You & yours, enjoy Thanksgiving Christopher.

& if you buy this with a few of the extra bucks you make on the Black Friday sale, your wife won't care how far off pavement you move; https://kodiak.aero/kodiak-900/ , 800 miles is right next door!(grin).

A few extra bucks LOL.

Happy Thanksgiving!

> Humans are also biologically programmed with a negativity bias. Plopping on my armchair evo-psych hat here for a moment—I am pretty confident that this is designed to serve as a survival mechanism.

I forget exactly where I first heard it put this way, but it seemed funny and (probably) true: We are descendants from the early humans who heard the wind rustling the leaves and thought it was a lion, not from the early humans who heard a lion crunching the terrain and thought it was the wind.

🤔 🤯 😅

I am so thankful that you have embarked on the mission to design a distributed state. It looks far more feasible to me than when I started reading your substack.

I am very glad to hear that. I suppose anything this big and different cannot really be described in just a few sentences. I am glad to know that it’s starting to make sense.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Christopher!

I highly recommend watching the Lex Fridman interview with Javier Milei.

Someday when the history of the 21st century is written I speculate he will have a chapter.

I think you will enjoy the story of how Milei became an anarcho-capitalist.

Also the section on Freedom around 53:xx stands out.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This looks cool. Maybe I can listen on the long drive home. Though my family might prefer rocking out to music…
