While technology has empowered governments, it’s also empowered the individual, and more importantly shifted the material dynamics to better align the incentives of governments with the people. Democracy followed…
Who cares about reading? Take a step back - humans don’t exist to read, reading is a tool, a means to an end. It’s to transmit information from one to another. If we can do that with more information-dense, less lossy…
Surprising how tech people on a tech forum are some of the biggest Luddites. Maybe it’s because the creative destruction is coming to your industry this time?

Also: democracy, capitalism/the global economy, your HOA, a tribe, etc etc Even a weather system is a kind of computational process and “intelligent” in a way
This looks more like a return to form than anything. The first ventures were funding voyages to a New World thousands of miles away, essentially a different planet as far as the people then were concerned. Venture…
