Robert - you keep sending me down rabbit holes, on almost every subject now. I have to spend 3 days just to digest one little show. What are you doing to us? haha, thanks for the brilliant work and effort. It makes a difference. - cheers
Beyond the fact that Jason is a 1-man-phenomenon who will change the course of humanity and I can't get enough of right now, how beautiful is the love between these two men. It's palpable. Thank you for bringing us these interviews Robert and thank you for the love, caring and deep curiosity that you bring to each one
Love all the aspects of what money is as a kid growing up in the ghetto it's amazing how money is a perception of a thing that has value. As a kid it was always about just living live with no concept of money, maybe because being poor you just subconsciously know that you dont have any, you probably wont get any, so everyday is just about survival. As I grew older and learned how to escape that mentally and eventually that environment, I began to search for knowledge on this topic. After getting some money I found myself wondering how to keep more and get more. Now I find myself at a cross roads and I cant thank you enough for bringing this and all your content to the masses, free and not behind a pay wall! Nothing is worse than the feeling of knowing that you have to pay to find out these things but if you dont have the money to pay you cant learn it. So how do I escape? Invaluable content!
I can already tell that this is going to be one of my favorite series. Cannot wait for the rest of the episodes. Don’t leave us hanging Robert! Amazing stuff as always
Robert this series is going to be fire!!!! Jason really knows how to set the stage in this conversation and is able to explain these complex truths about reality with facts that no on can dispute. I am going watching part 2 now and can't wait to see where this conversation is going next, but I can kinda guess, BTC....
An analogy and gratitude. Saylor’s potential energy released to the BTC public is like the chemical combustion of an atom of Carbon. It beckoned me. Lowery’s equivalent PE is that of the nuclear PE of an atom of U235. 60 million times greater than that of an atom of Carbon. Could Saylor code something like hashcash? He’s a brilliant guy, but he’s an engineer turned businessman educated at a time when the physical was emphasized more than the virtual. I doubt that he’d be able to code hashcash without a LOT of extra time on his hands. Lowery was educated at a time when digital began to overtake physical in engineering education. But he can bridge the two from an energy perspective in detail as a result. So he understands both the macro- and micro- of what makes BTC so powerful. Thanks Michael Saylor for getting me to this point. With you, I made the “jump” from zero to Carbon. Thanks Jason Lowery for connecting the macro- with the micro- explanation. I trust you can take me from Carbon to U235… 60 million times more powerful per atom. And thanks again, Robert, for bringing people like Jason, Michael and Adam Back to your channel. Thermodynamics coupled with evolutionary pressure coupled with individual human action and social interaction is a wonderful mixture. I couldn’t have found the mix of all this on my own.
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING. I Wish I watched this a year ago! Robert you must have great satisfaction and gratitude in knowing your ideas developed Jasons, and now Jason’s are developing yours! Do you know what is also a virus? An Idea. Bravo guys, i will be rewatching this and looking forward to the next instalment. Keep up the great work.
I very much enjoy the fact that Jason is a visionary thinker applying synthesis to such broad concepts about the world but also has an entire Pinterest board dedicated to his favourite pet. Mine is dedicated to British shorthair cats…
Ohhhhh yeaaaahhhh. I've been eagerly anticipating this. Reminds me of the feeling when you used to care about TV and waiting for the latest episode of Lost to drop.
The discussion about the strangler pattern and colonization attack immediately followed by an ad for a company promoting the colonization of minds by bitcoin was just such a perfect segue.
Robert: EPIC show idea: Get Musk and Lowery into the same room to discuss the anti-entropic nature of self organizating systems aka life in relation to the entropic tendencies of organized systems to decay into chaos. Mind blowing stuff!!!!
Thank you!!! I was disappointed when the Saylor series came to its end. When this one with Jason ended, it felt abrupt, so I know there will be more to come that I’m looking forward to!
