You are simultaneously both an ignorant and spiritual creature.
Climbing your way out of the ditch of ignorance, dug for you by standardized parents and schools, you can be sure you’ve reached ground level upon discovering the symbiotic relationship between cannabis plants and their “artificial” selectors, humans.
Just as plants grow in the light of day, ignorance lurks in the murky subterranean darkness. Plants and consciousness grow in this light, ignorance wilts in it. “Seeing the light” can be defined as becoming less ignorant.
Welcome to surface level ignorance! Where the light shines on our numbers, too few, and our pitfalls, too many.
Count bitcoin will be interviewing anyone with an interview topic they want to talk about, as part of a Bill Maher style show. He aims to reveal the common and uncommon (wo)man in more depth than the staged and scripted tv and movies which reveal little about people who live in reality.
Please click “interviews” and submit what you want to talk about, and The Count will schedule a time for you to be interviewed for the show segment titled : “Talk about with the count”.
Count bitcoin is going to challenge his guests to get to a deeper, and hopefully funnier place in the conversation, so that others can enjoy the experience as much if not more so than the stuff on tv.
The Count will assemble questions to ask based on the person and the subject they wish to talk about, but censorship will not be a part of the show.
The Count looks forward to meeting you. Interviews will be held on vokle. Gracias.
A child is taught to play its role based on the whims of the puppeteer. If the child understands that it is no role-playing puppet, the strings are cut.
The ties that bind are not blood, family, or respect, but knotted roles tied into the minds of children, by parents that never want to face them as equals. Most authorities will not risk their carefully constructed aura of infallibility and omniscience for equality… not for a puppet.
Cut the strings and Geppetto is revealed as his puppet’s equal.
A thought experiment:
Now that people have shown they are willing to pay for something that is free and voluntary, latest example being comedian Louis C.K. free comedy special making $10 million in a few weeks, the proposition of voluntary taxes must be considered. (the lottery is a depraved version of this concept)
DISCLAIMER: The one caveat de axiom I would like to introduce to this thought experiment would be the mandatory use of that motivating tool called shame (the only effective tool against misers and reptiles) and by extension, transparency. By transparency, I mean that those who are miserly but wish to use all of the public goods must be known to all, i.e. if you are not paying taxes, a simple internet search would reveal this, along with the agencies you have paid taxes towards. Like tipping your waiter, but doing so knowing that everyone can check to see how much you tipped.
Although I’m sure the details would get complex, I can think of three main advantages of a voluntary tax system and the elimination of all compulsory taxes like sales tax, income tax, etc.
1: Poor people would be left alone, allowing them to keep the pittance they earn.
2: Government institutions would need to compete with one another to attract the people’s money, so that they can provide the service they have created more effectively and widely.
3: Money and innovators would come pouring into the United States, seeking refuge from what are seen as tyrannical tax systems by most people who pay them around the world. Very few people polled believe taxes are fair as currently enforced.
To counter the inevitable rich people wont pay shit argument, I say that’s already true. The effective tax rate of people earning $1 billion or more for the past 7 years has been zero, or 0%. They achieve this trickery through purchasing expensive and complicated securities, or tax cheating devices, which have been created for the obvious purpose of avoiding taxes while being chauffeured in range rovers on publicly funded roads.
Nassim Taleb advocates the idea that a robust government protect its people from extremes, so homelessness and starvation would have to be addressed, along with the other extreme of corporations which keep profits and dump losses onto the backs of poor people (the so called public debt).
Pro ball players are like pro anythings, they know tricks on how to equalize a disadvantage. So if you’re short in a tall mans game, you learn how to rub the elbow of a shooter just enough for the refs to miss it.
As a pro coach with less talent, you learn that it can only help your cause to publicly accuse refs of cheating in favor of the more talented team, because refs are humans performing on camera, and it could only help since talented teams are better at everything, not just drawing fouls.
This combination of talent having an off night and pressured refs missing a short player’s disguised foul on a game tying shot is the formula that will allow an upset in this or any series.
Will it happen three more times? That’s Fortuna’s domain.
Judgement must be withheld because innocence is the only possible state of existence for anything in the universe. -C. Bitcoin
