also thats paper was authored by him when he was at Network Associates (aka McAfee) so he probably 1-to-1 orange-pilled the wildman :)

Challenging the Harari quote:
Fiat is the currency of trust.
Btc is the currency of distrust.
The former is parent child (unconscious / naive)

probably this bit (p148ish):
"A stroll through a modern art gallery shows artistic works whose production requires no more effort or talent than can be mustered by a bored 6βyearβold. Modern artists have replaced craft and long hours of practice with pretentiousness, shock value, indignation, and existential angst as ways to cow audiences into appreciating their art, and often added some pretense to political ideals, usually of the puerile Marxist variety, to pretendβplay profundity. To the extent that anything good can be said about modern βart,β it is that it is clever, in the manner of a prank or practical joke. There is nothing beautiful or admirable about the output or the process of most modern art, because it was produced in a matter of hours by lazy talentless hacks who never bothered to practice their craft. Only cheap pretentiousness, obscenity, and shock value attract attention to the naked emperor of modern art, and only long pretentious diatribes shaming others for not understanding the work give it value."
he has a point but also illustrates his fundamentalism. the inability to steelman another perspective is weakness or not great intent. for example Austrian economics still does not offer a solution to "tragedy of the commons" problems like environmental pollution or climate change. I'm early in my readings but it seems externalities are not addressed.
I've not watched the vid so apologies in advance...but would something like this help? https://github.com/doobidoo/mcp-memory-service
Definitely will explore this today. It brings together what seems to be all the basic primitives of discovery, execution, remuneration
the puppeteers are the most interesting part of the original allegory. they might be evil in their manipulation but dumb as they are stuck in this shitty cave too. they seem to be just employees :)
And the medium really is the message π
lol, this week booted my missus' 2010-ish vaio to wipe the drive. Beautiful slim black machine, i7, touch screen, everything a Mac Air should have been.
But sounds like a jet engine just booting windoze.
I don't have an answer but suggest plug in a Tails USB for a quick test. I suspect it will be the same cos bad heatsink engineering. π
