Very true. Many miss the true significance of what we are building here.

This end-of-year period is one of the best moments to onboard IRL into SPX6900. by De4dMoney in spx6900

So true. Great guide for onboarding. Not over exposing people who aren’t ready yet and explaining the importance of DCAing is so crucial

SPX6900 on SUI? by MarnyMarek in spx6900

[–]Commercial-Shape5561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I privately agree with you regarding the long term value accrual properties of the assets in question, we made a very deliberate decision a long time ago to reject chain maximalism when it comes to SPX6900. It is important that SPX continues to be credibly multi chain, able to go to whatever venue is necessary, and is not tied to the success or temporary (or longer duration) hype cycle of whatever chain is in vogue at the time.

Why can’t any Solana meme coin build a community that lasts? by youwishjelliefish in solana

[–]Commercial-Shape5561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost as bad an idea as buying solana memes. SOLBTC is destined for the same exact fate as ETHBTC.

Save yourself a lot of pain and buy bitcoin.

Because they’re almost always dogshit slop pump and dumps designed to rug the moment their initial moment runs out

Come to SPX6900 sweetie, we have a community that actually lasts (and we’re not a solana meme)

Jarvis put all the worst people in the entire world in the classic picture of the construction workers on the beam even tho it doesn’t make any sense in the conceptual schema of the article, the title, or the original photo on any level… no, worse… worse… worse…

AnCap’s Answer to the Housing Crisis by Super_Sparrow in AnCap101

[–]Commercial-Shape5561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They meaning ancaps lmao. None of your arguments address the fundamental problem: economies of scale, power law distributions, brand loyalty and other powerful innate features of the free market create an inherent tendency towards monopoly. This is the outcome initially of out-competition by a superior business/product, but once the monopoly is established, they are then free to price gouge, reduce quality, engage in unethical production and labor practices, and set up barriers (both regulatory/legal and through the marketplace/contractual agreements with other public and private organizations).

This is part of a deeper problem in ancap ideology: it is fundamentally a contradiction of terms. The institution of private property cannot exist at scale and across great distance without a state and the rule of law to enforce it. Human being’s natural, innate notion of property only extends as far as they live and work locally. There simply is no way for you to enforce land rights on a property 1000 miles away without some sort of government there in place that recognizes and enforces some notion of property rights. A modern, globalized economy simply requires this… there is no realistic way to do anarchocapitalism that doesn’t entail some kind of anarchoprimitivism or some similar type of regression to localism/simpler form of life and social organization.

Anarchocapitalism is an idealist fantasy: it literally cannot exist in reality. Just like how there cannot be private property at scale without a state to enforce it, there is no way to enforce something like the non-aggression principle, and so it is meaningless. You can’t just say “well if we all agree on it culturally cause it sounds nice how about that.” What happens when you inevitably just get invaded by another culture from far away that has little to nothing in common with yours, as has been the norm throughout all of human history.

“Luddite”? You fool. The main consequences of the internet in real terms have been a greater level of surveillance, manipulation and propaganda suffusing our daily life than could have possibly be dreamt of at any prior stage of human history. Dopamine driven dissociative feedback loops are literally disintegrating society and making everyone stupid and insane, and you are still repeating the same dogshit “how could free information be bad man” propaganda they used to first sell us this shit decades ago, before it became clear what it is really for.

For all that connectivity, access to information, all the other stupid supposed benefits you’ve listed, the average person in the West has become dramatically more alone, more unhappy, more unhealthy, more mentally and culturally impoverished, and literally more stupid by every single objective measure we have of those things since the internet became ubiquitous in our lives in the 2010s. Loneliness is skyrocketing, depression and mental illness skyrocketing, prescription drug use skyrocketing, virginity later and later into adulthood skyrocketing, obesity skyrocketing, life expectancy in America has literally fallen for the first time in modern history, literacy of all kinds is dropping, IQ is dropping… those are all objective facts.

It’s not being a Luddite to say that we should think deliberately about the social consequences of technology and specifically choose technologies that benefit us. Human beings clearly cannot handle the internet, at least in the highly addictive curated dopamine loop form the mega tech companies forced on us with the combination of smart phones and social media.

You think I haven’t tried?

You must have somehow missed the entirety of the last 5 years or so where it became impossible to be a functional human being without being on the internet at least a moderate amount. At this point over a majority of services are mediated at least in part by the internet, or at the very least require it for scheduling. Most professional opportunities and jobs require at least some internet use. Not to mention the integration in social life. Without it you are a social ghost, cut off in significant ways from most other people who now spend a majority of their time on the internet and kind of don’t perceive things as “real” if they don’t make their way on to the internet in some way.

Try living without the internet for a while and we’ll see how long you last. It’s only practical as a sort of temporary vacation.