A virus is a message contained in an envelope. With the envelope it is introduced to a living cell, it enters the cytoplasm and the message opens up. Then the message, which is basically a mass production order, causes the cell to get to work and start building proteins. These proteins are copies of the original virus. So basically a virus is an order to a cell to copy the same message and put it into an envelope until the cell destroys itself due to the overcrowding inside. That's why it is called nonliving.It is a DNA or RNA sequence, not big enough to create life, but enough to give a production order to an already living system.
Following on my own comment, it’s amazing this conversation was lucid and sober. Feel like I’ve had these discussions with my boys, but at the end of a long long night
Which begs the question, is this even relatable to a vast majority of people? I would like to see this channel and content explode (just found about it today) but the media (and my own eyes) also likes to portray the average person incredibly incapable of understanding this content (all the nonsense debt, working and eating behaviors, voting tactics, etc kinda confirms it). But I would like to be proven wrong, and the way he explains all the physics of work, energy, projection of power, evolution/biology, with basic secondary school concepts makes it 1000x more relatable and digestible.
The best video I have seen in a long time, amazing! Just 1 thing to add to Jason's summary of extinction of the mamut, sabre tiger etc 10k years ago. This might not be the case of overhunting, there are recent findings that dispute this: See The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. Just to make sure no wrong facts are mixed into this masterpiece of a video!
Just seeing if you’d add anything. To Chat GPTs summary below on the Hypothesis: The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis proposes that a comet or asteroid impact may have caused a rapid cooling of the Earth's climate around 12,800 years ago, leading to a brief return to glacial conditions during the otherwise-warming period known as the Holocene. This period is known as the Younger Dryas. According to the hypothesis, the impact would have caused widespread environmental devastation, including wildfires, dust storms, and a sudden influx of freshwater into the North Atlantic Ocean. These events would have disrupted the climate system, causing a rapid cooling and the development of glaciers in North America and Europe. While there is some evidence to support the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, such as the discovery of nanodiamonds and other impact-related materials in sediment layers dating to the time of the Younger Dryas, there is also debate and skepticism among scientists. Some argue that the evidence is not conclusive or that other factors, such as volcanic eruptions, may have played a greater role in the climate changes of the time. Overall, the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis remains a topic of active research and discussion among scientists studying Earth's past climate and environmental history.
Another thing with 'fire' - it allowed humans to become early converters of matter/energy. The control of fire allows for man to start converting materials, mixing materials- using heat from the fire which leads to later usage in bronze/iron forge process. Fire was a leverage tool for the generation of heat/directed energy for the intent to convert one form of matter/energy into another.
A nit… but it’s an important nit… At 1:12, “Power = joules per second” That’s a correct statement of one form of the dimensional unit of Power. The dialogue continues in the subject of power projection. I get the analogy, but in the strict thermodynamics behavior of matter, it is not Power that is transferred, it’s energy that is transferred. The first two laws of thermodynamics have no “time” component, yet both are fundamental physical laws. The second law, dS >= dQ / T in a closed system through an adiabatic process. There is no reference to “time” per se. So, thermal energy flows as heat (dQ) transfer from a hotter Temperature to a colder temperature yielding entropy (dS) and Work in the process. It is entropy in which the argument of time can be raised. Entropy in our universe acts as the directional pointer of all thermodynamic processes. At its end, the universe will be completely chaotic - no life, no ability to create energy from anything. Entropy forces the direction of events to this conclusion. It cannot be reversed. And, so, we as humans call that the passage of time - from one event to another, when it’s actually the passage of the universe from its beginning to its end. Time is a useful human contrivance. Upon inspection, at the quantum level, event sequence, cause and effect, becomes counter-intuitive to… everyone. There is no human model to reconcile cause and effect observations at quantum dimensions with that of classical or even relativistic models. That said, I get where the Power Projection thesis comes from. The only flags at the Pentagon who might get the distinctions above are a small slice of the “nukes”. But mention “Power” in the full assembly of flags and each flag’s brain says to itself, “HELL YEAH. I know what POWER” means! Let’s go hunting!” There are things all around us that contain energy that are quiescent - their energy does not change over time. That energy is as real as kinetic or thermal energy. A stick contains Potential energy - chemical, gravity, and if there are a few atoms of U235 in the stick - nuclear, and if a few atoms of iron - magnetic. A BTC in super-cold storage has a tiny bit of electrical potential energy and very small amount of thermal potential energy. Jason - add the idea of potential energy in your discussion. I think it’s relevant and important.
