i.e finance will be much cheaper, have better u.x, serve more people

a large percentage of assets in the world

one "use" case, (I hate the term bc it assumes that technologies must conform to our preconceived notion of "social problems" ) is the massive scalability it affords.

First I will say I think the term "web3" is basically a way to get VC's to shill their bags. Even the term "metaverse" is stupid and misued. on the contrary, "regulation" could be as simple as coming after known bad-actors and grifters, it doesn't entail a group that manages it, nor the loss of...

gimme a sec lemme catch up

im going to edit this post tomorrow and write something more interesting to keep this thread alive. im falling asleep it is way past my bedtime gn

makes sense. how old are you @version.

found this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7580464/ but it doesnt actually seem like something that an internet natives would suffer from...just paranoid old cranks

maybe its because i am not too aware of myself but what does it mean to be aware of oneself. isn't that just a thing that comes with getting old?

what do you mean by self-awareness. the latter i agree with, though only in part.

im young and I grew up with the net like many here. I learned to browse files and load up games on my dad's laptop before I could even read. but I was reading hacking's looping kinds and it got me thinking-- what might be some pathologies associated with being hooked up 24/7 to the internet...

never underestimate the power of collective mutual masterbation. think of this kind of work as the "theology" of crypto. not bad per se, but it has an agenda.

yes hyperstructures is a good article. puts a name to the "ideal financial infra"

People generally have very different ideas of what constitutes dystopian vs non-dystopian. usually gets used as a rhetorical device to give their statements more oomph. regardless, ill try to answer ur question. i think the governance tools for smaller communities, stuff like multi-sig wallets...

ok. i wont say non-dystopian, there are dystopian elements to crypto. one scary one is that virtually everything can and will be tokenized into something liquid and tradable for money. markets will replace many coordination games which relied on their own non-monetary currency (e.g social...

do you mean like use cases or like end game?

yeah I think vigilante's can only really exist within the context of a state - if there was never a state or police it's just different factions using violence to enforce some rules

a question I have is there a legitimate non-ideological difference between a vigilante group and the police? is it a question of organization-level or accountability?

I realize now that I probably was too charitable with my usage of "vigilante". if it includes fascist orgs then I obviously don't love them. But I don't thinkproud boys are vigilantes, (even if they claim to be so.) In my eyes, vigilantes are organized groups that enforce some kind of law or...

I've heard about it, read some stuff but if you can send me some reading stuff I can check it out. My only concern with city-related stuff is the design space is so new I feel like anything used by a government now will become obsolete within two years,
