  • I Have Little to No Compassion?

    Compassion is for the weak? It is weakling mentality and a weakling morality?

    Compassion for the weak?

    So I think we might have been Jesus who taught us to have compassion and stuff. Yet, my curiosity; how much of this is out of strength versus out of weakness?

    So for example, if you understand Christianity, Lauren did Christianity, and we don’t have some sort of silly fear of heaven or hell or whatever, and we only believe in this life this reality, kind of like what Jesus said, the kingdom of God is already within you, like a child, Then if this were the case, how should we proceed in life?

    Morality?

    So we are often taught that we should pity the week, have compassion for them etc. Yet, I’m uncertain how much of this is good vs bad.

    For example, I think a modern day times, in America, and according to Christian morality, compassion for the week the sad unfortunate is considered a virtue. Yet I think the problem with compassion is that it is toxic.

    For example, imagine if you spend all day, looking at tragedy porn on Facebook Instagram TikTok YouTube podcast, Spotify, email Gmail, your text messages, your email newsletters, television blogs news etc. If this is the case, certainly it will affect you.

    For example, I’ll give you an example; I accidentally stumbled upon the Twitter of Elon Musk, in which he retreated the Joe Rogan interview with Donald Trump, and also retreated something with Donald Trump showing some video, a real tragedy, the story of a young mother whose daughter, a 12-year-old girl was essentially raped and murdered at a local playground, by two gang affiliated violent members who either illegally cross the border, or somehow was granted admission legally?

    Now I’m sure there’s more to the story, but regardless it is an extreme tragedy. Now that I have a young son, I don’t have a daughter, at least not yet, but still, thinking about the tragedy of the mother, the kid the whole situation… I actually put me in a really Sad and kind of troubled mood the last day day and a half, I think it even affected my sleep? Just this one video. And this one heart wrenching video that the mom said.

    Now imagine that the average American, watches and consume media like this thoroughly like 5000 times a day. Certainly is going to mess up their minds.

    So the first thing we have to do is we have to stop this fear and tragedy porn. I don’t think there’s any virtuous thing to it; it doesn’t really help anybody. Sure it might affect your voting behavior, but once you have your voting done, then what?

    What does it mean to change the world?

    So I think the big thing is start with yourself, your family. Your wife, your kids, your mom, your sister, your siblings, and your friends. 

    I think the hard thing is everyone’s trying to change the world from too much of a macro economic, a world perspective. But this is not real, nor is it practical;

    First, what is “the world”? It isn’t really anything, it is not tangible.

    I think we end up falling victim to this virtuous cycle of misery; we hear miserable news around the world, which attracts more clicks views retweets, which is good for Google Google ad revenue, and I guess now Twitter/X.

    The world is a tricky and messy place, and also a very very evil and bad place. I was actually thinking about it, this really really tragic 12 year-old girl getting killed murdered and raped by two super evil people, who I think should deserve the death sentence at least. But still, How much of this happens all around the world, every single day, to all 8 billion people on the planet? In Thailand, Cambodia Laos, Vietnam, Asia Southeast Asia, China, the areas in which mainland China has annexed and committed countless genocides, Israeli genocide, etc. All the poor Lebanese who either got killed maimed or displaced. Same with the people in Gaza or the innocent Palestinians.

    Anyways, all around the planet, so let us assume that there are 8 billion people on the planet. Probabilistically, there are probably at least dozens, if not hundreds, if not thousands, if not tens of thousands, if not millions of evils and injustices committed every single day, whether that be rape and death of 12-year-old girls, children etc.

    But I suppose my question is, besides knowledge, what should one do about it? Like are you going to send Lee quit your job, volunteer for the peace corps, and then dedicate your life to helping poor families and children and victims? I almost feel like it might be better to volunteer for the local YMCA, the local boys and girls club, become a big brother or sister, or even help out at your local Boy Scout troop, even coach sports etc. I know for myself personally speaking, what kind of kept me off the streets, kept me from joining gangs, doing gang activity, I actually even remember an incident in middle school in which one of the guys I knew,  one of my adjacent friends, told me how some other guy was trying to punk on him, and he called up all the guys in the area this might have been maybe the seventh or eighth grade, I think we are like 12 or 13 years old, and the idea was to just grab the biggest kitchen knife you had, to wrap it with a towel, hide it in your backpack, and use it if shit hit the fan with the other rival gang.

    Anyways, Once again, really really ugly stuff. 

    Gangs

    Once again, gangs, gang in initiations, especially in Los Angeles, East Los Angeles I hear is really really horrible gruesome and terrible.

    But once again, what can you actually do what should you do, what is superficial what is real?

  • iPhone as a Weapon?

