We are quickly moving from a post-truth society into a post-sense society.
One side-effect is that it is increasingly impossible to tell the difference between news, satire, memes, propaganda, and parody.
Those who are able to navigate this jungle successfully will be rewarded. Those who are confused by the noise will suffer the consequences of not being aligned with reality.
I believe that this phenomenon is at least partly responsible for the general bullishness on the truth machine that is #Bitcoin.

Bitcoin can do many things, but there is one thing it absolutely can not do: lie to you.
Bitcoin is the ordering principle that makes sense in a senseless world. It is the construct people can rally around to find meaning and truth. It represents systemic stability in an increasingly unstable world.

(h/t @StarfuryFlames)
The signal is stacking sats. The noise is everything else.

Focus on the signal, and the noise will fade away.

Go outside.
Talk to your neighbors.
Sit in the woods.
Watch the stars.
Breathe fresh air.
Sell your TV.
Don't listen to the talking heads.
Unplug.
Take ownership.

Stop doing things you hate.

Schrödinger's Bitcoin: not backed by anything, but uses too much energy.
Impossible to understand and too complicated, but old tech and not innovative enough.
Inconsequential and will go to zero, but has to be banned because ... what if it doesn't, I guess?

What a surreal week. To say that it was an honor and a pleasure to talk to @jordanbpeterson would be an understatement. I'm happy that it was received so positively.

Here are some thoughts on the whole thing. 👇
After the conversation - recorded in May, mind you - I wasn't sure how well we did. 5 people, 5 time zones, limited time, limited sleep, a frighteningly sharp top-lobster, and the topic of discussion isn't exactly trivial.
Listening back to the conversation had me pleasantly surprised. We did better than I remembered, touching on many topics in some depth. Watching Jordan put the puzzle pieces together was quite something. It wasn't obvious to me how many insights he had during the conversation.
