Some live notes from #Urbit Volcano Summit (no spoilers). Mistakes if any are mine.

Realm is not like Discord

Realm is not like Metamask

Realm is not like Windows nor macOS

Realm is not like Zoom, nor Telegram, nor Whatsapp

It is not like any of these things, but because it is so new, you can only understand it using these things.

1/n
Realm, developed by @HoliumCorp, is an interface to your @urbit ship. The desktop feels like macOS, Discord and Metamask were beautifully melded together.

Realm will power "web3" and DAO's better than Discord ever could.

And it works - right now.
The most powerful feature of Realm is that it runs on @urbit. This allows you to have a single identity that persists throughout. No need to create new accounts for services and remember silly passwords. 2FA to login to Discord? Scan a QR code every few weeks for Whatsapp? Nope.

Nearly 100% of all major culture movies, music, TV, books, video games even abandonware will be owned by GloboHomo mega corps in league with the Regime. They will censor, destroy, lie about, etc. old media to manipulate history. Orwell 1984 control the past and you control…
George Orwell 1984 - "Who Controls the Past Controls the Future" - They DO NOT want NPCs being able to find out how people looked, talked, thought, etc. in decades past. Ex - I’m watching Roswell - 1999 on DVD and stunned how stark the difference is as this was my own childhood.

Suffering through the 4th episode of Velma. Joke early on about Fred getting suspended for doing a science project Freud to Jung science of Horniness when trying to rate hot girls like Wheat Waffles. Now I’d actually love to see that. Then of course his brain is broken by…
The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan all of which just like Gloria Steinem was a giant CIA psyop. I was surprised how disgusted I felt at how genuinely anti-science it eas but then again the whole show is retarded. Indian Matchmaking on Netflix actually helps improve…
The public image of Indian-Americans while Velma and Mindy Kaling have done a phenomenal job of damaging it. 4th episode literally a celebration of ugliness. My fanfic would have it be turn Velma into the sexy librarian she already is but definitely not this demonic version

Ok, here’s a story about #DAOs, their evolution, and their on-chain/off-chain nature.

Back in 2014, @VitalikButerin wrote what is essentially Ethereum’s original position paper on this subject, the famous DAO/DAC post on ethereum.org.

👇👇
DAOs were quite abstract concepts back then, there were no such things in production.

There was also a sense that DAOs were something new, a revolutionary species of digital organization. And that they didn’t exist before because it was *smart contracts* that enabled them.
It should be no surprise, then, that the first DAOs put a heavy emphasis on codifying their functionality on-chain, within smart contract logic.

Many ask _what_ Urbit is and are dissatisfied with the answer. Perhaps what they really want to know is the _why_ behind Urbit. Once you understand that, the other parts make much more sense.
Mega🧵👇
Behind Urbit there is a central thesis: that you cannot be in control of your digital identity or persona without being in control of the computation related to that identity.
