Balaji's metaphor about the West transcending itself into a Soviet Union 2.0 is becoming hard to argue against.
I'll raise you this gem.

#farmstr 🔥🔥🔥
I looked into it. Guess what?!
- There's a lady in Nashville who launched a Farmstr company a decade ago.
In mission of empowering the local self sovereign commerce. Open to sustainable ag farmers only.
Now she's pivoted to a new company, Barn2Door, which is essentially following the same mission. Vertically integrated e-commerce & PoS for small farmers.
I'm trying to Orange&Purple pill her, but maybe #Nashville crew can help here.
Integrating LN payments, and (nostr) storefronts aggregator should be pretty doable with the infrastructure they already have. Cheap gain for the market growth. Mission alignment pretty close.
PS. I'm just still little blind of any feedback from the farmers about the company, their services, fiat vs sound ethos.

Is Elon appreciating the unconfiscability yet?
Spying onto what Americans use the electricity they paid for?
Unconstitutional as fuck, this is no China.

Floppy disks are better store of value than any of the fiat currencies. Not just better than the Yen.

Here you go. A real world example, not just some theoretical model.
It's really well readable, and interesting (econ) article diving into the problem of peacekeeping on the frontier in the Wild West.

*very much in contrast with what people assume.
People assume some for of universal governance is the most efficient, naturally emergent solution.
I'd argue that pretty much by the definition, even if it would ever be efficient, it can't stay efficient without being exposws to a free competition of the other governance models.

Actually, it's the opposite for both of them...
Silos are always the dumbest.
It's not. But that doesn't mean we can't dig into the tradeoffs and discuss them normally.
Seth's work over the years has proven to me that he can be the one for reasonable nuanced takes.
The shouting is poor form on both sides.
Fwiw, I'm pretty disappointed by the path this 'discussion' took.
Leave the hyperbole shouting and groupthink to the Twitter. Nostr is for benefit of the doubt and nuance (at least I hoped).
I'm lost here. Leave CZ out.
My point is, it's extremely convenient for the state to project some terrorist threat and labels onto anyone at any point whenever it's convenient for them.
(fear) spreading like covid 🤷♂️
Middle of the sea, huh?
I think I see what your purple paws did here.
