Takeaways from Trifecta of Reality with @sid_warrier, @VarunMayya and @prvkhvr:
1) Content without context "feels" good but has no real benefit to neither the creator nor the consumer. This is where features like reels lobotomise educational/intellectual creators.

2) Platforms can loosely be split into content-focused, like Youtube, where the dopamine comes from the content, or the scroll-focussed, like Instagram, where dopamine comes from swiping through the feed of content variety.
3) Conveying intellectual content in an entertaining way is the mark of a genius mind, something that @thetanmay does wonderfully. It appeals to the masses and gets people funnelled through for the "smarter" content.
4) Privacy of data is far more nuanced than what people outrage about on social media. It feels like it's good for the users, but it ultimately dramatically reduces the ability to run effective ads on these platforms which circles back and affects consumers at some point.
5) Bitcoin is decentralised by "intent" but centralized in "reality". It merely functions as a way to shift the locus of power. History has proved that if you let people free, without regulations, calamity will always occur, since human decision making is asymmetrical.
6) In real life, there are no SILVER bullets, no ONE MAGICAL THING that can cure all of lives problems. Things work in context and nuance, and absolute solutions are almost always "scam-ish".
7) The more money you have to start with, the easier it is to make money. Risk-taking is always easier when you have the capacity to take a hit, without losing it all and going to zero.
8) The only way to eliminate all negative behaviours of human beings is to have a system where everyone is always is tracked and observed. It's what the "religion story" has been trying to achieve throughout the years, by saying "God is watching you".
9) "Hype" is the shortcut to building a habit that you want to. If you want to start working out, expose yourself to evidence that makes working out super cool and awesome. Before you know it, it'll become a habit.
