“My mother and father had families bigger than those two of mine back in the Old World-and of course their relatives back there were blood relatives. They lost their blood relatives to a massacre by the Turkish Empire of about one million of its Armenian citizens, who were thought to be treacherous for two reasons; first because they were clever and educated, and second because so many of them had relatives on the other side of Turkey's border with its enemy, the Russian Empire.
It was an age of Empires. So is this one, not all that well disguised.”

Found an article that touches on my points above (from Matt Damon), and even brings up your point about how Digital effects have also had an impact towards the end!

2024-12-22 07:12:50 UTC

- reply

I recall a decent explanation of the shift in quality also has to do with digital content.
Essence of the argument was:
Before, when releasing a movie to theater, then to dvd, vhs, etc, there were essentially 2 release days for the movie. It had time to be seen and have conversation about it spread, then went through a second phase of buying/renting based on people talking about the movie. This was more successful for thought provoking, unique story telling. Things that were impactful made money long term, and could be more justified.
Now, with release to digital, and the vanishing of physical ownership of media, there is only one big release day. That means it’s more or less a one shot release for the producers. That encourages remakes, the same big name actors, and redundant sequels. Anything people already are familiar with and enjoyed makes it more likely to do well again.

Destroying one’s self rarely takes the form one would expect.
2 Low-hanging fruit arguments:
As we increase the amount energy generated, we consume and convert that energy into new forms either intentionally (product) or unintentionally (waste).
Problems with product would look like the excess photons generated by all of the lights, cars, buildings, cities, etc slowly blotting out the night sky, choking the resource of wonder for the universe at large which historically led to most scientific and mathematical discoveries.
Problems with waste would look like all of the excess heat from all power generation or even just power consumption. Every watt turns to heat eventually. So unlimited, cheap energy just means unlimited, cheap heat. That has unknown consequences on a large scale.

Always go for the most basic aspects.
No politician can possibly get re-elected (keep their job) without spending money. That guarantees inflation over time.
Compounding interest/inflation guarantee that anything more limited AND desirable will increase in value.
Bitcoin is definable scarce.
The only argument left is exactly how desireable Bitcoin is to any individual.
Luckily, no matter how desirable they find it, they can buy that number of Satoshis. Anywhere from $1 to infinite $ per day or year.

The last time we saw 10,000:1 was in autumn of 2020.
100,000:1 was in April 2017
Assuming it takes even a modest 2x as long to multiply the same amount over time (8 years instead of 4 per order of magnitude), we are looking like 1:100 by 2032, 1:10 by 2040, 1:1 by 2048.

He literally attributed delicious foods as a reason for masturbation.
They stirred up feelings of desire.
“The use of highly seasoned food, of rich sauces, spices and condiments, sweetmeats, and in fact all kinds of stimulating foods, has an undoubted influence upon the sexual nature of boys, stimulating those organs into too early activity, and occasioning temptations to sin which otherwise would not occur. The use of mustard, pepper, pepper-sauce, spices, rich gravies, and all similar kinds of food, should be carefully avoided by young persons. They are not wholesome for either old or young; but for the young they are absolutely dangerous.”
“Plain Facts for Old and Young,” John Harvey Kellogg 1877
His lofty goals were to make such bland food that people would not sin.

It’s worth considering that base-10 systems are only one of the methods of counting. Base-12, base-60 and others have existed nearly as long if not longer.
Fun fact, base 60 is still very applicable to human anatomy as well. Using your thumb, touch each segment of each finger on the same hand. 3 segments on each of 4 fingers is base 12.
Using your other hand, you can easily keep track of how many times you do this with 1 finger raised.
12 segments 5 times is 60, just using your fingers.

“Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough: there needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling; against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them; to fetter the development, and, if possible, prevent the formation, of any individuality not in harmony with its ways, and compel all characters to
fashion themselves upon the model of its own. There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence: and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs, as protection against political despotism.”

“Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.”

“The will of the people, moreover, practically means, the will of
the most numerous or the most active part of the people; the majority,

abuse of power.
The limitation, therefore, of the power of government over individuals, loses none of its importance when the holders of power are regularly accountable to the community, that is, to the strongest party therein.”
