They're going to study the memecoin supercycle in economics classes for the next 100 years and the professors still won't be able to explain what happened

Autism Capital 🧩
Autism Capital 🧩@AutismCapital·
Hot take: People think that the internet is brain rotting people but it’s not the internet, it’s not even social, it’s the democratization of ability to contribute the discourse. When the internet was just turbo autists who had the ability to get online, the discourse was different, because the makeup of people was different. Eventually that moved to educated people, wealthy people, intelligent consumers, etc. With each iterations the discourse changed. Eventually mobile came around and now everyone had access, then mobile got cheap, and even more had access, and the zone got flooded with all this new noise that wasn’t there before. Now with zero barrier to entry all voices clash against all other voices — simply, there’s no gatekeeping. So what happens is these new voices with their own traumas and issues and anxieties get launched into the internet and amplified because there’s more mass in the bell curve, and the original users get affected by it. This is how we became an anxious society. Because anxiety got multiplied with the democratization of the Internet. Then social media companies begin pushing this anxiety algorithmically because it created more engagement and they could sell more advertisements and the consequence is that people who otherwise may not have had this anxiety, now get it. This is the idea of globalism in a nut shell. They want everyone’s problem to be everyone’s problem because if we all have the same problems we’re forced to solve it all together for everyone. (They believe.) this is not how things actually work. What happens is everybody gets so bogged down that we all fail. The takeaway? It’s probably beneficial to gatekeep. It’s not a dirty word. You wouldn’t tolerate someone yelling in your face in real life, you would walk away. You wouldn’t let anyone insulting you into your home, the same is true online. Whatever the gatekeeping is, is up to you and what you want, to your taste, but likely some form of gatekeeping is necessary. It’s likely not healthy for the mind to constantly be smashed with every single perspective in the world all at once all the time. The unfortunate reality is also that the entire internet context has already changed, so your mind is affected before you even know what or what not to gatekeep. TLDR: Perhaps it’s not best for everyone to always be exposed to everyone’s issues all the time with no form of filtering. For their own individual mental healths. And that is subjective to you what that filter looks like.

VERIFIABLE VIDEO We need verifiable video to prove that footage hasn't been faked with AI. We can get there with cryptocameras. Suppose that when you take a video, you can optionally put its hash onchain for a small fee. This is like a digital notary public. It establishes that (a) the video existed at that timestamp and (b) you are the user who wrote that video file to the blockchain. Of course, it would still possible to take a video, manipulate it with AI, and then put its hash onchain it while claiming it’s real. But it could be made quite difficult, on par with spoofing Apple’s GPS or harder. Any major social network could build verifiable video into their software right now. You just take the camera app and add “verifiabilty” as another mode. It’d be similar to slow-mo or time-lapse, but require a small fee to write a verifiable video onchain. And any phone vendor could also put verifiable video into hardware if sufficient demand existed. They could probably make it very hard to fake by streaming the video hash live to the blockchain as it was recorded. In fact, citizen journalists of the future might have to post verifiable videos, with an onchain checkmark next to them, or else people would consider them more likely to be fake. So, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. AI makes everything easy to fake, but crypto makes it hard again. PS: The use cases go way beyond media as well. If you generalize the concept of cryptocameras to cryptoinstruments, you could get verifiable chain of custody for every important piece of scientific data, like DNA sequencing data or temperature measurements. That could go a long way towards reducing academic fakery and dealing with the replication crisis.

Drone above my house right now. If you zoom in, it looks like it has some sort of gun barrel or nozzle attached.

🚨WHALES CONTINUE ACCUMULATING Not a single whale has sent $HBAR to exchanges yet indicating further incoming supply shocks as more HBAR is being sent to cold wallets. This is extremely bullish and indicates that everyone is expecting an ATH.

If you're angry because: -Inflation is high -Crime is rising -Migrants are invading -Fentanyl Overdoses are rising -The economy is bad The truth is: -Inflation isn't high, it is 2.6% -Crime has been falling for years and continues to fall -Border crossings are the lowest in over 4 years -Fentanyl overdoses are dropping rapidly -America has the best economy in the world You're actually angry about the endless lies designed to keep you upset, scared, and willing to support those who will make your life worse and take your rights away to "solve" these issues. Be angry at the people lying to you.

They’re attacking Pete Hegseth for saying women shouldn’t be in combat with men. As a woman who has a combat action ribbon & was in Fallujah, Iraq, when we attacked Fallujah in 2004, I couldn’t agree more with Pete. I did masonry & carpentry & was one of only two women who did my job. I could physically see how different the men were when me & my best girl friend joined them outside the wire to do our jobs. I’m very proud of my service but I’m not proud that my presence made the men I loved dearly not mission ready because they were worried about keeping me safe instead of being focused on the mission. Women don’t belong in combat with men & I experienced it firsthand. Let the hate flow now.

I asked @elonmusk to put me in charge of cutting the Pentagon. And he said - what are your suggestions? I run the largest left-wing network online and a Democratic leader has NEVER asked me that question. The idea that they would take advice from a populist is disdainful to them.

NYC - dinner for 1 (sad but I enjoy it!) last night $160 at a very average steak place with 2 glass of wine. Tonight at a fancy French place with half bottle of wine $330. Fuck me. In Spain it's a 3rd of the price for 2x better quality. No wonder you changed government.

@elonmusk Definitely disagree on this point. We have enough humans on this planet. Also, not having kids is pretty great tbh.

Trump has fallen below 50% in the popular vote. His margin of victory (pop vote + electoral college) is the third smallest since 1888. (Only JFK in '60 and Nixon in '68 were smaller.) If 238k votes in the blue wall states had been different, he would have lost. Not a mandate.

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you 🙏 #PaulTyson
