[@randyjones3050]

I started my journey in earnest back in 2008 during the financial crisis trying to understand what caused it. Learning about how money is created through central banking and fractional reserve lending and that the dollar is backed by nothing was the biggest "Holy Sh*t!" moment of my life. The rabbit hole was deep and Bitcoin was at the bottom of it.

Saylor is a genius level polymath. I think it is interesting that he originally planned to finish his Ph.D. and become a college professor before he accidentally became a billionaire. He would have been a fantastic college professor, but destiny seemed to have other plans for him. Now he has become a professor to the world.

[@crypt0t3ddy79]

I'm not a military expert myself but i have to doubt what you said about aircraft carriers, fighter jets and sattelites. Yes they are powerful and important BUT there is a reason not more aircraft carriers are being built and alternative strategies are being looked at. An aircraft carrier is extremely expensive but also comparatively slow and large. It's not a hard target to hit and it can be sunk using a continuous barrage of missiles (+torpedos). The cost to sink an aircraft carrier is a fraction of the cost of the aircraft carrier itself. In war games the US aircraft carrier was repeatedly "sunk" by a submarine without ever detecting the submarine. Also SAMs are improving and the cost of a SAM is again, asymmetric to the cost of a modern day fighter jet. It is also not that hard to attack a satellite. Capabilities are there and have been proven. Sattelites have quite predictable orbits and are not very manouverable. I would be careful with trying to generalize statements using current day military tech.

[@paul1887]

I just found out about Loazi or Lou Tzu depending. Anyway the Tao Te Ching is awesome, and I also found out about Zhuanzi who wrote the inner and outer chapters of the Tao. Here's one I really like and I hope you find it fascinating as I do. “The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?” ― Zhuangzi, Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters
