Show Notes

"I’m not asking you to fight the Beast of Big Politics, Big Tech and Big Media. Honestly I don’t know how you would. This is the end of an age, the _fin de siecle_, the period of time where the Beast is strongest because it is everywhere and invisible all at once. Big Politics, Big Tech and Big Media _are_ the water in which we swim. We are totally immersed in the co​mmon knowledge​ that the enemy is the Other Party, and until that com​mon knowledge is weakened substantially, any direct challenge to the Beast is...

Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

    I really enjoyed this read and your commentary afterwards. I've been thinking a lot recently about the binary political system here in the US and the perverse incentives it promotes. Our political system incentivizes polarity and division at its core. The only way to build your following as a party is to demonize the other, and embrace the far fringes on your political side as this is far easier than actually attempting to reach across the proverbial or literal aisle. It is as though at the core of our society there is a pervasive and powerful force of division that splits us apart from each other. Like gravity pulls all things towards centers of mass over time, this force drives us apart with time. And the worst part, our systems can't seem to overcome this internal force. We can only unite when an outside force drives us to realize that we have more in common than we have apart. It could be war, economic peril, disease, or natural disaster, but some powerful external force is always needed to pull us from the event horizon of what divides us. While I have no concrete thoughts yet on how we fix this yet, it's something that's been on my mind. Bitcoin gives me hope as a system that exists outside our political divisions, offering the same hope of individual monetary sovereignty to all who would embrace it. I don't know what the future holds, I belive things get worse before they improve, but I have hope.
