ORT. Final chapter Atto XXVIII
"And into the Forest I go, to lose my Mind and find my Soul" J. Muir
When we approach the end of a Cycle the undercurrents of the secret realm of Mysteries and Enchantment begin to stir from their slumber, eager to flow once again. It is our longing

for that indefinite something more growing within us, urging us to shed the Grey taint of conformity. Suddenly, in a day like any other day, something changes within us. We no longer feel blinded in a shadow of mundane tasks, but instead we begin to question our surroundings,
the received truth and most importantly, our reality. "What is the point of it all?" that is the question. Our social interactions now feel like a fictional narrative, scripted, fake, unsatisfactory. Our minds begin craving a different outlook, a fresh start. A desire to know.
Our mind begin to change, our brain fires up new mysterious pathways and questions spring copiously searching for answers. But what happens when you start questioning your reality? You wake up from the induced dream state. The yokes of indoctrination start to loosen up. Breathe.
You have taken the first step on your path to spiritual awakening.
Awakening isn’t just a lifestyle switch, it’s a transmutation of the mental, emotional, spiritual and the physical body. These experiences inevitably start changing our life and the philosophy of existence itself.
Before we are even aware we are experiencing awakening our body is preparing ourselves for the changes subconsciously. We start to become more sensitive towards our environments. We begin to crave detoxes and the various ways to start cleaning up our life. The cleansing has begun
Your energy vibrations start to change and your body density decreases. You are experiencing the reaction of your immune system, your organism releases exosomes to get rid of the toxins, just like flu symptoms, your body is telling you to slow down and rest.
The old paradigm must be abandoned. You might feel necessary to clean or create more space within the home, remove objects, old habits or people from your life. You have an intense desire to purify yourself in every possible way. You are peeking behind the veil and it's scary.
To be continued. Good night.
You must imagine yourself in the state of your innermost desire and clear your mind of the cacophony that surrounds you.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.

3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
1/ Here’s a list of conversational frameworks I’ve picked up that have been helpful.

Please add your own.

2/ The Magic Question: "What would need to be true for you


3/ On evaluating where someone’s head is at regarding a topic they are being wishy-washy about or delaying.

“Gun to the head—what would you decide now?”

“Fast forward 6 months after your sabbatical--how would you decide: what criteria is most important to you?”

4/ Other Q’s re: decisions:

“Putting aside a list of pros/cons, what’s the *one* reason you’re doing this?” “Why is that the most important reason?”

“What’s end-game here?”

“What does success look like in a world where you pick that path?”

5/ When listening, after empathizing, and wanting to help them make their own decisions without imposing your world view:

“What would the best version of yourself do”?

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
