challenges would be a great thing around here. i saw someone once ordered from every seller at the same time and ranked the delivery speed.

It's a great idea. Basically get paid in smoke to show off the best of what LB has to offer.

I think a tip jar of some kind would be in order too.

starting to sound interesting!

bigg up

where would be a safe place to host the vid privacy wise?

you could totally do this on youtube they have a california pov on cannabis and have for a long time

👊

with your marketing style you oughta make those vids

bittube.video

That seems very interesting. we'll be happy to provide a sample for this purpose <3

that sounds like a challenge

I second that👍

me too!

Someone did it a few years ago, I don’t think they’re active anymore but they would post a drop box link and it would be a video of them showing off the bud and talking about it, they’d even get the magnifying glass out.

I'm up for doing this once Im back off holiday but I feel like it should be a private video as mentioning LB on a public platform is probably not the wisest idea unless we want brigading

Decentralisation, rebirth of the concept of governments and banks (stores of value and loans of value), the internet of money, the exchange of favours peer to peer, the recognition of favours, global decentralised online democracy, micro businesses go parabolic, communities become self sufficient, govts lose control. Its happening.

The xeb.

This guy is the new leader^

True though. example..I cashed out £3k yesterday just for posting on a crypto sub on reddit for a few years, 3-4 posts a week.. erc20 rewards. I use brave browser which offers free anti tracking, https upgrades, ad free browsing (inc youtube) and it pays as you go with BAT token. It covers my premium netflix monthly subscription and costs nothing.

Neurolink by Elon Musk

relax, he resigned :)

I've read about this before bud but never decided to do it as I felt it would be too little. Can you explain more about it, i'd love to know with regards of how active you actually were. its a very clever idea. did you pay for brave or was it free? I'll go check it out thanks for sharing :D

How do you earn money just posting on Reddit?

from your mouth to jah's ears

We bio engineer ourselves into organic super computers, harness the planets electromagnetic field as a server and live as gods in virtual reality.

but it won't be 'us' providing this world, it'll be engineered and controlled by a select few people who will have total control over everyone

ai has been in control since the 19th century, we are working for the machines, not vice versa

And we don't need to leave the house to do it. Where do I sign?

Yes and still complain it's not like the good old days

You do realise the earth's magnetic field is weaker than a fridge magnet right xD

you have earned 1 toaken

Web 5. Decentralisation of personal data. Anonymity. Buyers Markets. People realise phones arent phones and just tracking chips that post spam in your face all day so we go back to mp3 players that make calls. We reverse the inversion and regain the ability to tell human from computer and truth from fiction again.

Humanity cannot progress or achieve the things we used to while big data has us pinned down with the technology and the mind games, constantly draining every penny we have. We're so busy trying to create money with our bare hands to pay off the debt they are creating that we can't get anywhere and never will.

People are working to take apart that system as we contemplate.

For now at least we have LB.

It seems more than ever the Old guard sees the next wave coming and is way more on top of it than previous leaders. this alone makes it interesting

Life itself?

Hopefully a revolution 🙏

Nuclear oblivion and radiation
Good night and sleep well

Surely it will be open and universal. Exactly in that order one at a time.

Cybernetic implants that turn you into a computer then we will go too far and try and turn the planet into a super computer and blow ourselves up again and it will be back to painting on cave walls.

I think there has always been feudalism in one form or another. There is always a class that ultimately owns everything because they can confiscate it, grant it a "title" or tax it. This premise always leads to same outcome it's just a matter of how greedy or insane the current landlord is.

Everything consolidates one way or another, thats why decentralization is both great and doomed.

probably starting from the neolithic era yes with the only exception of the 20th century, the only period of history where people got a bit of control of the power. Now is going to be lost for decades to come.

We need to look on the bright side, we are actually free serfs. We are free to seek a new master and we can seek redress in the crown courts, unfree serfs couldn't. However if we hadn't spent so much bit coin here we might actually be free with the value of it now.

sometimes a imagine a stack of the coins over time and shiver. so then i buy more weed.

Wise words, Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel says the same but takes 350 odd pages.

Thanks for sharing.

I see examples of this not just on the internet but in all industries. Walk down most high streets here in the UK and they now pretty much all look identical the same shops, coffee shops and chain restaurants with very few independent offerings. The cost of rent, business rates and all the red tape make it pretty much impossible nowadays for small independents to even start up.