34:45. You just flip a random bit in your DNA and end up growing teeth or an eye??? ...no. The encoding to create complex coordinated systems is itself complex and coordinated, and you don't get there by flipping a random bit. You get there by having all of the required encoding show up to do it, and all at the same time; it's not a one bit at a time process. There is no means to preserve half formed systems. Systems function or fail as a unit, and yet they require coordinated complexity to function at all. What good is an eye (which itself is extremely complex) without an optical nerve? What good is a heart without a cardiovascular system? You can't sneak up on interdependent mutual necessity.
After a year in this market I’m starting to look forward to these price corrections. More time earn cash from work and buy bitcoin to lower my cost basis.
Does bro include defensove power as part of power projection? Its eems like defensive power is gonna be far more i.portant than offensive power in the near future. Bitcoin itself is defensive in nature
"I love Wiener Dogs. I will be the first to admit they're an abonimation of nature. Created by humans, because we're gangster as hell." 1:09:43 What a statement :D Epic discussion my dudes!
Great discussion. Physics first principle is great for solving engineering problems but does it applies to the market? Which seems more human psychology heavy?
Engineering is creating efficiency. Maybe you could say market is people looking for efficiency? Like, which candy will be more efficient at giving me dopamine? Which stock will be more efficient at giving me more wealth?
Spits used for the immolation of the sacrifice used to be traded. I believe this was a near universal symbol and created that bond over belief mentioned in this video. Sharpened sticks used to cook animals has quite a bit more meaning than that simple description to premodern man. Obeloi
Biology major and practicing analytical chemist here: much like the criteria for a functional currency has defined utility, the criteria for the definition of biological life has been attempted to be established, and the question of whether a virus is alive or not is an ongoing, hotly contested debate that challenges that definition. You two bit off a mouthful by stumbling upon that question.
try random things and see what succeeds sounds so certain--and yet, how exactly does the process begin without initial information? You not only need to "learn" how to harness energy, but you need to "know" how to reproduce it--something seems missing to me.
Can this conversation (and the ones in the rest of the Lowery series) be converted to a mass-market book? I will pay $100 for it! This is like The Selfish Gene but a few levels deeper.
Here's the kicker, though. YOU are money. The answer to the question that is the name of this podcast, "what is money"... it's you! More broadly stated, life itself is money. That inexplicable force that somehow combats the constant entropic state of the entire observable universe. Yeah, that thing, in and of itself is money. The most direct real world representation of life is blood. I'm sorry, but we aren't ever going to transcend the laws of nature to the extent that Bitcoin can replace those laws. On the contrary, Bitcoin's success demonstrates the existence of those laws. Life is money, and the life is in the blood. It seems to me that Jason comes so close to this understanding, but dances precariously around it, never to land on it. I've listened to several of the interviews he's taken part in. I think he's brilliant, but I could never put my finger on where and why we disagree, when I follow and appreciate almost everything he's saying, but disagree with his conclusions. I think I get it now. There's a fundamental misunderstanding of the answer to the question "what is money" that is shared by almost all of us. Money isn't "energy," despite the fact that life is convertible with energy, as the consensus answer would seem to be. Think life is gold and energy is the US dollar under the Bretton Woods system. The other issue I have is that Jason's initial assumption for data collection is to oversimplify human behavior in order to create the constants that have never existed in the world of finance, and still don't. Bitcoin itself is immutable, but human behavior is no more predictable thanks to it's introduction... if anything, the opposite could be true. Humans may be animals, but they don't act like animals. There is far too complex of a hierarchical structure within humanity to simplify it to that. I also believe that greed is uniquely human. We hunt for sport.
