I just had to stop by and comment on this.  It echoes something that I wrote for WO a few weeks ago, but didn’t post; it is symbolic, on so very many levels...
Following is the unpublished post, file mtime 2020-10-10, which was brought to mind by the burning violin image.  I was and am reluctant to publish this, for I have cast too many pearls already; and “you’d probably scroll on by like the unmitigated savages you all are.”  (LOL.)


European culture in 1808:  Pauline Borghese (née Bonaparte; Napoleon’s sister) poses as Venus with an apple.


Fun fact:  Pauline had an affair with Paganini.


European culture was vibrant.  —With vibrato.





THIS SPACE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT NULL.





Modern, democratic European culture Eurovision (like “Satoshi’s Vision”?) in 2014:





Protip for the unmitigated savages:  Most, albeit not all of the images that I post in the Wall Observer and elsewhere are intentionally hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons.  Among other benefits, this provides an implicit lead on where to find more information about an image.

That which can be learned, must be earned.  Anyone who is possessed of more curiosity than the most abject dullard, and who is not a mental defective, can easily figure out how to turn the image URLs into URLs for the the pertinent Wikimedia File: pages.  Those, in turn, provide proper identification—and oftentimes, direct links to the relevant Wikipedia pages in multiple languages.  In particular, if* you love a painting or statue that I embed from Wikimedia Commons, then there is never any need for reverse image search drudgery:  Hit the quote button, look at the URL, and hop over to the wacky wiki which, albeit a Communist propaganda cesspool, does have more information identifying these artworks, their histories, and the (mostly long-dead) great artists who created them.

(* “Focus on the IF.”)

A refined gourmet feast should be served with an appropriate sauce.  However, those who are not sufficiently motivated to pursue life’s finer things just do not deserve them.  Hiding the sauce in the URL is too low a low-pass filter, but it hereby suffices for most purposes.  If you smell the tantalizing repast, but you just scroll on past, then no sauce for you!

From Politics & Society:
Where do you think it went wrong nulli?
Giving non-property owners the right to vote? Giving women, young, minorities, recent immigrants, non english speakers, etc. the right to vote? Or was it just doomed from the start?

Dang, eddie.  Did you pwn my computer and read the draft, file modification time 2020-10-12, of this thing that I seem to have not actually posted to the Wall Observer?


—BEGIN QUOTATION—
by nulliusst_mtim = 2020-10-12 17:58:07.057600524 +0000
Minimally revised on grounds of perfectionism.

[—a quoted quip about idiots taking IQ tests—]

Immodest proposal:  Only smart people should be allowed to take IQ tests, to learn to read, or to vote.

Quote from: Nietzsche
Every one being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking.

Only people working for a private income should be allowed to vote. No representation without taxation.

I disagree in principle with basing rights and privileges on taxation.  Anyway, this presents an obvious practical problem:  If people working for private income vote for a government that abolishes the income tax, then upon what principle should suffrage be based?

Historically, besides heritable class status, the single most effective guarantor of voter quality was a real property ownership requirement.  People whose wealth is invested in illiquid, immovable property within a jurisdiction tend to think more long-term; and most especially, people who own their own homes (in contradistinction to investment properties) have the most to lose from bad government.  Liquid, fungible, or easily liquidatable wealth, i.e. capital is NOT comparable.  If your personal wealth is only invested in the markets, then it is just too easy to pick up and move.

Naturally, I think that such a requirement must logically exclude mortgaged properties, which (especially in today’s society) are effectively rented from the bank.

In the United States, which has lamentably lacked legal class distinctions from its inception, real property ownership was a common requirement in the beginning.  Obviously, it was insufficient.  In Europe, class distinctions also proved insufficient.  Perhaps the whole concept of democracy should be questioned—but I digress...

Of course, all of this discussion is otiose.  No jurisdiction with universal suffrage will ever have a voting majority vote to restrict the franchise; expansion of the franchise is a one-way ratchet which cannot be undone except by total “régime change”.  Moreover, in a world in which such objectively important criteria as reading tests (!) can be deemed “racist” (!!) by the world’s historic and histrionic leaders at Making The World Safe For Democracy, this is just the sort of [...draft abruptly ends here; a cat must have knocked over my computer, or something...]

—END QUOTATION—


As for the rest of eddie’s list, it is more or less correct—albeit not necessarily for the reasons that liberals with knee-jerk reactions would assume—and albeit incomplete.  For if votes are allowed, then votes should be dear!  Of what value is a thing so cheap that it is just given away to every precious snowflake?

Universal suffrage is vote inflation.  Making everybody “free” by giving everybody a vote is like making everybody “rich” by printing lots of money.

Yes, that is an original observation on my part.  Analogy credit: nullius.

[...] Of course the masses still think they "missed bitcoin" thus are missing it again... but those entering now buying their "ONE WHOLE COIN" or even their 6.15 (whateverthehell that means) will be the ones who really have to be NEO in that meme.  The rest of us will be helping distribute the early corn fairly helping them to make their dreams come true.   Part of what makes the distribution fair is we lock in our speculative gains "too early" and live comfortable lives with the remainder in play. 

My comfortable divest zone just lags yours a little.


Just a guess, but the 6.15 bitcoin meme by americanhodl4 might be inspired by the 6:15 PM UTC time of the genesis block:

Modern, democratic European culture Eurovision (like “Satoshi’s Vision”?) in 2014:



If a similar competition as the "modern democratic Eurovision" would have existed back in 1808, do you really believe that "the people" would have voted for Paganini?

I don't think so.

[ed. I think there's even a realistic chance that some other singing bearded woman would have won the competition in 1808 anyway]

...







USA has 330,000,000 people about 200,000,000 are old enough to vote.

https://www.highiqpro.com/iq-tests/what-does-my-iq-score-mean has the chart below




14% are at 70 to 85  
34% are at 85 to 100

translation 48% are below average or 48% or 200 million =  96 million old enough to vote and affect America elections.

So if passing an iq test was used and 100 was the pass we would reduce 200mill -96mill =104 million can vote.

Anyhow, my supposed love for shitcoins is surely a well kept secret that was not even known by me... go figure.

A buy now message if I have ever seen it. Buy the dip!

Speaking of which it looks like bitpay can allow purchases at a more reasonable commission from ATM cards. I'll open a new bank account and give them that number, no fucking way I would give them access to a real account.

Thanks!

Hey oh, WO!  Grin
Let me avoid to comment on what's happening price-wise. I will speak only after 20K

Do you promise no speaking?    Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Anyway, here's who's making money, tons of money thanks to the yellow friend
https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/83748/square-earnings-q3-cash-app-bitcoin

I have heard of "orange" friend and I feel as if I know "orange" friend decently well, but as far as I know, I never have known a "yellow" friend, so far.

What is such mysterious, "yellow friend"?

Would it be to my advantage to be introduced or to become acquainted?

JJG, yet another word sniper! Point 1) I will refrain to comment on anything less than 20k (i did that already in 2017) where we are inevitably going
Point 2) Of course, what else! I was referring to our ORANGE friend. Maybe Peter Schiff abducted me while posting about it. Conspiracy solved. Grin
