Read How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World

All actors seem to behaving rationally to me. Just because some people dont like the outcome doesn’t mean anyone acted irrationally at any point.

OmniFocus for all actionable items Pinboard for tagging links Google doc listing quotes I like Instapaper for reading later YouTube for watch later Overcast + huffduffer for listen later

All of these work/sync cross my desktop laptop and iPhone.

In progress is a wiki type system for potentially typing it all together. Dropbox Paper has been great for the wiki part.

There are 100 lightning nodes running in production currently.

What you’ve described is labor theory of value and I don’t think it makes sense.

HB's Permanent Portfolio consists of 25% each cash/gold/stocks/long term bonds

25% stocks (index fund) Stocks – for profit during periods of general prosperity and/or declining inflation.

25% Gold – for profit during periods of bad inflation; during inflationary episodes gold bullion provides protection against a falling currency and other potential problems.

25% Long Term Bonds (30 year) – for profit during periods of declining interest rates; and especially during a deflation. Bonds also do reasonably well during prosperity.

25% Cash – During a recession, no particular asset class is going to do well. The cash in a Treasury Money Market Fund offers stability when portfolio asset classes fall in price. It also protects purchasing power during a deflation.

Id like to see some ability to detect different CMSs

commute - work someplace closer. or get remote work.

chores - have less stuff to maintain.

eating - not sure what can be done here.

exercise - look into tabata or hiit. you can workout 2x20min a week.

you can also find way to be more efficient with your activities to cut off time on each one, even if you keep it.

sure none of these suggestions is without cost. but these suggestions can be enacted to the end goal of more time (for sleep or whatever)

What exactly isn't true about my statement.

You are saying people are not individuals with their own preferences?

Sure you can draw mental or geographical lines around people. And then try to apply laws to them.

But at the end of the day there are still people in those lines choosing to follow, or not follow the laws in various ways. And people treating people differently even while following those laws.

And who controls for the number of vets and the number of VA hospitals? The government.

Do you think they would do better in a bigger version of this for the whole country?

There is no "we" as you mention.

Everyone is an individual with different values and judgments.

How could you expect the entirety of the human race to treat someones actions in a consistent way? It simply is going against reality.

I think cutting costs is the solution as well.

Wouldn't cutting down regulation, and reducing the AMAs monopoly on doctors help?

Less regulation = less costs.

More doctors drive costs down too.

I prefer:

Find the individuals profit motive and appeal to it.
