The ultimate website for Scrip
For many years I’ve been trying to make the point that bitcoin is the EXACT OPPOSITE of decentralized. When all transactions are made and recorded on ONE SINGLE LEDGER, and the ONE SINGLE LEDGER is contained inside NSA’s web, you are ultimately and infinitely centralized in the worst possible way. Ordinary currency is naturally decentralized.…

Brits understand demons 2
Neil Thomas, writing a defense of intelligent design, mentioned the old British satirist Thomas Peacock, who had summarized all such arguments in 1845. I hadn’t heard of Peacock, so found the book Headlong Hall and read the first few chapters. The characters are the best part; the action seemed to get a bit repetitive. Three…

Unusually sane, considering
Connected to the branding theme of previous item. Most online Catholic writers are drunk on autistic theology. They fuss and fidget endlessly and CRUELLY about microscopic details of insane liturgy, trying to defend Bergoglio because he’s authorized by Canon Law 84390854689 subpart A.410, but he failed to pronounce the 59.12th word in Catechism Subphase u48356xx834834yq75689…

The remarkably realistic comment by the Harris Poll included a quote from Ice T. I was enamored of ‘analog people’ and didn’t notice the POWER of Ice T’s suggestion. It would [be] kinda dope if Musk bought Twitter and just shut it off. It’s powerful because shutting off is THE NORMAL PURPOSE of buying a…

Unique in one way
Random thought. The UFO phenomenon was a unique conflict of government vs humans. Normally the government makes up a fake “threat”, calling it an “attack” or “witchcraft” or “commie subversives” or “Islamic terrorists” or a “virus”. Ordinary people are NOT observing the nonexistent “threat”. The government has to persuade us that the “threat” is real…

The Brahmin solution
How do we prevent the next round of torture and genocide? We know that we’ll never get a Nuremberg, because there is no Allied side in this war. Tanzania and Florida aren’t big enough to win the war and hold the trial. The best counterforce, oddly enough, seems to be India. Not the government of…

This year’s yak-shaving
I tend to do the same things and think the same thoughts at the same time each year, without trying. Keeping a daily journal or worklog helps to spot these patterns. Right now I’m having fun shaving a yak. I started working on a 3d animatable waterfall spectrogram, extending the ‘live sine waves’ seen here.…
