Scipio

Pump fun / PvP meta is the most refined expression of a market that can no longer innovate, so it turns to pure extraction. Most major conceptual innovations already explored/claimed. Siphoning liquidity isn't a bug, it's the organism consuming itself when it can no longer grow.

@ExaltedFoks Definitely one of my favorites. And the one I recommend to first time Nietzsche readers.

@CryptoScipio Enjoying Twilight of the Idols very much atm

Bellissimo

Tonight I am on pawg patrol

@networkspirits That sticks out to me as well. Twitter charisma level 100.

scrolling through posts about yv and it’s so apparent how he had time for everyone, just zero ego or care for clout even though he trolled as a pro sport

If I started smoking crack I could stop whenever I felt like it

If I started balding I would simply handle the situation

Merry Christmas to the jews ESPECIALLY

Life is short. Make sure you spend as much time as possible arguing with people on twitter

@yvtweets RIP brother

@apollorusso_ @Cernovich Not irrelevant, sure, but not decisive either. For Nietzsche, origins help explain a valuation without determining its meaning or rank. Otherwise genealogy just collapses into biography, and the distinction between genesis, function, and value disappears.

@CryptoScipio @Cernovich That’s fair, genealogy doesn’t reduce ideas to compensation. But Nietzsche’s whole point is that ideas grow out of the conditions that produce them. If that’s true the distance between the thinker and the type he names isn’t irrelevant because it’s part of the explanation.

Nietzsche spent his days hiking, ruminating, and journaling. He was the original Reddit atheist incel before becoming a 4 Chan edge lord. “Ecce Homo” being an omage, or mockery of the crucifixion of Christ, “Behold the man.” He died alone in a nut house.

@apollorusso_ @Cernovich That’s a bad use of Nietzsche’s method. Tracing a view to physio-psychological conditions doesn’t reduce it to personal compensation. Nietzsche is full of tension, sublimation, and self-overcoming. The thinker doesn't need to already be the type he names.

Do you? That Achilles/Homer quote makes sense when you’re describing something that already exists, because Achilles already belonged to a heroic culture. Nietzsche is addressing nihilism after inherited moral structures have collapsed, where he’s outlining types oriented toward the future and capable of overcoming it. There’s a difference between narrating an ethos that already exists and outlining the conditions for one that doesn’t yet. Homer doesn’t need to be Achilles because the type of person Achilles is already exists in Greek ethos. When you’re describing the type of human who can overcome nihilism, the relationship between what you’re describing and what you are starts to matter. Nietzsche tears apart moral systems by showing they grow out of specific psychological conditions and life circumstances, and if philosophy works that way then his own philosophy is subject to the same analysis. Which means Nietzsche’s ideas don’t stand outside the psychological conditions he says produce philosophies in the first place.

@apollorusso_ @Cernovich "Homer would not have created an Achilles, nor Goethe a Faust, if Homer had been an Achilles or if Goethe had been a Faust."... "It is always as between Achilles and Homer: the one has the experience, the sensation, the other describes it." Do any of you actually read his work?

@Cernovich It’s somewhat ironic that many of Nietzsche’s ideas point toward the opposite of what he himself was, which raises the psychological possibility that his philosophy was, in part, an attempt to rectify what he felt he was and wasn’t.

@Galois_Capital Great take. And the point about Dario is true about most of these effective altruist types. We saw it first hand with SBF.

Sam is preferable to Dario because Sam is merely a Machiavellian power-seeker. Dario, on the other hand, sees himself as a god and wants to mold the world in his own image. Of course, Elon is preferable to both simply because he is a decent human being.

@yvtweets Oh wow, good read. Tbh nothing at the moment but I should change that.

I love reading

@sayinshallah 3rd worlders got internet access (you and your cousins)

@gmoneyofficial The world isn't going to wake up on some theorem completion. What matters is diffusion and consequences, not a single trophy proof. The hardcore "LLM's will upend everything" people will learn the hard way about inertia in complex systems, just like crypto players did.

What math problem needs to get solved by a frontier model for the world to wake up?

I wasn't shorting Nvidia before and I'm not now, but I am very much looking to it as the next big short (not just for Nvidia, but as the fulcrum for the market as a whole). Patience is key...

As I was saying, very clear this is where the puck is going. Nvidia is still the elephant in the room but the problem with the elephant is he's not so nimble. Wafer scale chips, TPUs, etc, means disruption to the business model is only a matter of time... x.com/BoWang87/statu…

I'm inclined to think the Alibaba AI chips just announced are a nothing burger but in general this is where the puck is going. Inference requires somewhat different chipset than pretraining so there's room for companies to catch up to Nvidia here. Maybe will do write up on this.
