I hope others are concerned about some of these questions as well >What is better about a world in which you and your family are at risk of death by autonomous kill-drones? In the sense of what really matters in a human lifetime, is there meaningful value in any of this prodigious technological advancement? It might be powerful, or even awesome, but is it good or beautiful? https://consilienceproject.org/development-in-progress

Not sure it helps anyone calling the stalled out chain Bitcoin. I was squarely on the BIP110 side, we didn't win and I'm not on board with a hard fork that does nothing meaningful to increase Bitcoin adoption as money. At least the upcoming ecash hard fork will have smaller blocks and drivechains, i.e. something meaningful to add on a technical level.

Isn't this a problem for all known crypto systems?

Why should the bip110 coin be more valuable than monero though?

Bitcoin fixes this, and also that. Sure, but some nuance is needed. For those of you who have 3 hours on a (post BIP110 failure) Sunday, this is a must watch. The difference between "real" and "naive" progress is something I was struggling to articulate for a while and it's one of those concepts that does a lot to improve the way we look at the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmusbHBKW84

I think Nostr will succeed to the degree that it remains a relatively niche protocol and platform, preventing many of the issues that come from scale.

A totally man-made environment is bound to lead humanity down a very rough path in my opinion. We need to understand how to get along with nature by developing our awareness with respect to the use and consequences of our tools.

I'm currently reading "Tools For Conviviality" by Ivan Illich and he talks a lot about how technologies and institutions are demonstrably useful until they reach a certain threshold of implementation and adoption. After such threshold is however surpassed more implementation frustrates the original ends.
