Gm. I see Larry Fink is having fun. But this fun, a Monday morning?

We face a near future where we may soon have access to almost everything we desire – at least in the digital realm. Unfortunately, what we wish for doesn’t always align with what we truly need. - How do we create technical solutions that meet our fundamental needs for human connection – rather than just supplying mindless scrolling entertainment? - How can we ensure those collecting our data don’t exploit it for their own interests, selling us things we don’t need?

Not sure who posted it but this quote reminded me of both #Bitcoin and #Nostr, in particular Hayek's idea that "if we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, [then] all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop" #mckenna

I was today years old when I found out that the Lord's Prayer differs between Protestants and Catholics.

If our parliaments and governments are serious about improving robustness and preparedness, it is high time to leave old thought patterns such as Chat Control behind and instead back novel technologies such as asymmetric encryption and zero-knowledge proofs! New piece out! View Article →
