comparison / key insight - compassion is like language (and also like genetics) - compassion, like language and genetics is intrinsic to our human nature. Every newborn comes into the world with the biological capacity for kindness/compassion, language and for genetic expression. However, - how we actually turn out as adults depends on what variables exist in our environment - If we have a compassionate mOTHER, our Most significant OTHER, she will teach us compassion - just like a child raised in a community of other language speakers in the environment will enable the child to cultivate the language capacity and - without a community of language speakers, a feral infant will grow up not understanding language at all - a healthy environment triggers beneficial epigenetic processes - Again, the chinese saying is salient: (hu)man on earth, good at birth. The same nature, varies on nurture

Summary

🌍 Avoiding Tax Legally in Other Countries

Changing tax residency for half a year may help avoid taxes (but it;s complex and rather recommended for very high earnings). You can move for example to: - United Arab Emirates: No crypto tax. - Germany: No tax on crypto sold after holding for 12 months. - Portugal: Similar tax-free policies for holding over a year.

🔄 What Is Taxed?

Transactions converting cryptocurrency into fiat currency (e.g., PLN, USD) or purchasing goods like property or pizza with cryptocurrency are taxable. Pure crypto-to-crypto transactions are not taxable.

📈 How to Calculate Tax

Calculate the difference between the amount spent to acquire cryptocurrency and the amount earned from its sale. Example: If Bitcoin was bought at $30,000 and sold at $40,000, the taxable income is $10,000.

💰 Tax Rate Overview

• Income up to 1 million PLN is taxed at 19%.
• Income exceeding 1 million PLN incurs an additional 4% solidarity tax, totaling 23% for high earners.

📃 Keeping Records

Tax obligations arise at the moment of converting crypto to fiat or goods, not at the time of withdrawal from an exchange. Keep detailed records to avoid issues during audits or when exchanges request proof of funds.

⚠️ Challenges and Advice

Tax laws in Poland are comprehensive and offer few loopholes. Engaging tax professionals is strongly advised to ensure compliance and minimize errors.

🔄 Deferring Tax Payments in Poland Using Stablecoins

One strategy involves converting crypto profits into stablecoins at year-end and selling them in the following year to postpone taxation. Below is a detailed breakdown of how the strategy works and its limitations.

The Concept

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies (e.g., USD or EUR) and have stable values. Using stablecoins in Poland offers a way to legally defer tax payments:

1. End-of-Year Transaction:

   • Convert your cryptocurrency gains (e.g., Bitcoin) into stablecoins like Tether (USDT) or USD Coin (USDC) at the end of the tax year.
   • These transactions, as crypto-to-crypto conversions, are not taxable in Poland.

2. Start-of-Year Sale:

   • In the new tax year, sell the stablecoins for fiat currency (e.g., PLN).
   • The taxable event occurs in the following year, deferring the tax obligation.

Benefits of This Strategy

1. Tax Payment Deferral:

   • Delays the payment of taxes on your crypto gains by shifting the taxable event to the next year.

2. Inflation Advantage:

   • Inflation reduces the real value of money over time, decreasing the actual financial burden of the deferred tax.

3. Liquidity Management:

   • Funds remain accessible as stablecoins, which can be reinvested or used in decentralized finance (DeFi) during the deferral period.

How Long Can This Be Done in Poland?

• The strategy can be legally repeated annually for up to 15 years.
• After 15 years, the deferred gains may be treated differently or trigger tax liabilities due to long-term reporting requirements. It's important to monitor evolving tax regulations in Poland to ensure compliance.

Key Considerations

1. Documentation:

   • Maintain detailed records of all transactions, including dates, values, and stablecoin transfers, for tax compliance and audits.

2. Stablecoin Selection:

   • Choose stablecoins with strong pegs to fiat currencies to avoid price fluctuations that may affect gains or losses.

3. Regulatory Changes:

   • Polish tax laws are subject to change. Always confirm that the strategy remains valid before executing it.

