I got an email yesterday about exposing my controversial porn choices to the world. Guy wanted $900 in Bitcoin, then went on to explain what crypto is. My question was... after several paragraphs devoted to how he knew my every online move, how did he think I didn't know about crypto? I hate it when hackers get lazy like that.
Even though it feels like we’re in uniquely strange and volatile times, we’re really not. Humans of the past, for the most part, behaved just like us.
I find this to be really comforting too. I think we're programmed to amplify what happens to us. Just like we think a break-up, ailment or betrayal that we go through is worse than what others have experienced. We can't possibly be one in a long line. But we are. Thank goodness.
I'm putting that book in my TBR:)
Lol, I think that scam has been around for a while. With 99% of these scams you just wonder "how can people fall for this?" but they must fool enough people to make it lucrative for them. My fear is how much more sophisticated these scams will become in the next few years.
I think you're right about the amplification of our individual condition, it's like we get lost in and blinded by the emotions of it all. This book is a really quick read and valuable. It was actually recommended by Elon Musk and now I understand why.
