Today was a good day as a collector! Kinda feel like I was hitting home runs with #ETHNFTs and #TezosNFTs. So without further ado, in order of today's purchases, a 🧵 to highlight the wins and artists...

Bimma Williams with the facts #LetGodSortEmOut

We gotta have some conversations about Little Simz after this 4 album run

AI makes us dumber? I still don't understand the supposed argument that AI makes us dumber. Anyone who has studied at a university will be familiar with the following phenomenon from academic work: You write a paper on a specific topic. To do this, you read literature: books, other papers, lectures. The biggest problem with this is that the specific questions you want answered are difficult to find. You often spend a lot of time reading through the literature to finally find the passage that provides the answer to your question. Of course, reading a lot also gives you other information and a broader overview of the topic. However, to be honest, a lot of time is simply wasted on research. AI makes this much easier. A precise question receives a precise answer, with specific literature tailored to the question. AI therefore makes scientific work more efficient and does not make researchers dumber, but on the contrary, much smarter, in that they can process more essential information in less time. The myth of alleged dumbing down is regularly perpetuated by those who do not work with AI in such a way that they want to increase or expand their knowledge. I have noticed that I now ask AI questions much more often that I would otherwise have dismissed. Trivial things, such as what happens in the body during exercise, how creatine works, what happens during the recovery phase, etc. In short, I ask for explanations of complex things in a way that I can understand, which I would not have done before because of the effort involved in “Googling” (to get adequate answers to the above questions, I would first have had to read 10 websites with clickbaits). The only thing you can accuse AI of is that it doesn't train users in critical thinking. However, this argument applies even more to schools and universities and is not a problem specific to AI. Critical thinking has increasingly been lost in the wake of the Bologna Process in European universities. However, this criticism cannot be directed solely at AI. In summary: In my experience, AI does not make me dumber, but rather smarter, as I learn more about the world and gain a deeper understanding.

I truly do not care if food stamps cover junk food. It doesn't affect me. But do you know who it does affect? The kid who wouldn't get a birthday cake otherwise. The one who only knows what it's like to say "no" in the snack aisle. The one who just wants to feel like every other child for one day. Let them have the cake. Let them have the chips at the birthday party. Let them feel normal because poverty is already isolating enough. If you've never had to choose between groceries and gas, sit this one out. Because food stamps aren't your business But kindness should be. Via April Dickens

Did you know the UN wanted to make food a fundamental human right. Only 2 countries voted against it. Can you guess which two countries? Hmmm… I wonder why? 🤔

should we slow down? That's the trillion dollar question. My gut says we're past the point where "slowing down" is realistic - it's like asking if we should slow down a river that's already flowing. The competitive dynamics are brutal. Every company knows their competitors are racing to implement AI. Every country fears falling behind. Even if the US or EU tried to pump the brakes, others would accelerate. We've created a system where acting responsibly might mean economic suicide. But here's what keeps me up at night: we're essentially running a massive social experiment with no control group and no undo button. We're rewiring the foundation of human purpose and economic value at breakneck speed. Previous technological shifts had decades to unfold - we're compressing that into years. The arguments for speed are compelling: AI could solve massive problems, reduce human suffering, unlock scientific breakthroughs. Every month of delay potentially means preventable deaths, continued inefficiencies, missed discoveries. Plus, the cat's out of the bag - the knowledge exists, the incentives are aligned, the momentum is building. Yet I can't shake the feeling we're being reckless. Not with the technology itself, but with the human side. We have no plan for the displacement. No vision for what humans do in an AI-saturated world. No safety net for the psychological upheaval. We're optimizing for capability advancement while treating social adaptation as an afterthought. Maybe the question isn't "should we slow down?" but "can we speed up our adaptation mechanisms?" If we can't slow the tech, we need to dramatically accelerate our policy response, our education evolution, our social safety net construction. The mismatch between tech velocity and institutional velocity - that's what could break us.

Fuck israel

happy to see Ab-Soul getting his flowers on the timeline. The God emcee that you gotta see… “all they talk about is kenny, drizzy and cole and im inspired by all of them but honestly neither one of them can live without a SOUL”

I used to have this mental illness where I thought logical arguments would change someone’s mind

@Xsteveholl @JamesTate121 Fuck you fascist

@JamesTate121 The criminal is refusing to exit the vehicle.

This guy is a criminal and not an officer 'We knew this was coming which is why it’s all even more dangerous! This must stop!' "Turns out, he's not an ICE agent. He's not a DHS agent. He doesn't even work for the government in any capacity. Meyer is part of a white supremacist vigilante group, Veterans on Patrol and they collaborate with the Oath Keepers - a fascist organization."

No lies told.

Being an emotionally intelligent person comes with not being able to fully hate someone

The funniest thing about 2025 being the China Century inflection point is if you followed China’s policy papers in the 2000s they were expecting the inflection in 2050. That 25 year difference is the gap between their belief in American competence and America’s actual competence.

The longer I work in medicine, the more convinced I am that anxiety and depression are a just response in a deeply unjust society.

@natemcgrady take a look at the weave

Listen to this carefully ‼️

GNX is on its way to be another classic. Kendrick Lamar’s discography is insane 5 classics that all sound different & give u a different feeling when u listen to it

There is nothing anyone could say that would make me believe that these men act on their on volition and aren’t comprised, controlled, and paid by the very people they’re claiming to expose.
