Alan on 📺:
"The real point of life seems to be to watch an electronic reproduction of life…

You'd think that [people living] in a robust material culture would go home to a colossal banquet, or an orgy of lovemaking, or a riot of music & dancing.

But nothing of the kind…"

Mindless Culture by @jacco_kliesch. I'm a sucker for Alan Watts combined with cinematic shots on any day, but this was especially brilliant.

Thanks for the update @Bevan! Hope #buidl_bali is awesome.

Twitter - keep your eyes open for Peepeth.com Web2 login (i.e. no need for an extension). Yay for breaking down adoption barriers!

Worth it! Now supports extensions.

Yes, and all are super cheesy:

1. v2 will support 100+ chains & new power-user features to help FIRE away ticket answers
2. If we succeed in building + selling it then we go to BM 2019
3. If we fail in building + selling it I get FIRED (by myself, I'll have to find a new job)

And as an equally important reason, @abcoathup has got to maintain an even number of Twitter and Peepeth followers.

Thanks! Am making some great progress. Time to go back to my blissfully disconnected existence after a brief peepstorm :)

Would 💚it

Yes, good point! I wish more focus was put on psych. addiction instead of just pure addiction, as well.

I wonder if we'll also see a lot of research come out that discredits things like coffee having no downside, or the safety of sugar alternatives (even "natural" ones), too.

@Bevan - you are one gloriously generous man!

I was getting set up to to the @Trust video contest today, expecting to open up my Metamask widget to see a couple of cents - had to do a double take.

Much appreciated... hope you enjoy our new video ;)

Seriously. What do you guys think of that idea?

Open source @TxBatchCrypto, release Burning Man, then focus on making our company commercially successful as a hoster + maintainer.

Anyone know examples beside @wordpressdotcom where this has been successful?

🐧⤵️

This is well timed though… an accelerator reached out to us last wk, & our v2 (Burning Man) is 50% ready.

I may take a leaf from @shl & go open source, our company simply being a host.

“What a fool does at the end a wise man does at the beginning”…

Ok, I have to override my digital hiatus to commemorate this moment…

I now own more crypto than fiat. Even if I write off the @Cryptopia_NZ CEFS I have.

Decide for yourself if that's a good thing! Hahaha.

Oh yeah I should clarify: I consider #digitaldetox to be referring to social media vs. everything digital.

I'll use #infodiet next time.

I'm going on #digitaldetox until I finish @TxBatchCrypto v2 - aka 'Burning Man'.

I plan to use @ProductHunt #Makers in between then if anyone wants to keep me accountable.

Please use Keybase.io/JamesScaur, Telegram @JamesScaur, or james at txbatch dot com for contact.

I used @taxifyapp a lot in Georgia (much cheaper & significantly more available than @uber). They're doing some very cool stuff - upfront pricing, world cleanup day, and pay in cash… I like them.

Wouldn't be surprised if they were to offer crypto payment in the next 2 yrs either

Good post from Seth this week - the importance of being aware of opportunity costs.

Related: the importance of focus. Finding a singular mission to the exclusion of all else. Significantly reduces decision thinking time.

Yet also others. I had a pair of @futureme letters that were just talking about what I was grateful for. Also fascinating…

“Welcome to heaven. Population: everyone.”
–@aubreymarcus

“It is in thy power whenever thou shalt choose to retire into thyself”
–Marcus Aurelius

Just got a batch of letters from @futureme from 2017/2018 - basically all about being present and appreciating being alive. Thx guys.

I really recommend using @futureme, ESPECIALLY if you're in a negative state of mind. Doubt/grief/etc - it's fascinating how it melts away.

Suddenly I remember why I donate to @futureme
(And yes, they accept crypto via @CommerceCB!)

Well buddy, I hope I did too. #crypto @futureme
