If you don’t build your cognition, someone else will. https://highlighter.com/npub1p4ausrwk3ncf6gu64zcg3s5aj50fs2prr7p94jackx3m32hjyxxsy79mkq
The socialist urge to tax billionaires is almost, but not quite, inline with the libertarian stance. They want to tax them and perpetuate the coercive nature of the state, while the libertarian would prefer to end the corporate welfare state altogether. We both agree the billionaires have centralized capital on the backs of the plebs. Libertarians would just prefer to prevent the mechanism rather than adopt it.
I’m spending a few nights in an expensive city next weekend and I asked an old friend who lives there if I could spend a few nights at his place. I could do Airbnb or hotel but they’re completely overpriced. I’ve known this guy for close to 25 years. Yet I felt this guilt of burdening him by asking. On the flip side, I’ve let bitcoiners stay at my place and vice versa, without question or hesitation. Sometimes after knowing each other for days or even hours. (Note that it’s always a mutual friend connection that I trust, not just any random person). I think that says a lot about having a shared passion and vision for the world.