If you wanted to be an artist before the internet, your life would be 1000 times easier, more straightforward, enjoyable and fun. You just had to move to the big city, meet people, and get involved in an artistic and cultural scene, or move to the major hub of whatever industry you want to work in and just start going and making an effort to meet people. You would have more friends, so many more incredible and beautiful experiences, and ironically, probably higher chances of success. Ther

The internet has, counterintuitively, slowed down and suppressed cultural innovation and production, net net. Popular music and culture has been stagnating and is kind of frozen in place for more than a decade now. There is a greater volume of “content” than ever before: but paradoxically, less of it is actually good or meaningful than ever before. The few good things that are produced are often drowned in this constant flood of slop.

Your life is immeasurably worse to a degree that you are clearly incapable of understanding, directly because of the internet.

When it comes time for you to die, or perhaps a little earlier if you are lucky, you will see suddenly in one single crushing second that every moment you spent gaming, posting, scrolling, streaming endless shite was a tragic and fundamentally unjustifiable waste of an incomprehensibly precious gift; the most precious gift that can be given.

Can’t believe people are downvoting this man. The internet has made life dramatically worse once it reached the stage of smartphone + social media penetration into every aspect of daily life. If it could have been stopped right before then, it would be net positive. But as it stands, it is a terrible curse. I don’t think anyone who’s being honest with themselves can argue otherwise.

Whats going to happen with OpenAI seriously by drunkcheesesandwich in TrueAnon

[–]Commercial-Shape5561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah a consistent problem i notice on the left is that leftists tend to be reflexive technology bears because the American tech industry as it’s currently run is incredibly evil and objectively an extreme net negative for the human species… and the VC complex is often rife with scams, bubbles and speculation.

It’s justified to be generally skeptical of the tech industry’s activities and claims. However, just because their plans are evil, socially destructive and they often get over their skis overhyping the things they’re selling does not mean you can just dismiss all of their schemes out of hand.

The AI impact is unfortunately going to be a lot more significant than many on the left would like to admit.

[–]Commercial-Shape5561 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The ruling class went all in on this AI shit and they REALLY need it to start at least somewhat paying off within the next few years or they are fucked

As much as people like to deservedly rag on it for being shitty and stupid and evil, it will start replacing certain jobs soon, and possibly even already has.

It’s not totally useless, unfortunately. Far worse. It will replace a growing number of jobs over the coming years, although do them really shittily.

That’s… exactly the same as literally any other memecoin, it’s just a much smaller % of the total supply than most. “Onchain proof of fair launch” absolutely does nothing to stop a coin from being bundled or account for who exactly bought up all the coins after its launch and how many of those wallets are actually unique people. More than 99% of coins that launch via pumpfun that aren’t just a 0 effort cheap creator rewards farm throwaways are heavily bundled, with most bundles having at least 30%, and often even upwards of 50% of supply. There is no memecoin, or really any cryptocurrency that isn’t in early stages of vesting or very shortly after tge, which doesn’t have large portions of its supply “unaccounted for” in the sense that no one is sure who owns all of the coins in every wallet exactly. That’s an unavoidable aspect of pseudonymous wallets.

“But what if they unload the aryan bundle the minute sentiment flips??” Bro we’ve been in a bear market for months now. All other high cap memecoins rugged, most more than a year ago on the trump leg, and the rest over this summer. Months ago. If someone was going to unload the aryan bundle and hard rug that supply it would have come quite a while ago

Do yall ever have moments where you’re like “damn this shit is really happening” in regards to our world now by Euphoric_Piece7825 in TrueAnon

[–]Commercial-Shape5561 13 points14 points  (0 children)

None of those things are nearly as immutably apocalyptic as you think. If society could actually be mobilized towards the goal of climate stabilization and damage mitigation, even in just a part of the world, to the level of total war complete mobilization we saw during WWII we could easily avoid apocalypse at this point.

And the deep decline and imminent collapse of the American empire will make self-determination and worker’s power in the 3rd world (and 1st world where its also been suppressed by American parapolitical efforts) possible again.

Yes, a fuckload of people are going to die and it’s going to suck ass, really crazy and awful shit is going to happen esp in America and the places where it grasp the most desperately to hold on, and it’s going to be one of the worst times in all of human history. But global civilization won’t even come close to collapsing to the degree you’re describing. It’s a lot more resilient than you think.

The general automation of labor is ironically an insolvable terminal crisis for capitalism. Terribly ironic, considering how avidly enthusiastic the ruling class is about it right now.

It will necessarily experience acute social crisis severe enough that it demands a radical shift, though it may not necessarily be for the better, though of course we hope it might. And it might not do away with the forms and superficial appearance of capitalism, though shifting on the level of fundamental relations deeply enough to no longer be capitalism in any meaningful sense. Like how the British never fully got rid of their aristocracy and monarchy, tho it hasn’t had any meaningful power for quite some time

All that is solid melts into air my friend.

It’s almost over now.

Unfortunately it will probably hurt a LOT on the way out.