1) can you give me any other example or any example at all really of interspecies evolution? 2) fire argument why would we possibly have lost our tails? Can you make ANY argument for a tail being more valuable to expend than useful to keep?
Now this is what I want to hear. There is a very self-cognizant, vehemently cohesive group of people who would be destroyed by the success of bitcoin. Some of them are guests of this show.
Yeah Jason is cleaver, Im a biologist and i would say the same about non-living virus vs living organism, it is the ability to reproduce. Virus is just set of molecules that dont have all the machinery necessary to reproduce itself within itself.
Jason do you ever think of Craig Wright who created bitcoin and research him or interview him like many others have? Or read his 1200 white papers or look at his thousands of nChain patents. He's an advanced mathematician .
Great discussion but I feel like there are gaps that could be filled. For one, unlike other animals, in a homo sapiens society (as well as chimps etc) the beta males have won. This ties in nicely with power projection and the additive effect of power. However, a bigger oversight here is not the concept of bitcoin but the implementation of it. While conceptually we all agree that a bitcoin-like system could launch us into the next step of prosperity / rational thought / organization etc, the current system as it exists will never be able to do so. Would love to talk to you more about this Robert as this seems to be a significant blind spot of most crypto enthusiasts.
I'd love to hear both your thoughts on some sort of digital peaceful protest platform involving a proof of work concensus. Seems like an interesting take on democracy.
Virus is considered to be obligatory parasite, which can’t replicate without the host. Given that usually living organism has to be able to replicate, virus are seen as the organism which are at the border of life and matter. Bacteria can replicate, and it’s a living organism.
Very interesting discussion but i would disagree on one point, in that Jason Lowery said physics or maybe more specifically first principles of physics as we know them today dont care about feelings or morals. This isnt entirely true as we know the observers interaction does hold some type of importance to the reality of the physical world. We still dont know if our true reality is subjective to the observer or not.
Proof of Work: Work = Force * Distance but; Force = Mass * Acceleration and; Energy = Mass * Speed of Light (c) squared so; Mass = E/C^2 thus; Force = E/C^2 * Acceleration therefore; Work = E/C^2 * Acceleration * Distance Bitcoin Proof of Work is Energy Accelerated at the Speed of Light Across Distance (the World)
Opposable thumbs really started to become a thing with felines, and branched outwards into monkeys and then apes and then hominids. Cats use thumbs and claws to grasp their prey and climb trees. Oh, they often deprecate the importance of the 5th appendage on a cat's front paws but they were the first pioneers of the concept of "grasping" as a power projection strategy, and it really is the root of the development of money, because you hold money in savings.
Robert - you keep sending me down rabbit holes, on almost every subject now. I have to spend 3 days just to digest one little show. What are you doing to us? haha, thanks for the brilliant work and effort. It makes a difference. - cheers
Haha so true. Because of Breedlove, I no longer listen to music and I'm always taking notes. Make it stop LOL
Robert’s content is a knowledge projecting strategy into the collective conscious.
I LOVE that Jason is blowing up. Man's so sharp and such a great communicator.
and possibly a war monger LOL

Beyond the fact that Jason is a 1-man-phenomenon who will change the course of humanity and I can't get enough of right now, how beautiful is the love between these two men. It's palpable.
Thank you for bringing us these interviews Robert and thank you for the love, caring and deep curiosity that you bring to each one
I gave you a thumbs up for using the word 'palpable'.
