Nozomi's work is always mind bending and this one did not disappoint. We also had an incredible conversation on this week's podcast, find the link in the blog post

A little thought experiment in politics:

I understand that simple majority democracy is not a proven solution, but for simplicity's sake think about this:

The voting for the 2020 American presidential election breaks down as follows -

Candidate 1: 81 million

Candidate 2: 74 million

All other candidates: 2.8 million

The total estimated number of eligible voters in was approximately 239 million, so the percentage of the population who actually voted was 33.9%, 30.9%, and 1.2% respectively.

That means the popular majority of 34% actually chose not to vote for any of the candidates on the ballot.

😒

What if a "non-vote" by these people were taken to mean a vote for no one? Meaning in this case, no one would fill the role, not even the incumbent.

I only assume that more than 34% of the American population would be okay with this outcome, as most the people that I know who voted then we doing so in order to vote "against" the candidate they did not like.

Could we bring back the consent of the governed?

Any plebs out there connected with the manufacturing industry in El Salvador?

Amazing conversation with Scott and Tali of FreeMarketKids.com about homeschooling.

Give it a listen and send them some sats!

Bitcoin is a systematic risk. That's the point.

I always get excited to see a new podcast from Tatum and this one does not disappoint.

Looking for some help with NIP-05 identifiers.

So far we're able to see the verification in Damus and Damus only, no other clients seem to work.

Know anybody that can help?
