(1/8) Wowowow. Super bullish on @ystrickler's Bentoism.

It's a ridiculously good synthesis and action framework for escaping our hidden default of financial maximization.

For any question, should I do ______?, ask {Now Me, Now Us, Future Me, Future Us}.

bentoism.org
(2/8) Here is @ystrickler's Bento box. I strongly resonate with:

- Show people the Matrix {Now Me}
- Create a better Matrix {Future Me}
(3/8) The Bento box reminds me of @TheKenWilber's Integral Theory 2x2.

The difference is that Wilber uses "interior vs. exterior" as the 2nd dimension, while @ystrickler uses "now vs. future".
(4/8) Even @ystrickler's meta perspective-based framing here is good.

(...Though I do wonder if there's a good way to be an identity-minimized meta-Bentoist?)
(5/8) .@ystrickler was inspired by Elizabeth Anderson's book goodreads.com/book/show/2641….

Elizabeth just won a @macfound Fellowship this year. macfound.org/fellows/1028/ In her video, Elizabeth talks about how she likes to bring in history to inform her philosophy 👇
(6/8) "History is illuminating b/c where we are today is a product of ideas we've inherited from the past.

When you dig back to the idea's origins, it helps illuminate why we have habits of thought which might not be well adjusted to current experience."
(7/8) Deeply reminds me of goodreads.com/book/show/3505…
(8/8) Anywho, I'm only a couple chapters in, but I def recommend reading the book goodreads.com/book/show/4452…

1/ Coming up from a deep dive on the DeFi 2.0 rabbit hole. My learnings:

I. Where Are We Now?
II. NFTs, DAOs, and DeFi Are A Feedback Loop
III. Crypto Is A "Nuclear Reactor" For Money and Memes
IV. What's Going On In DeFi 2.0?
V. Other Trends

I. Where Are We Now?

DeFi Summer of 2020 was just a $10B blip. We're now at $100B. ImageImage

1/ This was excellent. Some of my learnings:
2/ DAOs don't make money. (No offense.)

They sell tokens or have investors.
3/ Lots of folks in China. @DAOSquare is a leader here.

1/ I'm excited to share a piece I've been working on for 3 months:

"We Need To Talk: Marriage Counseling with Capitalism Itself"

I'm proud of it! One review:

"It is SO good. I hope with all my heart that is the direction we are going towards."

Thread👇
rhyslindmark.com/marriage-couns…
2/The premise is funny—Humanity, Capitalism, and Post-Capitalism are in relationship therapy.

Their problem:
-Humanity has outgrown Capitalism
-But Humanity doesn't know what Post-Capitalism looks like

They focus on 4 pillars of post-cap through dialogue, VR, and illustrations.
3/ The four pillars of post-capitalism:

BENTOISM: Zooming out to care about each other and the planet
GENEROSITY: Many of us have enough and can give back
COHERENT PLURALISM: Looking at issues from every angle
NETWORKISM: The rise of internet-enabled decentralized networks

1/ Thread from the @SimonsInstitute workshop on:

Blockchain in Society: Applications, Economics, Law, and Ethics.

Schedule and livestream here: simons.berkeley.edu/workshops/sche…
1a/ First, Kobbi Nissim on "Predicate Signaling Out". (PSO)

AFAIU, it is a technical definition of privacy that formalizes the legal requirements of GDPR. (Asks the question—when could an adversary "signal out" a single person/row from a database?)

arxiv.org/abs/1904.06009
1b/ I didn't really understand the math of PSO, but some other learnings:

-Differential privacy (DP) and k-anonymity are defined mathematically. Contextual Integrity and Robot Lawyers are defined with formal logic.
-Nissim tried to create a math def of FERPA. It ended up ~= DP.

@socrates1024 @neha @ittaia @kanzure @dahlia_malkhi @Libra_ @LivepeerOrg @YondonFu @gnosisPM @AFDudley0 @AriJuels @initc3org 7b/ @arijuels looking into the game theory of these DEX arbitrage bots.

- Bots tend towards an equilibria (w.r.t. gas price)
- There are Wall St.-like latency wars! (Bots have started to do more raises over time.)

A great reminder that DEX arbitrage is just the tip of the iceberg—only .1% of total volume. See @BitwiseInvest report for example of CEX. (95% of reported volume is fake!)

@socrates1024 @neha @ittaia @kanzure @dahlia_malkhi @Libra_ @LivepeerOrg @YondonFu @gnosisPM @AFDudley0 @AriJuels @initc3org @phildaian @BitwiseInvest 7d/ @AriJuels @initc3org with a hilarious point—they accidentally supercharged the bot community by:

- Creating GasToken (used by bots)
- Publishing blog post (which brought more attention!)

Check out the paper w/ @phildaian! arxiv.org/abs/1904.05234

1/ Thread from #CESSummit2019.

Starting with @neha @socrates1024's overview of the "why" for this event:

- Catalyzing a new interdisciplinary academic field to increase signal-to-noise.
- Experimenting with peer review, and how it should interoperate with IRC, forums, Twitter.
@neha @socrates1024 2/ @ittaia on Decentralized Trust. Looking at "who can vote?"

- Proof of Authority (Libra, POA)
- PoW (Bitcoin)
- PoS (ETH 2.0, Tendermint)
- PoSpace (Chia)

All of these abstract to "money". Ittai asks: which ones lead to plutocracy, monopoly, and bribery?

#CESSummit2019
@neha @socrates1024 @ittaia 2b/ @ittaia differentiating between voting rights and voting protocol (consensus protocol).

First choose voting right, *then* choose voting protocol.

(Though it seems like PoW strongly implies Nakamoto consensus?)
