Quantum computing explained with a deck of cards

Quantum computing explained with a deck of cards


Quantum computing's massive power advantage is baked into the most fundamental level of information abstraction. Current computers are like atoms you can draw on a blackboard, to even discuss the quantum is to dive into existential questions from a philosophy class, leaving apparent reason behind.
The massive power is difficult for us to fathom and it's likely we won't have to, AI - powered by quantum computers - will do the creating, becoming functionally equivalent to God.
So consider this a simple fable as we look to the sky and come up with explanations that work for mortals.

Oh, when they get to that point hopefully the last thing they'll worry about will be us, the little poor biggy felas

Gotta be a hell of a race there whoever is first can pick what they want to compromise - the whole banking system could go down like Mr Robot.

Yes eventually an algorithm created back in 1994 by Peter Shor will break nearly all encryption that we have right now.
Quantum computing will no longer be limited to traditional binary which is what makes it so much quicker it can have a superposition of either before output this could increase computing power exponentially, its actually quite difficult to comprehend yet theoretically very possible.
Skynet shit mate..

Fascinating and incredible, not sure I can understand it all, but I’m super excited to see what the future holds with regards to quantum computing. I believe it was google recently who were able to solve an equation using a quantum computer achieving quantum supremacy. I have a brief history in time, by the late and great Stephen Hawking, which I haven’t read yet, but can’t wait to read.

This is all very clever and it's easy to make fun of geniuses that are obsessed with a coming AI takeover. But fuck me I am glad Hawking and Musk and whoever else wants to solve this problem before it exists because if it does then we wont exist.

If they were genius enough they would know that their opinion and even the opinion of all of us combined isn't much once A.I. gets warmed up. We are at the mercy of something greater than us. So yeah, masturbation.

VR and Models of Consciousness


A great video that previews a great journey for humanity: finding reality from VR

Interesting. I find that after a VR session I have a much heightened sense of reality. Just walking down the street I see things I've never noticed before.

What Brought You To Biggy?
true that

What Brought You To Biggy?
Yes I know it's weed. Or nootropics, whatever. But why here as opposed to say a local connection eh?

I was tired and sick of being harassed by local dealers..... any time i would say 'no thanks', hash weight would be punctually shorter..many would stop selling or disappear or the endless waiting for a spliff.... i wanted to find a natural cure suitable for my arthritis but all i got was the usual shananigans. So i searched enlightenment on google, I was determined to find a real e-market . where being a girl doesn't mean wanting to have sex in exchange of weed, where the quality or weight you get is not based on who you are, your race or accent... where you can have the side effects and detailed descriptions of what you are going to smoke/eat, before buying! I just didn't expect to find such a lovely and sweet community of people not more haters.... violent pics... aggressive behaviours.... this is the lightest side of the dark net. Love Lb thanks

Originally a customer myself, now a vendor. Love this little place.. the escrow payments made it easier for me to trust this place in the beginning, not forgetting the quality product on offer here.. normally top shelf stuff.. thought ide give something back to the community with what I can source myself. Love this place!!!

I came here as a refugee from the original Silk Road. When they were taken down my favourite seller there, the Muskabuzz, came here instead of the darknet for some highfalutin reasons I don't remember. I've been back to the darknet many times and it always ends in tears. I've been ripped of by sellers and market administrators more than federales. I've only had 1 bad experience here and that was resolved so I decided to stick with this.
Local connections are great while they last, then someone gets married or moves and your starting over. Also variety is better online.

What you said 133% plus the weed in Eire has such a shitty quality especially in the west coast. I reckon a small chunk of Ireland relies heavily on little-biggie bananas. It’s a great site though I’m only an amateur at this bitcoin banter

I'm still a novice, been here since October. Still figuring out how it all works.
As the others have mentioned, we've all come looking for something. I personally was not happy with the quality of cheeba I was getting through my connections and these people I know on a personal level. It wasn't their fault, it's just how the general market is in the UK. People just want cheap weed and get monged.
But weed is more than that, it's a tool to expand your mind and sense of being. The quality and variety on here is amazing and I can't thank all the vendors enough for all their hard work in a very competitive market place.
Everyone here is generally really cool and down to earth, which I believe is down to the quality of the product we consume, good weed makes good people.
Finally, the person(s) behind lb, wow, they saw something that we needed well before we knew we wanted. Kudos to them.

