually.

I’ve been on your side...w gauge theory...since well before BTC. Early 1990s. The goal is to disintermediate the institutional players to liberate markets to avoid tyranny. So running me down using bullshit to score points is anti-Bitcoin in spirit. Makes us all look weak & dumb.

Yes. But it is “You pl.” My co-discoverer is @PiaMalaney who Maldacena sourced but didn’t (originally) cite.

What was funny about Allen’s medium piece was that he didn’t catch that he the bitcoiner was being the credentialist. Allen was happily quoting our own original ideas back to us..but via Juan Maldacena. A legacy of credentialism and a failure of “Proof of work”. Hilarious really.

This is the problem with valuations universally using USD or other managed fiat currencies as Numeraire. Put simply, you have 2 effects. One is the measurement of a rigid ruler (BTC) by a rubber ruler (USD), the second is the fear of rubber rulers leading to demand for rigid one.

If the USD went hyperinflationary this would clearer: we shouldn’t be using a fiat currency as our ruler because it is subject to mismanagement by central banking. Visa and MasterCard are tied to a manipulated ruler doing two things: measuring things and driving BTC demand.

The question about Gold is a good one. But, more broadly, should we be synthesizing a numeraire from a basket of fairly Rigid rulers that doesn’t include USD? We say “stocks surged across the board today” when we really mean “Our centrally managed USD ruler plummeted today.”

We can’t use BTC for numeraire if we want to measure it: BTC/BTC will never move. But we can have a basket of precious metals, crypto & even CHF if we want to see USD & BTC moving separately. I just want to move away from having the USD as ruler as it is subject to seigniorage.

To sum up: the big story is that USD/USD is the problem. We put the dollar in our blind spot. It is moving around violently, but it makes everything else that doesn’t co-move with it look violent. The fact that so much co-moves w our crazy rubber ruler drives demand for XAU,BTC.

Moral: we should synthesize a new ruler (numeraire) XXX to measure USD/XXX & BTC/XXX separately as institutions tied most directly to USD may strongly co move in ways that disguise the dangers when a (mis)managed USD ultimately becomes the main story. Don’t let the Dollar hide.

[Note: I say Ruler because if I say ‘Gauge’ the online BTC community freaks out and thinks it’s under attack from outsider “shitcoiners”. Which it isn’t. But whatever. Toxic fun. They are convinced they don’t speak prose and that BTC & USD aren’t gauges. And hey: Number go up...]

The US Academic Scam: “We need to find Americans smart enough to do Nobel level science and dumb enough not to realize that we will permanently artificially glut markets so that they will have zero leverage against whatever we, their Silent & Boomer masters, want to do to them.”

The STEM shortage has been a total myth and a scam. It is an employer based gutting of America’s future to serve a dying cohort of people who bizarrely have zero interest in what they leave behind as a legacy.

Remember this odd fact: almost every graph of changes in universities over time involving tuition, faculty, time to degree, jobs, etc tells exactly the same story. Choose any university. Any measure of one generation extracting money from its descendants by destroying its future:

If I am correct there are now generations of discoveries by hundreds of STEM folks that were lost because they threatened their older masters or which bear the names of the masters with the scientist who did the original work cast out of the system. We disappeared STEM’s best.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I head next week to @UChicago for 5 days (Nov. 8-12) at the request of its storied Department of Economics to present our theory that all of economics is based on the wrong version of the differential calculus.

Importantly, this error afflicts Inflation & the CPI. https://t.co/YKaPHjpdtq

@_PeterRyan @UChicago Weird question. You seem to have me confused for the BLS. I don't take in Data. I don't have a staff or a budget. You're assuming that I have the 'Real Inflation & CPI numbers'. I don't.

This is about not even having a correct *theory* to calculate. What we corrected was theory.

11:40 PM · Nov 04, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

@_PeterRyan @UChicago I didn’t say what you said. I said there was a wrong theory for CPI. We corrected that theory.

The issue of how to implement a theory in practice leases to different data being collected and different aggregations. For a different theory, you would collect different data.

