My daughter just told me a bunch of Egypt facts and then said "many secrets still lie beneath the sands of Egypt" lol

@mariadavidson Beautiful power couple ❤️

Started dating 6 years ago today. Moved in together 5 years and 363 days ago. Thought the world might be ending back then. It turned out great!

💯

@zooko Very proud of you and Zcash! ZEC is lucky to have people like you @zooko

The price of Zcash is essential for the sustainability of our mission of freedom. Working to support the price of Zcash is morally good.

@BraytonKey @BoostVC @OpheliaBSnyder @21shares @FalconXGlobal 🙏🏼

Big day for @BoostVC LPs 👀 @hany and @OpheliaBSnyder have built @21shares into an incredible business and smart move by @FalconXGlobal to buy. Was their first VC check 8 years ago. They made their first ever pitch come true: ‘make buying crypto as easy as buying a stock’ 🚀

The pattern is clear. Open protocols beat closed systems. Email killed postal monopolies. TCP/IP killed telco cartels. HTTP killed CompuServe. Now: stablecoins kill banking rails. Same movie, different industry.

@BasedHeqaKhasut Oh you’re missing out. It’s exceptional and not so inaccurate.

@lessin These are great points. Agreed that the world is becoming more mercantilist. The 1500–1700s was the last time the West was this mercantile, before the Industrial Revolution?

@nic_carter EQT is an interesting pick. Why? Data centers PE exposure you think?

I’ve been telling yall to copytrade him for months now

@jhartikainen as an Egyptian, I've always always always far preferred cold weather. know a lot of egyptians who feel the same. is finland hot right now?

Whenever discussion on hot weather vs cold weather comes up, I always remember how @hany once told me cold weather is better because you can always put on more clothes, but if it's hot you're just stuck with it. I had never really thought about it in that way :D

@MedManOG The people of Imbaba are wonderful men and women. Here’s an alternative narrative, a video of a random Swedish tourist who walked through a neighborhood full of kindness and generosity and safety: youtu.be/5X0sW0iHZ0s?si…

Man, just got reminded of this story. I once met an Estonian couple, I wish them the best, they were asking me for directions, which I provided, but I was in the mood to troll, so I took the man and I told him - whatever you do, don't go to Imbaba, he asked why,

@traestephens related: who exactly is comforted by a crackling fire on that tv they turned on for me?

Has another ever, in the history of mankind, walked into a hotel room and thought “wow, it’s so nice that they put the TV on for me!”

@ramahluwalia The Continental Dollar’s collapse was quite alarming to all who experienced it

The founders were also skeptical of government money Central banking is a 20th century idea in US

Weekends Are For Philosophy: Amazing how the United States is a grand experiment in political philosophy. The foundation of the experiment is in two philosophical ideas: skepticism and the truth seeking. The Declaration of Independence was built on the writing of philosopher John Locke. Locke developed the idea of Separation of Powers and inalienable natural rights. John Locke built his ideas on Immanuel Kant who reasoned from first principles that a just society must treat people as ends unto themselves. Kant also was trying to create a philosophical foundation for Newton’s physics. The scientific revolution in motion. This is the truth seeking component - you can see it most clearly in how the legal system works (trial by jury, appellate review, facts and the law, etc). Kant built his theory on David Hume - a skeptic. This combination of skepticism and reason emerges as a ‘truth seeking’ driver in American governance. This chain of skepticism and Reason goes back millennia in history. If you trace the thought lineage, it resches back to Aristotle, his teacher Plato and then Plato’s teacher - a penniless guy named Socrates. (I am skipping many people and events on this chain such as the Magna Carta, St Thomas Aquinas, etc). Socrates was the Genesis Block in the chain of provenance that led to the American experiment. Socrates was one of the greats. His main thesis was the antithesis ‘I know nothing’. Socrates was a skeptic. American political philosophy is premised on skepticism. Skepticism of centralized power Skepticism of state religion Skepticism on state censorship of speech. The Socrates ‘I know nothing’ concept reveals itself in Locke as a political philosophy. Locke's political philosophy asserts that individuals possess natural rights and that no authority can justly subordinate them to a higher power without their consent. What a powerful idea. Socrates was willing to die on principle as he drank the hemlock. The signatories of the Declaration of Independence were signing their pwn death warrants on account of these high minded principles as well. Have a quick skim of this excerpt from John Locke’s ‘Second Treatise’ below. There would be no Declaration of the United States without John Locke. I stumbled upon hjs book ‘Second Treatise…’ at the kids local library. It was on the giveaway cart they place out in the open alongside how to cook Russian borscht and various Danielle Steele romance novels. In any case, we’re going to take this stray book home, clean it up, and put it on a proper bookshelf. If I am lucky, my kids will stumble upon it one day with interest. And we’ll talk about how In The Course of Human Events … … We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Cheers to John Locke.

@DividendDesi @AskPerplexity @AMAZlNGNATURE @grok Could be Svalbard, Norway, which has both a Russian enclave town and attracts a lot of global researchers who probably speak English It also has a ton of polar bears

@AskPerplexity @AMAZlNGNATURE @grok Pls double check as in the background people speaking in Russian(?) @AskPerplexity

This is crazy 🤯 Terrifying fact about polar bears: they are one of the very few animal species that actively see humans as prey 😳