    Next time someone fucking with you, just take out your iPhone and start recording them being an asshole — upside ,,, you can also use it as proof if you want to show it to your local cops, or local precinct officers. Good when people being assholes or breaking the law etc. And if they get angry at you (while in fact, they’re the assholes in the wrong), the iPhone almost becomes like some sort of form of self defense weapon — document them trying to threaten you, you can even upload it to YouTube?

    For example, even recording the license plate of someone bad, evil or dangerous on the road?

    What if they get aggressive?

    But what if they start to get aggressive and threaten you with physical or gun violence or something?

    Obviously be safe if you’re in the hood, play it street smart, don’t be a dummy boy. But if the person looks like a sane good to do person, just do it! In theory if they attack you, you can actually sue them for assault, call the cops, and *YOU* get paid for them attacking you! Haha kind of funny.

    Twitter video

    The recent interview between Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump took place on X (formerly Twitter) and quickly gained significant viewership. The conversation was streamed via X Spaces, with Musk addressing various topics with Trump, including politics and media issues. Despite some initial technical difficulties, the interview reportedly attracted millions of views, although actual engagement metrics like comments, likes, and reshares suggest lower real-time engagement compared to the raw view count. This discrepancy highlights how X counts views, as it includes all instances where a post appears on users’ feeds, even briefly, regardless of active engagement.

    The interview was accessible live on X and remains available on Trump’s official account there for viewing. If you’re interested in watching the interview, you can visit Trump’s or Musk’s accounts on X to find the recording. For more details on the interview and engagement figures, check sources like Pew Research Center and TheWrap.

  • Search Emory University and Bitcoin

    Emory University has recently made a notable move by investing approximately $15.8 million from its endowment into a Bitcoin-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF), specifically the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust. This decision places Emory as the first American college to publicly disclose such an investment in a spot Bitcoin ETF, highlighting the growing acceptance of cryptocurrency within institutional finance. The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, approved by the SEC in early 2024, provides a lower-cost entry point to Bitcoin for institutions, and Emory’s participation underscores the mainstreaming of digital assets in higher education endowments.

    This investment signifies an innovative shift for Emory, whose endowment, exceeding $10 billion, traditionally supports university expenses like scholarships and research. By diversifying into Bitcoin ETFs, Emory is responding to trends where large institutions increasingly integrate digital assets into portfolios to hedge against inflation and seek alternative growth opportunities. This ETF choice aligns with recent regulatory changes and reflects growing confidence in crypto assets’ viability within institutional frameworks, even as regulatory bodies urge caution due to inherent volatility and risks in cryptocurrency markets.

    Emory’s strategic move may prompt other universities to explore similar investments, contributing to the momentum behind Bitcoin ETFs in financial markets and potentially setting new standards in endowment management for educational institutions nationwide.

    Kids have no idea what email is

    I know of no child who is interested in answering emails for a living— in fact, you only start to become indoctrinated to email maybe once you enter college? Like you need it because you’re communicating with your professors or they’re trying to communicate with you? Certainly you don’t need email in high school, and assuming that you actually end up never going to college, because it is kind of a scam, then would you ever really need to ever use email? I think the only reason you might ever get an email is because of Gmail… And maybe Chromebook or something. But besides this, kids don’t need a “digital identity”— maybe all they need is a bitcoin wallet.

    I think also… The only reason why people ever use email is because of “opportunities“, which ultimately means some sort of money making scheme. But, if you’re already independently wealthy, you got bitcoin and it’s gonna go up forever, then what?

    Quit email, buy bitcoin!

  • Why I love Elon Musk

    I think I also a big one is with Elon, he is so disruptive in terms of economics, and also, things to be desired?

    Elon Musk rewrites the playbook, the rulebook, the cool factor thing— no no no, it is not desired nor quote to have a Lamborghini!

    For example, him reposting the video of a cybertruck smoking a Lamborghini Aventador, which is insanely great and disruptive because a cyber truck, even a cyber beast at $100,000, might be like a fifth the price of a Lamborghini!

    To purchase something for only $100,000, which is actually superior to something that is worth 250,000 or even $500,000?

    Then another funny one, saying that a cybertruck could even smoke the Lamborghini, even while towing a Porsche 911!

    We want to root for America?

    We Americans, we are the ultimate Cowboys, the rebels, the insurgency, the world breakers and also the rule rewriters? If we think of Steve Jobs like the original silicon Valley cowboy (Mr. brainwash exhibition painting)— big deal!

    Bitcoin could have only been invented or innovated or pioneered or created or even dreamed of in America?

    Bitcoin is wholly American?

    My personal theory on who satoshi is— he might be some sort of Caucasian American, who was really into Japanese stuff? Maybe spent some time living abroad in Europe? Considering that he has a GMX email, which I usually typically associate with Germans, maybe even the Swiss,… Maybe he is European?… His English is too good to be Japanese, and his anti-central banks, Kind of either an American or European sentiment.

    Irregardless, Satoshi is like the new financial monetary digital cowboy. Very very strong in the spirit of America!
