Great Episode 👏 Two cents .. At one point you discuss what solutions to the problem of the financial complex running the world could be. You didn't discuss a solution that seems pretty straightforward to me. (I'm not claiming it's easy to implement, but rather that one should be able to prove that it does work.) Here it is: A majority of people need to understand that complexity is an enemy. Political complexity, financial complexity and also digital/technological complexity. Why? Because the more complex the world is, the more obscure mechanisms exist to allow the financial complex to pull the strings with most people not being aware and not being able to do anything about it. So we need simple political systems where people understand the consequences of their actions/decisions. Only then are even able to make decisions that reliably benefit themselves. If the world is (unnecessarily) complex, then people can't even know what's good for them and what's not and what's only good for the elites. Just one good example IMO is the element of randomness that was used it ancient Greece where they elected politicians based on chance. This made it harder for social networking as we have it today with the political parties to capture individual politicians and build power structures that reign from the background. Election by lot is simple and people can easily understand how it works. Nothing obscure about it. No hidden networks influencing (corruption/blackmail/..) who gets the seat. People need to understand that high complexity creates opportunities for powerful entities with great resources to game the system in ways that the individual cannot game the system because the don't have the resources to understand and game. So simplicity is imperfect but good for the people.

People are actually still using Tox? Used qtox for group audio a few years ago and it worked surprisingly well.

Any good explanation why of all BIPs BIP-110 isn't listed here? https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/tree/master

Happening in NL ...

Unless .. "they" manage to sabotage it .. with CP .. or by taxing capital gains with > 50 % .. of by propagandizing and linking it to "villains" like Kim Jong Un or Putin ..

The hard part is IMO: how do you learn/grow/accustom yourself to not just habitually give in _without_ either being an asshole or being perceived as an asshole. That's IMO a very narrow target to hit and most people - reasonably - err on the "not an asshole" side of things ..

Question: why should anyone trust that any of those emails or email screenshots are genuine? Because they were published on some government site?
