Sharing a speech I have treasured for many years, "The Secret of Psalm 46". This piece reflects the views of the older generation of game designers towards their younger counterparts during a pivotal moment in the gaming industry. The speech interweaves stories from computer games, religion, literature, and music to reveal the timeless logic in art and even business. I believe this is the greatest speech in the gaming industry. The translator even recommends this speech as one of the most important speeches in the business history of the early 21st century. This has also been my steadfast professional goal in the crypto space for many years: what exactly are we, as practitioners in the crypto space, pursuing? The Secret of Psalm 46 by Brian Moriarty Translated by: 96144 (from the final chapter of "Witnesses", in tribute to Jonathan Blow) How many of you have personally witnessed a total solar eclipse? One day, to stand in the shadow of the moon is one of many trivial goals in my life. For me, the closest opportunity came over thirty years ago. On February 26, 1979, a solar eclipse passed directly over Portland. I bought a bus ticket and found a place to stay. But in the end, I couldn't get away from work. In fact, anyone living in Portland could tell you that the chances of seeing the sun in February are very slim. So it was certain that on that day, the sky over Portland was overcast, and even if I were there, I would see nothing. The job that kept me from going was my first job after graduating from college: a sales clerk at an old Radio Shack store in the beautiful Worcester commercial district of Massachusetts. On my first day of work, a delivery truck stopped in front of the store. They brought in a large cardboard box, with a legendary name printed on it—TRS-80. This was our store sample, the world's first mass-marketed microcomputer. The TRS-80 Model I had a 1.7 MHz Z80 processor, 4,096 bytes of memory, and a 64-character monochrome text display. The only storage device was a tape recorder. All of this was available for the low price of just $599. (Image of TRS-80 computer)
