@Degen_CPA Chardin’s Phenomenon of Man is a great read on the evolution of consciousness - from the subatomic to the complex

Do you guys remember noise about aliens being related to consciousness in some way? What this theory is, is actually insane, and the ramifications of this theory being true, would change everything we know about reality. This theory comes from someone named Thomas Campbell, a former Nasa physicist and now a consciousness researcher. Noise of this theory has come from random people like Tucker Carlson, who claim it came from the people within the government, suggesting it's what the gov believes. Here are the high-level points of this theory: - Consciousness exists as a fundamental layer to reality, a type of fabric, beneath the material world, connecting us all to everything in existence. - We are in an evolution process of consciousness, each of us contributing to this evolution. Together the universe and all beings within it, make up something called the "Larger Consciousness System". - This evolution we are all apart was once entirely existent outside of the material world, and as part of this evolution, the material universe was created. - The earth was created specifically for the beings on this planet. There is no life anywhere else in the universe except of earth. - Aliens are not individual beings in the sense we would think, they are projections of the larger consciousness system to us. - The aliens that have been reported, orbs like the ones that followed fighter jets, are these manifestations. These are being presented to us, to make us question things, to try to nudge us in the right direction, to help assist us with this evolution, and to help us understand what is occuring. I believe this is the leading theory on what aliens are. If this is whats going on, they aren't going to release shit about aliens, because everyone will go absolutely fucking insane.

@mert You need to read “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” by Zuboff

gonna share some of my favorite books at random from different categories (and hope to get some other good ones back) not exhaustive, just at the top of my brain cache i) the beginning of infinity - deutsch ii) skin in the game - taleb iii) the blind watchmaker - dawkins iv) thus spoke zarathustra - nietzsche v) confessions of an advertising man - ogilvy vi) project hail mary - weir vii) lessons of history - durant viii) meditations - marcus aurelius ix) zero to one - thiel x) the brothers karamazov - dostoevsky xi) conjectures and refutations - popper xii) the sovereign individual xiii) the last night of the earth poems - bukowski bonus: the network state - balaji

Arbitrum's $10M audit program is a big step in the right direction, but it leaves critical gaps unresolved. Our proposal tackles those issues and expands access to security coverage across the entire Arbitrum ecosystem, raising the baseline for everyone forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/non-constitu…

Arbitrum's growth has created more demand for security coverage than traditional providers can supply. Automated security analysis is faster and more cost-effective than manual audits, helping allocate expert human resources to the critical contracts where they're needed most.

we weren't joking about redefining blockchain security Octane's automated intelligence now helps secure over $186B of onchain value join the industry leaders strengthening their operations with Octane's holistic security analysis

Octane is on fire 🔥 From zero to $186 BILLION of value secured in less than a year Grateful to all our incredible partners for seeing the future and sharing the vision. A higher standard of security is here, and it's powered by Octane

We don't recommend yelling at your auditors. We do recommend using Octane

Treasury put out a fairly open ended request for information on Stablecoins, privacy, and surveillance. We didn't pull our punches: 1. Stablecoins on public chains with traditional AML = CBDC style panopticon. 2. Treasury should encourage the issuance of stablecoins on privacy preserving chains, and the use of privacy tools like Privacy Pools on public chains. 3. Universal view keys for stablecoin issuance on privacy preserving chains recreates the panopticon problem. 4. For already regulated folks (like issuers) much good could be done by moving from traditional AML document collection to a verifiable credential and zero-knowledge proof based ID regime--Treasury should start developing pilots to encourage that transition. 5. Freeze and seize powers at stablecoin issuers will inevitably have issues with false positives--innocent Americans digitally debanked. These powers cannot constitutionally be used on Americans or their assets without a warrant.

@blknoiz06 Everyone in CT needs to read of "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" by Zuboff

guy who believes crypto is a better long opp than stocks because of the fragility of the financial system built on an aggressively weakening dollar and the advantages of holding bearer assets that cannot be seized, but doesn't own zcash

Smart contract security is being transformed by AI automation. Currently there are 5 levels of automation, from fully manual to fully autonomous. Here’s how to assess where your team falls (most teams are still stuck on level 0):

@StartupArchive_ One of the many reasons why DAOs don’t work in their current form

Peter Thiel: There is no wisdom of crowds Thiel suggests that the antithesis of his book Zero To One is Malcolm Gladwell’s The Wisdom of Crowds. “If you have to give credit to Malcolm Gladwell, the way the argument actually works in the wisdom of crowds is if you have a crowd of people and they independently make a judgement, you can average it out and you’ll get to a pretty good idea.” The classic example is asking a group of people to independently guess how many marbles are in a bag—the average answer will be pretty good. “But the problem is that in most cases, the decisions don’t end up getting made individually.” Thiel explains. “People are influenced by one another. And when you have a crowd dynamic in which people are drawing conclusions because they’re looking toward one another, that is where the crowd is untruth.” Thiel believes imitation is a deep part of human nature: “Kids learn language by copying their parents. It’s how culture is transmitted in our society. But it’s also how very many things go wrong.” Thiel believes you need to go against the crowd if you want to accomplish something truly great. He points out that many of the most successful entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley seem to be suffering from a mild form of Aspergers. Video source: @OxfordSBS (2015)
