You are certainly in control of what you're interested in.
Kind of surprised: a lot of the people I thought my most recent WBD interview would really irk, have had pretty positive things to say about my arguments -- even if they didn't fully agree with me!
Democracy theorists have been thinking about this for a long time. Technically, electing representatives through lotteries is still completely democratic.
Democracy just means that everyone has equal political rights and equal political franchise. A random lottery still fits this definition!
The arguments for it are reasonably compelling. Trial juries are often cited as an example of how randomly selected citizens do a much better job at making dispassionate decisions than self-selected groups are.
Who thinks I should return to Nostr?
nostr:npub1hyqrsvl6hle8r5rc9cpshesm0mpcee75tgde4p5lhke5h83dyqqqdwk7cp do you think the AI will save us from ourselves?

... like the TikTok of microblogging.
Tried Threads. If I'm being honest with myself, I think it might be widely successful. But not necessarily because I think it's good. I think it's because they've clearly chosen to go all-in on algorithmic dopamine hits, and engagement farming to maximize addiction. Which, let's be honest, is bad for humanity and democracy.
I know nostr:npub1hyqrsvl6hle8r5rc9cpshesm0mpcee75tgde4p5lhke5h83dyqqqdwk7cp is going to have fun with this one. 😂 nostr:note1upjt573dcsht5ky7t4waetk0vyzyua69h45kma62cxzke2qpujzsea4rpc
The thing about aliens is: it's never aliens.
New track drop by my daughter, Autumn! https://tidal.com/track/299386433
A lot of armchair economists in bitcoin seem to think that there's such a thing as a true equilibrium price (my words) for things. Especially US Dollars and Bitcoin, and that that this price differs greatly from the marginal price, as a result of naïveté of participants in the market. This allows you to deduce the inevitability of future price trends with high certainty. Personally, I think this is nonsense. The marginal price is all that exists. Period.
I think this is true of *all* exchange markets, without exception.
Lot's of exciting things happening in Lagos! 
I have officially confirmed that Chicken Republic in Nigeria is way better than KFC. 
Hi Nigeria. 👋
I prefer to think of it as a rolling cauldron of incoherent normative ethical claims.
Well, the politics of virtue is not terribly logical. It’s filled with arbitrary lines being drawn all over.
Hey, it’s my first blog post in like 20 years. I feel like I have stuff to say. https://medium.com/@mike.brock/the-politics-of-virtue-versus-the-politics-of-consequence-dfbe6932ab83
I hate living through the great epistemic crisis. It probably doesn't end well.
I have quite a few more thought experiments on anarcho-capitalism that demonstrate regression problems!