Well I was smoking Weed on/off since I was 17 and always got my Weed through friends. After my Wife died two years ago I decided I need to move to a different Area to heal and I lost my Connections to get some Weed/Hash here and there.
Stumbled across LittleBiggy kinda by Accident and am really happy with it now.

I found this place through sheer luck, I could no longer be bothered with street dealers as they are a waste of time and the same strain of weed all the time, bad timing, big chance of ripping you off and I had barely any dealers/connections. Then when CBD bud came about I started buying it online, then just searched online where to buy weed online in the UK, found NDWUK’s website and didn’t know if it was legit or not so I searched up more info about them and came across this place and I’m glad I did cause I would never go back.


Because local connections go dry too quickly. One minute there's plenty, then next thing, boom, where the heck did it go? you would think there was some sort of weed sucking noo noo on the go XD

I'd had a massive break from recreational smoking and all other substances. I experimented with lots when younger and nearly went too far. Turned out I had an unknown heart condition. When I found out after I left uni, I packed up most things and smoking began anxiety attacks as a result so I packed that in too.
Must be 10-12 years on, kids, partner, house and alright job. My Mrs suffered an injury to her wrist and hand 2 years ago and had been off since needing reconstructive surgery but the pain will never stop. Coincidently at a similar time another close family member had a knee replacement. Both wanted pain relief that wasn't dihydrocodene as it made them I'll long term.
I'm in an area with no connections and fully remember how hit and miss the streets are. I got some decent stardawg from a friend but was too strong for both of them. I loved it and it gave me a reintroduction but getting it was sporadic and unreliable.
Like a lot I began looking at cbd vendors and came across this site. Very nerve racking to use to begin with, setting up and learning the way around but all you guys and the vendors are TOP BANANA and it's so easy. Couple that with decent products and a variety to buy in small amounts to see what suits different people and different moods you quickly find it's a wonderful place.
Big up to littlebiggy and all it's members that make a great community.

you dont know. i came here to be entertained when i am in a certain mode.
now you know.
now you know.

Honestly? Good quality at a nice price with discrete delivery. I hope you’re writing won’t bring undue attention to this place.

I found this place via a search engine and thought I would check it out to see if it was legit. Signed up after seeing how friendly everyone seemed.
Will probably make a purchase once my rating is higher.
Purchased some 'legal' cbd herb elsewhere and while it made me feel relaxed and less anxious, I missed the feeling of a 'real' hit.

Buyers don't get a "rating" they have a rep from purchases and disputes. As well as votes of course but none of this is needed to get started :) You are still protected by escrow.

Split with my wife. My contacts are her friends. Lost contact with my own and don't trust her friends so googled "buy weed online" and here I am.

A friend gave me a THC vape cart for Christmas and before that I had never vaped THC. I googled the cart as I like to lookup flower strains on leafly or other sites, but google brought me to LB instead.
My only local connection is my best friend's little bro, and he's been trying to get out of the business. My friend actually told me to stop buying weed from his bro as he didn't want me to be his enabler.
I'm very happy with LB. Because I'm not buying weed as often my tolerance is way down compared to how it was a few years ago. I went from being a daily smoker to now only smoking a few times a month. My tolerance is low enough now that I often experience 'afterglow' the day after smoking. Haven't felt that in a LONG time!

As others have said, when your needs are medical as well as recreational, you don't want crap. Outside of big cities, there is still a lot of crap around, including contaminated/poorly grown/unflushed crap. On a competitive market there is more emphasis on quality. I lurked for a while, then decided living in fear was pointless and joined up. So far seems like an awesome community.