1:00 AM · Nov 05, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

@_PeterRyan @UChicago As an example. The Boskin commission gave a single illustrative example in their report using two goods, chicken and beef. They gave prices but not ordinal utility. Here is the COL answer assuming Cobb-Douglas and Linear interpolation of all quantities. They could not compute it. https://t.co/zUgd1LwBgx

@_PeterRyan @UChicago The reason they had no theory to cover it was because the C-D exponent changed. And there is a claim that no extension of the Konus COL exists for dynamic tastes.

Hope that helps with your confusion. Be well.

@_PeterRyan @UChicago Well I think the BLS should begin by questioning their own premises. They say they work in a COL framework. They do not. They do not share how they construct the representative consumer. How they estimate substitution if they don’t have preference data. It’s fake and a mess.

1:27 AM · Nov 05, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

@_PeterRyan @UChicago If they are going to do COLas they should estimate preferences. If they aren’t they should do mechanical index theory.

But I would use a bunch of that money to develop a research program on preference collection/imputation for substitution bias if I was running a COL shop.

1:29 AM · Nov 05, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

@_PeterRyan @UChicago I am not sure. But the first question I have is do we believe ordinal preference maps are constructable from revealed preference.

1:59 AM · Nov 05, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

@_PeterRyan @UChicago I would take a look at Paul Samuelson’s Nobel lecture. He goes into depth on revealed preference and preference field non-integrability. I think we have lost track of the fact that integrability of tastes was never actually settled except by fiat. Will talk on this.

Because this is arguably the most famous econ seminar running, it's widely known for being absolutely *brutal* yet also fair (it was founded by M. Friedman). Thus I have decided NOT to get hung up on this issue, but will comit to give an OPEN seminar on the same subject if asked.

If you're an economist convinced that this is hilarious, propose a bet. Your arrogance is really my opportunity set after all...

The academic economists need to learn a lesson that the public is not going to stand again for revisions in CPI that disguise inflation, tax us through indexing our brackets, or impoverish us through under compensating cost-of-living adjustments to Social Security and Medicare.

See you in Chicago. Let's take back CPI inflation which leads to mega transfers, from our unaccountable 'experts' before the money supply, modern monetary theory, and CPI hacking transfer even more of the wealth of ordinary people to those few who hold significant risk assets. 🙏

The two most dangerous printing presses in Washington DC are directed by the Federal Reserve to dilute our dollar assets, and the @BLS_gov to print CPI inflation numbers that increase taxes through underindexed brackets & slash entitlements we pay into over our working lives.

Lastly when we trade with nations that have a different currency from ours, how can we measure inflation of both separate currencies relative to two baskets (imports & exports) without artificially assuming the law of one price?

In essence this is happening every time “you” move. When you see spectators doing “The Wave” the spectators are the medium. They don’t move with the wave.

You are a wave. You excite a totally different portion of the medium wherever you go. That medium is called a vector bundle.

Eric Weinstein

I don’t think this Ship of Theseus thought experiment is doing what it sets out to do. In some sense a new atom in the same location & state *is* the same atom. It is re-exciting the same medium to the same excited state. Planks & joints on a ship have mildly different character.

But you could imagine a physics in which there were failures of conservation laws and you would have splitting events. I may hold an MP4 of you on video, but if I copy it, you have the logical equivalent. Well, this gets into multiverse territory. Are we splitting like the video?

What makes you “you”? Well, state, conservation laws, continuity, uniqueness. State means you have your memories & neural connections. But the others are sort of like a double-spend problem. When you transfer a Bitcoin. Is it the same one? I’d say it continues the earlier token.

6:05 PM · Mar 11, 2022

So conservation laws ensure that anything too complex to construct is a unique continuation of its earlier selves until it dissolves into entropy. And what generates conservation laws? Symmetry. In a way, we all have Prof. Emmy Noether to thank for identity.