@@pkgman8822 - here for your linguistic entertainment ;)
i think they made love later
Breedlove got that warm feeling inside knowing someone really appreciated his work. Only a actual listener or reader would be able to quote like that

As a kid it was always about just living live with no concept of money, maybe because being poor you just subconsciously know that you dont have any, you probably wont get any, so everyday is just about survival.

I am going watching part 2 now and can't wait to see where this conversation is going next, but I can kinda guess, BTC....
New episode up now! :D
An analogy and gratitude.
Saylor’s potential energy released to the BTC public is like the chemical combustion of an atom of Carbon. It beckoned me.
Lowery’s equivalent PE is that of the nuclear PE of an atom of U235. 60 million times greater than that of an atom of Carbon.
Could Saylor code something like hashcash? He’s a brilliant guy, but he’s an engineer turned businessman educated at a time when the physical was emphasized more than the virtual. I doubt that he’d be able to code hashcash without a LOT of extra time on his hands. Lowery was educated at a time when digital began to overtake physical in engineering education. But he can bridge the two from an energy perspective in detail as a result. So he understands both the macro- and micro- of what makes BTC so powerful.
Thanks Michael Saylor for getting me to this point. With you, I made the “jump” from zero to Carbon. Thanks Jason Lowery for connecting the macro- with the micro- explanation. I trust you can take me from Carbon to U235… 60 million times more powerful per atom.
And thanks again, Robert, for bringing people like Jason, Michael and Adam Back to your channel. Thermodynamics coupled with evolutionary pressure coupled with individual human action and social interaction is a wonderful mixture. I couldn’t have found the mix of all this on my own.

Gotta love the great camaraderie between the two..! it's contagious. Great, insights, valuable content, super engaging. Thanks a lot!
Lowery is way up there with the smartest people our species has to offer.
Amazing conversation to chew on and digest wow what a trip. Literally made my day.
Possibly the best episode yet
🙏
I very much enjoy the fact that Jason is a visionary thinker applying synthesis to such broad concepts about the world but also has an entire Pinterest board dedicated to his favourite pet. Mine is dedicated to British shorthair cats…
Just going over the transcript from this will keep me busy for 2 weeks. Crash course in physics & philosophy.
Ohhhhh yeaaaahhhh. I've been eagerly anticipating this. Reminds me of the feeling when you used to care about TV and waiting for the latest episode of Lost to drop.
The discussion about the strangler pattern and colonization attack immediately followed by an ad for a company promoting the colonization of minds by bitcoin was just such a perfect segue.
Robert: EPIC show idea: Get Musk and Lowery into the same room to discuss the anti-entropic nature of self organizating systems aka life in relation to the entropic tendencies of organized systems to decay into chaos. Mind blowing stuff!!!!
Thank You Robert for all your work. It's Awesome.
Fascinating discussion. Thank you Robert and Jason
Thank you!!! I was disappointed when the Saylor series came to its end.
When this one with Jason ended, it felt abrupt, so I know there will be more to come that I’m looking forward to!
This is a great series, the mapping evolution of dominant forces that often win without violence but persistence.
The hardest I've ever thought in my life was during the hour and a half watching that episode
Fascinating conversation. Appreciate it!
ima need about 30 of these episodes bro
Another great series from Breedlove. He is a machine!
If you want to skip and listen to the actual point of this interview start at 1:15:00
Great, great episode. Maybe my favorite so far. This is the one I will send the truly curious folks to. Cheers!

I learned quite a bit from our friend Jason. Once again, excellent job Breedlove.
Keep up the fantastic work.💯
🙏
The depths of this conversation, and with nearly all Breedlove conversations, are galaxies beyond 99% of all thought leaders’ contemplations
Following on my own comment, it’s amazing this conversation was lucid and sober. Feel like I’ve had these discussions with my boys, but at the end of a long long night
IKR? I work with 'thought leaders' in business all the time. They couldn't find an original thought between them.
Which begs the question, is this even relatable to a vast majority of people?