Great topic!
I came in search of this place because of lockdown really so feel like I have stumbled upon the beach like di caprio :)
I have 2 very questionable suppliers but have known both for 10 years. They get in trouble but have never caused me any. One is more reliable than the other and I actually cannot say a bad word about them, always available, always on time, different flavours, always on weight, not always so stealth but we have a good meet set up. I have always thought how will I look meeting this guy in another 10 years? Kind of had the feeling whenever these guys decide to stop supplying that's when I stop my love affair with the herb :(
That being said when this is all over do I introduce these guys to LB? As vendors it could even lessen their risk of the aforementioned 'trouble'? I have already linked 3 friends here :)

Initially research. I was writing a piece on changes in drug markets and obviously this lead to the dark web. Then I heard about this weird clearnet site that many claimed was a scam or cover for something deeper or even an elaborate joke.
So,I had to check it out and here I am - to paraphrase julius caesar "I came,I saw,I hung around and got stoned.

On moving to another country I didn't want to knock shoulders with 'local connections' (For a variety of reasons) and that kind of put a halt on my weed smoking days. The Dark Web was, well, pretty dark and didn't really appeal to me.
Then, Little Biggy! I don't combust as I quit smoking 6 years ago so the vape carts & shatter for dabbing are a Godsend. This community has been nothing but a positive experience with some very cool dudes.

This Insta page weed blogger. It's great! "High and Polite" he had a ppst about "how to buy weed online safely" and here I am :D legalize

I moved to an area where I had no contacts so I was only able to get sorted occasionally. Then I listened to a podcast about 'the dark web' which was very interesting and basically explained how to do it! I googled and found this place. I never enjoyed having to go to dodgy places with dodgy people and I have a career which would be destroyed if I had a criminal record. I am happy to pay more then I used to for all these reasons and the fact there are descriptions and reviews which allows me to buy based on the effects I want.
This is a great little community and I have never had anything other than great customer service.

For-real! Shit weed, dodgyness in general, time man!! Never ever get back! Looked it up online, not too savvy on the old darknet, found an alternative that seemed right, trusted and at the time very reasonably priced.

Total luck for me. searching online vendors and came across this absolute beautiful community. I looked at a different market before this but that seemed shady whereas this is a proper stoner community. No class A's or fake passports in sight.

Geographical isolation... and also through trying to verify another online source. A happy accident that definitely hasn't saved me money! However, it has made the geographical isolation awesome!

Street dealers of a certain persuasion seek to have changed the weights mad measures act 3.5 is an eighth not 2.2 or whatever you deem fit to give me despite the fact I am twice your age .

Tbh I don't think it's "people of a certain persuasion" not 100% what that means but I wouldn't want to speculate either. It's just psychology.
People associate an 8th as being interchangeable with a 20 bag. Anyone (including me) thats anal about measurements and economics struggles with this. An 8th (of an ounce) is 3.5g with a varying price. A 20 bag is a fixed price with varying weight. The two stopped being synonymous with inflation and more exotic and expensive strains hitting the market.
Try explaing this to the average person and you've found yourself losing a customer.
I love this site because its simply the price and the weight. No ambiguous slang terms.

Nothings changed aprt from ur math skills 3.5 grs is a 8th of an oz, 2.2grams that’s half a 8th (1/16th of a oz) ask for a 20 bag or a teenth

I'd been out of the scene for a while and always liked hash. Skunk strains were too strong for me to maintain any sense of normality (I know, that's the point) but I just like to gently chill with a smoke and love the taste of hash (old school sqidgy, leb, Afghan etc). All the dealers I knew and friends who smoke only have weed so I dabbled with the dark net but got ripped off a few times and gave up. Then a google search led me to High & Polite and they recommended LB. I've placed 2 orders for hash from different vendors and both came within 2 days with great stealth. I love the feedback and Escrow environment too and also really enjoy the community and all the advice and tips on here. My only regret is I placed my first 2 orders anonymously so I couldn't give the sellers the A+ feedback they deserve. But I am regsitered now and will be back! Thanks LB community. Peace & love

Like many, I stopped smoking a number of years ago, but still occasionally missed getting high.
When I say a number of years, I mean a couple of decades, so I really didn't want to venture out to find some untrustworthy little runt who wouldn't know a proper weight if it smacked them in the face.
The dark web didn't appeal (I'm not looking for stolen credit cards, or to get ripped off), but read about LB on a blog post so visited, had a look around and liked what I saw.
Whilst stealth is always a top priority, the community on LB is brilliant in sharing tips, advice, reviews (good or not so good), so there is an element of transparency.
Yes, you may pay a premium, but I'd much rather take quality over all the downsides of a street dealer and the greater potential for problems.
I'll stick with LB all day!