@CreatedInTheD The atom moves through space. But as a wave. If a wave moves through a small oil slick, the oil slick doesn’t move with the wave. It briefly rises & falls in place when excited. The medium doesn’t move. The thing that moves is the atom. The thing that stays is the Vector bundle.

One of my goals is to better connect the pirate radio of the anglophone podcasting world to our counter-parts in India. As such, it was a thrill to sit down with Prakhar.

Having done this now with @amitvarma in Bombay/Mumbai, and @prvkhvr just now, I can say that I really appreciate the difference in the content, style and focus. Indian podcasting is accurately reflecting the true cultural shadings in the rhythm of discourse, and the questions are often entirely different at the level of substance.

I firmly believe that we in the West are set to relearn the lesson of Indians writing in English; many of the worlds best English language conversationalists right now are Indian, tilted towards Hindi spiced British English, and they could possibly truly completely transform the entire space for the better.

That said, I specifically don't want to say "@BeerBicepsGuy is the Rogan of Indian podcasting just as @prvkhvr is the Lex Fridman"..or some such nonsense. That would be totally uninteresting. We already have a @lexfridman and a @joerogan. This only gets really interesting when India serves up an ecosystem that is really *new*, and thus self-confident enough not to measure its success by a self-imposed western yardstick.

If I am correct, English speaking India is a sleeping giant, capable of shaking up the world of long-form English language podcasting in the next 10 years. Right now, the U.S. really has no meaningful image of modern India. Hopefully, long-form podcasting is going to change that. I would love to be even a small part of making that happen.

Whether I am right in the above line of thinking, or whether this is just a hopeful dream, I can't say. But there is only one way to find out; let's try it.

Happy new year to all and Shabbat shalom.

[à€°à€Łà€”à„€à€°, à€šà€Čà„‹ à€źà„‡à€°à„‡ à€Šà„‹à€žà„à€€ ! And congratulations on @naval. That was great.]

There are all these seemingly different worlds that are attempting to enmesh me in their drama(s). Usually (maybe 85%) of the time, these ringleaders eventually are found to have issue with Jews and/or Israel no matter what the ostensible area of endeavor.

Thanks just the same and Shabbat shalom.

Let me first say hello to you. We have never met. As I write this I have no idea who you are. I don’t know if you are pro Trumpor pro Harris. Or if you are British or Peruvian. I don’t know if you are Buddhist. Or if you are a die hard Jewish commando serving in the IDF.

You and I do not know each other, there is no desire on my part to engage further with a random account that is using facts in my life that I am very proud of to make up a story to animate a group of accounts to harass me. You are neither the first nor the only one doing this. In other dramas I am a Mossad agent, or Peter-Theils henchman, or George Soros’ agent.

That wasn’t my first response. My first response to being attacked was to respond to someone else 4 days ago because I thought they were a poor confused soul.

I have a policy of not responding to people telling stories to incite mobs against me. It’s hopeless. They don’t listen. And they take the real responses as denials which animates them more.

Such people aren’t critics. They are usually wounded and traumatized souls trying to figure out what is true in this crazy situation. And for that I have a lot of sympathy. But my life is too short and too rich to want to live as a badly sketched character in your story so that your followers can hate a life long progressive restrictionist as the architect of the world’s uncontrolled migration.

I can however do this. Read what I wrote 4 days ago. I posted the quoted response 100 hours ago when I thought this was one person. The Israel angle came about because I started to see accounts harass me that were fairly consistently anti-Jewish and/or anti-Israel. I do not mean to tar you with a broad brush if that doesn’t apply to you. It’s a statistical observation. I don’t know your politics. But the idea that I am the secret architect of the world’s migration system is utterly disconnected from reality as to defy easy explanation.

And please undo and disperse your mob of followers who you have convinced to harass me.

Bottom line, you are wrong. I don’t want you or your followers posing as critics demanding a conversation by harassing and threatening a stranger.

I am going to assume you personally are at worst neutral on Jews and on Israel. I apologize if I raised that unfairly from observing the accounts attacking me suddenly over being the UN’s globalist migration czar. But I am not going to get into a back and forth over this Internet theory with an account stirring up its followers into a mob to harass a stranger.

