April 2020 to now is over six years now.

So it's been all accumulation.

And same thing with like my mom, whose money I manage.

She's never sold any Bitcoin and she's got like some solid Bitcoin and stuff like that.

MicroStrategy for sure.

I think we're in MicroStrategy 2.0 right now.

1.0 was just the start of the accumulation of Bitcoin and just being a traditional treasury company like you're talking about.

2.0 would be this financialization of the Bitcoin offering these preferred securities to different types of investors that do different things.

Four different 1955s, and each one's a bit worse.

Now the machine won't work." "Your theory is wrong," Corrigan said calmly.

"Hasn't it occurred to you yet that time travel might be impossible?" The young man made a choked sound.

He began to climb down from his perch, keeping his eyes fixed suspiciously on Corrigan as he did so.

Your state and your society need you.

I'm glad to help you on your way.

Lenna mounted the machine, and Burwell beamed a thought at Corrigan.

I've convinced him that the thing works and that it would not be easy to come back.

We set out to have a presence in the key manufacturing hubs for Denim, being Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey and Bangladesh.

Delighted to say that that has now been achieved, but actually we're set to overachieve in the breadth of distribution with Machinery now requested in Sri Lanka and in India and in the two other manufacturing hubs as well in Pakistan.

So machine placements, as the title says, exceeding plan.

We are also touch wood in the final stages of closing out our first brand agreement when it comes to denim manufacturing as well.

The rudder and propeller arrangement may be nearby, depending on the vessel and its design, and these areas require particular care.

Machinery has little interest in the fact that a human being is wearing an impressive copper helmet nearby.

A propeller is designed to move through water with considerable force and even when stationary it remains a large solid object with sharp edges and heavy surfaces.

You keep your movements controlled and avoid placing yourself where lines, machinery or submerged structures could create unnecessary difficulties.

Coming up, we have the unbelievably stupidly hard trivia question and the bonus round of the episode.

Today, the bonus round is Mind of a Machine.

The one where I get to ask stupid, stupid questions to a robot.

See you in a moment for that.

Give yourself five points if you know the Transformers and The Used extremely well.

And that means it's time for the bonus round of this episode.

This week, the bonus round is Mind of a Machine.

In this game, I've asked ChatGPT some ridiculous hypotheticals with the following prompt.

The English do not make use of it because the wretch who does this work gets paid for such a small portion of his labour that machinery would increase the cost of production to the capitalist.

Footnote Wretch is the recognised term in English political economy for the agricultural labourer.

Quote Machinery can frequently not be employed until labour, he means wages, rises.

End quote Ricardo, loco citato, page 479 End footnote In England women are still occasionally used instead of horses for hauling canal boats because the labour required to produce horses and machines is an accurately known quantity while that required to maintain the women of the surplus population is below all calculation.

Footnote See Report of the Social Science Congress at Edinburgh, October 1863 End footnote Hence nowhere do we find a more shameful squandering of human labour power for the most despicable purposes than in England, the land of machinery.

End of Part 4, Chapter 15, Section 2

Part 4, Production of Relative Surplus Value, Chapter 15, Machinery and Modern Industry Section 3, The Proximate Effects of Machinery on the Workmen The starting point of modern industry is, as we have shown, the revolution in the instruments of labour, and this revolution attains its most highly developed form in the organized system of machinery in a factory.

Before we inquire how human material is incorporated with this objective organism, let us consider some general effects of this revolution on the labourer himself.
