GM Nostr. Nostr is the future of social media.
I’m going to be posting frequently.
If you’re here, you believe in many of the same things I do.
My background is as a ChemE with 30 years of data architecture experience. I’m Medical Informatics faculty at a four-year medical college.
Last night, I was thinking about the cycles of my condition and the parallels with the cycles with our economy, the world, and bitcoin.
All these things have cycles. None of these systems are actually stable systems. In ChemE you take a process and controls class. You learn all about systems and how to modulate them by adjusting inputs and outputs. You learn how to recognize if a system is stable or unstable, batch or steady-state.
The Fourth Turning is a real thing. Our world is a system. It is inherently unstable with the current inputs and outputs. You can see that, over time, in the debt cycles.
Bitcoin adoption is still early, and so it comes in cycles as things overheat and fall back.
Similarly, my physiology is going through cycles caused by an treatment that brought about an interaction between my immune system and candidiasis.
It’s a bizarre story, and I’ve tried to document it on my website. Jimcraddock.com
Here, as I go through what is most certainly the final portions of my condition, I will record the changes and share my journey through the thoroughly deficient medical system. Yes, after 30 years trying to explain what I have while understanding the basics from an actual medical textbook, no one has ever heard of it. It’s incredibly bizarre to have something that science redacted, especially when it can so insidiously hide from tests.
How does it hide? In short, the problem is my system stores excess electrolyte in interstitial spaces. So, blood tests show normal levels while abnormal levels exist in the space outside of circulation. Over time, this condition results in dramatic loss of blood volume, hidden by, among other things, the elecyrolytes pushed into the flesh.
How does this take place? Changes in pH, circulation, pressures, and hormones caused by a pituitary put into a state of overdrive.
Why post here?
This is the future of social media. It’s inevitable, I think.
