E.g. bitcoin uses mining as a economic system to achieve consensus, something not done with code alone, but as the resulting sum of human actions.

      agreed about his attitude and disposition. i think in large part why people like vitalik, elon and other smart people are humble is because they are similarly surrounded by smart people. in this type of environment, you can only have respect for your peers and colleagues and be kind of in awe yourself.
      also, when you're that rich, you are likely only seeing the best sides of people. you're no-one's subordinate where you have to take orders, for example.

    This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

    One of my favorite definitions of an oft-misunderstood word, "humility," is "One's ability to remain *right sized*". In other words: not too big, haughty, or arrogant; but *also* not too *small*: and not being *too small* involves being cognizant of one's abilities; accurately recognizing them, then using them appropriately.