Hope this help. Truly.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but you are coming across as drama-seeking, rather than truth seeking. And I avoid such accounts like the plague.

I gave you my answer to one of your followers 4days ago.

I am reading what you write now in horror. I’m not interacting with you. See below. I’m sorry you’re here. But I don’t want to be sucked into your life drama, stranger.

Shabbat shalom.

To those of you who have the same answer for everything:

A) "Ha. It's just about money Eric."
B) "Dude. It's the deep state. I thought you were smart."
C) "It's the Jews. Duh."
D) "Bruh. Trump and Elon got this. Settle down."
E) "Ever heard of the Freemasons? Nuh? Bye."
F) "Bitcoin fixes this. Been solved since 2009."
G) "Capitalism talks. Bullshit walks."
H) "Uh, because Trump is a Nazi Fascist. Hello!"
I) "It's always been this way. You waking up now??"
J) "It's all about the Gold Standard & Bretton Woods"
K) "Clutch your pearls. The AI will sort it out."
L) "China is playing Chess while we play Checkers."
M) "Aliens have been behind everything since Roswell."
N) "Qatar has been planning this forever...or Putin."
O) "Cough cough. Project 2025 anyone?"
P) "You act like you've never heard of Klaus Schwab!"
Q) "Check out the Knights of Malta/Opus Dei, smh"
R) "Majestic 12 is our government. Not the president."
S) "The entire world is run by Pedophiles my guy."
T) "Bill Gates is the Eugenicist sterilizing the world."
U) "This is all due to Fluoride in the water."
V) "The great replacment is Soros' war on white people."
W) "The Royals in Europe are related & planned this."
X) "Monsanto and ADM literally aim to murder earth."
Y) "Pfizer & big Pharma decide what we can even think."
Z) "The Electric Universe & Panpsychism homie, FTW!"

So am I to understand that Freemason pedophiles embedded in the Deep State who outsourced the overthrow of the US to Chinese Jews, got America off the gold standard so that Trump could bring Qatari Islamo-Fascism to America via Bitcoin which was developed by Aliens? Or is it that a Vatican AI developed Project 2025 to complement the UN's war on Europe via Soros billions?

I understand its all very simple to many of you. But consider that those of you who favor a single explanation for everything, think that this is very simple in all sorts of very *different* and seemingly incompatible ways.

Just a thought.

With respect to our institutions in the west, I can’t stop seeing the fundamental division as being into two basic groups:

A) HIGH TRUST: “Sure, they aren’t perfect; I myself like to think independently. But they are better than any of the crazy alternatives.”

B) LOW TRUST: “I don’t get how anyone still listens to legacy institutions. They are over.”

——

I bring this up because what I don’t see is C)

C) DECLINING TRUST: “I cannot believe that our previously high quality institutions are being looted and/or crumbling at this rate. They are decaying from a very high height, so they are still working in many areas but they are already pure poison in others. We can’t live modern prosperous secure lives without them. So why are we exhibiting universal learned helplessness with respect to getting rid of the rot? Why the all or nothing thinking? What is going on? It’s like someone attacked us by convincing us to hollow ourselves out so you could knock us over with a feather.”

I’m in C). And I find it much more helpful to replace Left / Right with High Trust / Low Trust as our dominant political axis. High Trust roughly correlating with Blue and Low Trust roughly correlated with Red.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thx.🙏

It just sorta hit me, that a lot of the abuse individuals deal with is one team looking to fight another team and unexpectedly encountering a solo traveler.

So they think: “If you ain’t a capitalist, you must be on team commie.”

Or “If you think peer review is destroying science you must be team anti-science.”

Etc.

Then you get 1000 accounts bludgeon yours and your reputation. Only you don’t belong to a group to fight back.

It’s like the team sports people just don’t, can’t or won’t understand the concept of the individual. Hence the abuse of many against one mob behavior. It’s like prison gangs. The way this platform is engineered, the individual is constantly being pushed to join a mob for mutual protection.