Example

• Year 1 (2023):

  • Bitcoin bought for PLN 50,000.
  • Sold for PLN 150,000 at the end of 2023.
  • Proceeds converted to USDT (not taxable in Poland).

• Year 2 (2024):

  • USDT sold for PLN 150,000 in January.
  • Taxable gain of PLN 100,000 is reported in the 2024 tax year.

Limitations

1. Short-Term Transactions:

   • If stablecoins are sold within the same year as the crypto-to-stablecoin conversion, the tax deferral benefit is lost.

2. Exchange Fees:

   • Frequent crypto-stablecoin conversions may incur exchange fees, slightly reducing net gains.

3. Regulatory Risks:

   • Future changes to tax laws or stablecoin regulations could impact the strategy's viability.

This strategy allows you to legally defer cryptocurrency taxes for a significant period, maximizing your financial flexibility and leveraging stablecoin stability. Always consult a tax professional for tailored advice and compliance.

summary - Psychologist Jerry Kroth makes a claim that the 1.5 Deg C and 2.0 Deg C thresholds will be reached sooner than expected - due to acceleration of climate change impacts. - He backs up his argument with papers and recent talks of climate thought leaders using their youtube presentations. - This presentation succinctly summarized a lot of the climate news I've been following recently. - It reminded me of the urgency of climate change, my work trying to find a way to integrate the work of the Climate Clock project into other projects. - This work was still incomplete but now I have incentive to complete it.

comment - With Trumps win and the nomination of a slate filled with many billionaires to lead major US departments, it's more obvious than ever that what Trump is doing is:

new meme - A hostile corporate takeover of the US government - We shouldn't be surprised as Trump was groomed by the out-of-control corptocracy in the United States - Remember that NBC made him famous with his show "The Apprentice" and during that time, he was celebrated by American corporate culture. Why else did his show reach top position in Nelson ratings? - Trump is the child of the toxic corporate culture of America where money is king, the metric that rules over everything - people and the environment - Trump is merely running the government the way he ran his companies (into the ground), with total control. - On the apprentice, he made famous the phrase "your fired" - We should not be surprised that he is making the US government in the image of himself that he has well publicized for decades.

Great video about listening to music "professionally"

It's about emotion & intent (context) over the theory, usually.

Excellent vid on playlists

I fucking adore this guy's style. His sarcastic and dry humor is SO GREAT.

Some worked examples of working song transitions.

Best video I have seen on the camelot wheel and mixing keys.

Levels of understanding genres: - 0) No understanding Like the song, never heard anything like it before, but no idea about anything. - 1) Basic Understanding Knowing a bit about the name of the genre and subgenres, but you can be wrong. - 2) Immersion Really dive into subgenres and flavors of the main genre... Also a bit of history about the genre. Research. - 3) Structure Breaking down the structure of the tracks in the genre. For example through DAW. Basically first-principles thinking.

To level 1: Song Analyzer tools (for example musicstax or AI). The author recommends everynoise.com too to gain a basic understanding of genres.

To level 2: Find similar songs and artists for your playlists with that genre. Perhaps playlists. Important to understand the origin of the genre.

Great video about music library organization.

Good videos about playlists.

The distinguisher between a great playlist and a normal playlist is the flow between each songs. In other words, the transitions.

Excellent video on the creation of playlists.

Summary - Michael Sonenscher discusses the modern evolution of the word "capitalism". Adding the suffix "ism" to a word implies a compound term. - Capitalism is a complex, compound concept whose connotations from the use in 18th and 19th century France and England is quite different from today's. - How meaning evolved can give us insight into our use of it today.

origine

Je propose de se rappeler un principe de valeur fondamental qui énonce qu'au fond chaque être humain est bon dans l'absolu, par nature, et qu'il peut éventuellement devenir plus au moins néfaste pour son environnement à cause d'expériences orientées de la vie. Ce principe ne s'oppose pas au principe de responsabilité des individus qu'on suppose libres dans un intervalle plus ou moins grand de possibilités que la vie propose.

