"In case of extreme market irrationality, Emergency Shutdown gracefully settles the Maker Platform"
- Perhaps one of the most beautiful sentences in a long time.
I think this was the magic for me: nobody I talked to looked at it through the lens of oppression. I used the word oppression once, but I was the only one.
It's good to remind ourselves that beyond the twitter identity wars and the awkward silence there's a whole world of reasonable people who want to improve our society together.
Was happy to join a very constructive & interesting meeting on gender equity, diversity, and culture in academia at @snsf_ch's #Primaleadership program.
Communism failed because it (supposedly) eliminated inequality of property, but not inequality of power.
Democracy is designed to eliminate inequality of power.

🤔 critical critical theory theory
So I'm reading up on the 2017 Parity blockchain hack and it's just absolutely hilarious.
The exploited bug is like "accidentally" allowing anyone on the internet to just call any method in some code. And the code manages your bank account.

So... I'm trying to understand critical race theory, but I feel they're making it unnecessarily hard...

I ultimately think one of the best things about psychedelics is they show you how radically different you can be as a conscious experience
You don’t have to die who you were born, and we have thousands of years more technology to leverage in crafting our own awareness
One last thing: by doing this, you're proving every right-wing nuthead right who claims their opinion is being oppressed, this is not a free country anymore yada yada yada. Let's not. Let's not give them that power.
My country places some limits on free speech (e.g. you can't deny the holocaust or openly incite violence). But these are coded in law and enforced by the state, i.e. they follow the usual democratic process. This doesn't.
This leads to political correctness and self-censorship.
This form of censorship is particularly insidious because it is invisible - we don't see books banned that never get written.
