Thinking Aloud

Are subversion and illiteracy separate cryptocurrencies?

Language is technology. We act like operationally-defining things is easier than it really is. We don’t act like there are as many definitions as there are. We also act like there are less languages than there are. Culture is more complicated than we give it credit for.

Why do you idolize people that paint you as caricatures?

@et_Times Maybe we have to be Democrats or Republicans on Mars, but on Earth… No need. 🚀 #WE_RttO 🌐

Some people really believe they’re Martians. #CAL_2025 #Earth2048 #X_Times

When we find the debates have become cold stalemates, should we make a documentary together (that goes after the truth) or separately (where groups are before truth)? Thinking out loud, there's just something about the former that sounds appealing for some reason... #X_Film

investopedia.com/tech/goldpegge… Presumably, these are less prone to sentimental pump-and-dump schemes, but what else might we need to consider? With gold being valued at an all-time high (at least in nominally), is it irrational to be weary? If they’re not adequately regulated, could gold become more difficult to distinguish from criminal money? Does gold lose any of its value if owned by dictators, cartels, gangs, etc.? #X_Times #TWS_Lit @Investopedia ——————————————— @EverydaySpy @Forbes @WSJ @MBCompanyMan @patrickbetdavid @jroii @TheEconomist @EconomicTimes @wef @Davos @SECGov @RobinhoodApp @WebullGlobal ________________________ Post-script: if all of these cryptocurrencies are available, what justification is there to deny access to foreign exchange? Is #forex a right associated with freedom of movement? Wouldn’t that help civilians hold their politicians/representatives accountable? Opinion: citizens shouldn’t have to go kill or be killed because their government is incapable of (or unwilling to) foster an economy that solves its fiscal/monetary problems without resorting to human sacrifice. __________________________________ As always, please feel free to share your thoughts on the subject matter in the thread. <3 🧵 #eT_X

@etDotStore What is a social-homeostatic mechanism which can be learned & practiced (… although, cultural homeostasis is probably about as advantageous/beneficial as staying cozy & nourished in the basket/womb ad infinitum)?

What is cultural interoception? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interocep…

Part of the problem in the U.S. is that we take cues for our attitudes. #USA_2025

Literacy (6): Masks long-term costs. Culture (7): Shopping as identity. Mass Media (8): Ad bombardment. Economics (10): Profit machine. Governance (6): Deregulation aids it. Subversion (4): Less subversive, more overt. Triad Clues: Linguistics: ‘Buy now’ prompts action. Semiotics: Sale tags signal value. Semantics: ‘Happiness’ ties to goods. M-C-F: Maldaptivity: Survival need turned excessive. Consequentiality: Debt, environmental ruin. Fitness: Shift cultural norms to sufficiency. Action: Push ‘enough’ narrative; expose waste. 3. Echo Chambers PLCMEGS Scores: Psychology (8): Comfort in agreement. Literacy (8): Rejects outside info. Culture (7): Reinforces tribalism. Mass Media (7): Algorithms boost it.

Fitness: Breakable with exposure. Action: Introduce diverse voices; question ‘truth.’ How It Fits the Cribsheet This table slots into the Cryptocurrency Decoder section added last time: Layout: Fits the mini-table format—’Currency | PLCMEGS Scores | Triad Clues | M-C-F | Action.’ Use: Users (e.g., lawmakers) spot a state (e.g., FOMO in policy debates), score it, decode via triad, assess M-C-F, and act. Gestalt: Shows systemic intent—e.g., Consumerism isn’t just ads but an economic trap, countered holistically.” ______________________________________________ #ACSL_crib #CSL_PLCMEGS #interpretiveCryptology #X_Crypto

Does all this end In discomprehensibility?

Culture is technology-generating technology. Language is one of those technologies (which has helped generate answers, concepts, definitions, ideas, questions, etc.). Complicated language, terminology, & vocabulary can help compress and decompress complex codes. #TWS_Lit #X_eT

Do we take pride in what’s worth prizing?

You don’t have to be a genius to be proud of being teachable.