I would like to see this channel and content explode (just found about it today) but the media (and my own eyes) also likes to portray the average person incredibly incapable of understanding this content (all the nonsense debt, working and eating behaviors, voting tactics, etc kinda confirms it).
But I would like to be proven wrong, and the way he explains all the physics of work, energy, projection of power, evolution/biology, with basic secondary school concepts makes it 1000x more relatable and digestible.
Been looking forward to this...awesome!

The best video I have seen in a long time, amazing!
Just 1 thing to add to Jason's summary of extinction of the mamut, sabre tiger etc 10k years ago. This might not be the case of overhunting, there are recent findings that dispute this: See The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. Just to make sure no wrong facts are mixed into this masterpiece of a video!

#Bitcoin to the F*kin 🌕 baby 💪🏼 been waiting to listen to this dude Jason, heard a lot of great things about him
Mind boggling, Thank you
1:20:00 Nobody can change the rules of physics so we don't fight over them. Move that over to Bitcoin and good god this has major implications.
There might then be a mathematically sound method of measuring the speed/volume/extent of economic exchange.
Another thing with 'fire' - it allowed humans to become early converters of matter/energy.

Very interesting and enlightening
Glad you think so!
After a year in this market I’m starting to look forward to these price corrections. More time earn cash from work and buy bitcoin to lower my cost basis.
this series could be turned into a book, the same for the Saylor's
Excellent content. Thanks
Much appreciated! 🙏
I feel better after watching this....thanks?
How can i get in touch with him?
.
His strategy has been helping a lot of traders/newbies out there, with his program i was able to recover my losses from the crash so swiftly.
Saw Lucas first time at a conference in CA mid 2019, His teachings towards financial freedom is highly commendable.
Gotta love First principal’s from young smart people
Does bro include defensove power as part of power projection? Its eems like defensive power is gonna be far more i.portant than offensive power in the near future. Bitcoin itself is defensive in nature
Check out terrain model refutes germ theory Robert! On this subject of viruses 👍
Great talk. Thank you.
That was great. Of course I knew it would be
"I love Wiener Dogs. I will be the first to admit they're an abonimation of nature. Created by humans, because we're gangster as hell." 1:09:43
What a statement :D

By the way, I know it is also sad.
Great discussion. Physics first principle is great for solving engineering problems but does it applies to the market? Which seems more human psychology heavy?

As pointed out by Robert at around 1.04.
Here's the kicker, though. YOU are money. The answer to the question that is the name of this podcast, "what is money"... it's you! More broadly stated, life itself is money. That inexplicable force that somehow combats the constant entropic state of the entire observable universe. Yeah, that thing, in and of itself is money.
The most direct real world representation of life is blood. I'm sorry, but we aren't ever going to transcend the laws of nature to the extent that Bitcoin can replace those laws. On the contrary, Bitcoin's success demonstrates the existence of those laws.
Life is money, and the life is in the blood.
It seems to me that Jason comes so close to this understanding, but dances precariously around it, never to land on it.
I've listened to several of the interviews he's taken part in. I think he's brilliant, but I could never put my finger on where and why we disagree, when I follow and appreciate almost everything he's saying, but disagree with his conclusions.
I think I get it now.
There's a fundamental misunderstanding of the answer to the question "what is money" that is shared by almost all of us. Money isn't "energy," despite the fact that life is convertible with energy, as the consensus answer would seem to be.
Think life is gold and energy is the US dollar under the Bretton Woods system.
The other issue I have is that Jason's initial assumption for data collection is to oversimplify human behavior in order to create the constants that have never existed in the world of finance, and still don't. Bitcoin itself is immutable, but human behavior is no more predictable thanks to it's introduction... if anything, the opposite could be true.
Humans may be animals, but they don't act like animals. There is far too complex of a hierarchical structure within humanity to simplify it to that. I also believe that greed is uniquely human. We hunt for sport.
