HUMANS ARE A FREE SPECIES

Right but clearly more speech is not the answer for misinformation especially when social media is involved

I am curious what the take is over on this site about deliberate misinformation. Over on the “free-speech“ site there’s a bunch of blue checks getting engagement by claiming that the wildfires have been started by climate change activists. This strikes me as not helpful at all. Is this just collateral epistemic damage?

There’s a fairly concerning story in the UK press this past month about a famous politician being unbanked because his bank unilaterally decided that he…

“stated views that were at odds with our position as an inclusive organisation.”.

Banning their own customers doesn’t seem very inclusive of them, but here are.

The politician has used FOI to get all the banks internal correspondence on him, which is now all over the British press and is humiliating for the bank and ruinous of its professional reputation.

There are also 10,000 other banned customers using the same letter templates to demand copies of internal correspondence relative to their closed accounts.

Virtually this banks entire mail server is going to end up being released to the public and a torrent of ugly lawsuits will follow, probably spelling the end of this banks under current trading name.

No human has ever seen what the world really looks like. We've only seen how bundles of neurons make sense of the electrical impulses from the photons hitting the back of our retina, sending signals down the optic nerve.

If you saw the world the way it looks in totality, when you looked up in the night sky, you wouldn't see blackness. If your eyes were sensitive to infrared light, radio frequencies, microwaves, ultraviolet and the entire electromagnetic spectrum, you'd see a universe glowing brilliantly above you. Yet we see but a tiny sliver of what we call "visible light".

It is strange that our intuition is that the human eye is the gold standard for visual perception of reality, when it sees so little of it.

Phoenix Wallet is really good.

Why does everyone recommend Wallet of Satoshi (black box, closed source) but not Phoenix?