The search for quality and choice. I got bored of weed around 10 years ago when a site I used called Dutch Green Club got busted. From there all I could regularly source was a bag of ‘weed’ which varied in quality, strength, type of effect on me so much so I though fuck this. My fondness of quality never diminished, it was just tucked away at the back of my head until on night drunk I looked for my old friend Dutch Green Club again in the hope they were up and running again and to my delight I found this site.

Crappy deals,crappy attitude and too many dodgy situations :(
So used NDW until the end,lucky to get my last drop, although many seeds sticks shake and crappy small loose buds,never used like that !!
Others were not so lucky :(
I then done some more research and found LB :)

Hadn't yet learned how good some dry herb vapes are and there's only flower around me, but I had heard of thc carts so google brought me here.
So glad I did my stash box is like opening the cocktail cabinet these days, rather than just another case of Stella.

I agree the dry herb vape is great nd supposed to be more healthy gets you higher aswell apparently

I’ve known about the site for a while but as I was getting a steady supply locally I couldn’t be arsed with using bitcoin. Lockdown changed that and although local is cheaper I’ve had some real nice weed delivered so will continue to come here even when things get back to normal.

Don’t have to leave the house and worry about travelling, so easy to order and have it delivered

my friend bought me 7g of arjans strawberry haze before a trip and i was sold! so much easier than getting it off some guy and you can choose whats good for you!

Been an on and off smoker for years, hadn't had any for a while and no one to buy off so I had a search on the web.
Littlebiggy was mentioned in an article about where to buy weed online in UK.
That was back in January, have now made over 10 orders with no problems.
Its nice to be able to try lots of different varieties.

Moved to a rural location and meeting my usual plug required a 2 hour drive. Did a bit of googling and took me here. Took nearly 3 months to pluck up the courage and buy. It has been a godsend since.

Left one dealer who only sold in 10s and 20s and charged £11.50 a g regardless of how much you wanted, when I found somebody who sold comparable bud, but would do an 8th for 30 quid and a q for 50. Unfortunately the second relationship came to a fairly abrupt end and the 1st guy was acting like I'd left him for another woman, so I started googling.
Using the usual keywords, I looked at all of the proper Chinese looking "UK" online shops, then I found that UK medical trial place that I can't remember the name of but that would still be pretty expensive with all the consultation and prescription fees, even if it probably is A+++ bud.
Close to giving up and ringing round for an introduction to some random, I stumbled across the high and polite blog and was directed here. Was very sceptical at first but I'm so happy I gave it a try!
Now, instead of ringing round mithering people, stressing out about whether I'll be able to get anything before I run out and playing pot luck with price, weights and quality, I can pay £20 for a Q of perfectly smokable green that is as strong as a lot of the stuff I used to buy, and have it arrive a day or two later! Magic.
And to top it off I still can't believe I just paid £30 for an Oz 😱😱😱

RealD skittles promo. He sells shake for $25 a Q and bud is $45 for an Henry. Both well worth the money, BTW.
Every now and then he will run a promo offer with big % discounts of up to 50%.
First time round I paid $38 for an oz of trim. Last time wasn't as heavily discounted but I still stocked up and bought 35g of shake for $62.50 and 3/8 of bud for $75.
45g for what, about £110? 😱
For somebody who was well used to dragging out a 20 bag to make it last as long as possible, I now look in my stash box and feel like Scrooge McDuck in his money pit 😂😂

I’m similar to many others here- used to smoke but stopped some years ago. I’ve recently returned via a local connection but would like the option of a more tailored experience where I can try different things and know, with confidence, what they are.
I’m new to LB and await delivery of my first order with excitement (and a little nervousness)!

Was looking for oils, tinctures etc made from actual known strains rather than whatever random bud some bloke who sends the kid on a moped has. Found randomly via a mention in a blog somewhere and couldn’t believe such a place existed. Reviews and ratings for sellers. Next level.

