Culture is for other peoples’ convenience and the convenience of various institutions, churches, companies, tax collection schemes, what have you. It is not your friend. It insults you. It disempowers you. It uses and abuses you. None of us are well-treated by culture.
not a man in finance this time, but a Terence quote. It went something like this: "I asked the mushroom once, what is the best way to save the world. and it said: every healthy woman should only have one child. this way we could reduce the population by half in one generation." does this ring the bell for anyone?
Do we all remember what Terence said when asked about how to save the world? "make as much art as possible" in hi opinion this is the most efficient way to understand each other. that's why I think that artists will save the planet. not engineers, not IT professionals, not financial moguls. it will be the artists. what do you think? and what art form are you practicing?
@Jonathan Laliberte "If it doesn't work, take more." I always thought this was a very bold statement. Especially in this PC world where everybody wants to save everybody from everything. But Terence goes hard and encourages us to go hard too.
@Manuel Trinidad I agree with the decentralized approach! Just bought my first web3 domain. My main project for 2025 is to set up a web3 based community on a decentralized system.
"the future of drugs will be computers. and the future of computers will be drugs." to me this one is crazy. I mean the way how we are mesmerised by screens is just really backs up this saying. Also the transformations of minds of the people around me show that it's like recalibrating their brain computer by having a compound in a good way. What do you think?
@Libbie Grant although Perplexity.ai said this about the iPhone: "The iPhone 5 had a notably short lifespan in Apple’s product lineup, being available for sale for only about one year. It was initially released on September 21, 2012, and sold over five million units in its first weekend. However, just a year later, Apple made the decision to end its production and sales."
