Morals: Difference between revisions

* There is a ''large'' group of obsessional hater accounts that make names for themselves by 'protecting' you from folks you know well who are critical of institutions and who have put 1000s of hours of their thoughts into the public arena. Don't be fooled by would-be saviors.

* A little Feynman is a dangerous thing.

* 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.

* Always Meet Your Heroes. Just choose them wisely.

* whoever constructs [[CPI]] and GDP numbers in a dynamic economy is in a position to fake higher growth and lower inflation if they are also in a position to stop the field from debating methodological advances that would restrict the freedom to make up index number recipes. 🙏

* Numeraire is an illusion. They are all just reference frames, and none of them have the properties of a fixed Aether. In a dynamic world the search for a fixed store-of-value is a quixotic quest destined for failure. Crypto is the post-Newtonian money, showing us this.

* get us US scientists our own [[UAP|US UAP data]]. Now.

* [[Gauge_Theory|Gauge Theory]] fixes this intellectual corruption problem of economic imperialism, and #btc, blockchains and Crypto can help.

* take care of the innovators you task to make you wealthy & secure. Particularly the heterodox leaders that won’t always get along with others. Then get out of the way w the social engineering. Share the STEM benefits with your NATO allies before giving them to your rivals.

* even if you see the lies and the danger they represent, you have every right to decouple that from relative risk assessment and to take vaccines despite the sales job.</br>Most good things are oversold, perversely incentivized, and have disguised risks and costs to them.

* the size of the lying you can spot isn’t necessarily the size of what is being smuggled.</br>It’s ok to vaccinate, even if vaccines are at times needlessly & foolishly oversold with ham-fisted sanctimony and authoritarian bullshit that makes you puke. Separate issues.

* if you want to talk about Ivermectin vs vaccines, don’t ''ever'' pull that “Horse DeWormer” shaming idiocy if you want independent people to vaccinate. You just look like hate filled idiots. Our precious vaccines come from self experimentation.</br>Pro-Vaccine IS Pro-Pus.</br>🙏

* There never really was an IDW. But whatever there was isn't in such bad shape. There are real divisions in the group to be sure, but most of them aren't so severe. Including, in my opinion, Bret & Sam. So far it's limited to one topic. Not perfect, but not too bad either..

* Stop looking for no-brainer summations.

* much of this 'ambiguity' is serving the few.

* there’s (almost) no diversity on Earth. We are all in one giant experiment now with shared fate. Whatever happens in Vegas (or Wuhan or Chernobyl…) won’t stay there anymore.</br>It is past time to diversify off this sphere before it’s too late.

* Scientists are central to a modern nation on every level. Only a 3rd rate kleptocracy chisels on compensation and insulation of STEM professionals. The deliberate use by NSF of PRC labor (student and otherwise) to hold down US wages is an advanced form of academic madness.

* you have a right to demand what economists are actually measuring as Cost-Of-Living W/O abuse for asking.

* Kids >>> [[Sources_and_Methods|S & M]].