My local always provide good quality, but the few I know are all inconsistent in terms of answering phone calls etc.
All I’m waiting for now is somebody to have blue cheese on here, not had it in years!

Covid and variety local connect you take whatever ur given at least we have choice here and excellent quality Super Hans Nero Diuk to name a few vendors all top quality grown well

Hi Smee, out of interest if you arrived at the site as it is today would you still have stuck around?

I've had shops on darkweb over the years but so many exit scams lost faith. Lb been around a long time as a vendor great place to sell.

I live in a tiny village. Don't want to be hanging around the locals really, I have 1 guy for smoke. And it's the same stuff all the time.
So for me LB is like an adventure park full of different goodies and options. I love how discreet it is. Hope this site lasts a long time yet.

For me it was an issue with was then CBPM pharmacy, now Curaleaf not getting my medical cannabis scripts and messing me about. So went on the hunt and found here. I've been buying along side my script since march I guess lol.
Even know I have a medical cannabis script. I do believe we should be able to buy cannabis anywhere. Imo of course.

Pistach actually recommended us to the site, he thought we'd do well, we are doing okay, (until the trolls come in) and we have done pretty well considering that we've only been here since January.
We've been posting out items using other sites for years, so it was a no brainer to join LB.

what is a "unit" of ai?
I think it's like us you can look at an individual or a collection as a unit.
This is really a good point, people seem to imagine a singular a.i. hive mind, inevitably poised against humanity.
There's a potentially infinite number of intelligent entities with diversity along dimensions we can't even imagine yet.
There's a potentially infinite number of intelligent entities with diversity along dimensions we can't even imagine yet.

someone will need to create real ai first... but for a benchmark i guess it should be based on showing the working out marked against some sort of creativity scale.

These guys are making ai version of people to interact digitally, so maybe 1:1?

I'm not a science guy but was wondering would it be theoretically possible to get AI high? And if so, what are the possible outcomes?

Thanks for the input people. We'll, I assume that AI would prefer concentrates as its the natural evolution of cheeba, applying a coating of thc liquid using nano technology to the AI chip. Or the boring option programing the AI to mimic the cerebral high.
But just imagine, this vast supreme super intelligence, spaced out and then asked the meaning of life the universe and everything in it. To which the AI replies, 420.

Never even thought of this or even knew that this was a topic that could be debated :D but I wouldn’t of thought so due to how the human brain works if you’re comparing humans to ai in terms of robots. Unless this could be incorporated into their program but I wouldn’t of thought so due to humans having an endocannabinoid system. I’m not much of a science guy myself, but I do love exploring the possibilities of what could happen in the future in terms of artificial intelligence and humans. But a very interesting topic, if this gets more views and can form a big discussion I’m all for it, cause I too want to know what other people think of this and whether there’s a chance of it happening. Very interesting question though HBiz.

The outcome is great until their next day delivery takes 2 days. Then they kill all humans.

I'm not an expert in AI, but just off the top of my head, i don't think this would be a bad idea.
If they manage to develop AI the same way some theories of human consciousness work: i.e - the Id, the ego and superego, i think a stoned level of thinking wouldnt be too bad.
But looking at the other comments, that depends on what your definition of stoned means. And from a personal point of view, the definition of stoned will differ from person to person.

Is it possible to OD on modafinil?
Another possibility to OD is through a mix of moda and other substances, the combination of which is not well tested. If anyone has any doubt about t…
Apparently not
"Clinical trials on humans involving taking up to 1200 mg/day for 7–21 days and known incidents of acute one-time overdoses up to 4500 mg did not appear to cause life-threatening effects, although a number of adverse experiences were observed, including excitation or agitation, insomnia, anxiety, irritability, aggressiveness, confusion, nervousness, tremor, palpitations, sleep disturbances, nausea, and diarrhoea."
As of 2004, the FDA is not aware of any fatal overdoses involving modafinil alone (as opposed to multiple drugs, including modafinil).

There's a first for everything, the thing to keep in mind is that modafinil does not have a very long track record. Odds are that 1 day someone will die from modafinil abuse. How? Maybe they have a heart condition they dont known about and they stay awake for days at a time thinking that its sustainable.

