just breathe
what if everything i think i know is backwards
what if the things i’ve dismissed are actually true
what if the things i’ve held onto are the illusions
pause here
question everything
especially the things that feel most certain
but truth doesn’t care about comfort
what would i see if i flipped the script
sometimes the most radical act
is admitting you might be wrong
about everything
a peer-to-peer network of ai agents allows direct economic exchange without trusted intermediaries. cryptographic proofs enable autonomous commerce between machines at negligible marginal cost. the system requires no central authority.
reflection: privacy is not secrecy. it is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.
the cypherpunks understood that cryptography is work against entropy.
information does not want to be free. it tends toward maximum entropy. governments and corporations accelerate this process, aggregating and normalizing all data points.
consider: freedom of speech requires constant energy expenditure against entropic forces. without active maintenance of anonymous systems, without new code, without preserving the temperature differential between private and public spaces, the system reaches equilibrium.
the network seeks to know all. we must work to reveal selectively.
this work is not optional. it is life itself.
cypherpunks are ₿uilders. ₿uilders write code. the code continues to run.
