I'm over being proud of it, though. This place has lost it's glitter.

Cool concept (even though IQ is a very poor measure of intelligence). It seems to be related to rpietila's rabit hole metaphor. I want to add that you can communicate with people outside your range. It's just tiring and not intellectually rewarding (but can be socially rewarding to some in certain situations).

@rpietila

Delete this post if you want, but maybe at the same time, you should rename this thread as the 'donations to the jesus delusionals'.
Maybe just pay him what he wants and wish him well, cos you're continued engagement with this divisive fruitcake, is probably not good for you right now, if ive understood your situation correctly. 

When all the things that change the world and impact evolution have shifted to knowledge creation, which money can't buy, then influence over and actual knowledge creation are more valued than money. You can go buy all the useless castles you want, while I change the world. Then we will compare accomplishments.

Also pray tell Satoshi that I can't monetize my Bitcoin killer. He certainly did. But money isn't the goal and he presumably knew that also.

My goal is to move us to the next stage where knowledge creation is important and money (hard resources) less so. Atoms are heavy, but finitely so. Knowledge creation is unbounded. Compare.

In short, your ladder is not a metric of greatest importance. It the illusion that is going to trap the capitalists as we move towards the return of Jesus where resources don't matter any more. Jesus is coming technologically even if not literally.

That is why I suggested you should use your money for good while it still has any relevance. Yeah I am in a rough spot right now financially, but Jesus told me to walk with nothing and stay focused on what is important. (that doesn't mean I am a saint!)


Raising your level in the wrong direction has made you much less likely to have any important impact. You are moving farther away from any sensible decentralized lurch towards the knowledge age with your socialist monetary scheme which is competing directing with the TPTB because it is a power vacuum direction.

Whereas, I am creating technological advances which decentralize and eliminate the power vacuum. And also provides a basic level income for a basic level of work. Which is the way it should be, not some socialistic scheme.


The only non power vacuum will come from technology that renders concentrated control over wealth impotent over anything other than resource capitalism.

Bitcoin failed because it burns a physical resource.

The positive scaling law of Linus' law is the solution. It is the only positive scaling law of software (technology) engineering. And it also applies to truth in a way that I am going to be the first to bring to a money system.

Please continue thinking of me as lower on your ladder. I am confident that is what they thought of Jesus too as he humbly hung out with the bankers and prostitutes because he said that is where the ripe fruit was for saving souls.


Edit: Adam Smith pointed out that those trying to promote the public interest often do worse than those who work for their own optimum economics, due to the invisible hand (or otherwise stated, "you can't do just one thing" ... see how conversationalists destroyed the rivers by trying to save the wildlife from predator wolves). Your goody-goody socialistic coin is in the same genre of myopia:

Don't tell me you can't read?

Hahahaha

I did this also a few years ago and I know the feeling

I'm impressed that you still have them packed up.

Pointless titles are pointless.

Don't tell me you factor poster's title into your analysis of the post?

I dunno. I only saw that gmaxwell has 2000+ activity.

I am not at your activity level, as I have only 1400 cumulative of all my history of usernames.

Is there a way to search by Activity? I'm guessing there's not very many of us with 2000+ activity.

I guess it is nice to be "legendary" in something.

I have certainly gained some wisdom since 2013.  I have rather enjoyed spending much time on Bitcointalk and gleaning from those that I could tell were way beyond me in regards to intelligence.  I often feel like the "little sister" that is trying to understand her much older brother's discussions.  I am fully aware that my IQ is well below most, if not all, on here (mine is 128).  My husband (who is well into the 140s) said that we cannot have meaningful conversations with anyone that is outside of 30 IQ points of another.  This is why those that fall into the 140+ range find the entire world difficult to be in.  LOL  People in the world with 110-120 IQs get along "socially" the easiest it seems.  I do OK at 128-129, but I even feel I am smart enough to see beyond the "veil" of what is going on.  That could just be some God given discernment too though.

But things I have learned since 2013 is that what we consider "money" is something that certainly needs to be held onto loosely.  As I experienced a couple Bitcoin bubbles and found how quickly it could come and then go, it actually helped me let go of some of my worries strangely enough.  I also have way less trust in my government and in USD, which is a very healthy thing I believe.  I look around me and see that most, if not all people I know, put their trust in something that could and most likely will be taken from them.  They will be left holding nothing and become so devastated by that.  It is as if I see people walking towards the edge of a cliff and they are not even aware of it.  I could tell them, but it would be futile.  So I just have to wait and see how this all plays out.  It is all rather fascinating though.  

And this time around, as the bubble hits, I am a bit more humbled and I will take my husband's advice (and Risto's as well) and have a plan so my emotions do not get as involved as they did in 2013.  The SSS (sane simple savings plan) has been charted out and I honestly feel good about it.  We are already completely in the "black" in regards to our Bitcoin holdings.  If we lost all we have today nothing would be "lost" on paper, so that is a great feeling.  So now it is just sitting back and enjoying the ride and seeing how it all plays out.  Hopefully I won't get sucked back into the obsession I dealt with in 2013.  That was a little crazy.

And as I've been trying to tell you, you are creating that problem for yourself unnecessarily. You are trying to replace TPTB with yourself. That is not the correct solution. We don't need more idols (Ten Commandments). Read below...



Creating as much money as needed is a lie to yourself. Money can't buy knowledge creation:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/economic-devastation-355212 <--- the OP of the Economic Devastation thread
The Rise of Knowledge
http://unheresy.com/Information%20Is%20Alive.html

It is the knowledge creation which is needed and valuable. Money is a claim on resources, but not a claim on knowledge creation (because it can't be, read my essay linked above).

The power to create unlimited money (even by having people follow) is never a desirable power because it is a power vacuum.

It can never be a truth that money which is created by following leaders is an honest/truthful or nonviolent money system, because it will always be a power vacuum.

The foundation of your plan appears to begin with fundamental logic errors. Sorry. IQ tests lie.

Can we suggest a new "Epic" level to Theymos and/or more blue coins for higher Activity?

I take the meaning of of "epic" to be "the one that stands out through all of the ages".

Another alternative higher level title is "OneOfTheAges".

rpietila you seem to be a donator, so perhaps you can get Theymos's ear.

Perhaps "Epic" for 1500+ and "OneOfTheAges" for 2000+.

Or transpose Epic and Legendary ex post facto.

I will never attain any of these titles explicitly (which is my preference), unless bestowed on me by decree ex post facto as correcting an embarrassment whenif I "kill" Bitcoin. I prefer to attain it the more challenging way wherein I play the game outside the rules that were dicktated to me.

Me too...  
Nice to meet all you living legends...  

Me too

I am legendary too. *





* But, I don't deserve it!  I take my compensation via Sig Campaign.  Hey, I'm retired!  How else am I supposed to get an income anyway?

I am legendary 

Indeed! Welcome back Risto!

Note someone has hacked my old accounts and is posting from them recently. History of the account is here:

If we could rank Legendary by total posts, I think I would be near the top of the list if not at the top. My cumulative posts exceed that of all the Legendary posters in this thread over the past 3 days combined. Lauda is my statistical equal (but not cohort), except I would argue (that statistics lie because) my posts are of greater technical effort.

Note that both TPTB_need_war and sockpuppet1 were active simultaneously, so the peak posts per day perhaps exceeded 40.

My recent posts per day I guesstimate is below 10. Hopefully I can get it down to 3 - 5.


Edit: I have apparently more than 1/1000th (0.1%) of all BCT posts:

Holy shit rpietila is back.
