I ran the numbers on washing machine electricity usage and I am APPALLED.

850m washing machines worldwide consume around 140 GWh of electricity every year.

I'm only washing my clothes with my hand from now on & will start a campaign to ban washing machines!

The washing machine community contains some of the world's most toxic and unpleasant individuals. Most the world's serial killers use washing machines.

These people are literally boiling oceans when hand-washing is an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative available to all.
Why should we as a society tolerate this selfishness of the washing machine community who want to consume electricity just to save time on hand-washing?

There are no social benefits to this waste when we are in a climate crisis & oceans are *literally* boiling.
I'm disturbed to find out another unnecessary electronic device consumes far more electricity than even washing machines.

1.4b fridges worldwide run 24/7 & consume around 3 TWh of energy every year. This would be completely unnecessary if everyone learned to like rotten food

This sociopath hates bitcoin because he is literally a fiat academic, who can only maintain the pretense of being an academic thanks to fiat printers. In a free market he'd go hungry as an academic or learn a useful skill more suited to his cognitive capacity, like shoe-shining. Image
The National Science Foundation is connected to the US government's infinite money printer. They face no opportunity cost for all the fiat money they hand out to fiat academics to write fiat bullshit.

And even they couldn't get themselves to fully finance this loser. Image
All academics who have received funding from the US government or its fiat universities need to recuse themselves from discussing bitcoin due to a clear & obvious conflict of interest.

Their entire careers depend on fiat. Don't be surprised to see them get even more deranged.

Olive oil is a historically insignificant part of mediterranean diets, which rely heavily on animal fats. It had non-dietary uses mainly, only being eaten by the destitute who couldn't afford animal fats

The idea that Mediterraneans based their diet on olive oil is a scam promoted by Harvard & their industrial junk sponsors, to help sell high margin industrial plant oils, as detailed in the excellent @bigfatsurprise: ImageImage
Traditional Mediterranean diets, like all human diets, are based on animal fats.

It's hilarious that modern Meds believe what Harvard tells them their ancestors ate. If their ancestors saw them cooking in olive oil, they'd think they're destitute.

More than two years after this model was published, the price continues to track the model's predictions with astonishing precision.
The price of bitcoin can be anywhere between $0 and $100m. That it continues to remain within the one standard deviation band of the model's predictions for more than 2 years is about as likely to happen randomly as someone correctly guessing a private key.
The one standard deviation band is around $40,000 wide. The odds of the price being there randomly on any given day is ~40k/100m, or 0.04%.

The odds of it being in that band randomly for 800 days in a row is 0.0004 ^ 800 = 4.4 E-2719.

That's 0. (2719 zeros) 4.

Impossibly tiny.

Nassim Nicholas Tantrum has gone from endorsing my book to obsessively insulting me in public without once making any reference to my work.

Why?

Because I refused to join him on his insane cowardly hysterical crusade to shut down the planet with his friends at the WEF.
I was typing him a private message politely explaining to him why his "Precautionary Principle" is such a dumb idea.

He responded by blocking me, insulting me in public & then flat-out lying about why he did it the very next day.
It was the biggest mistake of my career to associate with this lying fraud. We were distant friends when he volunteered to send my book to a publisher & write the foreword. He submit his foreword without reading the book, at the very last minute, when it was too late to change it

Bitcoin is a life raft, & it's already saved millions worldwide from inflation & poverty.

If your only contribution to a working life raft is to disparage it based on some theories you learned in university, you are a despicable shit.

Make something better or fuck off forever.
Don't like that bitcoin is too volatile?

Do you have a universally accessible asset appreciating at 200%/year with lower volatility to offer as an alternative to people in Lebanon, Venezuela & Turkey?

You don't, which makes you just another despicable central bank cheer-leader.
Bitcoin isn't competing against theories taught by central banks & fiat universities. It's competing against central banks' actual inflationary moneys.

If you're disparaging voluntary bitcoin based on theories, you're promoting central bankers' inflationary slave scrip.

Libertarianism is against coercion, not collective action. People can act collectively without coercing each other. Individualism means sovereign choice, it doesn't mean not taking part in peaceful collective activities.

Do thinkbois also think libertarians oppose team sports?
Authoritarians like @EricRWeinstein don't get the distinction between collective & coercive action because their ideas are so bad they can only get others to join them by coercion.

They'd be far less authoritarian if they tried having good & useful ideas others want to join.
Protip:

Don't critique libertarianism before you've at least read The Ethics of Liberty by Rothbard, or you'll end up exposing yourself as a shallow authoritarian thinkboi critiquing your fiat university's stupid propaganda caricature of libertarianism.
