Yuval Noah Harari is the worst offender of the reductionist mindset. I can't even begin to understand how the WEF even listens to that uppity book peddler.

The new economic model will be some sort of feudalism, we are starting to see it already.

It's monthly for sure

Having met someone who was at the top of my country's intelligence machine: CIA is corrupt, other countries fare a bit better but not too well. It's a difficult problem to concentrate so much power and not have corruption.

This is on point! BTC in general is a threat to bad government. Maybe we will see days when governments are way weaker than today, much more effective, and citizens willingly, voluntarily and happily pay taxes a la ancient Greece.

I believe the current US Gov strategy is to get entities submitting under their control to work in controlling bigger and bigger stakes of BTC. If they outright ban it before it is the case, they will create a scenario where people withdraw their BTC to private holding instead of using exchanges. The only way USGov comes out unscathed is if the exchanges are under its control and they control most of the BTC in the world.

However, I think even this scenario is not ideal for them, as BTC outside the system will be worth differently than the one inside USGov. The question will be which one will be worth more, and the bigger the diffference, the more the other BTC will flow in that direction

The main problem is the reductionist approach people try to apply to biology, trying to gloss over the combinatorial complexity of actual living organisms, their biochemistry and their genetics.

The author of trilema.com at some point boasted of having bought a /16 and then renting it out.

Something I don't quite understand is why IPV6 is better, if anything sticking to IPV4 will lead to more "selective" use. Actually useful things get an IP, the rest, well, better get more useful
