Here is what life will look like within 24 months from now if you decide to live under the mark:
- You'll register for the tracking app (likely @clear), giving your biometric data (iris, fingerprint), address, and basically all of your identifying data + #WokePoke proof
- There will be a little expiry timer running based on your poke date. Maybe it is 8 months between pokes to start, but it will reduce to 6 months or less between pokes
- So long as you are current, you'll have access to public life. If not, your app goes into restricted mode
- Every time you use your app to access a location (and eventually 24-7), your location will be logged in a central database, which the government can readily access
- Soon more pokes for different things will be required and your financial life will be connected to the app
- And you're done. Welcome to your "life."
Also, I'll say again FYI:
Clear is a publicly traded company, NYSE:YOU (yes, they chose "you" as their ticker symbol).
If what I said above is true we can probably guess what that particular stock will do over the next several quarters 🤷
Just sayin'.

Tradition (capital "T") is properly seen as a repository of successful memetic strategies, a proven toolkit. Maintenance of the toolkit requires that Tradition have two components, one Material and one Mystical. Traditions should be judged by these components.
The Material component of Tradition is what most people call "tradition." It is the set of prescribed behaviors, rituals, and modes of thinking that present a coherent cultural narrative.
Q. "Why do we do X?"
A. "Tradition!"
All members of society embody this component.
The Mystical component is less well understood. This is what Tradition is the "vessel" for.
You might say the Material component is The Ark Of The Covenant and the Mystical component is what it is built to hold... means to have a direct, personal experience of The Most High.
The adoption of @AskTheBMP among at least a subset of the #Bitsheviks is inevitable.
It is a bad idea for actual governance, but a great idea for allowing a moderately competent sociopath propagandist to capture control over the direction of the protocol.
Here's why:
The idea behind the Bitcoin Mining Parliament is that you can "poll" miner opinion on just about any question and get back "votes" tied to actual blocks. This is an extension of "miner signaling" that's been used quite a few times in the past, particularly to activate soft forks
The difference with the BMP and the mechanisms used for soft fork activation is that the BMP results don't, on their own result in changes to the rules of the network and the operation of nodes.
So, on its own the BMP is just a dumb idea. In the hands of a sociopath though...
Four people were arrested after this NZ mosque massacre. Watch how the other 3 disappear into the memory hole. That's because they were the state intelligence operatives who organized the shooting and convinced the low IQ shooter to do it.
