“Our brains are not truth seeking mechanisms."
"Our brain’s number one job is to be a defense attorney for whatever you already believe.”
In a World where “Everything is Weaponized at Once”
For Example
(12:30) Almost sounds like ALWAYS run:
`Do_I_Still_Trust();`With EVERY SINGLE INTERACTION-PRESENTATION.
VERIFY, VERIFY, VERIFY … then … and only then … maybe … small-t trust.
On a case-by-case basis.
(42:19) Almost as if money … CURRENCY, more accurately … like any other evidentiary chattel … is as much about CHAIN OF CUSTODY as it is about make-believe, metavalent-stigmergic value. So, if greenbacks are essentially digital currency, as the speaker suggests, then all currencies are in essence the same; difference being, which currencies are most enabling of DODGING accountability vs DOGE-ing accountability.
(52:40) “And then what?
(55:15) “Why am I giving up something if I’ve got nothing back?”
(1:30:55) “Incentives. We incentivize the wrong things.
(1:31:30) “The system is set up to incentivize … MONEY.”
(1:47:22) Maybe provocative, friendly amendment (having personally lived through the winter in a solo self-made tarp ‘house’ atop Mauna Kea) … “We are the Bad Guys” … AND “So Is Everyone Else.”
(3:00:25) Wow. “What do we need to change?” Uncanny correlation (not causation, but rhymes with) the SAFER TRUST Act.
(4:01:10) First SRS author to clearly and vociferously agree about flushing out INCENTIVES that create OUTCOMES of, in Shawn’s words, “regime change, instability, sanctions, civilian suffering, proxy wars, plausible deniability.”
Broken Record on Broken Systems: As legendary investor and Warren Buffet confidant Charlie Munger said, “Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome.” America has been held hostage to Moloch’s Mandatory State Religion of Fiduciary Duty to Shareholder Primacy, specifically, 29 U.S. Code § 1104 - Fiduciary duties for 250 years.

(6:15, paraphrased) As soon as you try to grok anything less than a Planck Pixel, you are simply beyond the capacity of observers like us to observe, much less measure or explain. So next maybe JUST DON’T, right Frank? That’s right.
(9:15) Almost as if:
Eternal Inflation ⩸ ( NOW == SizeOf(Eternity); )(15:05) “I know what you’re thinking. This all sounds like untestable speculation.”
