What is behind the perpetual blame, hysteria, conflict and incoherence in the world. In spite of record breaking abundance of wealth, unbounded levels of global inter tribal cooperation and more civil rights than one could ever need? Notwithstanding all the above, people rich and poor still feel like strangers or slaves in their own lives. They sense they do not really belong here and are cut off from a true higher source. This feeling brings deep anxiety, guilt, and shame that they do not fully understand. To cope, they push these inner feelings onto outside problems. Examples include strong worries about climate change, shame over past wrongs like slavery, heated political arguments, and ideas about secret plots.  These pushed feelings create endless loops. People try to fix things in the world but end up making more problems. They follow outside rules and leaders too closely, which adds to the mess and confusion everywhere. The main issue is simply forgetting one's own inner lig...

We all feel deep down something is wrong. I'm going to talk about what it means psychologically, to be in exile. I used AI(Grok) to walk through this existential observation. It's much more than purely existential which says just accept it, deal with it, there is nothing that can be done. I'm saying there is absolutely something that can be done. So long as the imagination is used authentically, I accept there's no guarantee the outcome will work for me, and that the risks are high. Something is wrong. That our life on the earth is one we are living in exile from our true home. As tenants. Or slaves. And because we are both unwilling and unable to identify this 'wrong' consciously we feel an amount of shame and guilt. We have lost the tools needed to discover the cause. It is radical, meaning I must go to the root, of it all. And when the fear grows, rather than allow the bad blood to turn to stone, I face down 'the dragon': of obedience to authority, le...

I don't think Mr musk wants to build the data centres in space.  He will leave that to his tenants to pay for out of their own hard work and money.  His intent is to gain private property in space itself, just like land on the earth.  Then he can sit around and smoke cigars while watching the rents rise, for free. Smart guy.

Say a nations Treasury wanted to adopt a CBDC using BitcoinSV as its public blockchain.  They have several geolocated datacentres for mining and would only mine their own transactions.  Fees would all be ring-fenced and rolled back into the datacentre operations and costs as hash rate increased. (yes I know this would be a historic first) Is there any reason this would be a problem for the Treasury assuming: they had enough transactions per block happening to make it pay for the self only mining they were encrypting the transactions for their own reasons For scaling could they create their own Teranode subtrees with only CBDC tx's and broadcast them without problems? Could other miners refuse to accept them and if so would that even matter to me?  All I care about is other miners build on blocks with the CBDC tx's in them? Else that would induce a hard fork. In that case would it be better for the Treasury not to take part in the mining and leave it to the private sector ...