Watching a show about fisherman on the BBC painted a picture of the EU quota system they must use and how the industry is dominated by money and huge boats and how these owners buy up small fishing boats and take the quotas these boats have to use on the mega trawlers.

The car industry seems totally monopolised now and we actually get very little choice - notice how the different makers share chassis and engines and the only real difference you get is the interior and badge. Everything else is pretty much controlled by rules and regulations.

It is obvious that these big players of industry are in cahoots with the those that set the rules and regulations as we saw with the emissions scandal with VW and EU collaboration.

Covid and lockdowns have exacerbated the situation as many small business owners left without any financial supports have gone to the wall while government loans to the huge corporations sit unused in their bank accounts.

Truly depressing times.

This is the model dreamed up by Gabrielle D'Nunzio, Mussolini, Franco and later tried by Stroessner, Pinochet and Thatcher. Always fails cos tho i am a committed capitalist even i realise extraction cannot work for ever as either you run out of victims (Franco, Pinochet) or the victims turn on you (Mussolini, Thatcher) At least Il Duce didn't cry when his turn came, Thatcher mewled and puked like a rat.

Fascinating. Bleak. truly people have been brainwashed by the media and now vote with their wallets. Far more regulation required at the top end, we cant stop the progress, and in many ways it serves us well. Democracy can still win the day, and we can unite for the good of all people. Education is the key, and a few good humans can change the world. It cant be allowed that rampant free market capitalism destroys us. Roll on technical singularity, according to Moores law would be around 2042 but i believe the theory is faultering (Moores law) so might take a bit longer. Technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. We have just leisure time so we study philosophy and all becone enlightened beings living in a tech utopia. Peace

Hope so but would we be the same beings, even the same species? I think Nietszche was mostly a clown but "homo, ecce homo" hits home

I call it digital feaudalism. And yes, we have never really exited the feudal system. It just morphs and transforms, keeping the 1% at the top, making almost all the rest their slaves.

Nice hook

Like the last feudal era they will ultimately fail IMO. Biden, bezos, bj and the two conos in NZ & Canada are only one mad bomber away from losing all the kleptocratic gains they have extracted. Putin and Xi poss a battalion or two away. Even if the above are stopped there are always despots trying their luck. The better angels of our nature (thanks Pinker, S) have always stayed in the fight so that the new boss is NOT always the same as the old boss (thanks Townshend, P)

i think the other flaws of communism would eventually come to the fore anyway. Would be very interesting to see what A.I does with state capitalism however.

What are the flaws of communism? Communism > capitalism surely 🤷🏼‍♀️

The original term ‘communism’ is surely people living together harmoniously in a commune? After all communes date back to the Stone Age where groups co existed.
It worked throughout history, invaders and tribal warfare repeatedly tried to derail what was an effective system of existence….

Marx & Engels write quite a fair bit about this "primitive" communism. Its part the Marxist/Communist argument against Capitalism.

Im sure we have all heard the phrase "oh but capitalism is human nature" but this couldn't be further from the truth. Capitalism has only existed 200 odd years for most of Human existence we have lived in more communistic communal ways.

when Darwin said survival of the fittest, this was not him saying the strongest wins, it is the species being able to adapt and the adaptive trait that shot Human kind straight to the top was cooperation not Capitalism.

surely there is no single element to human nature when it comes to economics. of course people share as well as trade, hoard and borrow to keep it all flowing.

capitalism and communism both arise naturally, it's not hard to see their equivalents among animal populations that fight over the same resources that they share in other circumstances.

more communistic communal ways 200 years ago - what do you mean because serfdom is what comes to mind.

I said capitalism has only 200 years not communes existed 200 years ago. But feudalism was still more communal than Capitalism. Peasants worked together on a plot of land that they paid for and were not dragged off to choking factories and confined to dense urban populations like the 1800s.

Before feudal rule however & things like the Enclosures in Europe, tribal community was the default for most human beings.

I recommend reading Marx and Engels early works or if you prefer a more modern take there are plenty of authors who have covered this section of history.

