Who would invest in a beautiful, classical inspired, free city in Central Mexico, based on the Bitcoin standard?

The secret of unhappines (though it’s useful to know to defend yourself). https://image.nostr.build/9bc432252238c64b242729791f1ea0ce91dcea4c771008861a513735b4915066.jpg

O sea, sí Silicon Valley es un brazo de las agencias de EE.UU. Pero de ahí a defender a Maduro. El régimen chavista es indefendible.

The future of Latin America depends upon free cities in a league. Given that only Costa Rica, Panamá, Chile and a handful of islands in the Caribbean have good governance, the impact of the success of these cities will be great.

A good town has an owner. Even if it’s a collective one.

Mexico worked well while it was a possession of the Spanish crown. Once it became independent, it worked well when it was a private possession of general Díaz. In any other moment in it’s history, public intervention has translated to obstacles to development and corruption in the name of public interest.

En México, el fin del partido de estado (PRI) llevó consigo el fin de su oposición (el PAN).

Happy Fourth of July, brothers and sisters. May the ideals of those martyrs of freedom live!

Hoy se acabó el PRI en México. Con él, también se acaba el estado mexicano. Los historiadores darán cuenta de ello.

Mantener ruinas como museo es muy caro. Seguir usándolas es sustentable (oficinas, casas, comercios). https://nostr.build/i/fe7542f87dffd2e36be21732a469fe88e79cce7c51092505a81c0b5f2ef52b08.jpg https://nostr.build/i/6f2b13648525556f3bd2cb43e2d5f66ac2d7d57f6c1e349f7c58317f68aca37e.jpg

Well, we don’t have caps over here.

Societies can resemble heaven or hell. Our’s seems to resemble the latter. Like the firsts episodes of ‘The Good Place’.

2023-05-28 23:40:14

Erdogan wins by a small margin. It’s a bad news for his country. If it weren’t for BTC and the internet, Turkish people would be dammed. But at least these technologies enable a small raft to float away and build something valuable.

2023-05-28 22:40:01

I think art is only justified/valuable when the work of art unveils more than the object it’s depicting. Otherwise a photograph suffices.

2023-05-13 17:23:22

We’re trying to orangepill some public servants and decision-makers in Latin America, would you zap some sats our way to help us buy more #[0]‘s Bitcoin standard for them?

2023-04-20 15:20:34

Spanish is a tricky language to speak straightforwardly. You either convey euphemisms or insults with nothing in between.
English is way better because it’s more “physical” (as Borges said) and therefore, more practical.
When you say that a founder of some organization was a narcissist, you are referring to a personality disorder and that’s that.
On the contrary, talking in Spanish about the same person as “era un narcisista” sounds like you’re insulting him. But saying “padecía un transtorno narcisista” sounds a bit too bland. Of course you can say “las notas características de la personalidad narcisista estaban entremezcladas con su conducta cotidiana de forma profunda” but, by the time the reader finishes you have lost their attention.

The only possible, truly human future (and present) with computers, algorithms and automation is one in which we are the masters. That takes bravery and strength. The alternative is the easy path of loosing our humanity.

2023-03-26 03:21:42

I love building tools for human flourishing using AI.
I despise most of today’s efforts that rather want to make AI pass as a new golden calf, though.
How to identify one from the other? I think that the first approach has proof of work, meaning it’s tested by time. The second approach tends to be ideological (eg, “the era of AI has begun”) and it’s closed to hope and mercy.

2023-03-24 02:00:36

The state won’t go without a fight. That’s why you need to be in a weaker state (but not a failed one).

2023-03-24 00:13:10

The whole fiat construction lies upon the idea that somehow a shallow “scientific” analysis can replace thousands of years of learning and adaptation (evolution).

2023-03-23 18:04:36

I’d like to buy products that last. Even when they seem expensive at first glance, they are certainly cheaper when they last for decades.
Why do I need to change a fridge, a laundry machine, a car, or a microwave oven every 5 years? The technology doesn’t change that much.

Hypothesis*

2023-03-18 19:47:19

Hypotheses: there’s a paradox when assessing liberty in a given place. The more liberty there is, the stricter the compliance of the few rules that exist.

2023-03-17 19:48:39

AI is mind-blowing. It needs constraints. However, they will not come from ethics or government regulation. They will come from prof-of-work.

This is extremely clownish. I mean the experimental treatment was supposedly only good for some months. People who took it a year ago or earlier are “protected” in the same way as people who never took it.

If Lowery’s intuition holds, militarization in Latin America can be counteracted by holding BTC.

He has said that the MIT will publish a digital version for free until September or so.

2023-02-25 16:24:15

Fiat hammer-heads only see fiat problems (e.g. militarization in Mexico). I know a couple of very good intellectuals that are moving to Spain.
However, they don’t realize about Spain non-fiat problems (e.g. staggering and unplayable public debt). Have they done, they have remained in Mexico.

2023-02-25 11:41:22

A book that offers “how to” advice is usually noise.

2023-02-25 11:34:59

An “expert” advancing policy is most likely a charlatan selling some type of snake oil.
A true thinker gives you the tools to understand the current events. But no policy advice usually comes from there.

From a legal perspective you would need and offer and an acceptance. Therefore, when do you get your sats and under what conditions. Is it similar to a beauty contest? Is it a public tender? Is it under a first come first served basis?

El gobierno de México 🇲🇽 piensa que un buen tipo de cambio es una señal alentadora. No lo es, tarde se darán cuenta que su destino está atado al del dólar de Estados Unidos. Eso no es bueno.

2023-02-17 19:28:48

Good heuristics are not eternal. They’re context dependent. When you learn them in your youth, you can made horrible mistakes following them in your old age. Like Charlie Munger.

2023-02-17 18:59:37

The first and definitive loss of any institution is when they loose their legitimacy. From there onwards, it is a downhill ride to decay.

2023-02-17 16:09:49

If you think about it, heretics understand we’ll both the waning and emerging times. So much so that in the Renaissance, they were priests and monks (rank and file of the old church). Now, they tend to be public officials.

We have to surf this wave of changes. Being here on #nostr at least means that we are realizing that there are profound changes going on.

There are books which sole purpose is to milk the infinite resources of the state. Either they are paid by the state or are written so to appeal to the state’s interests (and secure funding).
The same logic applies to “academic journals”. They’re full of noise.
Signal is elsewhere.

Orangepilling municipalities and counties entails empowering them. In certain regions of the world (eg Latin America) that means a titanic effort. They are so accustomed to centralism.
