"the evolution of web3 gaming"

Extinction is a kind of evolution in its final form.

In this case, yes. Today I learned that there is a Magic The Gathering Hall of Fame, and this guy Zvi is in it. Another weird coincidence is that the first big crypto exchange (MTGOX) was built on a Magic The Gathering website.

I used to read this guy Liron on Twitter and interacted with him a little bit. He would sometimes seem logical, like when tearing apart crypto nonsense, but sometimes make dumb or disingenuous arguments like he does in this twitter thread.

Thank you very much for this. It left me wondering how closely correlated polyamory is with the EA / TESCREAL scene. Or perhaps Harry Potter fan fiction.

I'm old and should not give dating advice but I wouldn't think that words like 501 (c) (3) or Technorati would be in a dating profile.

1 - prove a thing exists (AI doctors) 2 - discuss the properties of a thing (AI doctors)

VISA-blocked AI

How does this even occur to someone? What a weird phrase.

Excellent, well-informed take here from the replies:

In the case of drugs, no one really goes to jail fo doing drugs, only selling them.

We are materially focused, for a reason – to open the aperture on how we may choose to live amid material abundance. ... Material abundance from markets and technology opens the space for religion, for politics, and for choices of how to live, socially and individually.

Ah yes, material abundance like living in America's most expensive ZIP code, a neighborhood with an average home price of $8mm and saying this about affordable housing:

"Please IMMEDIATELY REMOVE all multifamily overlay zoning projects from the Housing Element which will be submitted to the state in July," Andreessen and his wife, Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, said via an email to the mayor and city council. "They will MASSIVELY decrease our home values, the quality of life of ourselves and our neighbors and IMMENSELY increase the noise pollution and traffic."

There is something about the Balkans and libertarians -- maybe it's just that new governments are being formed so it's a way in? Or just Russian proxy tankie shit?

When I was younger and dumber I was a card-carrying Libertarian. The last straw that made me quit my membership was their exuberance over being chosen to help form a government for Republika Srpska, a new political entity in the former Yugoslavia founded and run by Serbian war criminals. I can't find anything online, but I vividly remember the LP paper mailers that I used to get with all kinds of libertarian plans to help craft the new government there in the early 90s. The retirement plan was going to be like the Chicago Boys' Chile, and other such things. I figured if they were going to work with war criminals, maybe this thing wasn't so great.

When I see "pica" I think of a typeface, but from context, the author is using a different definition. Do men who want to fight find themselves craving the taste of dirt?

You cannot understand much of modern culture until you've recognized that the state's blunt suppression of the male instinct for glory has caused widespread symptoms of pica that dominate our politics, media, and online interactions.

*pica (usually uncountable, plural picas) (pathology) A disorder characterized by appetite and craving for non-edible substances, such as chalk, clay, dirt, ice, or sand. *

I am saving this to read later, but having eugenics and IQ in the very first sentence makes it look especially promising.

This makes total sense to me. The program lines are the really important stuff, and baseball stats and vestigial organs are like REM in BASIC.

10 Don't forget to breathe

20 My name is Pico Paco, e/Lambda

30 Never more than 2 martinis unless I'm at home

REM What my appendix does is ...

40 Heartbeat = ml/beat x VO2 exerted or whatever
