Getting triggered would be how some reacted to The Last Temptation of Christ by Martin Scorsese. I was the opposite. I was untriggered by this Matrix. I'm uninterested because I predicted (correctly it seems) that this Matrix was going

It ebbs and flows with what is happening. Escapist fantasies are popular when times are hard. I feel times are hard now. Philidelphia and Leaving Las Vegas are two of my favorite movies, but I saw them when times were pretty good. However,

I've read those. It's kind of beautiful the way they paint the glorious future where every man and woman is in control of their own destiny. I remember similar promises in the dot com bubble. By the way, both Andreeson and I made

I think I might have an edge because I'm part of the part of the technocracy, although not a major part. I'm a programmer who could write smart contracts and such. I'd have to look into it further to see if I'm right. Pe

I use the BitTorrent DHT all the time but I don't expect it to be consistent, not even eventually. With money you need something that is 100% accurate 100% of the time. Miners compete to calculate the one true blockchain. That smacks o
