Toward a Mythos of Extropy

[Clinamenic]

Actually a blockchain may make for an interesting analogue to a genome. Perhaps segments of the transaction history can be "inhibited" from being accounted for the in the pathways paved by smart contracts, and we can have a fundamentally immutable ledger that can nonetheless be retroactively switched around.

I'm inclined to think that general transaction activity would not be smart to silence or temporarily deactivate, but perhaps we can have spans of the transaction history that are pre-emptively allocated for such an on/off operability.

Perhaps we can have flashloans that deactivate and reactivate a span of the ledger, all within milliseconds.

Or perhaps we can have parachains that can be activated and deactivated by smart contracts, as a sort of auxiliary genome inhibition.

That’s like the exact opposite of extropy

You should watch a molecular biology lecture luke, they're quite riveting.

Well I'm going to play streets of rage with my sisters partner now but maybe tOmortow. What's the best one?

I haven't seen this new one, but Royal Institution has these (seemingly public) seminars that are informative and often entertaining. This one looks promising.

Have you arrived at the mythos of extropy yet or are you still going towards it?

 

[Clinamenic]

I think it would be ideologically based on complex mechanistic systems that guide themselves, a cosmic sovereignty enabled by harmony and innovation.

But ideology itself here seems somewhat out of place. Perhaps it should be replaced by second-order pragmatism, a modular and trans-ideological approach.

 

[Clinamenic]

Alternatively, extropy itself could be construed as God.
