People in @ConstitutionDAO core contributor private chats should not be allowed to bet on prediction markets about whether they will be successful.
If anyone has private info about whales or other addresses, they should be very careful about putting money in prediction markets.
To be clear I didn’t see anyone discussing buying into those prediction markets
But there could be information in the private channels that is not publicly available that affect outcomes
Crypto can be like the Wild West
Some securities laws exist for good reason (others, like number of investors allowed in a round at a time, or aspects of accreditation maybe less so, in my opinion)
In theory someone could make a second address anonymously and bet in a crypto prediction market using their insider info
There are markets set up around questions like “Will ConstitutionDAO get the constitution?”
I’m not trying to cause FUD, I’m trying to shine a light on this sort of exploitation of information asymmetry that comes from private channels + anonymous wallet creation
Taking these learnings from my time at ConstitutionDAO and will apply them to future projects

I used to work at YouTube doing virtual reality. There I met some amazing people, including @debfx. He showed me a demo for a light field VR rendering project that he was working on.
For those that do not know, a light field is a mathematical description of a volume of light
It is understanding every ray of light in a scene
Why is this so powerful?
Light is the medium of our consciousness. It is what connects us to each other and the universe
By creating a perfect light field you can create a perfect (or near perfect) re-image or meta-image of our own world in virtual reality
“You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're all doing what we can”
“But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait“
“You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We'd all love to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead”
I wrote this article, knowing that it might cause me to be removed -- and announced it publicly without any permission
The core team voted on me being removed, and I resigned.
I'd like to explain why I wrote it:
I wish I could have reached consensus with the rest of the core contributors before posting that, but I wrote that article at 2am, and I reached out to everyone in the core team who happened to be online (only 2 others)
I acted unilaterally because I thought that it was *extremely* important to get that idea out there in time, since we are so limited on time.
The idea itself isn't anything novel, anyone could have had it, and people have been doing it for a long time.