Cooperation ie. mycondreal DNA being allowed to exist in a cell?
Amazing.
Robert always in top form thanks for this!
As a side note would you consider tackling Nassim Taleb Bitcoin criticisms?
I believe Lynn Alden did on What Bitcoin Did podcast
@@pokerlife1137 thanks I'll check it out
Bitcoin translates the $ value on an accounting statement into a percentage that holds up over time.
What creator would choose this law of physics that over time dooms existence as we understand?
cant believe this channel doesnt have 1+ million subs!! sad honestly
Folder of time
4:57 some recognition on the part of Robert on the effort of sharing things
Are "entropy" and "entrepreneur" of similar roots?
1) can you give me any other example or any example at all really of interspecies evolution?
2) fire argument why would we possibly have lost our tails? Can you make ANY argument for a tail being more valuable to expend than useful to keep?
Now this is what I want to hear. There is a very self-cognizant, vehemently cohesive group of people who would be destroyed by the success of bitcoin. Some of them are guests of this show.
What do you mean be destroyed by the success of Bitcoin?
1:03:03 Bret Weinstein once said, “religion is an extended phenotype”
Bitcoin must be similar to this
Thunderbirds are GO !!!!
Yeah Jason is cleaver, Im a biologist and i would say the same about non-living virus vs living organism, it is the ability to reproduce. Virus is just set of molecules that dont have all the machinery necessary to reproduce itself within itself.
Jason do you ever think of Craig Wright who created bitcoin and research him or interview him like many others have? Or read his 1200 white papers or look at his thousands of nChain patents. He's an advanced mathematician .
Let's remember that lady justice holds a sword in her other hand.
And a thumb on the scale
Peter Schiff series!
Great discussion but I feel like there are gaps that could be filled. For one, unlike other animals, in a homo sapiens society (as well as chimps etc) the beta males have won. This ties in nicely with power projection and the additive effect of power. However, a bigger oversight here is not the concept of bitcoin but the implementation of it. While conceptually we all agree that a bitcoin-like system could launch us into the next step of prosperity / rational thought / organization etc, the current system as it exists will never be able to do so. Would love to talk to you more about this Robert as this seems to be a significant blind spot of most crypto enthusiasts.
i'm watching to see how many times jason says "countervail"
convert to audio, write a python script, much faster
I'd love to hear both your thoughts on some sort of digital peaceful protest platform involving a proof of work concensus. Seems like an interesting take on democracy.
Virus is considered to be obligatory parasite, which can’t replicate without the host. Given that usually living organism has to be able to replicate, virus are seen as the organism which are at the border of life and matter. Bacteria can replicate, and it’s a living organism.
Very interesting discussion but i would disagree on one point, in that Jason Lowery said physics or maybe more specifically first principles of physics as we know them today dont care about feelings or morals. This isnt entirely true as we know the observers interaction does hold some type of importance to the reality of the physical world. We still dont know if our true reality is subjective to the observer or not.
schrodinger's bitcoin miner - the hash is wrong and correct at the same time
Right. There is a natural law/human nature dynamic missing from the otherwise brilliant thesis.
Jason ''power projection'' Lowery
Proof of Work:
Work = Force * Distance
but; Force = Mass * Acceleration
and; Energy = Mass * Speed of Light (c) squared
so; Mass = E/C^2
thus; Force = E/C^2 * Acceleration
therefore; Work = E/C^2 * Acceleration * Distance
Bitcoin Proof of Work is Energy Accelerated at the Speed of Light Across Distance (the World)
Opposable thumbs really started to become a thing with felines, and branched outwards into monkeys and then apes and then hominids. Cats use thumbs and claws to grasp their prey and climb trees. Oh, they often deprecate the importance of the 5th appendage on a cat's front paws but they were the first pioneers of the concept of "grasping" as a power projection strategy, and it really is the root of the development of money, because you hold money in savings.