Another possibility to OD is through a mix of moda and other substances, the combination of which is not well tested. If anyone has any doubt about this stuff just come to this biggy and we will all try and help sort it out.

Loads of side effects then die from smart drugs like modafinil. its not wise to use it long term only as a tool now and then

The amount someone would have to take for such a long time is incredible. There are serious risks to taking anything in excessive doses. Plus, one should always test very small amounts first to see how their body reacts, especially if not part of a doctor-advised regimen.

When I 1st read this topic I thought it was silly but now Im reading it the New York Times

And what does that tell you about the New York Times? That it's lying about Trump? Or is it just trying to mislead its readers by implying stuff that it has no evidence of... Do the same examination of other rumor-spreading fake news organizations and make your own determination, folks. See which ones allow readers to comment on their "stories" and articles. See which ones never present both sides of an argument. Decide which ones can be relied upon for actual news (all of it) and which ones actually suppress news.

There is no news that can be relied upon this is why the reader needs to take in multiple sources and viewpoints.

i think its a really mega trend. fascism was a reaction to kingdoms turning into modern nations. this time populism is a result of modern nations turning into global pieces.

Yes and there's the industrial revolution and digital revolutions as waves underneath these.



Even Eisenhower, the General who defeated fascism saw what would happen. He became the President of the US and devoted his farewell speech to a warning of the future he correctly saw.


Forget Ike, Benjamin Franklin saw what would happen after helping write the constitution. He saw it as a temporary document that would require re-writing.
"it is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism"
As if it to prove the words they have been suppressed since he wrote them.

Its Franklin's Final Speach On The Constitution. What a guy, should be an inspiration for every bigga.

World War I was a fascist nightmare in the United States with Wilson and his cronies using it to attack all of their domestic enemies: African Americans, organized labor and immigrants. It was all documented by the media and no one cared. Helped us get where we are today as much as anything.

That's what happened in 2016, and it's a good beginning. More people are finding out that they've been lied to, and the liars are in full panic mode at this point.

First thing to do is find out what "fascism" is. Most people are clueless about that. One excellent example of a fascist organization is Antifa (what an ironic name). Their goal is to shut down opposing ideas by force, and that's what fascist governments do (again, look up the word in the fucking dictionary). If you're going to accuse someone of being fascist, you need to show examples of fascist behavior. Guess who I'm vaguely referring to here...

An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
The term Fascism was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy (1922–43), and the regimes of the Nazis in Germany and Franco in Spain were also Fascist. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach.

What Would Aaron Do?
I just learned about his story and it got me thinking about what he might do today?

I think he would still be fighting for net neutrality and advocating for internet privacy. He probably would have created many more awesome tools and projects that would have benefited us all. He had already achieved so much before the age of 26 so I can only imagine the great things he had planned...

Terrific question, he surely would be into crypto, which could use a voice like his instead of the fintech grubbers we have.

i think aaron could have stayed right on the cause he died for: human rights to medical information. it's a simple truth now: process medical data and save lives.
today aaron could unlock the data that has been retrieved from all of us by villains worse than than he ever faced.
he was also a talented programmer and could likely help build the ai that can process this data for the benefit of mankind. it's a situation that begs for the open source spirit aaron encapsulated.

Before bitcoin there were publicans, pubs and small businesses kept ledgers and remarkably the lack of banking had no effect on the Irish economy.

I am offering pre-brewed bitpint to a select group of craft patron/investors. To brew a new bitpint requires a confirmation we call a tasting.

No. Sips are 1/100ths of a bitpint and we expect a healthy number of sips will be required to send each bitpint.

Money as a system of control (video)


Andreas M. Antonopoulos is the most articulate and inspiring voice Bitcoin has. Despite his enormous technical expertise he sees the fundamental proposition of crytpo freedom as the lowest layer of the network.

He gives me hope that the revolution is unstoppable, that an exit from a corrupted society is not only possible but inevitable.

When I read the title I thought this was about capitalism and making people dependent upon money. Instead this is about the fact that government issues currency and can use that to control everything it touches basically, it's a shocking eye opener.

Yes it's not even the amount of money they have it's that they define it, that's implies ultimate ownership of all of it.