Until technology is liberated from the capitalist mode of production & the private patents that create AI, then no. A.i under a communist government or socialist state could be used for good and help toward automation. Look to china where sophisticated computing has been used in public spaces to better traffic flow, keep public transport running and deliver goods and services. But A.I alone wont create communism. For communism to be achieved Revolution must happen first and the dominant ruling classes replaced so the means of production for AI are utilised by workers and not elites.

Also nice to know LB has comrades ;) nothing to lose but our chains baby !

not quite sure a.i. is thinking "under"

It could.

Capital owners already exploit technology to reduce costs and lay off workers, ai is just another part of that.

AI and automation could be used to give people more time off, pay more for less work, improve work life balance etc, or it could be used in the way described above.

As with a lot of things, AI could be used to benefit people or it could be used to make billions of dollars, or anything in between.

Do you mean people living in or taking part/contributing to a commune?

If you like them then you should check out Caravan Palace because they are awesome too.

Thats a great track. Still in my playlist now tbh. And the video is quite clever in its own right.

love it thanks, great day starter

Competitive Eating….

Would it be classed as cheating though 🤔 🤣🤣

angling

Deffo 💯 used to fish as a nipper and finally got round to getting back into it a couple of years back. Even had a guy who dropped off at me local spot 🤣🐟🎣

Archery is fun. I once bought from a guy who had a bunch of targets set up in his garden and would let me shoot a few arrows when I picked up.

Snooker is great when stoned
Very relaxing

snowboarding gets the gold. well until they take it back

There's something magical about cycling while stoned.

True dat

Bjj and chess, and pool and shuttlecock and watching ufo's and tiddlywinks

Roller Skating with some good tunes in your ears.
Juggling is great once you have some flow.

I hit the gym stoned, take saunas stoned, go mountain hiking stoned, go cycling stoned, but there is zero competitive nature... As I'm lazy!

High jump

full lockdown when the plague arrives

The barbarians might have finished them off but the Romans did it to themselves. Extraordinary powers given to an Augustus wind up producing a Caligula.

I've always wondered about a time line where as Christians they see the immorality of slavery and we wind up with an industrial revolution a thousand years earlier :)

Not have used lead pipes for water.

Same as us, direct democracy would buy some time

I think they saved lots with Constantinople and Christianity. We still use a lot of their language today and even arts, law and engineering.

live by the mercenary die by the mercenary

By making a Catholic Church

cool spot can i ask where it is?

We are still in the Roman Empire, only the 2nd coming, the International one which spans across the continents. The Romans never lost, neither the ££££s.....
This is the future boys, complete fucked up western existence

We are living in it right now - Vatican rules this realm. Burn Babylon.

i think its kind of true blue collar, the foreman is portrayed as fat and fussy

FAIR principles of data access coupled with clinical audit wipe out fears of big pharma being able to fraud or misconduct clinical trials...

Absolutely, and this sure sounds like a blockchain application.

Yes it calls for both privacy and full public use.

Very interesting I was looking at Kuhns conversation about Karl poppers Falsification

Philosophy of science is a very interesting aspect

For example the debate of the infiniteness of the universe.

Here’s the video

https://youtu.be/bM8XBhEuyoo

Im reading a very interesting book atm

It’s by Dr Christian Perrone

Who was vice Chair of the WHO on immunisation

A hero throughout the covid pandemic

Crypto-Infections: Denial, Censorship and Suppression--The Truth about What Lies Behind Chronic Disease

Do you view this as a positive or a negative? Personally for me, any sort of governance that is not my own really rankles. It's a hard one though. Many many MANY people have been convinced that there's no way at all humans can govern themselves, all the while forgetting that those that supposedly govern them are also humans (though that is entirely debatable in some circles, my own included, lol)
Edit: I'd written "his man's" instead of humans, and being a female that rankled me too. Lmfao. Just kidding. But still, correct text is better than not.

Boys got a weapon in each hand here. Cryptography is in the right hand.

Same thing that makes anything a weapon-man(the killer ape)

The mighty certainly has the voltage to vape concentrates. I would usually suggest using degummed hemp fibre to absorb the oil Having not really looked at it, I'm not sure of the chamber makeup, but a quick search shows that you can get specially made liquid drip pads for the mighty that are manufactured to fit the chamber but not the dosing capsules. That will be your best bet.
