There is a need for a new style of writing. I assure you it will emerge. It will go as follows: someone will use OpenTimeStamps to prove they wrote something, and in conjunction with sharing its hash, a sort of riddle will be shared with the world, and published from an identitifier (perhaps over NOSTR or something similar, cryptographically signed, and importantly, hard to delete). While binary market predictions enable playing both sides and revealing only the correct one, possibly being sly about the riddle shared, an essay and a riddle together, especially if one establishes a track record of revealing in a way that seems faithful, will not be possible to fake. To prove "I knew exactly the statement that would need to be put out, years in advance, and I knew that certain circumstances might require it with uncertainty as to whether those would arise." This will be required by the statesman of the future. Proof of work? This will be proof of thought at a tier above the mercantilist who appeals to wealth as a substitute for the power of wisdom and the ability to shape the thoughts and actions of men.
Nothing else is being attempted, whether admitted or not, than the complete transformation, even the weakening and suppression of the individual: the supporters of the majority never tire of enumerating and anathematising all that is bad, hostile, lavish, expensive, and luxurious in the form of individual existence. # 132
"Increasing interdependencies multiply the power sources in society which cannot be politically controlled" - Luhmann, Trust and Power Hence, the isolationist bitcoiner who stomps his feet about the future world does little to actively impose his will onto the world beyond his trifling consumptive activities.
I was writing about similar things with Nostr a couple years ago (on Subdtack), but now I find it to be a bit too much armchair theorizing for my taste. The notion of a parallel world is cope. One must enter the world and gradually shift it from within. Bitcoiners theorize about future security, I shape (to whatever limited extent) the actual physical security. Who is closer to shaping the future? It's a network effect problem. If one builds the future without backwards compatibility into the present, it is a hypothetical future, not a present parallel reality of much weight.
Ferrari was the original, beautiful, yet temperamental Lambo was the vengeful clone, wanting more cars, for all the masses Which is bitcoin, which is ethereum? Whence will end the mediocre's hysterium? When will bitcoiners embrace refined elitism?
Heading to Riga, Latvia Traveling throughout Eastern Europe a bit, and will probably also go by Berlin and London Anyone interested in meeting, feel free to reach out
A high time preference A low time preference What if I prefer to not think in time or history at all? Perhaps only then could the future ever be mine
Background in bleeding edge aerospace and weapons... beyond what startups touch. Disgust with mediocrity worship brought me to bitcoin, but I realized the world has no cogsec to stop the mediocrity worship philosophy and that things go much deeper than just fiat for the true roots of slop. @DeltaClimbs on twitter.