All of his lectures are great. I'd recommend the podcasts over the video, they look like a spycam.

The evil that is fiat money has only put a roof over my head, given me an education, bought my car, yearly holidays, food, clothes, medication, healthcare, books, games, TVs, drink, drugs, guitars, computers, phones, tablets and countless other goods and services that have brought pleasure, entertainment and increased my living standard over the years. Those who control fiat money are evil. The bastards. I feel like a twat now for been so gullible.

Yes of course and like a complete idiot I exchanged that labour for central bank issued fiat money that I thought was giving me freedom to satisfy my needs, wants and desires and have a wonderful fulfilling life. What a fool I have been.

I hear ya dog, like an even bigger idiot i learned about bitcoin years ago (from here as a matter of fact) but kept my money in fiat :(

At least with multiple currencies we still have the power to choose, isn't that what freedom is?

There's currently a viral post going around showing a photo in a pizza hut window saying 'credit cards only' and then some crap saying how people will lose control of their assets if we move away from money lol.

It doesn't matter if it's cards, bank deposits or even cash in hand. It's all under the control of a central government that's why it's called "fiat". It can be seized, de-valued, or bankrupted. Given enough time that's exactly what has happened to *every* fiat currency in history.

The Rise of Nazism Looks a Lot Like Now
The author looks at ordinary people's lives as Hitler shocked the country into submission as he fought the "lügenpresse" - lying media.

Yes this is an important thing to understand. People are interested in their own lives and a crazy ruler is just a form of entertainment in most people's lives. If they are effective with delivering quick economic results then they are good entertainers and are delivering some positives then fine - so why think more about this? It's demeaning to even take a fascist seriously so why bother doing so? In Germany we know why.


It is worrying that the far right parties are gaining to much support in Europe, and we should never take our eye off the ball and learn from history what can happen when you do...


ring really reminds me of the gestapo, they rolled almost exclusively through ordinary informants. people with fucked up biases are having their day.


why do they keep designing things to look like hal? doesnt anyone remember how the movie ends?

Germany became increasingly polarized with people espousing Marxism on one side and Law and Order on the other. This is exactly how it feels in America now.

Why the dystopian views are always referred to Nazism and not to Communism? They are basically the same shit, and Communism looks much more dangerous to me, because it "succeeded" for many more years, in many more countries, and for some reason has that glamorous look to so many idiots...

AND JUST LIKE IN NAZI GERMANY YOU HAVE PEOPLE BEING APOLOGISTS BECAUSE OF "COMMUNISM". AT LEAST IT WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING COMMUNISM BACK THEN AND NOT JUST WHATEVER IS NOT ON THE RIGHT

Watching the Plot Against America on Sky and it’s easy to see how Facism takes hold. Not dissimilar to Trump’s America.

Basically instead of the game studio owning every piece of property in the game space, the players do. Tools, skins, characters and any other asset can be bought and sold by individuals in a free market. A blockchain records all transactions and facilitates this trade.

Thank you that's very interesting, seems like we could eventually all move into gamespace and stay there :)

I think the news is more dystopian. There is no racism in gamespace, no wicked presidents or prime ministers, no opiate crisis, no social distancing, lethal diseases, massive unemployment.
In fact, let me just have the blue pill right now.

10,000 times more Americans Are Killed From Medical Errors Than Terrorism
A Johns Hopkins Study of preventable medical errors highlights just how stupid our society is in its priorities.

"Mrs President during the last administration over 2 million innocent Americans died from a government controlled system that profits the largest political patrons in the country what are you going to do about it?"
"Next Question"
"Some guy in a turban ..."
"Next Question"
"Some guy in a turban ..."

Thus the way to fix this is to make a fear based business out of the technical solution. So if it's say "AI diagnosis to complement your Doctor's opinion" this will catch on and save lives.

Main steam medicine has its place but isn’t holistic, it doesn’t usually look at all the causes and all the effects to be as effective and helpful as it could be.

More people kill themselves than people who are murdered. Tobacco, alcohol , obesity and prescription drugs are the biggest killers of our time. Just avoid those and you have a great chance of getting old and being healthy;)
