Suggested Reading 6

*In* *this series**, I assume the role of a reader instead of a writer, discussing articles by other writers... things I recommend.* https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/index-over-my-articles-at-read-cash-5f7c1e34#suggested-reading Someone asked me how often I publish “Suggested Reading”. The answer is that I have no fixed schedule for that. It depends on how much time I have to spend on reading at Read.cash (which varies) and how much material I find to include. When I have much enough, I publish a “Suggested Reading”. The time between the issues can be anything from a few days and up. From the beginning this was not intended to become a series. The response, however, was so good so I decided to continue. I won't promise for how long though, it will be as long as it feels meaningful. @claudio83 published USA launch National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, which shows us on example of how Bigbrotherism is spreading in he world of cryptocurrencies. https://read.cash/@claudio83 https://read.cash/@claudio83/usa-launch-national-cryptocurrency-enforcement-team-b2c3064e A quite new member, @Endurance, has so far published only one article, BTC’s trojan horse – the lightning network, which (in my opinion correctly) describes what the much blown up Lightning Network achieved: https://read.cash/@Endurance https://read.cash/@Endurance/btcs-trojan-horse-the-lightning-network-5d376b0a “It copied the currently working banking system with all it’s flaws and make it use BTC. It is subject to centralized partners who will use KYC and large hubs can easily blacklist any of your transactions.” A few days ago @MintDice published the read-worthy What is Game Theory, and How Does it Apply to Bitcoin? https://read.cash/@MintDice https://read.cash/@MintDice/what-is-game-theory-and-how-does-it-apply-to-bitcoin-b3e384db In Is a Capitalist Society at a disadvantage during the ongoing silent War?, @Jaxson discusses if and why Capitalism might lose against Totalitarianism. https://read.cash/@Jaxson/is-a-capitalist-society-at-a-disadvantage-during-the-ongoing-silent-war-7259b02b @Bjorn speculates about artificial intelligence: AI: Hope Or Threat? https://read.cash/@Bjorn https://read.cash/@Bjorn/ai-hope-or-threat-545ba589 @sanctuary.the-one-law continues consistently to describe his ideology in A State of The-One-Law. https://read.cash/@sanctuary.the-one-law https://read.cash/@sanctuary.the-one-law/a-state-of-the-one-law-328f75f2 In Control Yourself To Not Be A Consumptive, @Luna1999 brings up a very common problem, whose importance is sometimes neglected. https://read.cash/@Luna1999/control-yourself-to-not-be-a-consumptive-de35ec79 The same author discusses the four temperaments in Melancholy, Phlegmatic, Sanguine, and Choleric. The concept is not something peripheral, it has had an enormous impact on human thinking during a long time. As I wrote in a previous article: *“This* [the four temperaments] *was the basis for the medical paradigm that dominated the Antiquity and ahead, until about 200 years ago.”* https://read.cash/@Luna1999/melancholy-phlegmatic-sanguine-and-choleric-50eeb760 https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/number-magic-1-three-four-e4689164#four-matter-the-physical-world Then I want to mention three recent philosophical articles by @aniruddhasen, who, in his best moments, belongs to the very best authors here. I don't only refer to the sheer writing, but also to the thinking behind. It is not just words, he has something to say with the words. https://read.cash/@aniruddhasen https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/words-are-power-but-only-if-you-have-something-to-say-dd4dca45 Choice and destiny https://read.cash/@aniruddhasen/choice-and-destiny-1f0d34da It's all about nothing. https://read.cash/@aniruddhasen/its-all-about-nothing-18e57bee The red tomato https://read.cash/@aniruddhasen/the-red-tomato-5cf5f484 @Olawale4967 wrote The Shadow Side of Greatness, about how in some area of life very successful people often are total failures in other areas. There is a price to pay for greatness and success, a price that perhaps is too high. This is an article all young career aspiring people ought to read before making choices for life. https://read.cash/@Olawale4967 https://read.cash/@Olawale4967/the-shadow-side-of-greatness-db366e6c In Outing the Oppression Olympians, @MarielB22 brings up another important question – the regressing world. She definitely has a point. The subject could be taken much longer and deeper though, but everything must start somewhere, and this is a start as good as any. This article is not politically correct, so I suppose there are readers who will not like the opinions presented there. I would have described it differently, but in essence I agree with the author. https://read.cash/@MarielB22/outing-the-oppression-olympians-e1961d89 I also suggest you read The happy memories. by the always well writing @gertu13. It is a little piece of everyday wisdom. https://read.cash/@gertu13/the-happy-memories-cb3d27e9 “Never use other people's relationships as a gauge for yours.“ writes @Olasquare in It Is Different For Everyone. I would say that ***everything*** is different for everyone, not only relationships. So, what @Olasquare says is more general than he makes it in this article. https://read.cash/@Olasquare https://read.cash/@Olasquare/it-is-different-for-everyone-e21c6f2a Then we have a new Russian member, @Blogika, who produces interesting articles. Her articles are published in as well Russian as English. They are well worth reading. Take a look at her profile. https://read.cash/@Blogika Let's mention some articles of an entirely different sort. Not serious literature, not ideology or philosophy; just some fun knowledge: @pandoru1997 writes about Swarovski crystals, in Secrets of Swarovski crystals. The article is quite old by now, but its content is timeless. https://read.cash/@pandoru1997 https://read.cash/@pandoru1997/secrets-of-swarovski-crystals-dd81b6eb Do you know your birthstone? by @cmoneyspinner https://read.cash/@cmoneyspinner/do-you-know-your-birthstone-8c23b47a The six most expensive flowers in the world by @viggy40, a member I have not encountered before, although she has obviously been here for a year or so. https://read.cash/@viggy40/the-six-most-expensive-flowers-in-the-world-eab14083 Then we can include Day 13 of 31 days of Halloween!! The Slenderman !! as well. The author is @Theblackdoll. This is the story of an urban legend. https://read.cash/@Theblackdoll/day-13-of-31-days-of-halloween-the-slenderman-0c4d78e7 Some pieces of fiction by @nomadghada: https://read.cash/@nomadghada The Venusian Sky (Sci Fi Fiction) https://read.cash/@nomadghada/the-venusian-sky-sci-fi-fiction-fc602362 Alien Moon (Sci-fi fiction) https://read.cash/@nomadghada/alien-moon-sci-fi-fiction-f0dd9682 And finally a story by @Pearlkel: The Priestess. Obviously the author is Nigerian, but I am not sure whether the story is some sort of Nigerian legend or pure fiction created by the author from scratch. If you, @Pearlkel, read this, perhaps you can inform us in a comment? https://read.cash/@Pearlkel https://read.cash/@Pearlkel/the-priestess-b3b12ed2 Read the whole series, ”Suggested Reading” and my series “Retrospection”. https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/index-over-my-articles-at-read-cash-5f7c1e34#suggested-reading https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/index-over-my-articles-at-read-cash-5f7c1e34#retrospection Copyright © 2021 Meleonymica/Mictorrani.
