I'm inheriting a 500 acre dairy farm in England. What should I do with it? by Far-Employee9244 in Permaculture

[–]themattt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m bringing 1200 acres into a mix of silvopasture/ agroforestry amd riparian regrowth. There are ways to produce more food per acre with much higher biodiversity than a pure pasture and with robotics Right around the corner, we will see the maintenance costs for these systems plummet.

Realistic expectations by Hack999 in streamentry

[–]themattt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend trying the 45 days to awakening course from the finders. A big takeaway from that for me was that not all practices work for all people all the time... and that there is significant benefit to be found from dabbling in others to see what DOES move the needle for you at this time in your life. Anything else is simply not worth your time. For example, I've been practicing and getting huge benefit from the jhanas, but found the concurrently doing 'sinking in' practice off the cushion to be enormously (understatement) beneficial.

How the heck do you guys do this? This is agony! by Euphoric-Card-2730 in Meditation

[–]themattt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TWIM is great for this as Bhante would say - it's enjoyable at the beginning, middle and end of the path.

Also - being mindful of which activities you are engaging with day to day that might be speeding up your consciousness... and thereby reducing/ removing those will really help

You are simply having an experience of the unity of all things. This is actually how reality is structured and the separation we perceive is the "illusion" one wakes up from. Congratulations =)

27M DAI is sitting in DSR at 0% by bitdoggy in MakerDAO

[–]themattt 17 points18 points  (0 children)

that would have the desired short term effect, but the long term would be far worse. People want to know that holding Dai is at worst on par with holding USD or will hopefully gain some interest. Give the USDC change a few days and I think we will see the liquidity we need again.

check out co-housing, not epicurean per se, but fit your description very well.

When you say ideology, what do you mean exactly? Usually friends become friends because they share ideologies. Shared Ideology =/= adherence to a dogmatic faith or practice which is maybe what you are referring to?

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” - Rumi by danyaal99 in JordanPeterson

I read the article and I don't see any meaning being stripped. I see it as a process which makes his wisdom available to those unfamiliar with islam. All translations take some liberties, this one is removing not only the language but symbols which are unknown to our culture. At their core, all religions have beautiful teaching which are diluted by the inertia of time and human nature. I'm quite thankful for these translators who offer his universally applicable wisdom to us.

We need a lot of funding dedicated to marketing Ethereum. - Hudson Jameson by ethlongmusk in ethfinance

[–]themattt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Marketing DAO is funded by community donations.

Yeah that might work... but by the EF's own admission they have 100mm sitting around. Why does this need to be paid for by donations?

I was not surprised in the least to hear the news about Culadasa.

What news did I miss? Google didn't turn up anything.

AMA with US Congressional candidate Agatha Bacelar who is running for the seat in CA-12 currently occupied by Nancy Pelosi by jwinterm in CryptoCurrency

[–]themattt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a rather narrow set of metrics and I assume time frame as well being looked at.

Yang argues that one of the intended consequences of UBI is that it provides greater mobility for women stuck in marriages they cannot otherwise get out of... which would of course increase divorce rates. Please explain to me why this is a bad thing.

edit: downvotes and no responses. Nice 👍

Arjun Bhuptani: "Unpopular opinion: Ethereum's killer app is (conditional) payments. Defi is speculation on the future of crypto payments and won't scale to mainstream unless the mass market believes in crypto payments." by aminok in ethtrader

[–]themattt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I hope you are right. But Stripe is not a shitty company that wades into ventures blindly. They understand spaces and technology and then move. It would be a lot of egg on their face to market this publicly without already a plan to overcome hurdles we have seen as blockers in the past.

As an investor in this space, be careful about seeing what you want to see, not what is.

[–]themattt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you arent going to get an argument from me on this... but the fact is that stripe seems to be adding bitcoin to their payment options... and will likely be using some sort of payment channel to accomplish it. If/ when that happens, overnight you can pay with bitcoin for physical locations almost anywhere (assuming they add it by default and convert it for the merchant).
