I love this argument, it's amazing "Sure, Bitcoin is itself a tremendous waste of resources, but have you considered it will also SAVE immense resources by causing a global economic recession and sending you back to a simple village life"

Okay so put your money where your mouth is then Log off, sell all your electronic shit and put the money into BTC mining stock, roll up your sleeves and go outside and start tilling those fields for planting season You're gonna need the practice

Cool! Schrödinger argument right? But aside of that. So Bitcoin consumes energy, bad. Better to live clean, agreed. So how many crops did you planted, sowed in the past year?

Nah consuming energy for stuff that's actually useful and fun is good Fewer mining rigs, more PS5s

I have personally made a firm commitment to never plant nor harvest a crop, a commitment in favor of soft money and high time preference consumption and all the good stuff

The idea of spending time and money on entertainment, especially in the Pandemic Times, being bad is insipid. People aren't designed to be able to just sit in an empty room and stare at the wall, I'd rather be doing something fun and engaging myself.

It's really when the Bitcoiners start going in on the "time preference" stuff that my anger becomes deeply philosophical and therefore far more intensely furious

Where does your hatred for low time preference stem from?

From it being a slave mindset used by masters to exploit you

Arthur ChuVerified account @arthur_affectThere's a conservative meme going around mocking an antiracist education packet that lists a bunch of stereotypically "white" traits, which they find ironic because they think of those traits as objectively superior traits One of those traits is "low time preference"Show this thread4 replies 1 retweet 15 likes -