Toutefois, on peut facilement se rappeler également que tous les humains ne sont pas égaux ni dans leur environnement ni dans leur intervalle de possibilités. Certains ont réellement la liberté de se questionner, réfléchir, faire des choix et agir, d'autres n'ont peut-être que l'option de reproduire le seul schéma connu et visible, avec peu de moyens pour en sortir et augmenter leur libre arbitre.

Bref tout ça pour rappeler qu'aucun humain ne devient violent pour le plaisir, sans raison. Les troubles actuels sont une précipitation d'un mélange explosif qui se produit depuis des années. Et malgré les horreurs que cela peut produire, il serait même encore plus horrible que les personnes au libre arbitre plus élevé choisissent collectivement de les faire capituler violemment à n'importe quel prix, y compris celui de la mort.

Les humains ne capitulent jamais. Rétablir l'ordre violemment ne fera qu'augmenter la haine et la prochaine explosion n'en sera que plus dévastatrice.

Les personnes touchées sont bien évidemment innocentes en tant qu'individus. En plus d'avoir de la compassion pour elles, je propose de les considérer également comme les personnes qui subissent arbitrairement les conséquences de notre responsabilité collective. C'est arrivé à elles comme cela aurait pu nous arriver à nous. Et si éventuellement la répartition n'est pas aléatoire mais ciblée par le statut social, cela justifie d'autant plus que c'est la responsabilité collective qui est visée, représentée avant tout par nos élus. Parce que nous contribuons tous, par notre libre arbitre plus ou moins grand, à générer cette situation très tendue aujourd'hui. Nous payons les conséquences de nos actions, ou inactions, de chacun. Les politiques concentrent cette responsabilité à leur échelle. Cela n'annule pas la notre, il ne font que la représenter.

Je pense que mal agir peut être 10 fois pire que ne pas agir. Il vaut toujours mieux attendre d'avoir de bonnes raisons rationnelles avant d'agir. Oui il y aura des conséquences. Aucun chemin ne peut les éviter totalement. La violence qui doit s'exprimer se relâche après la crise. Si l'on est pas certain que l'inaction va générer davantage de drames, on est certains qu'une répression violente va en créer encore plus, et qui plus est au nom de chacun de nous, le collectif.

Mettre le focus sur la violence subie de quelques personnes (même si beaucoup de cas, cela reste 0.00...0X% de la population) pour manipuler les gens émotionnellement est une attitude qui ne permet pas de conscientiser la responsabilité collective et individuelle de chacun, ni de se forger des opinions rationnelles.

Fascinating and troublesome is the idea that older books are being edited to be less "offensive" in modern times. This alters the meaning of the past. Do not do this.

Keep it original.

This person argues that one should cultivate a personal library, the tangibleness of the physical, to safeguard knowledge and prevent information control from falling to a single institution or person, so that they may never control the past.

I think he should go deeper into his argument, I do not fully understand what he means.

Interesting thought. This guy relates the upcome of AI (non-fiction) writing to the lack of willingness people have to find out what is true and what is false.

Similar to Nas & Damian Marley's line in the Patience song -- "The average man can't prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of. And still won't research and find the root of the truth that you seek of."

If you want to form an opinion about something, do this educated, not based on a single source--fact-check, do thorough research.

Charlie Munger's principle. "I never allow myself to have [express] an opinion about anything that I don't know the opponent side's argument better than they do."

It all boils down to a critical self-thinking society.

Interesting. LibraryLin is a Scheperian as well.

One of the most beautiful versions of the Internationale Song I have ever heard/seen

Really useful video about the generation of story beats.

This video tells me I need to spend more time actually reflecting on the table of contents and title. As well as with the pigeonholing; classify in the mind in what categories this book falls.

( ~1:55)

Interesting sentiment. Library Lin supposes that most people who do not like reading don't like it because of bad reading habits and that when they improve on their reading habits, they will start liking it.

Off-topic, I love this woman's accent.

Great song by Joshua Aaron.
