- Listen: The nitty-gritty of small town, bottom up (self-) governance
- Listen: What’s a “good” education?
- Hahaha! An NFT of Jack Dorsey’s first tweet sold for $2.9 million in March 2021. It was re-listed for sale for $48 million, but only got a bid of $280. That’s a 99.999% drop in “value”. RIP NFTs 😉
- Listen: Is the U.S. Really Less Corrupt Than China — and How About Russia?
- Read: Heard of data colonialism? Here’s an example: “Worldcoin promises a fairly-distributed, cryptocurrency-based universal basic income. So far all it’s done is build a biometric database from the bodies of the poor.“
- Listen: A Ukrainian on how the West is failing and (read) how the rest of the world might kinda support Putin (due to Western hypocrisy among other things).
- Read: Rising groundwater (fed by rising sea-levels) is going to screw up so much infrastructure!
- Read: Making friends with flooding 🙂
- Capitalists are entering the (US) housing market, and it’s looking like they are going to use market power to suck profits (=raise prices) out of people’s pockets. Related: Americans are moving away from climate risks (e.g., wild fires), so expect rising imbalances of supply and demand.
- Money! In praise of USD (cash), digital money is exciting, and digital money will destroy your life.
